The last time I saw someone this excited about something with 50-50 odds was when I chose the fish option at my cousin's wedding and it ended up being lobster pie. I cried real garlic butter tears.

Oh, there was a way for this to get worse.

I don't know about anybody else but I regularly reply to work emails from clients with detailed fan fiction about how glorious our lovemaking will be.

From my understanding, none of the actors got points on this. Linklater did take a big salary cut in return for part ownership, which may work out well for him considering the film's success.

Since the budget per year was in the $200,000-$250,000 range, I doubt anyone was paid all that much. Plus, the actors were working without a contract so it's possible that salaries increased over time but, again, not by much.

The man was about 475 years old (plus or minus 100 years) so he was probably remembering something that happened during the march to Valley Forge.

Please.

This reminds me of something that happened during the 10 minutes I was a lawyer.

What a ridiculous concept. Everyone knows that aluminum foil has the highest fat burning rate per square inch. It's like no one cares about science anymore.

You've been avoiding Vegas for 60 years? But, I spoke to Tom Jones and he said all is forgiven.

Nope, the reverse. I think they've loosened up those restrictions in recent years but the ban originated with Fidel.

Classic cars in Cuba are quite prevalent. Castro banned new cars from being imported in the early '60s so that's why you'll see a lot of exquisitely maintained antique cars there. I am not a car person but seeing all those beautiful cars up close and personal nearly made me one.

While there is a bit of disappointment in these parts about the lack of Selma nominations, I think a lot of blame needs to be laid at the feet of Paramount. They ran a terrible campaign and this is the result. They focused on sending screeners only to Academy voters, thus cutting themselves from any awards momentum…

What an odd title for an article. And, rather sad, kind of like giving yourself a nickname or having a show on TVLand.

I love The Room in all of its wond-awful glory.

Whoever okayed that Bruce Jenner cover should go fuck themselves.

And, somewhere in L.A., within the deep, dark heart of the E! offices, Fashion Police Junior was born.

They've installed fake cameras in front of their house to deter any more vandalism.

[A]nd Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling were practically soulmates for a while...

Concur. It was the only way I was able to watch a second of the Twilight movies. Plus, they introduced me to the miracle that is Birdemic so those guys have my heart forever.
