Jessie J is massive in the UK, and I think Brits have better taste in disposable pop than the US, anyway.

Am I the only one who thinks neither of the queens in the bottom two last week had a chance? That it had been decided already that both would be dramatically told neither had "survived" the lip-sync? I hate when reality shows insult the audience's intelligence like that. There's enough drama to be had on a show like…

How the fuck did Inger Lorre's "She's Not Your Friend" get overlooked?!?

I always get the Rockford Files theme confused in my head with the intro to The Sweet's "Fox on the Run."

I think the gay-people-realizing-they're-actually-straight-or-bi thing is a wee bit overrepresented in film. I don't think we needed any more of these after Chasing Amy.

Are we still doing this "give everybody from Daily Show and Chelsea Lately their own show" thing? I think we got lucky with the John Oliver and Samantha Bee shows. Law of averages says the rest - including the misbegotten Nikki Glaser snoozefest - just ain't gonna work.

I've always loved Long Kiss Goodnight. Thought it was unfairly maligned.

Oh, I still like pretty much everything pre-Rattle/Hum. I seldom feel the need to listen to it, though.

Thanks to Jason Heller for helping to finally eradicate the last iota of my being that could tolerate U2. I've gone from "best band in the world!" thirty years ago to "I can still stand them, just barely" minutes ago. After considering the above, I am done!

I thought the first one was great, and the next two perfectly watchable. (Because giant, impossibly intricately detailed space robots chucking each other through buildings, duh!) Once they tossed Marky Mark into the mix, though, I stopped tuning in.

One of the many things that makes me uncomfortable about this twat is that his mother died due to complications from unnecessary surgery, then he goes and marries into this family that's all about the unnecessary surgery.

ONJ's voice is spectacular - big range and clear, strong tone. One for the ages.

I imagine Rob Lowe's chainsmoking, randy priest will lose a bit of his charm now that he can't say "fuck" all the time.

I watched the UK version, and it was enjoyable, but kinda lost its urgency toward the end, probably because Mullally's character is absent for a couple episodes — she's just great in this. I'm almost tempted to watch the US version, too, just to see how the tone is altered by the different broadcast standards. The…

"in this case the infertility of the race, unable to produce any new offsprings"

Nice to see someone in entertainment doing it because they like it. Licensing can be such a slimy business. I worked at a studio under a film sales VP who was bitter that he had to handle what he considered to be the lowly business of clip licensing, which works similarly to music licensing. Once, a non-profit wanted…
