  1. So Hoffman denied the rumors about him in the next batman....

     

     

    “No one has talked to me about it ever — never,” replied Hoffman. “It happened, like, five years ago, too. It was a rumor back then and it’s still a rumor. [laughs] It’s just in the press. It’s funny.”

     

    To further cement this issue, Hoffman added that he’d never met Nolan (”Maybe I did or met him in passing?”), and that his interest in comic book movies is purely on a fan level, and he intended to keep it that way.

     

    “I’m such a fan of those movies,” related Hoffman. “Comic book movies in general I look forward to — I am a real cheerleader for them. I want them to do well because those are terrific stories. As a kid I was a big comic book collector. What [Nolan]’s doing is taking it in a whole other exciting great place. I’m more a fan, so the interest of being in it isn’t that great. It’s more the interest in wanting to see the next one. It’s probably better that way.”

     

    When further pressed for his level of interest if Warner Bros. approached him about the role, Hoffman said, “I don’t know. I think I’m more interested in seeing someone else do it. I don’t know if I’d be a good Penguin to be quite honest. [laughs]”

     

     

    I kinda liked that rumor, even though Penguin is pretty annoying...

  2. So I finally got these on DVD and I am reminded of how utterly GREAT this show is. There's not a single person that doesn't carry his/her weight.

    Gob: I'm an ideas man Michael. I think I proved that with "Fuck Mountain".

     

    Narrator: While on the set of Wrench, Tobias had snuck into the costume closet and disguised himself as an English nanny in an attempt to see his daughter and prove to his wife he had what it took to become a successful actor. It was the exact same plot as Mrs. Doubtfire...

    Tobias Fünke: [after Lindsay answers the door] Why, hellooo. My name is Mrs. Phlyddia Featherbottom, the agency sent me over.

    Lindsay Funke: Uh... I didn't contact any agency.

    Tobias Fünke: But I can cook and clean and even take care of the little ones. In fact, if it comes in handy... I can sing a song or two...

    Narrator: And maybe a little Mary Poppins to throw in the mix...

    Tobias Fünke: A squirt of frosting down the throat helps to take your medication / In the most delicious way...

     

    Buster: Oh, my God, she's after our money.

    Michael: No, we don't have any money.

    Buster: Oh, my God, she's already taken our money.

     

    Michael: Gob, I'm going to need you to sneak Mom out of rehab.

    Gob: Gee, I didn't think the woman I'd be checking out at Spring Break would be Mom.

    Buster: She's better than the whores you date.

    Gob: Don't call my escorts whores.

    Buster: Mom's still got it.

    Gob: I don't date whores.

    Lindsay Funke: Stop it, both of you. This objectification of women has got to stop.

    Michael: It's just Mom and whores.

     

    Lucille: [upon discovering Lupe in bed with Buster]

    [to Lupe]

    Lucille: And yet you're too busy to polish the candlesticks? You're fired.

    Buster: You can't fire me, I'm your son. I'm firing you.

    Lucille: I was firing Lupe.

    Buster: O-oh, that makes more sense.

    There isn't already a thread for this is there? (and indeed there is... I wonder why I couldn't find this earlier??)

  3. In My Life is so one of the most beautiful songs ever... and For No One has a wonderful horn solo. I think a lot of what was so wonderful and revolutionary about the Beatles was George Martin, so here's some love to a great music producer.

     

    And he did it again with Love! Just brilliant... I think he's my favorite Beatle :-D
