That's James Cameron describing the (lack of?) skills of one of his lighting guys in this month-old bit of awesome from Dana Goodyear. It's a pretty great profile although--not to take anything away from Goodyear--the subject is so good that it would be hard to mess it up.

I take a backseat to no one in my Joss Whedon fandom and I'm thrilled to see that the PGA is giving him an award. But does this make sense? Whedon is a producer, writer, director, and creator for such hit television programs as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Firefly,” and “Dollhouse.” ...

You probably didn't see it, but Roddy Piper guest hosted RAW this week and even though he was totally blotto by the end of the show, he still has spectacular stuff. I consider Piper one of the two greatest talkers in the history of wrestling, the other being Ric Flair. These top two slots are ...

Galley Friend R.M. once paid $800 for a bottle of scotch salvaged from a 100-year-old British ship, but even that's not as hardcore as this operationg : A beverage company has asked a team to drill through Antarctica's ice for a lost cache of some vintage Scotch whiskey that has been on the ...

I'd never heard this story before last week: "My first start came against the Colts," Brady said. "And Peyton came over on our field and said, 'Hey, Peyton Manning.' And I said, 'no shit.''" There's something so quintessentially American about that exchange, from both sides.

Sure the Eagles lost, but they spurred the creation of a new NFL rule. Suck on that, Cowgirls!

On second thought, maybe it wouldn't be such a terrible thing. After all, some papers seem desperate to go out of business.

Galley Friend P.G. sends us this fantastic Gladwell parody: Why baby Jesus? Research confirms there were upwards of 157 hotel-cum-stables in Bethlehem that night, with estimated 97 percent occupancy levels. So why did that star shine so brightly over his? Imagine that I were to ...

A note from Galley Friend A.W.: The kids are watching a recent Dora The Explorer special episode ("Dora Saves The Crystal Kingdom," if you're interested). I just watched a scene in which Dora wanders upon a knight warding a giant dragon off with a sword. To intervene and stop the fight, ...

Remember how we all laughed when Hollywood started turning comic books into movies? And then videogames? And theme-park rides? That all seems so quaint now. Because CBS is building a TV show based on a Twitter feed.
