I go to Shakespeare in the Park every year, and every year I hope will be the year he stars in it. He did it back in 2001, so it seemed possible. The fact that that will never happen now makes me so damn sad.

There was a Kitten Bowl too! They had a player named Feline Manning.

Times New Roman Polanski?

I have the feeling that the comments section will eventually cause a red fog to descend upon my head, so all I'm going to say is this: I believe this young woman thinks something happened to her, and whether it really happened or was something Farrow planted in her head (which seems just a tad far-fetched, considering…

He was my favorite. Really gonna miss him.

Breathe easy, there's a fan page for her on Facebook, and people have commented as recently as December mentioning seeing her perform on a cruise ship. It may not be Sarah Silverman-level of fame, but at least she's still getting work.

Also, it's redundant.

And oddly enough, both movies had really excellent soundtracks.

I realize that it was somewhat in keeping with the character, but holy shit she was irritating in Tank Girl.

Fair enough! I'll get used to it.

David Sedaris is a delight to meet in person. He'll pretty much talk about anything with people (which is why you can end up standing in line for as long as two hours to get a book signed, which I did last year). Unfortunately, by the time it was my turn, I kind of choked a bit and just blurted out something about how…

I was in front of Jonathan Pryce in line at a Chelsea grocery store. He noticed the copy of Time Out New York I was buying, then grabbed a copy for himself to buy. I count that as having "a moment" with a celebrity.

I turned 19 halfway through '91, so yeah, hand me my walker, sonny.

I love the one about the clothing store sales clerk. "That would look great on." "On what? On fire?"

I spotted Tom Hanks in the audience at Shakespeare in the Park a couple years ago. Not gonna lie, the urge to just start waving and yelling "Tom, I love you!!!" was almost overwhelming.

The Charles was so great, that and the Senator are definitely among the few things I miss about living in the Baltimore area. I saw The Blair Witch Project at the Charles before the hype started.

It's an entertaining essay, but, yeah, it doesn't really fit the tone of the AV Club I know and love. Oh well, change sucks sometimes.

Sit down, son, I need to explain something to you.

I live in New York, and while I don't see famous people a lot, it does happen from time to time, and never once have I approached any of them. Mostly it's because they're just out doing their own thing (Steve Buscemi was reading the newspaper on the subway, Adrien Brody was having dinner with who I assume was his…

Wow, teenage Sporks watched these and the other 80s HBO comedy specials obsessively. I can't honestly say if, Louis CK and Patton Oswalt (and a few others) aside, stand-up is better now than it was then.
