The Week in Entertainment

DVD: All of the extended edition of Lord of the Rings. Ahhhhh. A Ukrainian dub of a Swedish film called Karlson, yakyy meshkaye na dakhu (Carlson who lives on the roof).

TV: House - why is Jennifer Morrison still in the credit? Good lines this week - Wilson, about the quick job furnishing the condo: "Piece of cake. You give them money, they give you furniture." Foreman to Taub, when their patient informs them there's a black hole in the MRI room, "She's hallucinating." Taub: "I certainly hope so."
