Who cares what the genre/sensibility/scene a song comes from if it's got a great tune?

The question: Sex blimps or sex holes?

"Oh, the humanity!"

Parks and Rec's masterful blending of hilarious, well-defined characters, believable relationships, and uncloying heart is reminding me of the late great Mary Tyler Moore Show…who didn't cry when Mary tearfully makes the "family" speech in the series finale?

Donna encouraged Anne to make out with the Jersey Shore-ish dude in the medical tent at the Harvest Festival, right?

It's pretty good, and he certainly milks that number

Tom Selleck turned up on Rockford a few times playing an annoyingly perfect rival PI. Led to his role as Magnum.

Right, Pearce as Cyclops, Crowe as Wolverine…they totally had that dynamic in LA Confidential.

Strathairn as Mastermind! Spacey as Donald Pierce!

X-Men fantasy casting
After seeing LA Confidential, I thought Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe would be excellent choices for Cyclops and Wolverine.
