Re: THE BENSON INTERRUPTION - UCB-LA Monday, Nov. 10 w/I'm Not Telling!

a top ten finisher from AST Poll #9, and one of the "others of note," will be among the interrupted tonight. plus a possible appearance from a mercurial top five finalist!

and tomorrow night - come to CDR early to see one of the AST top three on I LOVE MOVIES.

(i've never used the word mercurial before!)

Now you're not only not telling, you're all bridge troll-rumplestiltskin-guess my guesting them, just great. it is like comedy AND a logic puzzle.

the "other of note" had to cancel because he/she has an early call on RENO 9/11 tomorrow. but don't you worry, i'll get one helluva replacement - maybe two!

(yes, 9/11)

Really good show.

The Top 10er was Maria Bamford and the Top 5er didn't show up (I'm guessing it was Galifianakis?). We also got Harris Wittels, Aziz Ansari, and Graham Elwood. What a lineup!

9:00-11:00 --Thelma and Louise (1991) -- Two women visit the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

I thought of this one on the drive home...

Three men bond during a fishing trip - Jaws

This game needs to be incorporated into I Love Movies.

Re: THE BENSON INTERRUPTION - UCB-LA Monday, Nov. 10 w/I'm Not Telling!

that game (making up weirdly specific tv listing descriptions for famous movies) was a lot of fun last night (and jimmy dore was on the show too, by the by), but it's very similar to the TiVo trivia game they play on The Adam Carolla Show (where i will be appearing later this a.m. - go to www.adamcarolla.com to stream or download or just listen to the radio to hear my segments).

A woman gets punched in the head and dies. -MILLION DOLLAR BABY

Blacks don't like sailing. -AMISTAD

EDIT: Looks like I'll be playing Totally Topical TiVo Trivia today!

Seriously, I could handle an hour of just this. Kills.

"A young man returns from the war to run the family business - The Godfather" even managed to get a laugh out of my wife when I got home at 1:04 am .

I'm with Gene — I'd go to a show of just nothing but those one-line movie descriptions.

Graham's finest moment just might be, "A guy goes to space to fight his dad: Star Wars."

That just made me realize - Graham interrupted the interruption! My brain, she's gonna pop!

So we have:

"A guy goes to space to fight his dad: Star Wars."
"A young man learns to use his other hand: The Empire Strikes Back"
I propose:
"A Farmboy's dad quits his job abruptly: Return of the Jedi"
