Well, there is an “Arrested Development” movie in the works, but …
“Well, whether there was a drinking game where one had to drink every instance a character cursed thereupon the player of that game would be dead in ten minutes. Seriously. Don’t play that game.” - Judd Apatow, about the amount of cursing in his new movie, “Funny People”I love that quote, and it’s…
Karl Malden’s final role
I haven’t had anything to say about the rather remarkable number of celebrities who have died in the past week, mostly considering I figure I really have nothing to profound to add about any of them.I loved Michael Jackson’s music as much as anyone before he turned into a caricature of himself (thou…
