I'm assuming that its existence has something to do with Vin Diesel realizing he hasn't had a non-F&F hit since The Pacifier, so why not revive what was supposed to be his custom-designed franchise?

God help me, I actually thought Die Another Day was pretty good back when I saw it in 2002. Then I watched it again a few years ago, and…wow. So much wow. But hey, I'm willing to drive the invisible car since it got us Casino Royale and Skyfall.

Actually, Hathaway would be a good choice for the female lead, Christine, an innocent heiress that both the male con artists target who turns out to be a master con artist herself.

So the mini-Trumps are now in charge, but they're both still "Executive Vice Presidents"?

Nothing against Hathaway, but couldn't we get a movie version of the musical instead? If Ryan Reynolds can sing, he'd make a good Freddy.

The fact that four years ago doesn't seem like all that much time to me gives me comfort that this next four years will also feel like it's going by fast.

I don't think my IBS has caused me to spend two hours total at work, but I have had days when I worry that they'll be sending a search party out for me, I've been gone so long.

You'd love the men's room at my office then. We share the facilities with another office suite, and more than once, I've seen them continue their phone calls while standing at the urinals. Occasionally, I've heard one-sided conversations coming out of the stalls. Seriously…put them on hold for a couple minutes, or

I ended up watching a good chunk of Trollhunters on Netflix last night. My boyfriend was watching it, and I came in about six episodes in. I wasn't paying much attention until I realized that one of the trolls sounded suspiciously like Sideshow Bob. I'm now wanting to go back and watch the entire series in proper

Oh, please. I'm sorry, but whining about Saturday Night Live and Meryl Streep is so, so, so much more important than having someone overseeing our nation's nuclear plants.

Pretty much.

Except for Sophia, they all had jobs pretty much all the way through the show. Rose worked as a grief counselor, and then got a job at a TV station, Blanche worked for a museum, and Dorothy was a teacher. Then, everyone but Dorothy started working at a hotel, but we choose to ignore that period.

Bowie and Rickman and, as of today, Glenn Frey. Either 2017 isn't nearly as bloodthirsty as 2016 was, or it's luring all of us into a false sense of security, or it's just waiting for Trump to take care of the whole death to everyone thing.

Bleck…I even remember seeing the Hoffman/Freeman/Russo film in the theater. I didn't like it much, as I recall.

The Silence of the Lambs (though the actual closing lines were "Dr. Lecter! Dr. Lecter!)
I really should know this one.
Big Trouble in Little China
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Open City and Shoeshine are two of them

Little Miss Sunshine, Titanic, Forrest Gump

Of the 8 movies he's directed, 5 of them are about sports and two of them are cop movies. The IMDB description of his next movie (his first feature film in 14 years) sounds nutty, as Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman apparently have to play golf to avoid a mob hit.

A lot of cool people have a birthday today, including Benjamin Franklin, James Earl Jones, Muhammad Ali, and Michelle Obama. Unfortunately, today is also the birthday of Al Capone, Maury Povich, Steve Harvey, and Kid Rock.

Yep, I was thinking of that very strip. I'm a fan of Shortpacked and Dumbing of Age, and I found that strip online and found it so hysterical that I ended up reading the entire SP archive up to that point and kept reading from there.

Up next on the CW: a terrified young boy tries to solve a series of murders, while uncovering clues to solve his own biggest mystery—who murdered him, on Casper.
