Approximately 60% of all Today Show content is devoted to promoting The Voice these days. NBC would put him on every show they've got if they could.

Angie Dickinson is a spry 84!

All I got is Misterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Boy Luck Club.

Reservoir Bitches? No? Because, you see, a female dog is called…ahh nevermind.

It actually makes a little sense. The general feeling among movie studios is that women will see movies starring men, but men won't see movies starring women. I think the "franchise" aspect of this helps (in theory, at least) to bring in male audiences who are fans of the original. If those movies can make money, that

Fingers crossed for 92-year-old Rose Marie to play the Carl Reiner role.

Male Stagnolias

I don't know…I'm sure you could assemble a cast of women as charismatic and interesting as the Clooney/Pitt version, but what made Ocean's Eleven so fun to watch was Soderberg. I'm not confident "Gary Ross (The Hunger Games)" is gonna bring as much cool visual style to this project.

Eh, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the movie at all. It's more when I see a list of "20 Greatest Horror Movies of All Time" or whatever that waste a spot on Jaws. I know it's a dumb thing to get hung up on, but then again, the above article and all the comments below show that I'm not the only one who likes having

Okay, yeah. To clarify: King Kong and Chucky are both mind-blowing, though, in the sense that if they truly existed it would force you to re-think a lot of what you knew to be true about the world. Jaws is just…kind of big.

Ha! I'm curious, though—if you care to elaborate, I'd love to hear why you consider it one. My argument is that the shark is just a force of nature—not evil, not supernatural, not even mind-blowingly gigantic. In my opinion, it's no more a horror movie than, say, Twister. (I also don't think JAWS is particularly

I consider it a horror movie, although I can appreciate the debate. What burns ME up, though, is when people insist JAWS is a horror movie.

What's the popular opinion on Vanessa Bayer? Is she weirdly hot, or just hot-hot?

I was always freaked out by the "Yip yip" aliens on Sesame Street. The worst part was that they'd appear outside that farmhouse window and then just…beam themselves inside. The home-invasion aspect of that really struck a chord and terrified young me.

Also the Sorcerer's Apprentice! Those mindless brooms, tossing bucket after bucket of water on Mickey, were like a bunch of zombies set out to drown him.

Oh yeah! And silence; lots of silence. As a kid, you haven't been conditioned yet to take Snoopy's experience as anything other than literal, so it's just disorienting up until the moment where he winds up crashing the Halloween party.

Yeah, my girlfriend pointed out last night that the bit about the muffins she sent Reese Witherspoon implies that she straight up attempted MURDER. That's fairly dark, even given the cartoonish reality of this show.

Yeah, Gonzo really ought to function on-air as Up Late With Miss Piggy's Larry "Bud" Melman or something.

I have this problem, on a smaller scale, with a lot of the current Muppet stuff. It seems that the current performers got cast on the strength of their ability to impersonate the original voices, rather than their comic timing/acting/enunciation skills.

Whenever Piggy says something selfish or clueless or self-involved on the show, though, the soundtrack always plays a big laugh coming from the studio audience. So I'd guess the idea is supposed to be that people watching Up Late enjoy her over-the-top persona, and that Kermit is actually being overly
