    Thanks to you, Dave, for doing this for so long, and so well. And for putting up with us internet crazies.

    I am not a truthteller!
    Metaphysical conundrums aside, best wishes to all on your weird yank Turkey Eating Day. ;)

    “to my enemies”
    im thankful for melodrama.
    who the f really has enemies heat? you might have people you fundamentally disagree with, but enemies? way to completely lose perspective on being thankful. you l.a. types, so full of bile.

    Obama is thankful for self-deluding libs who think he’s made remarkable progress this year, to the extent that the world is significantly safer and saner. Keep the faith!
    I keed, I keed! Happy Thanksgiving.

    I would have thought we just say who we are thankful for in the world of movies. These are the people who are currently bringing the most joy to me from Hollywood and for whom I am most thankful:
    The Coen Brothers
    Paul Rudd
    Alec Baldwin
    Meryl Streep
    Quentin Tarantino
    Danny Boyle
    Amy Pohler
    Kristen Wiig
    Michael Sheen
    Denzel Washington
    James Franco
    Martin Scorcese
    Steven Soderbergh
    Judd Apatow
    I know – it’s quite a bizarre list, but I’m a pretty bizarre fellow.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Honestly David, I think the critical success of the women-helmed films “Hurt Locker”, “Bright Star”, and “An Education” are considered more important achievements. Bigelow may be the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director, and that’s exciting for women in the industry.
    As for “New Moon”, it’s nice to be able to point to a hugely successful film that was entirely geared to the female audience.
    (Yeah, it sucked, but so did “Transformers”.)

    I am NOT thankful for Thanksgiving since it’s another American public holiday that means my internet “surfing” become severely lacklustre since everyone turns off.
    (happy thanksgiving to all the Americans though, really).

“A lot of people bring bacon and Scotch. There’s a great tailgating scene at a lot of these colleges before the show. They put up different Ron Swanson banners, and they will be grilling different Ron Swanson meat items, like the Swanson. That’s a turkey leg wrapped in bacon, and I have to say it’s pretty delicious. What greater fan interaction could there be? This guy at Iowa State handed me a jalapeño Cheddar cheeseburger that he’d made, which I happily consumed, which fueled the comedy that he’d come to see. It’s all hakuna matata, part of life’s beautiful circle.”
