I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Pattinson interview, as I have no interest in Twilight, Cosmopolis, or Robert Pattinson. Jon has a way of making these things entertaining. It seems like whenever he interviews an actor about their new movie, the interview always turns into a Seinfeldian Conversation (which is usually hilarious). His entire interview with Paul Rudd turned into a hilarious discussion about different candies, which was good because I wasn't interested in Wanderlust either.

Fresh-eyed movie blogDid Leonard Nimoy really narrate a wonderfully lemony, short biography of Mitt Romney?!
John Oliver was absolutely brilliant last night in his comparison of the Republican party "modifying the truth" in order to get elected with a guy lying to get a drunk girl into bed with him.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"How in the hell did they get Leonard Nimoy to narrate that? That was incredible.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Nimoy's retired from physical acting (though there's rumors he's going to be in the next Star Trek movie) but he still does voice acting from time to time.

They got a lot of comedy mileage out of that interview the next day.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
