Ted Leo and St. Vincent for their respective artists…
…could actually be inspired as fuck. New York City you say, though? Well that's nice. Maybe they'll put a DVD out of the show for the rest of us.

listserv!

Most of Robert Carlyle's success can be attributed to getting roles Tim Roth has turned down.

The moon exploding scene in the Time Machine remake always scared the ever-living fuck out of me. IMAGINE BEING THERE.

I always imagined his character to be about 20 years older, but he totally sold me on his interpretation and now I can't envision him, or Molly Parker's character, any other way.

That next John Hillcoat movie he's talking about…
…"The Wettest County in the World", sounds really awesome. It's gonna have Shia Lebouf in it…but it's also going to have Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy in it. So maybe they together with Pearce and Hillcoat can keep most of the "NOs" from coming out of Lebouf's mouth.

The Grey Ghost: Saved by YouTube!
If the Grey Ghost was afraid of being remembered these days he'd only have to plug a few search terms into YouTube to put his mind at ease.

But isn't pandering to our half-remembered childhood nostalgias the entire point of Ask the A.V. Club? How would I ever have found out that Frederik Pohl wrote the short story I was thinking of without Tasha's help!?

That's where I deviate with you Blaffair, because I don't think most people laugh at Tim and Eric because it's hip, they laugh because there's a something they bring to that form of comedy makes it funny. And not all of their shit works. I'd even say half of it flops. This would have been one of the bits that did flop.

I'm normally a pretty stout Kristen Wiig apologist…
…mostly out of a masochistic need to be the devil's advocate, but I'll be damned if I lift a finger to defend that facial cream / rockabilly sketch. Pure, uncut drivel. A grand affirmation for any die-hard Wiig hater. She can and has done better than that.

"Oh no! We've had a prison break!"

When I loved Prison Break I LOVED Prison Break…
…and then they killed Sara, and I HATED the show.

The rare Newswire comments section that goes on for longer than 2 pages…
…I knew AV Clubbers had strong opinions on a variety of topics, but whoever thought one of those things would be "Phil Collins?" WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT US?!

But everyone knows this is Phil Collins' finest moment:

"Land of Confusion" owns and maybe I'll go too far by backing "Jesus He Knows Me", but dammit, here I am doing it just the same.

I get a boner. But I do not jerk off. I am a gentleman.

"Ned! We meant well, and everyone here tried their best…"
"Well my family and I can't live in good intentions, Marge! Oh, your family's out of control, but we can't blame you, because you have gooooooooood intentions!"

No new Thursday night NBC comedy until the 17th! FUCKING SHIT FUCK.

YES.

John Malkovich for Childan!
