Oddly enough, my favourite Phil Hartman thing was his movie role, as the voice of Kiki's cat Jiji in "Kiki's Delivery Service". That cat had soul.

Clearly
the title will be "Bridesmaids Revisited".

O'Neal winning
This was epic snark, and well deserved. Also, I am glad that Alyson Hannigan can wring one last paycheque out of the American Pie factory. This will no doubt put food in the mouths of her kids with Alexis Denisof.

I have to agree with AV CLUB CRITICS CRITIC. I got tired of reading, and then found I had 4 more screens full of words words words.

Rumpole of the Bailey
That was one charming drunk - and he was completely functional. He could down a few pints of Black Liffey water or a bottle of Chateau Thames Embankment (his favourite plonk) and still win acquittal for the wrongly accused.

That was ketchup, punk. The dry-cleaning bill just made him even more pissed-off.

Agreed. By these standards, Seal would be prowling the catacombs beneath the opera house rather than being an international sex symbol.

Cheetara was my first introduction to the concept of MILF. It made me feel excited and dirty. She was all motherly to Lion-o, but then when he kicked a bit of ass with that big weapon of his, she's all, my, but you're handsome Lion-o. I didn't know whether he was supposed to want to fuck her or bring her flowers the…

@ O/P: you did that wrong.

Yow… The Best Album list is just hurtful. Worst injustice goes to 1985 - Lionel Ritchie over Born in the USA and Purple Rain. Even giving Bob Newhart a best album Grammy doesn't make up for that travesty.

Steve Irwin, with the stingray. Crikey!

If we're going the Firefly route, Morena Baccarin was always in folks' mind when Joss Whedon was making noises about doing WW. She's real purdy. I would not mind seeing more of here. Also, see her more often.

Personal confession: I just watched the Scrooged clip and cried like a baby. And I cannot tell you why. Probably a tumor.

@Flaubert Cooper
I know it seems like I was attempting to troll the entire AVClub, but I'm not, at least not in the sense that I'm trying to shit in your collective Corn Flakes (tm) simply so I can feel better about myself by tearing you all down.

The Dude does not need your approval. He abides in his greatness.

Too much irony
So the Zackman attempts to transcend the accepted critical line on Bridges - that he is a naturalistic actor nonpareil - and says No! Others cannot see the actor at work, but I do, and THAT is what makes him great.

Oops - Nabin did not in fact use the dread words "phoning it in". But the sentiment was pretty much the same.

K-Pax
First time commenter, long time lurker. On the occasion of this appreciation of one of my top two actors (the other one is Jim Broadbent - so sue me) I went wandering through Netflix and their collection of Jeff Bridges movies.

He ate a banana without peeling it
If that's not commitment to the role, I don't know what it.
