Shows currently better than Homeland that aren’t reviewed (and don’t even seem to exist) here: Corporate, Another Period, Baskets, Counterpart...

Well, I clued you in when I typed “Jay Leno”...

I agree, naturally. But it was mostly a comment on how the standards for journalism have fallen here. When you lift your whole piece from an article published on TMZ without ever questioning the source, it may be time to consider another job.

The actual story is that there has been a settlement. Everything else looks like a Pimp Mama Kris pitch that TMZ was happy to republish.

Ron Perlman, Jimmy Smits and Adam Arkin did manage to elevate the material.

He was a pointless guest star in SoA, for a plot that went nowhere remotely interesting. At the time of the fifth season, FX pushed Kurt Sutter for more guest stars, then the season was the one where the show became really huge, which is why the memo for the last two seasons was to prepare extra-long cuts that would…

The English Wikipedia entry, linked in the original article, makes a good job of explaining the various puns. Most of them revolve about pompe/pomper.

United Artists didn’t choose him to replace George Lazenby. Bond producers Harry Saltzman and Albert Cubby Broccoli hired him. The boss of United Artists, however, asked for Connery to return, whatever the costs would be, because he didn’t want the audience to be confused by so many changes for the face of the…

For me, it’s Muscles from Brussels to Paris all the way.

I guess it’s even more trivial than just manipulation. He wasn’t always able to articulate precisely what he wanted or what he didn’t like (not just acting, it could be something technical, a particular framing, etc.), and he waited for something to happen.

Sorry to ask the obvious question, but how much of Judy Greer’s part was cut this time?

He was the drummer on “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)”, which makes for another Jeff Bridges connection.

When he would be asked to play fuckin’ loud, he would do it.

Oh, yeah, it was supposed to be in the pilot, and this would have pictured Audrey and Shadow as totally different characters.
