Chronologically speaking, the last scene in the movie sees Butch and Fabienne drive away on a motorcycle. The very first sound heard at the start of the movie is the same motorcycle’s engine.
Whenever Vincent Vega goes to the bathroom, something bad happens: He emerges at Mia Wallace’s house to find her overdosing, comes out at the restaurant to find a robbery unfolding and is shot dead by Butch after using his bathroom. The moral is…holding it in saves lives?

I think it’s fair to say that when most people think of Jester Hairston today they usually think of his role as Rolly Forbes, the funny, sharp tongued old man on the NBC sitcom Amen with Sherman Hensley, back during the late 80’s to early 90’s.But Hairston, who passed away in 2000 at the remarkable age of 99, led a much more interesting and complex life. Not only was he an actor, starting his film career back in 1936 with hundreds of movies and TV performances, including Amos and Andy, In the Heat of the Night and dozens of musical shorts made during the 40’s and 50’s, Hairston was perhaps more well known as a composer (with some over 300 gospel songs to his credit), conductor,...

The Wasteland:
Television is a gold goose that lays scrambled eggs;
and it is futile and probably fatal to beat it for not laying caviar.
Lee Loevinger
When people argue over the quality of television programming, both sides — it’s addictive crap v. underappreciated populist art — seem to forget one of the essentials about commercial TV. By definition, it is not a public service. It is not commercial TV’s job to enlighten, inform, educate, elevate, inspire, or offer insight. Frankly, it’s not even commercial TV’s job to entertain. Bottom line: its purpose is simply to deliver as many sets of eyes to advertisers as possible. As it happens, it tends to do this by offering various forms of entertainment, and occasionally by offering content that does enlighten, inform, etc., but a cynic would make the point that if TV could do the same job televising fish aimlessly swimming around an aquarium,...

In another incarnation, Flight might be a ridiculous movie; but it isn't because Denzel is in it. John Patterson pays tribute
Flight is one of those movies that makes you wonder if it really deserves the great leading performance that holds it together. As it degenerates from its thrilling opening air crash into a rehab-friendly, cod-religious sobriety tract, one remembers this is a Robert Zemeckis movie, and he is prone to this sort of thing.
Which isn't always a bad thing. There's a shocking opening sequence with Denzel Washington cavorting in a hotel bed with a naked woman (Nadine Velazquez of My Name Is Earl), chugging booze and fighting on the phone with his ex-wife; then leaning in to the camera to snort up a fat rail of cocaine, his face grotesquely distorted in close-up. Cut to the elegant hotel corridor, Gimme Shelter screaming on the soundtrack, and Denzel emerges,...

“Live television? Who cares?” Kenneth cares! And so do I. Tina Fey & Co. totally delivered on their second installment of the 30 Rock live show, and it featured special guests galore: Amy Poehler, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Fallon, Donald Glover, Fred Armisen, and even Sir Paul McCartney. You know, because anything can happen on live TV! But on to the plot: In ”Live From Studio 6H” Jack broke the news to Liz that it was no longer financially practical to continue shooting Tgs live. Instead, they’d shoot the entire season of the show in two weeks. You know, like Wheel of Fortune or Fox News.

NBC’s 30 Rock went live this Thursday night, and the product was decidedly Saturday Night Live-lier than the sitcom’s first time flying without a net.
The framework for this live outing had Jack, Liz and 10 other characters locked in Tracy’s dressing room to (ostensibly) debate, 12 Angry Men-style, the pros and cons of Tgs no longer broadcasting live. But it was mainly Kenneth doing the talking, as he harkened back to the network’s golden age of live programs such as The Lovebirds (aka a Honeymooners rip-off), a Dean Martin-esque variety hour and a ’60s-era romp not unlike Laugh-In.

Another day, another "Glee"-related outrage.
This time, IrishCentral.com columnist Patrick Roberts is up in arms over what he considers to be the ridiculous Irish stereotypes portrayed in "Pot O' Gold," in which "Glee Project" winner Damian McGinty dressed solely in green, sang a song made famous by Kermit the Frog and pretended to be a leprechaun.
"Producer Ryan Murphy, with all that Irish heritage should be ashamed of himself," Roberts writes. "It was 'Amos and Andy' except for an Irish character."
We have one response: Welcome to the "Guys, That's Not an Accurate Portrayal of my Homeland!" club, comprised of about 80 percent of my fellow Garden State natives fed up with trying to explain how the meatheads on "Jersey Shore" make up just a small percentage of our fair state's population and besides, they're not even from New Jersey anyway.
Anyone who watches TV and thinks...

Herman Cain seems to have no interested in ending his newly-minted feud with Jon Stewart. On The O'Reilly Factor tonight, Cain came out swinging against Stewart again-- who initially courted Cain's wrath by making fun of his claim that bill longer than 3 pages would be vetoed automatically-- explicitly stating that, although Stewart's "Amos and Andy" voice was offensive to him, he wasn't playing the race card. But Stewart had a problem, he asserted, with him being a "black conservative."...
