Good looking, can cook . . . you're actually quite the catch, chef!

On the other hand, you still get to look like Billy Zane.

Counterthread: What movie did you go into expecting cheese that unexpectedly worked like gangbusters?

I feel lousy for anyone in that situation. Fortune and glory are well and good, but how unsatisfying a life must that be?

You're probably right, but people thought Casablanca was nothing special for decades. Ditto The Magnificent Ambersons. I'm just saying I'd really like to have the chance to judge for myself. More Chaney is more Chaney.

I've been thinking some version of this for a little while now. Trump's
already lost. I'm not scared of him. I'm scared of the people whose
takeaway from this whole fiasco is going to be "that ALMOST worked, if
we can just get somebody that's willing to take a little bit of
direction, we've got this thing in the…

I heard that Hemsworth, after talking about how he really wasn't an improv guy, proceeded to ad-lib the section about Kevin's dog. I really want that to be true.

Yeah, for all the pieces written with a "mother of mercy is this the end of the Republican Party?" tone, I really think most (R) voters will fall right back in line once Trump is in the rear view, writing him off as either a one-time aberration or an example of someone who could have been great if only The Man had let…

I was driving home from work today and turned on NPR. Talia Schlanger was interviewing Adam Cohen and playing three tracks off of the album. Windows down, driving west on 76, the volume up high as the choir kicks in on You Want It Darker. From voice to turns of phrase, I have no difficulty believing he's Leonard…

Back when Much Ado About Nothing was going on, Whedon mentioned that Tudyk had taken the part of Julius Caesar when they read that play and was apparently awesome and now I want to see that.

Is it just me, or was he, like, surprisingly handsome in his younger days?

Re-Animator?

I've been not-really joking for years about wanting to cast him as a goofy stoner English Lit prof whose tenured friends drag him along on a road trip, just so we'd get to see that near-maniacal energy channeled into something relaxed and silly.

Here's to your fuck.

Jeffrey Combs said something a few years back about being considered for the role of Wormtongue and finally either bowing out or being passed over because, while he can do a credible English accent, he evidently can't do an English accent that sounds credible next to Christopher Lee et al.

He seems like a rather unique dude in real life, too.

Yeah, I figured he was a Good Eats fan when he nominated Ina Garten for "The Alton" back in '08 "For being on the Food Network and yet, somehow, managing not to suck."

I kind of want the first bit and the last bit. Willing to skip most of the heroin addiction.

When there's more than one other guy, it ceases to be a fight and becomes a beating. You don't win a beating. You survive it.

The Eternal gives me goosebumps, but it's in an "I fear for my immortal soul" kind of way.
