"The Trip" - six part BBC vehicle for Steve Cougan that may be released as a movie. If there was a darker, more satisfying comedy on TV this year, I missed it.
Will Colin Firth bring Geoffry Rush up on stage to help him with his acceptance speech?
Things are bound to get rather animated when The Illusionist sees off Toy Story 3.
Dalai Lama tweets:

I have a Fitbit. It is simply a glorified pedometer - thus it cannot measure horizontal jogging, just the vertical kind.
@Werrick: Quite easily.
Pull the other one.
I was looking for the AC/DC reference, but couldn't find it.
Cruise takes lap top and lap dog for a stroll.
Rachel Madcow is the most overrated talking head on TV.
Her smug, self-righteous, self-satified smirk makes her unwatchable. Never trust anyone who talks out of one side of their mouth (for reference see Dick Morris).
She was the worst thing on Air America and she has seamlessly assumed that same mantle on MSNBC.

@Moff: As a Brit living here, I had no idea how much hatred of foreigners lies just below the surface.
There is always truth in jest and it is clear that a huge amount of resentment exists.
The tipping point, perhaps?
When I go into a restaurant, I don't go in either as a philanthropist or a union rep - I go in as a hungry person who wants to eat.
I don't want to sit there at the end of a meal wondering if 20% or 25% is the difference between my server paying their rent or not.
If a server is being paid in tips, the restaurant should work out what % needs to be added to each bill to pay these people fairly and I will happily pay it (if the service is outstanding I would probably chuck in even more) and leave me in peace to enjoy my evening.
And if the restaurant isn't passing on those tips don't blame me - go and find someone who gives a shit - like a union or find a job where the owner isn't an asshole.
I always overtip. Not because I'm generous or because I think the service is good - I do it because I can't be bothered with the hassle and drama.
I don't spend every subway ride wondering if I should still give the driver 15% because the two minute stop in the tunnel was sort of offset by the nice annoucement.
btw - If the piece had been about gays, african-americans, asian-americans or disabled people being bad tippers, do you think the tone would have been quite so abusive and stereotypical? I don't think so.
Double standards, methinks.
