* Men in Black 3: it's pretty good, but to be honest does not contain all that many laughs. It really is more of an science fiction action adventure movie (where the science is unimportant, like on Dr Who), and as such it works well. I did not see the twist coming near the end that many reviewers noted is surprisingly moving. (It is, and a great idea for the plot. In fact, what is also surprising is that the movie was reported to have started filming without a finished script. You would never guess it from the final product.)
* The McDonald's Sydney Stack burger: features pineapple, tomato, bacon and (I think) beetroot. I liked it a lot. Another damned "limited time only" burger though, d'oh.
* Picked up a flea market for $1 a dvd set of the complete second season of Scrubs (now 10 years old!). Was very amused listening to some of the audio commentary (they don't do it for every episode, but still). The creator Bill Lawrence and actors involved in the show come across as very down to earth types, and as they were doing commentary for shows they had made a couple of years previously, it was funny listening to them laughing at some stuff they had half forgotten. And talking about trivia like their previous haircuts, etc.
Apparently, Neil Flynn (as Janitor) after the first season just improvised as huge number of his lines.
It remains an enormously likeable show.
