It's a new semester, so I believe she's done with that class.

I really laughed at "where are all the baby pigeons?", and then I started wondering about that.

I suppose being a love interest for Wesley Crusher is pretty easy to move up from.

Either:

The white tulip note was the best surprise finale reappearance of a continuity callback scribbling since the "Bartlet for America" napkin at the end of The West Wing.

I find Liam Neeson's recent ascent to action hero status strangely gratifying, even though I have no interest in seeing them, as a general rule.

It's an interesting premise for a show, particulary for a comedy.  If they pull it off it could be a great thing for depictions of disability on TV; but the writing will require some skill.

One could argue that Rory just lives in a very nerdy environment.

No obsession with pop culture?  Rory spewed obscure references constantly.

Eagles Greatest Hits.

In retrospect, the premise of that show is just amazingly weird.  But kids just accept stuff like that, things that would seem incredibly surreal in adulthood.

I didn't say anything about her acting or singing (I thought she was excellent at both).  I just think the visual would be funny.

Chevalier has the only good songs in Gigi.

I want someone to take the footage of Eponine singing "On My Own" in the rain in the Les Miserables movie and overdub it with that song.

I agree, Redmayne gave one of the best takes on Marius I've seen, not just in the stage show but compared to various other adaptations of the novel.  I'd have much rather he be nominated for Supporting Actor over the capable but not exactly revolutionary work by somebody like Alan Arkin.

The solos were easily Crowe's weakest moments.  Otherwise I thought he ranged from adequate to good, particularly in "Fantine's Arrest", where his sing-songy tone really gets across how little he cares about Fantine's impassioned pleas.

Since Les Miserables occasioned this piece:

While it's not as fun to listen to on a musical level, the slowed-down "sad" reprise of "America, Fuck Yeah!" takes the joke to another level.

Will he have to sleep with the director to get it?

So far neither of them have that kind of momentum.  Day-Lewis has far more critical acclaim, and his movie has made more money (much more, in comparison it Cooper's).  And his film is the nomination leader and is on course for a BP win.
