Does Red Lobster really need to advertise? Don't they have a monopoly on crappy sit-down fried seafood? For that matter, should the government invoke the Sherman or Clayton acts to dismantle this reckless goliath? If this is not the reason why they were drafted, then I can think of none at all.

If you were in the movie Deep Blue Sea, building an undersea research facility to engineer super-intelligent sharks in which you’d have to spend weeks at a time, would you hire Michael Rapaport to keep you company? Just seeing him in Boston Public commercials puts him on my worst hypothetical coworker short list (along with Gallagher and Fran Drescher).

Prediction: this poker craze will mutate uncontrollably until all actors are required to play Texas hold ‘em to join the Screen Actors Guild.

Couldn't agree with you more about the poker thing. ESPN poker world series is fine--real people, playing real cards for real money. But last night, i was forced to watch Don Cheadle play cards against David Schwimmer and a few other C list celebs in one of the most painful charity events of my time. Who cares. What's happened in the mind of TV execs?

If you were in the movie le Grand bleu, spending childhood summers lounging and diving in the Mediterranean Sea, would you compete against Jean Reno in underwater unassisted 'free dives'? Just seeing him in The Professional puts him on my worst hypothetical unassisted underwateer free diving competetion short list (along with Gérard Depardieu and Laetitia Casta).

Touché, mon bon vivant.
