I am inconsolable after reading Mona Simpson’s beautiful eulogy for her brother. It’s one of the most moving things I’ve ever read.
Wow.

So I'm doing stand-up this Friday.
You’d never know it from my infrequent posts here, but I’m actually pretty fucking funny.

A brief chat about movies
Alex (Co-worker): Will Smith's filming a movie here. "Black Man," it's called.
Me: "Men In Black III." Idiot.

The Tumblr iPhone app is pretty cool
I haven’t really checked it out at length until today. Maybe now I’ll start posting more frequently.
At the very least, it’s now easier for me to see what everyone else is saying.
On paper, Glee is a great idea. In reality, though, it’s un-fucking-watchable.

Auto Tune has just been upgraded to a full time...
Congratulations, bro. It’s been a long time coming. You are the glue that holds the show together.
Never heard of Girl Talk until an hour ago.
That iTrans Subway app is great.
But has anyone noticed it does not seem to apply to the A train?
Wait for an uptown A train on 42nd Street and what will you see? Seven E trains. Who the fuck takes the E? Nobody I know.

Alison Brie talks about bad sex →
You must read this article. Alison Brie is now even more awesome, if that’s possible.
There was a "Star Wars" documentary on the History...
It was about philosophy and myths and how they affected George Lucas. Good stuff. It got me to thinking about the craptacular Return of the Jedi. That movie taught me a few things, though. So here we go.
Things I Learned from Return of the Jedi
1. Comic relief doesn’t need to be funny (See: Jabba’s muppet sidekick, C3P0, Ewoks, Han Solo’s dialogue).
2. The best way out of a...

I may be spending too much time on the XBOX.
Playing “Halo: Reach” the other night and at one point I pressed the D pad to call for my horse.
He never arrived.
I’ve been working with a voice over teacher the past few weeks. Things are going very well. I pretty much know just how to approach each page of copy. It’s fun. And challenging.
A lifetime of watching television is paying off handsomely.

One of the many reasons that Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie” video is so great is the fact Megan Fox does not speak.
Filming a movie in Connecticut
Took the 5:35 am train from Grand Central to get here. Then a cab from the train station. So what do I find? No craft services. And I have to drink TAP water? What the fuck? How dare you people. I don’t think you know who I think I am.
Get me some soy milk for my coffee or I’m walking.

Fuzzy math
I rewatched The Dark Knight last week and noticed a little problem. After Harvey Dent falls to his death, Commissioner Gordon says, “Five dead. Including two cops.” Dent killed Wuertz (the white haired cop), Maroni’s driver, and Maroni, presumably. That’s three. He did not kill Ramirez, the female cop. That’s only because she won the coin toss. If Gordon is including...

“The Visitor” may be the single best episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine ever. And it’s one of the best episodes of any Trek series.
Am I right?
I may be biased, as I just re-watched it for the first time since it aired back in 1995. Also, my father was still alive back then.
Just auditioned for an gig via Skype. I wasn't...

Meet Joe Black was on Cinemax earlier today. Of course I watched the whole fucking thing.
Originally sat through it at the theater (Ziegfeld). But that was only to see the Phantom Menace teaser trailer, which was shown before AND after the feature.
I quite like the movie, actually. Although Claire Forlani spends the first two thirds of the movie looking as if she’s going to cry. Then...
Someone just reblogged a Julia Allison photo and...

Some former cast members of Lost (and the major recurring players as well) are listed in the opening credits as regulars, not as guest stars. That’s a nice tribute to the actors. Well done, Damon and Carlton.

Let's hope Megan Fox will now go away.
Tonight’s episode of Fringe was a lot like “Unification, Part 1.” Leonard Nimoy gets special billing but doesn’t appear until the very end.
It was great, though.
I love you, Sarah Walker.

So a lot of female former cast members have to returned to Saturday Night Live tonight. That’s cool.
But the real question is - Does Betty Fucking White really need backup?

But we got Scarlett Johansson instead. And she’s, really… well, she’s got big boobs. Can you imagine a Black Widow spinoff film? No, you can’t. Justin Hammer, on the other hand. That would be awesome.
There’s a version of 12 Angry Men on Showtime right now. It’s from 1997. Here’s who’s in the cast - George C. Scott, Jack Lemmon, Ossie Davis, Hume Cronyn, Armin Mueller-Stahl, James Gandolfini, Edward James Olmos, William Peterson and … Tony Danza.
Now I’m angry.

Everybody Hates Frasier
So I went to the “La Cage Aux Folles” opening night party on Sunday. There was a disappointing lack of drag queens. Four or five, maybe? Plenty of gays, though. It was fun. I was not at all surprised to hear that Kelsey Grammer is a complete prick. Everyone involved with the show hates him. He’s a total pain in the ass. But then, even some of the ensemble members are...
My poor cat is trying to lick his balls, but he no longer has them. And to add insult to injury, he now has to wear a cone around his neck for a week. But he paid me back by shitting or vomiting (or both) just outside his litter box.
Little bastard.

There was a commercial during last night’s Lost for some Tom Cruise movie called Knight and Day. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a movie more.
So I guess he’s going to start appearing on talk shows again, saying how much he loves his “wife” and that he does ALL his own stunts.
FAIL.
