My laptop decided to go on the fritz this morning, about halfway thought writing what was to be today's entry on A MarkInTexas Made-For-TV Christmas. Hopefully, I can figure out what's wrong with it, and get today's entry written in time for tomorrow's WOT, along with watching and writing up what's supposed to be…

And hence the sarcasm of my opening words.

I'm still pretty sure that Sony or someone else will give The Interview an official release sometime in 2015. There's just too much money and too much interest in the film to just let it sit on a shelf for all eternity, and Sony is going to be under a lot of pressure to either release or sell it. Given that the…

I attended the Cotton Bowl at JerryWorld at the beginning of this year (my first time there. I don't make nearly enough money to go see the Cowboys in person), and had to keep forcing myself to watch the field instead of the mega-jumbotron that was right in front of my eyes.

That's the position I always played. It was very boring. Of course, I was very bad, so there's a reason I played that position.

It's probably all your fault you lost that one game.

To be fair, I do feel kind of bad for the union reps whose job it is to go out there and explain that it's OK that the cop shot the unarmed black kid because cops have to make split-second, life-or-death decisions, and since no one else can understand that pressure, we should give all cops a free pass forever and ever…

So people still think that Sony destroyed their own computer network, released their own sensitive financial information and embarrassing e-mails, publicized their employee's private information, and got the highest levels of the US government involved for a Seth Rogan vehicle?

And Neil DeGrasse Tyson! The man may be a highly respected, famous scientist, but you never know when one of them is going to attack you for no reason!

It's a shame you didn't have the oppertunity to invite him to drop by the Savage Love message boards, so he could better know an Idiotking (and a Dikachu).

After seeing Sunset Blvd., my college roommate and I (both musical theater aficionados) had lots of fun making fun of the overwrought title song. "Sunset Boulevard! Twisting Boulevard!"

For whatever reason, in 6th grade choir we sang "Love Changes Everything", which I think is Aspects of Love's big dramatic number. While I can no longer remember the lyrics, I can still hum it if you need me to.

So does this mean that Murray will also play Little John in Disney's upcoming Robin Hood reboot? And will he sing "The Phony King of England"?

The Christmas TV wasteland officially arrives about 7-10 days before Christmas. From now until after New Year's, the only non-reruns on primetime will be holiday specials, short-term reality shows, sports, and burn-offs. If you're a non-reality show, and you have a new episode scheduled between December 18 and…

A MarkInTexas Made-For-TV Christmas

A MarkInTexas Made-For-TV Christmas

AV Club comments turned into a Simpsons-quoting site so gradually I didn't even notice!

I know I can't wait for Dexter: The Lumberjack Years to begin, where he soothes his dark passenger by cutting down evil trees.

Hi, I'm Rob Lowe and I have Direct TV. And I'm hardcore Republican Rob Lowe and I have cable.

Yeah…I'm guessing that Sony is going to have a steep uphill climb to convince their insurers that they can't either release the film in some form or sell it to someone who could.
