It is always too bad when a likable player loses after three games - she almost certainly will not be seen again. (Also true of Susan last week.) A couple years ago another player I liked, Catherine Hardee, stumbled into the tournament by being offered one of the last-ever ties on her fourth day, but that is no more.

My bringing it up was not meant very seriously - I am not going to waste any outrage on behalf of Lindsay Lohan - but I believe the actual headline was the even worse "Working with Lindsay Lohan made her want to quit acting [!]" After that Lohan was barely mentioned and Pill's complaints had nothing to do with her. …

I had no idea that this was two hours. I would have thought half an hour, one hour tops.

I remember ads for it, but no more.

At least Mike Myers actually was at fault here, unlike poor libeled (for once) Lindsay Lohan last time. I actually clicked on the article just to make sure that this was the case!

I think "Pixar" was being contrasted with "in-house." Objection! - the parenthetical aside was in the wrong spot.

I wonder if Lani made a failed attempt at the subtitle that was cut. It seemed strange for Alex to bring it up out of nowhere. But if she did say extra wrong words, could she have been ruled wrong? Maybe Alex just wanted to tease a film buff.

I wonder if it was Susan's birthday on the day of taping or the day of airing.

You called it.

Well, he may be, even if he never appeared in a book (or at least not in a real book - I think there was a TV tie-in series at one point). He is certainly near the top.

It was Wendy Hiller in the Lumet/Finney version.

Did he tone down his message somewhat in later years? The ones that I sometimes find cast aside on a bench at the bus terminal seem more positive and less relentlessly negative than the ones I see quoted on the Internet. There was one about a dying baseball player converted by his gardener (in Spanish - El Super…

Since hard-boiled/American/male mystery authors and more old-fashioned/British/female mystery authors tend to attract different people, I could maybe buy that someone had never heard of one or the other of the two. But both?

They never should have taken the Brewers out of the AL - but at the time interleague play was new and the idea of an interleague game every day (necessary when the leagues have an odd number) was considered a less drastic change than moving one team to a new league.

In 2004 there must have been some centenarians or near-centenarians in New England who had memories of 1918. You could have been only (relatively speaking) 92 and possibly have some vague memories from age six.

They have more lost television to begin with, though.

We learned on Jeopardy! that Letters from Iwo Jima is perhaps not very well-known.

It was Ray Charles. I kind of remember that clue myself (and I think I also remember it from his obituary a few years earlier).

At least the other one had the outline of a plot. What the heck will happen in this movie?

I wonder if the high school production I saw twenty years ago cut those lines. I would think I would remember them.
