To me, the bigger Blitzer humiliation was when Jon Stewart grilled him about the media's failures over the Iraq War in 2004. Grilled is probably too strong a word, it was a usual Stewart interview, but it was damning nonetheless. Blitzer simply had no answers to even the most basic questions. He couldn't say exactly…

He provided the only laugh of the SNL 40th Anniversary show. Granted, it was as the butt of a joke, and mostly because it was surprising that it was company man Jerry Seinfeld dishing it out, but still.

I'm old enough to remember when watching CNN was something your parents did whenever something "big" was happening, while you were bored silly as the hosts discussed the latest Clinton scandal or whatever. Now it's questionable whether it should even be called a news network anymore, since they covered the Malaysian…

He's Gloria Vanderbilt's son, correct?

I'd rather have a funny impression than an accurate one. On rare occasions you can have both in one but typically it's one or the other.

My wife gave up on this a year ago. Said that they couldn't even properly use Powers Boothe as a heavy. I can't even imagine that.

The woman who you think is the killer won't be the killer. It'll be her closest male relative, who is creepily obsessed with her. Save yourself the time.

The Russian movie definitely takes a different, more marketable angle than the book, but both are good. The Clooney version I do have some issues with, particularly the ending.

I like the idea that in the future, they won't know which was which.

To be honest, it plays better if you start it from when he lands on the station (i.e. forty minutes in). This picks up about where the book starts, and I'm not fond of the first forty minutes not because it's slow, but because so much feels like padding and unnecessary exposition. After that, it's fucking great.

Somehow I doubt that.

I'm only thinking of how many seasons of Jericho they could buy with that money.

Needed more special effects.

I did laugh when Snyder ripped off Terence Malick. Such a cliched thing to do, and not done well, since he shot it with a shakycam style. Mostly just reminded me of that episode of Homicide where they go to see Kay's family on the coast.

Honestly, the only actual joke I can remember from the Dark Knight movies is Batman saying to himself in the Batman voice, "So that's what that's like." I.e. one of the weakest and criticized moments in the movie.

He actually had a bunch of lines in Lebowski. Fargo is the movie where he maybe has four.

I'd prefer he finally follow through and make his adaptation of the Monopoly game, since post-Battleship that would probably be a big flop and then he'd probably not be able to make either of them. QED.

It's true that Ridley Scott is no judge of quality scripts, and it's also true that the Blade Runner sequel seems like a bad idea. But the biggest liability to me would seem to be Ford's involvement. I can't think of a movie he's done since The Fugitive that I've given a damn about, or that he's seemingly given a damn…

"proving that horror fans have deep wallets and short memories"

I don't understand. Who's going to write another sequel to The Best Man since Gore Vidal died? Is the money for that going to go to Harvard too?
