Still not quite sure why so many branded Funny People an unmitigated disaster. Sure, it wasn't as big of a box-office performer as your standard Apatow or Sandler joint, but it was hardly a huge bomb ( $51M ). Plus, the reviews were fairly solid across the board (68% positive on RT ). Something tells me that this is a film that people will find on DVD and VOD, and it will eventually become a basic-cable...

Update: So, apparently the Muppets have done Bohemian Rhapsody before after all. They sang it in 2005 on the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (thanks to [...]

Still got drumming on my mind. See last weeks post. Got a kick out of this vid of Jerry Lewis in a drum duel with Buddy Rich. Loved the huge eclectic collection of drums in Jerry's 'set'. It made me feel like: But then the nasty harpies started messing with my head. "Whahahahaha. What female drummers besides babies banging pots and pans have you ever heard of?" Well... Harpies: "Oh yeah?...
