...That's the most mesmerizing chicken preparation ever. I know it's probably been said before, but Christopher Walken is the best part of everything.

Another fad that needs to die is the kids who wear their pants down around their knees. It's fucking stupid looking!

Send them to the prison for some "scared straight" stuff and they'll find out where that "look" originated.

I like the way CW's aluminum pan looks like it's been used seven times.

Another fad that needs to re-die: Stirrup pants! I saw them at Old Navy last week and ran out of the store screaming.

I like my President--he's funny.

Sorry, I feel the need to chime in every time someone mentions that McDonalds coffee thing.

The coffee that that woman was served was actually at illegally hot temperatures, and served in a thin styrofoam cup.

She wasn't driving, she was a passenger, and when the driver handed her the coffee and she gripped it, the styrofoam collapsed inward, spilling the contents on her lap.

She suffered SECOND and THIRD degree burns to her inner thighs and genitals.

She asked only that McDonalds help pay for the medical costs involved in treating the burns and they refused. She was convinced by a lawyer to sue.

McDonalds responded by starting a media campaign against this woman--a regular citizen like you and me with no access to large sums of money or high-powered lawyers--decrying her as the Demon of A Litigious Society. She received death threats and had to move because of all the abuse she took from people who thought she was trying to get a free ride for spilling hot coffee on herself.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just feel bad that that woman still gets maligned to this day, just so McDonalds didn't have to shell out a few hundred bucks for medical bills.

Oh, and guess what? They did, in fact, wind up having to change their coffee cups and the temperature it was served at. Because it was unsafe!

Okay, I'll admit I know dick all about cooking meat, but wouldn't throwing a metric ton of salt on a bird and then putting it in the oven for an hour dry it out completely? Gag . . .

Hey listen, I like seeing President Obama on t.v. just as much as anyone else. But that guy is on t.v. more than Law & Order.

Must remember to read all the headlines before responding.

William Finn is the perfect man to adapt Little Miss Sunshine into a musical. If anyone can do it and do it well, it's him.

Still a shitty choice for a musical.

That's... that's actually a fair and valid point about Tom Cruise, BSlim.

I know that your average movie star is a lot less tall than the film directors make them out to be, but Jesus Christ, Tom Cruise, I think I've coughed up balls of phlegm larger than him today.

Robert, you're needed in the Jennifer's Body kerfuffle thread, STAT.

Bitch, please. Some idiot laughed when you fell down the steps, and you think that makes you funny?

That isn't to say that you're not dead inside. That part's probably true.

Now I'm craving McDonalds coffee for some reason.
Landon, your coffee commercial immediately made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSW1m83GqzY
easily one of the greatest commercials ever.

Robert's comment makes perfect sense if you read the Rope of Silicon piece:

Now that anyone with a blog who sees movies can call themselves a critic, should the term be amended to “blogger” or “industry columnist?” Or is that just the opinion of some snooty-ass film critic? (Rope of Silicon)

Aw, RAT, you adorable little troll, you. So obvious! So trite!

Run along, you little scamp.

What the fuck? Sometimes, I think Christopher Walken is one of the funniest men working Hollywood today. I mean, he's conscious of the fact he's a paycheck whore, he's a great ballroom dancer (see the Fatboy Slim music video with him if you haven't already) and he's constantly turning up in odd places like this video specifically making fun of another celebrity. Look at him; Walken knows exactly who he's making fun of. Genius.

* Why aren't Crocs...

Stupid spelling

Lindsay - I can honestly say that I have never heard the real story behind that lawsuit. Thank you for sharing... I feel a little ashamed that I'd always assumed the woman was just an idiot who was looking for a payout.

That Christopher Walken video was made a few years ago. I believe he was making it as a demo for a cooking show that he was planning....which makes it even better.

So I just watched that whole Christopher Walken video and just kept thinking why the video was set to Queens of the Stoneage's version of "White Wedding"

You may be wanting to say "But ashes, that song appeared nowhere in the video?"

And I will say "No, no it did not"

Yeah, it was playing in another window. I was so fucking confused as to the correlation between Mr. Walken and the Queens of the Stoneage or chicken and a white wedding.

I think this may be my cue to quit drinking, or at least to not start drinking before Noon.

muchsarcasm I've heard both that the cup collapsed when she grabbed it, and that it spilled over when she went to take the top off to add milk and sugar.

Regardless of which is true, I think the point is the coffee was at a temperature high enough to cause serious burns on contact, and the woman was not looking for a free ride.

Also, McDonalds is evil.

Sugar Daddies AND Sugar Babies? Sign me up, Spambot! Also, teach me fancy stars!

s. pisaster, thanks for the commercial link. I now have "Happy Morning!" stuck in my brain. If I had filmed that thing, bearded dude would have flung the boiling hot contents of the coffee pot in the golden-glowy people's faces, and the dog would have mauled them as they writhed in agony on the floor. I am not a morning person.

David Lynch, I adore you.

Christopher Walken, I love that despite being rich (I would assume from your many roles), your kitchen looks very similar to mine.

And I know we shouldn't feed the trolls, but what exactly was Obama being deceitful about on Letterman? Being black, or letting his kids goof off during the summer?

C'mon, DeadBessie, when Obama was on Letterman, he never ONCE mentioned all those homeless kittens he strangled OR the fact that he obtains sexual pleasure from rising unemployment figures! How dishonest can you be?
