I'm wondering what role Slater-san is going to have. He hasn't done much so far, but I'm guessing, based on his hesitation last week, that he's going to be a liability to Midnight Cowboy.

What bugged me was Olivia's immediate "OK, I'm evil now" smirk as soon as Ethan left and she got on the cellphone to call the reporter dude. Kinda lame the way she played it. There was no nuance. If she'd had a mustache she would've been twirling it. Nice misdirection on the part of the writers, though, because…

I meant that folky ballad that Brett sang in last night's episode.

That song was very reminiscent of Peter Sarstedt's "Where Do You Go to My Lovely?" as featured in Hotel Chevalier. I'd go as far as to say that it was a deliberate homage.

Kenny *Fucking* Powers

Is this the one
about the sexy vampires who like to have sex with each other?

I knew it.

I just want a metal week rather than the usual "Mariah Carey songbook" bullshit, I don't care who the celebrity guest is. If they were going to do such a thing, though, it would be Ozzy, because who else? He's already on FOX.

They saved their save because that "Jolene" performance was hella weak.

My wife and I were half-jokingly discussing what they should do, and we both thought they should do a metal theme, and they can have Ozzy on to coach the kids and give advice. It would be entertaining, and yet another opportunity for FOX to plug the new Osbournes show.

I DVR'd the whole show and skimmed through it quickly. I watched a few seconds of the group number. Seriously, I thought it was the "Saved By the Bell" theme song. It was unendurable as usual, so I quickly skipped past it. By the way, notice how they coach the performers to put the mics right up in front of their…

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when I was 5. Seriously.

The best part of that monologue was Dusty's "what the fuck?" look on his face. He was obviously mortified.

I tried. God, did I try. And when I say "god" I am referring to Hypnos, the God of Sleep, because that is who must have sprinkled his magic sleepytime dust on me whenever I tried reading that fucking book.

Me: "What's this 'migraine' thing you're talking about?
Migraine Sufferer on the Internet: "It's like a really, really bad headache."
Me: "What's a headache?"
Migraine Sufferer on the Internet: "You know, a throbbing pain in your head that makes it feel like it's going to explode."
Me: Shakes head confusedly with a…

Kids are fucking stupid.

@magnus: Yes, The Riches is very good. Definitely a must-see.

I think David Cross is funny, but Patton Oswalt, Louis C.K. and Zach Galifianakis all kick his ass when it comes to being gutbustingly funny. Cross always has to get on a soapbox and pay more attention to getting his point across than to making people laugh.

David Cross has said some pretty derogatory things about Eddie Izzard.

She was also in Black Snake Moan playing Christina Ricci's mom. I saw it once, that was enough.
