"Diahann Carroll? Oh, those kids go apey for Diahann Carroll."

Why didn't America flock to see The Soloist?
One word: ashy.

Never seen Beyond the Poseidon Adventure and know nothing about it
But I mean, c'mon—Karl Malden, Michael Caine, Peter Boyle—looks like a good movie to me.

Foxx should be a shoo-in for the Cyrus Dewey award this year.

"t was to this small backroom, when Nasty, Dirk, Stig, Barry and Leppo came to relax, when they weren't upstairs, entertaining the other rats dining in the other Rat Keller. Here, they had bed and breakfast. There's the bed. The breakfast, of course, long since gone. Rodently chewed, mouse-masticated, in a word: eaten…

I noticed the conspicuous absence of Kings in my DVR's scheduled recordings list. This explains it.

Did anybody else initially misread LaBoeuf's line as "Just tell me where my mark is Baby Jesus."?

And yes, Puzz, you totally nailed why I hate Gokey, besides his overrated singing voice and douchey glasses/goatee/spikey hair combo, aka "The Triumvirate of Douche."

There's a reason people invented bullshit: It works.

Just noticed something
It's not apparent in the full size photo above, but if you look at the thumbnail on the main page, it looks like he has a joint sticking out of his nose.

"…had to buy a fistful of crap…"

Yeah, I definitely understand that's it's political, but I wouldn't consider it a "political thriller," which is a subgenre on its own. The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May, those are political thrillers.

Political thriller?
Have you *seen* The Wages of Fear?

"That book" = "The Day of Creation"

I own that book, having bought it for $1 or something at a flea market, but I never got around to reading it. I've read some negative reviews of it, but I trust the literary opinions of the guy named after a Gormenghast character, so I'm going to move it up on the to-read pile.

Whatever happened to Keith Coogan? He was likeable.

Anthony Rapp
was in Adventures in Babysitting? I never noticed that until I saw the picture above.

I have identified what Adam is. He is the 00's equivalent of Sam Harris, that guy on Star Search who won about 8 million times in a row doing a histrionic, down on his knees, chest thumping rendition of "Over the Rainbow." It goes without saying that he was super gay.

"Zac Efron? More like 'Zac, what the F is WRONG with you! Bitch, pleeze!" That was the first time I've laughed at SNL since I don't know when.

Nope. Just Matt and Matt's family, friends and fans. I bet they won't do it next season
