This last week in Sillstaw’s entertainment:

Today in "what the IMDb thinks they're best known for":
Elias Koteas: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Peter Berg: Producer, Lone Survivor
John Barrowman: Arrow
Lisa Loeb: Actress, Legally Blonde

Going to see "Land of Mine" this weekend. I was debating between that and "Kong: Skull Island," because I have eclectic tastes, I guess; ended up deciding that next week looks pretty barren, and "Kong" has a better chance of actually staying around for a second week around here.

Have you tried Pinterest?

"Walker told me I have AIDS."

Somebody needs to make a track sampling Alex Trebek reading the lyrics to "I'll Make Love to You" or "No Scrubs."

Today in "what the IMDb thinks they're best known for":
Olivia Wilde: Rush
Thomas Middleditch: The Wolf of Wall Street
Robin Thicke: Soundtrack, Despicable Me
Osama bin Laden: Self, Knowledge is for Acting Upon: The Manhattan Raid
Rick Rubin: Soundtrack, Kung Fu Panda 2

Man, how bad was Katherine Heigl where she's no longer welcome, but Washington can still get a guest role?

I'd love to see a parody of superhero movies. A good one, not the typical "instantly dated reference" thing that "Superhero Movie" looked to be.

Today in "what the IMDb thinks they're best known for":
Kato Kaelin: Self, Oh No Its Kato!
Bobby Fischer: Self, Searching for Bobby Fischer

Plays & Playwrights: In 1969 this "Waiting for Godot" playwright won the Nobel Prize for Literature
Summing Up Oscar's Best Picture: George VI stammers, Britain clamors
Special Months: Black History Month is

J6:
Jazz musician Jon Batiste leads the band on this man's late night talk show
A: Who is Stephen Colbert?

I'm kind of in an ongoing thing with my oldest brother.

Today in "what the IMDb thinks they're best known for":
Milana Vayntrub: Ghostbusters
Micky Dolenz: Circus Boy

So you know how I said last week I'd stop updating you on my online dating unless something actually happened? Funny how that works.

Shawn reminded me of Weird Karen from "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."

J6:
Jess Day, a teacher who moves in with 3 guys
A: What is "New Girl?"

Good to hear. I'm debating whether to see that or "Land of Mine" this weekend (yes, my tastes are weird).

My sister-in-law: "Ernie looks like a cross between Adam and Jamie on 'Mythbusters.'"
