world news tonight

The filmmakers of "United 93" used mostly unknown actors so the audience wouldn't get distracted by a famous face. I, however, was distracted by Denny Dillon of "Saturday Night Live" and by that lady who was on "Wings." Is it too soon for this movie? No. A movie called "American 11" would be too soon, but not "United 93"... By the way, I'm glad that Moussaoui will remain a failed martyr for his cause... Paris Bennett should have stayed on "American Idol" longer than Elliott Yamin. Funnyman Mario Cantone says Yamin looks like a gelfling from "The Dark Crystal" but I prefer Entertainment Weekly's observation that he looks like Mr. Tumnus from "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"... At first I thought I had never before heard that great song that Katharine McPhee sang on Tuesday night but then I realized that I had watched KT Tunstall perform "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"... There's no purpose in putting a "Yield" point on a non-elimination leg of "The Amazing Race." Lame... Even though the great J.J. Abrams directed it, I can't bring myself to see "Mission: Impossible III" after the way the first two films crapped on everything I loved about the original TV series. Instead I'll spend the time reading about the funny missions accomplished by Improv Everywhere... Here's a good meme idea: who are the 100 most influential people in your life?
