A Super “Office” party and a remarkable glimpse of Che

Congratulations to the Grammys, which although it did manage to appoint a slew of tired music once again did at least recognize what in my book are the album and song of the year: Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” (which I’m listening to right now) and MIA’s “Paper Planes,” respectively (actually, MIA is nominated for “record of the year” but not “song of the year,” a distinction I’m certain I’ll never understand.)

In TV news, Bryan Fuller’s return to “Heroes” has now been confirmed for episode 20 of that season, making the already convinced imminent death of “Pushing Daisies” now official. A way beyond sad day indeed, particularly with the creepy-but-cool developments of last night’s episode. As for “Heroes” itself, I lost interest last year next tried to come back again, but the show is just BORING. I’m certain Bryan Fuller will help, but for me it’s certainly too little too late.

In much better news, “The Office” will be getting the coveted post-Super Bowl hour, and will produce the most of it with what will be a hopefully just way wrong roast of Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. Though there will be several celebrity drop-ins, the roast (requested by Michael, of course), will thankfully be conducted by his semiloyal employees.

And in tonight’s episode, Oscar (Oscar Nunez) informs Michael that the office must spend a $4,300 surplus or lose it in next year’s budget. When Michael opens up the floor for suggestions, factions break out and officemates square off against one another in order to get what they want.

Even better, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) takes Angela (Angela Kinsey) and poor Andy (Ed Helms) to Schrute Farms to work on their wedding plans (I can’t wait to see that for a season finale!)

The end of the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” season just leaves a black gap in the blackest part of my sense of humor, so here’s hoping “The Office” can continue to bring the funny.

And speaking of funny, “Funny or Die” has put together a musical video retort to California’s Prop 8 starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Allison Janney and a bunch of other stars (and even a closing number from Barney!) It’s predictably preachy, but additionally indeed pretty friggin funny, so I decided to include it here for your Thursday enjoyment.

And finally, since that is nominally supposed to be about movies, here’s easily the coolest thing I could find that dawn. At some point, the first half of Steven Soderbergh’s truly ambitious Che Guevara epic starring Benicio Del Toro was to be known as “Guerilla,” but it now seems that for America at least they’ve dumbed it down to “Che Part One.” Thanks for clearing that up, guys. Either way, you can tell from that trailer that Soderbergh has something rather remarkable here, and I suspect you’ll definitely be hearing Del Toro’s name right next to Sean Penn’s for “Milk” on Oscar night. Enjoy, and have a perfectly passable Thursday. Peace out.
