Scheissekuchen, lit. "shitcakes".

Actually, the Danes call them "Viennese bread". Whereas in Vienna they call them "Hungarian rolls". Likewise, in Hungary they call them "Turkish Titty Twisters". Can you guess what the Turks call them? That's right: "Bulgarian Cheese Fetishists". And of course you know that in Bulgaria they are simply known as…

Also his Yelp review of the restaurant he and Dowd had dinner at last night.

A friend saw Ray Stevenson in a gym and shyly went up to him, not wanting to bother a celebrity, but had to tell Stevenson how much he liked Rome. Stevenson happily gave him a salute and a "Hail Caesar!" as a reply. By all accounts a very nice guy.

Don't forget uncle Peter and aunt Glenda!

In 1994, I went to London for the first time, and visited the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street. (I wasn't a fan, it was just the first touristy thing that crossed my path.) As I was looking around inside this reproduction of his house, I started thinking, "Ohhhh… so Sherlock Holmes was a real person? And…

If you had to limit it to original screenplays and non-animated films, there are indeed very few besides those mentioned. But add to the list:
San Andreas
White House Down
After Earth
The Other Guys
Knight and Day

See Qiu Ju. It's kind of exhausting to watch - its storyline is repetitive because it's about bureaucracy - but stay with it: the ending will hit you hard.

I loved Zhang Yimou. From Red Sorghum in 1987 through Curse of the Golden Flower in 2006, I've seen almost all his films (except Keep Cool and Operation Cougar), and not one was a stinker, though I certainly liked some better than others.

Nobody's yet mentioned that in just four days, Elizabeth will become England's longest-reigning monarch ever, finally besting that fat bitch Victoria.

Ha ha, she's Burl!

It's not Dynasty without Joan Collins.

I read this as a kid, and all I remember is someone threatening to castrate Plissken and saying, "No more hot peter!" and I had no idea what that meant. I figured it was a sex act, like a Dirty Sanchez.

Just my opinion, man, but I was bored by L'Avventura. I found it overlong. I should probably revisit it, as Blow-Up is one of my favorite films, Red Desert is amazing, and I liked The Passenger very much as well.

What? I just walked in LA this evening. (Jocks in cars threw trash at me.)

Compendia, not compendiums.

***SPOILER ALERT*** It's actually "American Woman", because Les likes American women. Twist: He's Canadian.
