4. Ann Curry...
when she was reporting news. I don't attribute it to her, but to whoever wrote it.

The only one I consider a real journalist out of the group is when David Gregory sits in for Matt Lauer. The rest of them are famous people impersonating reporters.

Lots of cowards on the right these days.

6. If they were 'Rebellious' going in
Can you imagine how they're going to be when they come out?

V for Vendetta is the only film I have ever seen or heard about (in the UK at least) where portions of the audience have applauded when the credits rolled.

I'd guess that they're criticizing it a lot now because of people's reactions on seeing it. It is terrifying them.

11. Good Night, Good Luck: closing credit applause. Star Wars, Ep. 1: opening
credit applause, but not closing credit applause.

Those are the last two I remember.

12. "Rebellious" movie goers?
What makes a movie goer "rebellious"? Is there some official government edict on the proper movie to see, and if you see the wrong one, you can rightly be called "rebellious"? The locution makes less than no sense; I actually feel a little bit dumber for having seen it, and pondered its implications.
