unless, of course, you count CRUISE as a super-hero, as many do.

Killers beat it to the boxoffice by 2 weeks, looks like.

This is the film Cruise did instead of "Salt" a very '90s style action thriller (that is also better than it's boxoffice results would indicate).

i saw this set live when they toured. i still found it hilarious on netflix - yes, some of the material is familiar if you listen to Sklarbro Country, but the execution is tight and energetic. The only part that really drags is the "punching up my daughter's jokes" , but even that has a nice payoff.

yeah, they really cherished that character. Smigel obviously didn't, as he made a TV Funhouse about how methodlical that character (among others) was. It was the only time that character was in a funny sketch

the only good thing to come of Shannon's "I'm 50" or "I love it!" characters was a brilliant TV Funhouse animated short where "Lorne" explains the rules of comedy to someone. The "Rules of 7" show how 7 "I love it!"s (with the kicks) were perfect, but one more would cause the character to be tossed on the scrap heap.

really, if they wanna push the envelope, and go back to that Craig Kilborn-level of acidity: Anthony Jeselnik. He would definitely eschew traditional interviews and it would be a must-watch monologue when big news goes down.

just as long as it's not Chris Hardwicke. I don't mind him, but he's EVERYWHERE right now.

i find it almost impossible to believe that Terry Crews was NOT "Terry Tate, Office Linebacker".

definitely MilliWays - that was my first choice!

is this a movie version of that Katy Perry song? Kinda like Love Potion No. 9, but catchier?

this episode is WAAAAAY funnier than Basic Story. I don't get all the hate in the review. And the funny parts are HILARIOUS. "And that's canon!"

We need to start the #RaulEsparzaEmmy campaign NOW

hey, everyone worrying that Colbert w/o his persona won't be funny: remember him from TDS before "The Report"? He was merely pompous, not arch-conservative. And he was HILARIOUS; also, see Strangers with Candy (all 3 season on Hulu). He can't fail!

Ferguson has stated time and again he doesn't want the big chair, because of the pressures and limitations that come with it. He really enjoys doing his weird little thing at the later slot. I'd be APPALLED if he took over for Dave.

but that fight was kind of a farce. it was just brute strength and martial arts. it was the clutter in the apartment, the furniture, and her camera gear. it was somewhat implausible (the guy had a submachine gun, to start with), but not "middle-aged President beats professional mercenary in a fight to the death"…

ah, yes. but also: when they're devising the war, and the enemy - it's not a traditional war, it's just a few extremists with a suitcase bomb. And why? "Because they hate our way of life! They hate our freedom!" And when DeNiro has to talk down Wm H Macy's character - "if there's no war, what good are you?" …

Out of Sight (in the trunk, i think?)

Suggestion for Friday: Wag the Dog. It's a farce, but it's SOOO cogent and prophetic: it basically presages the War on Terror and all the rationales behind it. It got a lot of press at the time for the Lewinsky parallels, but you gotta rewatch it and note all the tools Bush would use later. It's freaky!

This movie FANTASTIC, and still available on Amzon Prime. Cliff Robertson is sporting a Quint-in-Jaws moustache, and the immortal Max Von Sydow (Swedish Jesus) steals the movie as the prototypical "just business" hitman.
