NBC has picked ‘How I Meet Your Mother’ star, Neil Patrick Harris, to  host a variety show for the network. The show will start out with 10 episodes that include a mix of music and comedy sketches. It will be based on a long running British show called  ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’.

Throughout David Fincher’s adaptation of ‘Gone Girl,’ it was almost as if my subconscious was telling me that this movie shouldn’t be as good as what I was watching. That’s not a slam on Gillian Flynn’s novel (obviously; I haven’t read it), it’s just that the book is presented in such a unique way, which would at least seem almost impossible to pull off – just in a basic book vs. movie sort of way. Look, I understand that this following statement can be said about most movies, but in a less capable director’s hands – and with a less capable cast -- this movie could have easily have been garbage. Actually, this movie should have been garbage.
