After the show, Walter took Norman to the West End, where Norman marveled at the broad beer selection. As they slowly worked their way through a small percentage of the fifty-plus on offer, Walter lamented how inferior college was making him feel.
"Screw that," rejoined Norman. "Just have fun and keep learning and next year's freshmen will feel inferior to you. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have to go to college in the first place. Don't tell me about that, tell me about all the cool stuff you've been doing."
"Well, during orientation there was a great band playing outside for free called So What. I know you're not that into fusion, but they were hot.

Despite leaving Fox News last month, Sarah Palin is not joining Al Jazeera America as a talking head. She is, however ,certainly mocking a Washington Post report today incorrectly claiming she was. “Hey @washingtonpost, I’m having coffee with Elvis this week. He works at the Mocha Moose in Wasilla. #suziparkerscoops #idiotmedia,” the former Gop VP candidate wrote on Twitter today. Earlier in the day, the Post ran a seemingly unbelievable story by blogger Suzy Parker on its website saying Palin was heading to the new U.S. version of the Qatar-based network. Parker’s story cited a February 4 report on the Daily Currant as its source for Palin’s new gig. The story quoted the conservative former Alaska Governor as saying Al Jazeera “told me they reach millions of devoutly religious people who don’t watch CBS or CNN. That tells me they don’t have a liberal bias.

And then God said unto man… “Where’s my dinner?”
Okay, so it wasn’t God, it was William H. Macy, but close enough. As the prototypical 1950s suburban husband in “Pleasantville,” Macy discovers free-will, feminism, fear, isolation, and identity loss over the course of a hilarious 30-seconds when he arrives home to find “no wife, no lights, no dinner” for the first time in his life.
It’s the most famous scene in a film with an embarrassment of riches, using the fantastical concept of modern-day (circa 1998) kids sucked into the cornball ’50s TV show of the title to address hardball issues of personal freedom.
Gary Ross, who had previously co-written “Big” and “Dave,” made an amazingly assured directorial debut, and built on the same central concept of his previous two scripts, namely the naïve outsider who becomes disillusioned with, then ultimately changes for the better, his ideal world.
