They filmed in Canada (you probably knew that). Minnesota might be just as bad.

Lester's going away for seven years.

Very much agreed. I had forgotten Roger Deakins was the DP and then there was the gorgeous shot of M looking out the window after the cold open. I'm really not a fan of the Bond movies or character but this was a fantastic film. Hearing Judy Dench say "Go ahead—eject me. See if I care." I can now die happy.

Joel Surnow was the right wing one. I don't know if he's still on the show. I don't know Robert Cochran's politics. Howard Gordon has said he's a Democrat.

If Heaven exists, what would you say to God at the Pearly Gates?
Nothing. I'd punch him in the nose and call him a dick.

Off topic, but I saw Skyfall the other night. They Batmanized Bond. There were a few direct references to the Nolan films.

He did look like a fatter David Cameron. Instead of the President, I want Jack to face Question Time. They yell at him; he yells right back.

I was wondering why they used an Eastern European instead of a British tart—when in London, use all parts of the city, like the Native Americans use all parts of the animal—and then I was pleased they did! The ending has to be a direct echo to the Red Wedding scene, with the mother-child now doing the killing. I was

It was a My Three Dads joke. Finally, that show is getting the recognition it deserves, after decades out of pop culture consciousness.

It's not his hobby, it's his job! His poor, poor job. Actually I think this season has been good but I still wouldn't like to write hundreds of words on it. One reason I can't be a critic—besides the whole lack of talent in reading and writing thing—is because I hate summarizing plots. We've all seen the episode, so

I'm surprised Jean claimed the episode as coincidence. They took the plot of the movie and just reversed the roles. Spoilers of the movie, which you don't want to know because it's pleasurably surprising and changes the movie in a significant way. Instead of the Lego world being the refuge of a creative kid who took

Not knowing her other work, I had that problem with Room. It seemed to be the Life is Beautiful of the girl-in-dungeon genre. The story, about a child's awakening consciousness as he's exposed to the wider world, didn't need the offensive hook. She could have set it on an island. But by making the story about the kid

I could have gone to Daily Motion and saved myself the rest of the two hours.

My family and I walked into Ararat expecting a Schindler's List type treatment of the Armenian Genocide. What we got was a little more prickly—and interesting. I'd have to see the movie again to see whether it succeeded in what it was trying to attempt—which seemed to be a postmodern examination of what truth is. For

From the ten minutes I heard, I don't think he knows she's half black. Or he's in denial.

Do you mean your Jewy, Jewy day? (Favorite bit from a Lewis Black show.)

I haven't done Yahoo yet; I get my "ashamed to be human" feeling from the good people at YouTube.

A very young and attractive woman with Jerry Buss I can understand, because reportedly he was a great guy. But this man has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, physically or personality wise. Gold digging isn't supposed to be this blatant.

As I've already expressed my liking for Mrs. Doubtfire and Seth Myers today, why not go for the lame-to-you hat trick and say I like Coldplay too? Suck it, everyone!

If you liked his Weekend Update jokes, you'll like his monologue on the show. I did and so I do. But stick around when he's telling a funny thing that happened to him story after, at his desk. Those are the most charming and winning parts of the show.
