Tuesday linkspam

[next_to_normal]

Today is Tuesday, right? Sometimes I lose track.

* B.J. Novak talks about his appearance on tonight's Mindy Project, a show that I think continues to improve, and Mindy continues to be freakishly reminiscent of my friend from college who is now a doctor.

* Amy Poehler is writing a book. I want it.

* Good news: Allison Janney is coming back to TV. Bad news: it's on a Chuck Lorre sitcom.

* RDJ talks about Iron Man 3. ETA: Part 2 of the interview is now up.

* Barbara Walters has the chicken pox. And you thought it was just for kids. (Fun fact: I never had the chicken pox. I got the vaccine when it first came out - I was a teenager by then - because supposedly it's a lot worse when you get the chicken pox as an adult.)

* That Boy Meets World sequel/spinoff series is actually happening. Cory and Topanga's daughter has been cast.

* This is an incredible story: a Russian family lived in Siberia for 40 years completely cut off from the outside world.

I am probably naturally immune, because as a kid I was around others who were contagious and never got it, but my mom made me get the shot anyway, just in case.

That commentary is hilarious. I love how much of it is "...and that awesome transition was totally an accident!"

I suspect he and RDJ are much alike....

LOL I would not have made that connection? Because Joss is very self-deprecating by nature and RDJ is so Tony-ish and all LOOK HOW AWESOME I AM.

Well, yes, but they have that same dry, blink and you'll miss it, sense of funny. And an need to do the opposite of what is expected or hoped for. I dunno - they just seemed to me that they were more alike than not. Joss may be self-deprecating, but that doesn't mean he isn't quite confident that he's brilliant. :)
