Awesomest dialog of '05 on tonight's 24:

TONY:

It's funny. This morning, Jack and Audrey were planning their future. Now he's responsible for her husband's death and he may have to torture her brother.

People Get Ready

God's Guide To The Hot Parts--the fundamentalist web ministry that fights Hollywood smut by describing it in arousing detail--just dispatched this urgent e-mail alert:

I have been invited to a private screening of Star Wars: Episode III here in town on Tuesday night, May 17, a full day before its official opening at 12:01 AM, Thursday, May 19. I will have the results distributed and posted to the website as soon as possible after viewing it, hopefully before the first showing.

Needless to say, I too will have the results distributed and posted to the website as soon as possible after The Hot Parts Guy views it, hopefully before the first showing.

Join us on Monday for another episode of the Fox News discussion series, Talkin' Down!
