Extreme example: Roman Polanski.

Adult chimpanzees are about the same weight as adult humans but, unlike humans, are almost all muscle. Most of the chimps used in movies and TV shows are juveniles, because eventually people figured out it was a bad idea to shove an angry full-grown ape into a suit and expose him to the enraging presence of Today

Watching it from the other side of the 2000s, "Billy Madison" is exactly how I picture George W. Bush's life.

He gets older, man, they stay the same.

If I were an actor with free time, I'd definitely do crazy millionaires' stupid pet projects. It looks so fun, and they probably throw in bus fare.

Hey, he might not be her professor. Depending on her age when the "friendship" started, he could be her high-school teacher.

George Lucas now owns the Tik-Tok costume (he and the director are friends) and has him displayed at Skywalker Ranch. Here I am with him because I am awesome: http://www.skin-horse.com/i…

Every Oscar-winning film is just three sequels away from introducing a sex robot.

The first (and only, because I hated it) time I saw that movie, I thought the twist was going to be that Mark was in love with Peter all along. That would at least have been interesting, not to mention plausible since Peter is Chiwetel Ejiofor. But nope, he's just your garden-variety stalker.

The Drew Carey episode where they break into DrugCo is my favorite half hour of stupid humor.

Darkplace needs a Criterion edition.

The last season of "My Name Is Earl" included a "King of Kong" joke, and for that I will always be grateful.

I wish it sounded more like a real small-town radio broadcast, and the trying-to-be-spooky voiceover ruins that for me. Oddly, I've heard the show's creator speak, and he has the perfect voice for the part. He sounds like the tech at the local PBS affiliate who gets roped into doing PSAs at the three in the morning,

Whoa, are you a David Mamet character? This is like the ending of Oleanna.

What to Expect When You're Fictionally Expecting:

The filmmakers stopped contracting with Henson Studios. Once you've lost Henson as your puppet source, there's nowhere to go but down.

If anything, the concept gets more misogynistic and creepy in the later books. There's one where Bink agrees to join some random quest and comments that he's happy to skip town because Chameleon is in her ugly-and-smart phase, and he'll be back just in time for hot-and-mentally-retarded mode.

He's crazy good in his X-File.
