...Wilco in there, especially because A Ghost Is Born is certainly more experimental than some earlier releases, but look at what it beat out: Björk’s Medulla, Modest Mouse’s Good News for People Who Like Bad News, PJ Harvey’s Uh Huh Her, and Franz Ferdinand’s eponymous release. A Ghost Is Born is just tired Americana and distorted guitar.

...ALSO WRITE THAT WE EXECUTE INNOCENT PEOPLE "ALL THE TIME." Who says that? I BELIEVE YOU DO. Nuh-uh. I'M ON PAGE 10. Oh yeah, I do say it. Well, everything points to it. I mean, the 118 death- row exonerees. ARE YOU OVERSTATING IT, THOUGH? I might be. But conversely, can someone say with assurance that we have not executed an innocent person?

After hounding her husband to move she soon becomes bored and claustrophobic. So she takes a lover, a young law student, and the rest is literature...
STILLER: Yeah, it was just a bizarre sketch that, uh, I keep on meaning to mention to him. [Laughter.] I don't know if he knows about it. I don't think it would be a big deal. He has a great sense of humor. But I've found that when you've done an impression of somebody, it doesn't really behoove you to say to them, "Hey, I did an impression of you. Check...
