…he sits there alone, an abject figure.

I liked how McKean completely anticipated the possible line of questioning and said something like "well, I can't sit here and trash him for you."

Little known fact, there: Cliff's mom sticks around to, er, help Connery.

The Catherine O'Hara interview I did find a bit frustrating.  It would have benefited from more research and firmer guidance from Marc about topics, I think, or just by his sticking with any one topic longer and plumbing its depths more.  Even though O'Hara's charm came through, the interview felt a bit skimming the…

Man, it was something.  I think Stanton's monosyllabic answers about his own career just trumped Elliot Gould's from the Carolla show, where the listener/viewer could at least sense Gould's awareness of doing a schtick.

Re: Christopher Guest, I appreciated McKean's deft handling of Marc's inquiries into the dry, serious-seeming Guest — whom, it turns out, McKean describes as his best friend.   Notably, we learn of Guest's fondness for the fart joke.

"There's no kinescopes of that stuff.  I would love to have all that.  Great boners happened!" - Dick Van Dyke on shooting the live "CBS Morning Show," Kevin Pollak's Chat Show

"Murray, Present"

In Michael C. Hall's conversation on Kevin Pollak Chat Show, he said he shot down an idea from the writer's room that Louis would commit a crime(s) imitative of Dexter, because Hall was protective of the singularity of his character.  Another character killing in the same style as Dexter was not cool with him.  (Heh,…

The mp3 file was run on VLC, which then crashed. Then the file was successfully run in iTunes.   (Apple forever, is what I'm saying here.)

Finishing at 9:10pm, Amelie.avi was the last recorded bit of activity on the computer of Amanda Knox's boyfriend the night that her roommate, Meredith Kercher, was killed.  The boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, offered the press and police changing stories — at first asserting Amanda was with him at his apartment for the…

Is this your tribute to The Californians?

Alas, I cannot @avclub-1bfb50f8428a734a72e2ace7d8b3166e:disqus .  I was preparing for college.

Byron Allen really gets the band to unleash, huh.

"What is your glitch, huh?":  '80s Precedents

To end that, watch Strange Wilderness.  Also with Joe Don Baker.

Still waiting for the ending credits scene where Joe Don gets his credit card bill, loaded up with purchases at the gas station convenience mart.  Comes to over 300 bucks for the month.  That's a lot of packs of cigarettes and conversations.  What he'll never understand is that you can't put a price on impromptu group…

Or an encounter between '60s-era Dean Martin and an attention seeker. (Lewis)

Don't feel too bad — her character's surname is Long.

This scene is mentioned up-page, too.   Frankly I'd never noticed this curious background guy gesturing, despite having watched the movie several times.  There are a couple points during the conversation where Rita smiles, suppressing laughter, but it's not made clear whether she's reacting to the mockery of "Morrie"…
