Interview: David Zucker, legendary spoof comedy writer/director
Posted by: Matthew Ardill • November 10, 2025 @ 3:22pm
David Zucker has written and directed some of the biggest comedies of all time, including Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
Let me just preface this by saying that this episode put me in a bad mood, and I blame Ben Mulroney. I don't know what's up with him this season, but he's extra irritating, instead of the usual annoying-but-he's-ours endearing type of irritating. He's all pause-y and twitchy and stumbly and blinky and... distracted.
Emmy nominations: Mad Men, 30 Rock, and John Adams lead the pack

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominess for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards on Thursday morning. Critically-acclaimed darling Mad Men, airing on cable channel AMC, took in 16 nominations including Best Drama and Lead Actor in a Drama Series (star Jon Hamm).
The Basic:
From the time Batman Begins ends to where The Dark Knight starts, you see Gotham on its way out of the gutter. Batman's presence has made police more confident and criminals more cowardly. Gotham has a new beacon of hope in District Attorney, Harvey Dent. Though things are looking up, you need a spark to start a fire.
Hey, Project Runway's back tonight! And it's in an earlier timeslot. Don't fret if you miss the first airing, though. It'll be on again, I'm pretty sure. Also, Project Runway Australia can be found v. v. easily at Youtube, for the mo'. They're only two episodes in, so you can catch up in less than two hours, if you can't get enough of PR.
Album Review: John Mellencamp - Life, Death, Love and Freedom
Posted by: Ariana • July 16, 2008 @ 1:28am
The prolific John Mellencamp returns with his 20th studio album as a man with a lot on his mind and a heavy heart. Fortunately for all of us the world over with heavy hearts, there is such a thing as blues music.
Here, the former Mr. Cougar has mastered all manner of blues styles, from Southern blues, to folky blues, to blues rock.
Who's it going to be, folks? With a Top 10 consisting of a mere two singers I don't care for, my chances of a happy ending tonight are limited.
It's David Bowie night here in Top-10-Land, and Zack's in silver eyeliner... so you can guess how this is going to go. The set's been redesigned as well.
For diehard fans of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, Italian singer/songwriter Elisa is nothing new – the title track of her North American release, Dancing, was featured prominently on the third season's Top 20 episode in a Mia Michaels-choreographed piece.
