Just got back from a midnight screening of Quantum of Solace, details to follow in tomorrow’s Multiplex Madness. Now for some links we’ve been saving up:
Gah sleep.

8:30 EST – Monday Night Football: Steelers at Redskins (ESPN)
Jeff’s fantasy implication: Santana Moss. Pleeeeease catch four touchdowns tonight. Pleeeeeeeeease.
9:00 – Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash 2008 (NBC)
I can live with the idea of there being SNL content on nights that are not Saturdays, but it’s just plain awkward when they try to do the “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night” opening on any night but Saturday. Well, NBC.com promises that this will be a “2 HOUR BLOW OUT” of some sort of another. Hey, one more Palin imitation for the road, Tina Fey?
9:00 – Die Another Day (Spike)
Remember back when James Bond still had crazy gadgets and gizmos? You know, instead of blond hair and feelings? Well, if you don’t, Die Another Day will gladly remind you. Next question: they were really, really close to spinning off Halle Berry’s character into her own movie – would this have been a good thing because of 90 minutes of Halle Berry in a bikini on screen, or a bad thing because it would’ve been just as bad as Catwoman? Discuss.
Late Night
Paris Hilton is a fine, upstanding young woman on Letterman, Leno is apparently featuring something involving SeaWorld (……yeah), 2.0somethings mancrush Brian Williams is on Conan, Doris Kearns Goodwin plagiarizes her witty retorts to Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, and the Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan brags about how many bajillions of readers his stupid blog gets on Colbert.

Josh ain’t around (he’s in New York again, or dead, or something), so let’s hit you up with some news you can use:
The Hillary Clintonbot 9000 made an appearance on Saturday Night Live during an ‘editorial response’, responding to the question of “How’s the campaign going?” with “Oh, the campaign is going very well, very, very well. Why what have you heard?” Hearty laughter was enjoyed all around, until a desperate Hillary continued, “Seriously, what have you heard? My campaign hasn’t let me see a newspaper since September.”
The United States is dropping some serious knowledge, and missiles, in Somalia in an effort to take out an al-Qaida suspect. When reached for comment, President Bush reiterated his strong desire for a “bitchin” Black Hawk Down sequel.
Vladimir Putin’s hand-picked successor, Dimitry Medvedev, won Russia’s presidential election in a landslide over the weekend. As part of the ceremonial turnover, Medvedev will receive keys to the Kremlin gates, his photo on the cover of Time, and a free side salad coupon good at every Olive Garden in the former USSR.
Impending college graduates: if you’re stuck between working at the Gap for a little while, or becoming a member of a Palestinian rocket launching squad, lean towards the turtlenecks: Israeli forces spent the weekend performing ground raids and air strikes to knock out militant rocketeers.
Finally, the Iditarod has begun, which begs the question – are serious Iditarod fans like Nascar fans? Like, eskimo rednecks?
