I have a hockey stick in every room of my apartment that would make a handy zombie-clubbing weapon. No cast-iron skillet, but my 12" nonstick pan would probably be good for cracking open a few skulls before the handle weld failed. If the attack happens in my living room I've got a papasan chair that I could use as a big shield/scoop to push a zombie out my front windows for a 20' drop onto concrete. My coat hook is actually a throwing star, so I could resort to that in a moment of desperation but I wouldn't bet much on my chances with it. There's also a prominently displayed decoy sledgehammer that might buy me a moment's surprise against a living intruder when he finds out it's made of painted PVC pipe and styrofoam instead of wood and steel. (Let me tell you, people on the sidewalks in Las Vegas will give you a LOT of elbow room while carrying that thing, even on Halloween!)

On that score I'm going to use the strategy Molly Ringwald used to defend her lunch in The Breakfast Club - I won't have that much competition for raw fish and kelp!

Maybe they're reporting from a multiplex where James Franco is grabbing people off the street and pushing them into the theater?

Ugh, it would have been better if Marvel could have just negotiated the loan of Ian McKellen for a few scenes.

Surely she comes equipped with enough manic pixie dust to make airline tickets unnecessary?

I was kind of scratching my head at John being able to drive off Lamashtu by shivving her with a pen knife. I mean, one might think an immortal queen of Hell who's been around since the dawn of humanity would be harder to get the better of than your average stoolie in Cell Block D. Of course she was also taken in by a chicken squirted full of blood, so maybe she's not on the starting lineup of Team Evil. I'm now envisioning her being continually thwarted with cabbage patch dolls and sacks of flour swaddled up in blankets.

Maybe they're hoping the Parents Television Council will notice all the demons and smoking and woman pursuing a liberal arts education instead of homemaking and raise the show's profile with a boycott?

Laugh all you want, I still love hearing Judy sing it.

For me it's the dissonance of Kirk Cameron growing up to be a smug and hateful religious zealot and making me want to reach into the screen and punch him out.

Ob/Gyn seems a tailor-made specialty for a doctor who's going to commit the sort of crimes Cosby himself is accused of, so maybe appropriate in his case... Law & Order: SVU uses Hudson University frequently, doesn't it?

I liked the earlier one where he was practicing his British accent and she asked why he was cast to play a Portuguese guy.

The Ultimate Universe version of Spider-Man in recent years has been Miles Morales, a black character of Hispanic descent. This is reason #1 they should cast him. Hell, have Bond look at the camera during the opening credits, blow a kiss, and say "This one's for you, Rush!" to maximize the chances of causing a stroke!

I thought he was memorable too, but for horrible over-acting by an actor whose work I usually enjoy. I hope it was the director's fault that Pace shouted every line for the cheap seats.

I thought she looked really familiar too and then realized she has an eerie resemblance to Atticus Shaffer from The Middle. Emily Blunt and James Corden wowed me, but I wasn't terribly impressed by the other actors. Including Streep.

I saw a trailer for Mortdecai the other day and at first thought that it looked like an oddly undignified role for Michael Fassbender to take on. Then he turned around, I realized it was Johnny Depp, and yelled "Oh HELL no!"

I vaguely remember a storyline saying that Todd was bisexual on Scrubs, but I don't think they actually followed up on that revelation.

Has anyone else seen the ads for this new Rainn Wilson TV show, Backstrom? When I first saw the ad I thought it was a parody show like Sledge Hammer. So much bad in one brief look...

He sorta won Heights too, in that his character was clearly more passionate about Jesse Bradford's than Elizabeth Banks', and that's who he ended up with.

What, he doesn't just start plucking reeds up out of the field and killing orcs by shooting those?

Joss showed that he wasn't entirely opposed to using brief flashbacks to other movies in Avengers, so I suppose it's possible.

Robert Guillaume will always be Benson, too.

I'll only be game for another singing monolog with Kristen if Elton John hosts again and the song is "The Bitch Is Back." I really liked the raccoons sketch and "Whiskers R We," but the rest of the show bounced between uninteresting and actively off-putting to me. It's a shame, I really like Amy Adams and wish she'd been featured more prominently in the other skits.

To be fair, the song lyrics are repetitive enough that if you didn't get sick of it the first time you heard it, it's probably not going to happen. (For the record, I too love the commercial.)

What confuses me is that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing commercials for Old Navy. In addition to being from a rank of celebrities way above those who usually appear in their ads, she's the heiress to a fortune worth billions, so it can't be for the money...

It's all going to be made part of her nest and covered in penguin crap in short order anyway, so I doubt the difference matters much.
