Is Senator Stern…
…Garry Shandling? He has aged well.

Please…please…PLEASE?
Stop with the Billy Bob handjobs. The guy is brutally overrated (except for maybe Sling Blade), and his bad/good movie ratio is gawdawful. He's been mailing it in for a long time now (including the awful Monster's Ball), and his recent string of cashed paychecks is embarrassing. The fact he is

Mike B, I think you have the pantheon of dwarven actors correct.

Nonono…Vacancy was awesome. I refuse to hear otherwise.

Many people should have been punched in the face in that episode. Just one would have been very satisfying.

Jason Sensation, I agree with your take on Sue's corner. I think it would be more appropriate (and more fun) to have Sue's "public" persona be conversely friendly and empathetic. Then she could be totally batshit-crazy to everyone at the school and it would make more sense. Maybe the show is making a statement on how

I blame a) Scarlett Johansen sucking ass in every movie since then and b) Sofia Coppola proving herself to be a barely competent filmmaker.

WAIT - meant UNDERRATED. Jeezus.

Sunshine is a spectacularly overrated movie. Awesome.

Watching the first half of District 9, I actually thought it was going to be the greatest sci-fi movie I had ever seen. Then it turned into an action flick. For shame.

Lovecraft is being snide. Please tell me you are being snide.

OhNoNotAgain, if you are truly married you are not getting laid.

OTP, glad to see someone else thought of Indian Summer immediately after seeing this preview. For some reason I always think of Elizabeth Perkins. I think I had some kind of infatuation with her back in the day.

Is this a remake of Indian Summer?
In an unrelated note, why does Chris Rock continue to act? I tried to play soccer when I was younger, and not only did I suck but my team always lost. I took that as a hint.

Who would have thought
Glee was growing tiresome for me, until I realized that the most interesting characters had become Puck, Kurt, and his father. I was expecting the show to ride the Quinn/Finn plot ad nauseum, but I am pleasantly surprised. I am so sick of them, although Quinn the actress is doing the best with

The twist was you thought the two men were gaming her, but really Chad was gaming Howard the entire time. Jeez HDB, the column is not that complicated - maybe read it more slowly.

"I've never liked a LaBute film since…"
Scott Tobias, Master of the Understatement. Your Friends & Neighbors and The Shape of Things were bad, tacky movies. Nurse Betty had its moments, but thank GOD I gave up on him before The Wicker Man. That is, unless you count the YouTube videos. Lakeview Terrace

SHE LIKE MY BIG 10-INCH…RECORD.

Excuse me and my soapbox
What is really lame about these genius prognosticators is no one ever keeps track of what they predicted yet never fucking happened. "Oh he predicted the real estate collapse five years ago!" - yeah but he also thought we'd be hiding in our cellars fighting off marauding packs of hobos with

A perspective of a midlife crisis? I think that is a stretch with Make Believe. Don't make me bring up "Beverly Hills" or "Perfect Situation" again, two of the most immature songs I have ever heard.
