The first part of Dermot Mulroney's guest appearance on "New Girl" has him playing the father of one of Jess' students. At first Jess hates him, but pretty soon she finds that he's handsome, successful and impossibly nice. Nick, meanwhile, falls in love with a desk.

Everyone has murder on the mind in this week's episode of "Ringer". Siobhan fantasizes about killing Bridget in a scene that was produced entirely to be put into misleading promos. Bridget, as per usual, is nearly killed a million times. Agent Pretty Eyes delivers a beat down, loses his badge and nearly dies, which is really a Malcolm kind of day minus being tied to something.

You can never quite get everything in a book into the movie adaptation, even if you go the "Harry Potter" or "Twilight" route and split one of the books into two movies. So what was different about "The Hunger Games," and did it hurt or help the movie?

It feels like its been forever since word leaked about the progress with this summer's coming "Total Recall" remake. That drought ends today, with Columbia's teaser for the Colin Farrell thrill ride's April 1 debut trailer.

One could've forgiven anybody who'd previously lost "Prometheus" among the summer-movie shuffle presently dominated by "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Avengers." One well-received teaser-for-the-teaser and a rave-reviewed teaser trailer later, the Ridley Scott space romp looks more and more like a must-see. With the film hitting theaters June 8, it's about time the TV campaign began.

For all its legitimate value and applications as a communication tool, few platforms unfortunately function quite as effectively as Twitter at helping tools communicate.

I'm old enough to remember a time when Facebook was restricted to people 18 years of age and older - specifically, to current and former post-high school students. Or as I'd rather call it..."the good old days." As a consequence of a moment of "Just what the f*** was THAT supposed to accomplish?", irritating moppett with a record deal Justin Bieber now faces possible legal action from a Texas couple whose phone number he published to 19 million Bieber-Fever patients.

In a moment of punditry that broke bizarre, uncomfortable new ground, MSNBC "Last Call" host Lawrence O'Donnell found himself without a headlining he was. The interview must go on, it seems.
