If you think I’m going to eas­ily let go of the fact that Channing Tatum’s char­ac­ter in White House Down is named “John Cale,” you don’t know me very well. But my MSN Movies review does­n’t go into the movie’s oddest line of dia­logue, which is “Killing Ted Hope was the second hard­est thing I ever had to do in my life.” No, really.

Also, I’m So Excited

    Laughed out loud at the John Cale-related japes. Also appre­ci­ated the TMBG ref­er­ence. Nice work as always!

    President Brian Eno” – best laugh I’ve had since skip­ping out of work to watch “This Is The End” earli­er in the week. Which happened after I received from HR my “final warn­ing” (also my first warn­ing) after arguing with the boss. So laughs are good right now.

    I’m sur­prised you did­n’t say any­thing about the White House tour guide, Marc Bolan.
