That was Amy Ryan on “The Office” tonight, right?
So, how much longer until we see other cast members from “The Wire” on “The Office”?

Chastain to star opposite Pitt in 'Tree' -Variety →
This is a rather old link, but it provides the most insight on the new Terrence Malick film, The Tree Of Life thus far. A story about the loss of innocence as seen through the eyes of a child. A fairly vague description, but it’s a Malick film and a Malick film could be a whole other thing once in the editing process. Yet from this fairly vague description, it gives the impression that it may be Malick’s most personal film thus far. Yet the most interesting aspect to me about this film, is that one of the films leads, Brad Pitt appears to be wrapped on the film; in other words, this may be the fastest Malick has made a film since Badlands. Think about for a moment. Let’s say that this film started filming in mid to late February of this year and Pitt was wrapped on the film by once again, let’s say last week/end of April; that means he was on the film for two months or so. Now, this could mean that Pitt’s part isn’t a lead as much as its a fairly large supporting role or Malick is working fast for a change. Yet Malick is extremely notorious for his lengthy shoots. According to legend and lore, on Days Of Heaven, Malick threw out the script mid way, filmed largely at ‘Magic Hour,’ which may last anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours a day and that went on for a year. With The Thin Red Line, Malick filmed for close to 4 months with a cast featuring the ‘who’s who’ of 1997 Hollywood and then unknown Adrien Brody apparently had the film’s biggest role but when all was said and done, he was barely a blimp in the film. And with Malick’s most recent film The New World, they shot nearly million feet of film. So, with the Tree Of Life, I’m left wondering is Malick rushing through the film to beat any potential SAG strike in June or that the story its self is so that it doesn’t require days and days of filming. While not as good of a source as say Studio System, according to IMDB Pro, Pitt’s production company, Plan B is on board as one of the film’s producers; so Pitt may be able to the protect the film if it runs into studio mumbo jumbo. It’s just interesting to wonder if Malick is working a quicker speed or doing something completely different or will be just working with children between now and the end of June?

Way To Go Us (us being California) for allowing this whole gay marriage thing. Not only can Jimmy Kimmel & Sarah Silverman finally get married, but I as well will be finally end my embargo on marriage. E-Harmony, here I come! I hope there’s a special filter on E-Harmony for short brunettes of Mexican descent who live in skinny jeans.
Either way, Keep on livin’, gays couples.

The Crypt: Biden: Bush's comments were 'bullshit' - Politico.com →
Is Senator Joe Biden a Steve Langford fan? Biden pretty much quotes Langford in regards to Bush’s Obama subliminal diss.

I’ve made a few jokes about Leighton Meester over at Defamer, but I think the fictitious version of Meester I made up (make out bandit, ADD, etc.) is pretty accurate to the real thing.

Dear Sex & The City Movie,
Please leave me alone. I see ads for your dumb movie everywhere. It’s all they seem to talk about entertainment news shows and even, Howard Stern talks about his excitement for the film. Well, I have no excitement and I don’t think I’m the person you want watching your movie because either I’d fall asleep and snore during it or I’d just text the whole time or openly talk on my phone or just say my favorite Iron Sheik quote every other minute. So, let’s get down to brass tacks, you don’t like me and I don’t like you; so, just leave me alone and it’ll be gravy.
Sincerely,
Me.
