Unfortunately, it also gives the producers a chance to pause an entire challenge so that Jeff can ask how X feels about knocking Y off of a floating Pog using a pillow.

You're right, it's so, so unnerving, especially if it comes on when you're driving late at night.

"Glory Days" is a fun karaoke number.

Is "not having Storm in the movie at all" an option? Because I vote that! It's cute that they throw her one "man, we really need some fog right now" scene, but other than that, she serves no purpose. I suppose technically the screenwriter could actually build her as a character, but we all know that's not going to…

I didn't even manage a tailspin. Crashed straight into the ground the minute I saw the category. I was just happy that two of them got it wrong. The worst feeling is when you have no clue on FJ and then Alex starts reading everybody's (correct) answers and basically says, "Of course you got that right it's obvious…

I don't think I've ever watched a full episode of 'MASH,' but isn't Hawkeye-as-a-character-on-MASH just one of those things that people know regardless of their actual knowledge of the show?

1. Songs of Love and Hate
2. Songs From a Room
3. Songs of Leonard Cohen

Yes! That book is one of the great pieces of American fiction (quasi-fiction?) and one of the best books ever written about war.

If they were smart and serious about a universe of continuity or whatever the fuck, they would make the entire season a lead-in to the 'Avengers' sequel.

Ditto on Streisand. My backup guess was Randy Newman, but I didn't think he had sold enough records to fit the clue.

I saw a replica 'Jurassic Park' land cruiser driving through the parking lot of a mall in China. It's weird enough to see one of those in the wild, even more weird to see one halfway around the world. In conclusion, I freaked the fuck out.

There's a picture of me as a kid that shows me proudly holding up a 'Dinosaurs of the Land, Sea and Air' book. Every time I see it, I just want to reach into that picture and tear the book from my hands before throwing it down on the ground and stamping out its blatant lies.

As far as Modern King goes, I thought the novel was quite good, until it reached the home stretch and King started trying to explain a bunch of crap. He's a really good novelist when it comes to putting us in a setting and an equally mediocre one at figuring out how to end things.

That was a really fun game. The back and forth battle between Matthew and Bill was entertaining, and while I sort of thought Stephanie might be dead (like literally dead) during DJ because she didn't even seem to be making an attempt to buzz in, she came alive just when she needed to and nailed that DD to make FJ a…

I expect Carolina to absolutely stomp Pittsburgh. The Steelers blew that huge lead to the Browns (who, despite the win over the Saints, are not a good team) before barely pulling out the victory, then didn't show up at all against the Ravens in what's supposed to be a "rivalry game." I just don't think the Steelers…

I expect this to turn into a solid series. I'm sure the early episodes will be a bit too heavy with wink-wink fan service cameos and references, but unlike most series, it isn't going to have to worry about holding the viewer's hand a ton early on. Everybody's already at least vaguely familiar with the characters and…

They're remaking 'Ben-Hur'? Fuck society.

The Rams and the Washington team have somehow managed to fuck up that mega-trade. Somebody was supposed to win that thing. Now RG3 is dead and it's extremely possible that he never fulfills that incredible potential. And the Rams continue to be the Rams. Granted, RG3 is young and some of the Rams' guys still have…

First episode I did well. I had no feel whatsoever for the second episode, though, and was only able to get questions here and there. At least part of it was the fact that the contestants were screwing up a lot at the beginning (either with wrong answers or non-answers) and there didn't seem to be a flow. I feel like…

I felt stupid for not getting it. I just blanked on it being part of his inaugural address.
