I forget if it involved murder or not, but there's a late '90s film starring a "Dawson's Creek" actor that used that device to great effect. I don't want to name it because SPOILER.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck owes her career (and then some) to Rosie O'Donnell. While Joy Behar tried every now and then, Rosie consistently challenged Elisabeth's conservative viewpoints — and it was widely known that Elisabeth would spend mornings in Bill Gedde's office with a stack of blue note cards to go over parroted…

She was trying so hard to be shocking. Remember the interview in "GQ" when she poops with the door open in front of the reporter?

How does she die? I had eyes my closed during that whole scene (there was a gigantic spider and I just couldn't).

I saw it with a friend who called it right when they did the forcefield-tease. I still didn't see it coming, in part because at the time I had ridiculously strong feelings for someone who eerily looked like Thor (BUT ONLY IN THAT MOVIE).

Not really, but it made money because Kevin Williamson wrote it and it was just off the success of "Scream" (in that rare time where if you said a movie was 'from the screenwriter of _____', it would sell it). The author of the original young adult book disowned it.

Art also does a solo tour; I saw him in St. Paul last winter. It's a very loose and intimate show. He'll take requests from fans, to an extent (he said "Fuck no" when someone asked for "Good Witch of the North", then said he would cry if he sang "Sunflowers", but did so anyway).

The most revolutionary thing that Y&R did was let its audience assume that Sheila Carter was dead after the house fire that she tried to kill her mother and Laura Fenmore in (1994) — and resurface on B&B the same season. Despite the familiar relations, it was the first time they ever acknowledged that the Genoa City…

I stayed with my grandparents for a summer because they had a lake home and I was going to theater camp!! (gaaaay). They were in rural Minnesota and their TV only got two channels, so I brought every VHS tape I had. My grandparents were both pleasantly surprised by "Scream". We watched the first hour and then went to…

I'm watching it now and only the screenwriter and production designer seemed to be in on the gay content. They talk to the AD(?) who helped with the shower scene and he says nobody knew there was any gay subtext and they were all either really naive or latently gay themselves.

I remember reading in "Soap Opera Digest" in the "Comings & Going" session that they wanted Winstead to work without a contract so she declined. But she didn't play Kay, she played Jessica (Kay's sister who never did anything).

"How is this WORKING? You're ten years older than me."
"Rich 50 is middle-class 35."

The scene in "Clueless" when Murray is teaching Dionne to drive while Cher is in the backseat realizing Christian is gay and they accidentally end up on the freeway in sheer terror makes me lose it every time.

When Bette Midler was on "Inside the Actors Studio", she said she did this movie (along with "Down and Out in Beverly Hills") because she couldn't get a job. Her husband and father-in-law saw it at the screening and hated it. Danny DeVito called her that night and they both pretended they were okay with it. He called…

I re-read "Charlotte's Web" last year for the first time as an adult, and Charlotte's death is especially jarring in how E.B. White has no desire to make it cutesy or sentimental. As a final jab, he tersely adds "No one was with her when she died." I spent a good five minutes bawling.

Loves it! I always wondered why Michelle Williams never did more comedies. She was hilarious in that film (and went totally against her current TV image at the time, which I loved).

They did this at the MTV Movie Awards because everything nominated for Best Film got spoofed. I'll get the years mixed up, but they also did "Speed" with Shirley Jones driving the Partridge Family Bus, and "Scream" in which they kept all the Drew Barrymore footage but had host Mike Myers be the one on the other line…

The best ones they had were when Dan Parent wrote "Archie & Friends" because they would always do the two-part stories that were a bit wackier (everybody goes to court for some reason! Everyone starts doing sexy modeling for a guy who is supposed to be Calvin Klein!).

"Legally Blonde" was a book first, but you're not wrong.

Did "Outrageous Fortune" do well? I only remember reading that she didn't get along with Bette Midler.
