Well, then, never mind.

You HAVE to watch it. If you don't watch it you won't realize how subpar the American version will be, it will be a horrible retread and it won't have RUTH WILSON, who will undoubtedly reach Judi Dench or Helen Mirren levels of greatness. Plus Idris Elba is the only Luther possible.

Do people (celebrities) actually ask to be "memed" now? Smacks of desperation borne of one's relevance declining at the velocity of falling off a high cliff.

This seems like as good a point as any to insert my irrelevant gripe about SOA - as a former resident of that area, I hate that they so obviously film this in Santa Clarita, a bit north of LA. There are few palm trees and fewer mountain ranges in the Central Valley. It's not as though the area is thousands of miles…

I was wondering what I was going to make for dinner - now I know. Thanks, kind stranger!

I'm certain this is a not-coincidental-at-all part of the anti-Hillary campaign.

It was the same in that other poster from a week or so ago where she was standing there with one arm raised. Ugggh. All she'd have to do in this one is arch her back a bit and it would look 1000 times better. This is going to be such a disaster, unless she's just really bad at being still - I doubt it, though. I think…

In every one of these photos "Peter" seems to have absolutely no awareness of how she looks - and I mean in her poses. There's no strength in any of her limbs or her torso; she seems to just be hanging from a wire with a bent leg, not even trying to look like she's flying or doing anything other than simply hanging…

I agree with you completely about Jay Leno, but Ellen used to be one of my favorite comedians - I haven't seen her doing standup for at least 10 years, but I thought she was hilarious. (Not as funny as Paula Poundstone, though, but Paula is not what I'd describe as endearing :) ) But I do agree with you again about…

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I watched the video up top and when the Jessica Lange started to sing, all I could think of was this, and I was waiting for her to lose her "r's"

writing her essay with a Black & Mild dipped in foundation

He's not supposed to be singularly funny. I think his talent (and success) come from being so engaging and "genuinely" good-natured that he gets all sorts of people to do all sorts of gags/skits/songs with him that end up being funny. He's a talk show host - and he's very good at his job. His goofiness is not too…

Is this the filet mig-non guy?

I'll admit, I would be excited to see Hiddleston cast as a shoe horn in a Thom McAn commercial,

Thank you for that last bit. "Now wtf am I supposed to say to you, stranger who just interrupted me in the middle of my shopping/walking/reading/thought process?" Plus I'm horrible at small talk in the first place, so it makes it worse - they interrupted me, I felt pressured to interact, I failed to meet their…

Aaaah - last I dealt with CMG was in 2008. Surprised they gave "her" up, though - or was that the subject of the lawsuit?

CMG Worldwide owns Marilyn Monroe's rights of publicity, along with those of HUNDREDS of other famous celebrities. Certainly the owner of her estate gets money, but CMG is the one making bank of licensing her image. http://www.cmgworldwide.com/

A company called CMG Worldwide - a company I used to work for actually had MM & James Dean dealings with them. They own the rights of publicity for literally hundreds of celebrities, and they don't fuck around. At all.

Hollywood threw him into romcoms (much like they did with Paul Newman early in his career)because he's good looking, but I think it's unfair to use that or his (admittedly odd) personality quirks as ammunition against his acting ability. He might be weird, but he can act. (I actually think he is "today's Paul Newman"…

I haven't watched Jeopardy in literally decades - are all the answers product placement now?
