Every week on David Sanborn’s (and briefly, Jools Holland’s) “Night Music” there would be SOMETHING that would send me to Tower Records the next day, but I think my absolute favorite was Rufus Thomas tearing through “Walking The Dog” as if he’d never done it before.

I would have liked it better if they hadn’t cut to an extreme closeup of Rudy Giuliani on the line “but the fighter still remains.”

“Hell, nobody wants to see this ‘Florida Project’ movie anyway, so we’ll let ‘em in for a buck seventy-five.” Variety: “FLOPRO Tanks With Meager Per-Screen Average.”

“I’m not going to turn into the Sixteenth Chapel.” - J. Bieber to D. Letterman.

Whew! I posted this yesterday and got no reaction until now. Thanks! I'm NOT crazy!

I don't know how to post a photo here, but did anyone notice the "anarchy" symbol made out of twigs in the final shot of Jimmy lying on the ground, counting the $700?

Reading the number of comments about the sequels' "shaky-cam" style, I've got to stand up for it. I'm an editor myself, and I normally despise "cuisinart" editing, mostly because of its disregard for geography. At its worst and most extreme, it goes for visceral adrenaline rather than coherence. But the Greengrass…

Yeah, "Die Another Day" completely blew its promising opening with the invisible car and the oh-come-ON hang-gliding over the collapsing glacier. But I'd argue that the swordfight in the middle of the movie was one of the best action scenes in ANY Bond movie. Not only is it beautifully staged and choreographed, but…

As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to make a "fictionalized version of 'Marwencol,'" Carell is damn near perfect casting.

Well, if this is becoming the Recap Of The Season thread, my vote for musical performance of the year has to go to Sturgill Simpson. I'd never heard of him, and learned that he was a "country" musician… and then he did THAT. (Then I got his album, and it was a "country" album!) Runner-up: LCD Soundsystem's "Call…

The only time to my recollection that this changed was the year Amy Poehler started the season as a featured player and was promoted to full cast member by January. And, duh.

I really thought when Johnson called her onstage and was handed his jacket he was going to drape it over her. But then, I also really thought that Bobby and Vanessa were going to get a curtain-call shoutout (and she was way in the back, too).

There were quite a few in the OJ Simpson series as well. I didn't know you could do that on basic cable until I heard them there.

Mary McDonnell is so always-welcome that the reviewer at Vulture used the exact same phrase. Called her "the widow Goldfarb" too.

May be, but this is the first time that "Update Leslie" and "Kyle Leslie" have been in the same sketch. (Actually, "Kyle Leslie" sounds like a third-tier sports anchor in, say, Grand Rapids.)

During the Kyle-and-Leslie sketch, I kept thinking, "Didn't anyone watch last week's show, when she told us how many times she got laid in Jamaica?" And I kept waiting for the reference, which completely took me out of the story.

I haven't listened to it, but I've heard that his duet with Barbra Streisand on her new album is one of the highlights.

Since it was only one line, why couldn't Melissa Villasenor be the woman who came into the garage to pick up her car? I also felt that Kyle Mooney should have come out, heartbroken, while Leslie Jones is swooning about Jamaica. If you're going for a running joke, why not pay it off?

Steve Martin, hosting that year's Oscars: "I didn't see any tigers or dragons in that movie. And then I realized it was because they were crouching and hidden."

I wondered why they brought out actual backup singers behind the Cubs - why didn't five cast members do it?
