Mark Ibold has worked on/with/appeared on Strangers With Candy — which was created by Colbert.

Greg has to come back so that he can (unwittingly) raise Roger and Joan's baby.

You people claiming that Don's is a good father are nuts. Does no one remember the third episode of this show when he ditches Sally's birthday party and refuses to take 10 minutes out of his busy schedule to pick up her cake so he can go spend a few hours getting wasted down by the train tracks? Do you have any idea…

I'd like to see him reprise his Tim Whatley role if only to see Walter H. White request another "schtickle of fluoride."

@ Jidges — Well we're at it, who would have ever thought that Hamm would be such a gifted comic actor? He's always so stoic and humorless on Mad Men.

@ Sir Osis & Tecumsah —

Hmmm…
I really like SY's score for this film, but I've never seen it or even really heard much about it. It sounds kind of interesting and mindfuck-y so I stopped reading the review halfway through thinking I might watch it soon. But most of the comments seem to indicate that it's awful.

Believe me,Baldric, an eternity in the company of Beelzebub and all his hellish minions will be as nothing compared to five minutes alone with me…and this pencil.

Thanks, Accordion. That helps me make a bit more sense of it.

Buddies would have been a very appropriate ending for the show. EXCEPT — Where's David??? That sketch has never felt right to me simply because the two leads should be Bob and David. As in Mr Show With BOB and DAVID. Such weird choices throughout the 4th season…

Snoopy also had a brother named Marbles if my memory serves me.

Am Tabloid was allegedly being made into an HBO series, but I haven't heard anything about that for a year or two. The first time I saw an ad for Boardwalk Empire, I assumed that that was what it was going to be — and then I realized the time, etc., was all wrong.

There are zoom shots in Rouben Mamoulian's Love Me Tonight (1932); as far as I'm aware, these are the first zooms in cinema (commercial cinema, anyway. And…I know of at least two film professors/scholars who also believe that that's the first use.)

I have it on good authority that Jacques Brel is alive and well and living in Paris.

You've never had to run through an airport to catch a plane before? Complain all you want, but I don't fly very often and I've had to sprint through an airport on at least 3 different occasions.

@ Regular Gonz — A movie/book/what-have-you doesn't need to be good to have something to say or to be about something. So, it doesn't really matter that the back half of FMJ is kind of dull. Kubrick made most of his point in the first 45 minutes. Still doesn't mean that the film isn't about something.

@ Bent — I have to take a little issue with your statement that most Kubrick films aren't really about anything. (And I'm sort of surprised that no one else has yet…) I'd agree with you in a couple of cases, but do you really think that Paths of Glory isn't ABOUT something? Or Dr. Strangelove? Or Clockwork Orange or…

Speaking of Party Downers, I could actually see Ken Marino filling the role pretty nicely. He's good at playing a goofy, sad-sack kind of character.

@ T-Bone — Crichton was a total nut-job, but he did get his MD from Harvard. I'm pretty sure he knew more about science than my 4th grade teacher, Ms. Thomas, who had a teaching certificate from Illinois State U.

A friend of mine went to Kyiv a couple of years ago and got hooked on that honey pepper vodka. It's about all he drinks anymore.
