Sam Jackson could spend thirty minutes reading the phone book, and it'd still be the most entertaining half hour you'd have all week. posted by Slap*Happy at 7:14 PM on December 18, 2012 [2 favorites]

Fucking hilarious. Samuel Jackson has a terrific sense of humor and Anne Hathaway seems to charm me no matter what she's doing.
I follow him on Twitter for the many and varied ways he manages to spell "motherfucker". posted by Rocky Mtn Erica at 7:23 PM on December 18, 2012

I guess I'm missing something, because I don't understand why they posted this version of the video. I mean the actors clearly go off-script almost immediately, and even if they couldn't re-shoot it and do it right, why would they put up anything at all? posted by kenko at 7:47 PM on December 18, 2012 [1 favorite]
No look, they started off by saying that they were going to talk about, what was it, the upbeat elements of the holiday season or something (acting!), and then Anne Hathaway just totally took one of Samuel L. Jackson's lines wrong, and then the whole thing went off the rails. Right? Didn't we watch the same video? posted by kenko at 7:53 PM on December 18, 2012 [2 favorites]

Tell this to the people on my local talk radio. They were complaining the other day that people weren't putting up massive lighting displays around their houses. For those yapping twits it felt like the whole purpose of Xmas was that everyone engage in attempting to beat their neighbours. posted by dumbland at 8:21 PM on December 18, 2012

Oh man - I just noticed Sam's "Santa" hat is a modified Kangol! Sheer freakin' genius. posted by Greg_Ace at 8:38 PM on December 18, 2012
Even before seeing this I spent a good 20 minutes tonight trying to figure out why I ever thought Anne Hathaway was annoying when lately she has been so perfect.

I thought she was annoying for some reason, too, until I saw the teaser clips from Les Miserables, where she kills it. And then I realized she's been delightful in pretty much everything she's done. posted by lunasol at 8:56 PM on December 18, 2012 [5 favorites]

Anne Hathaway's name made it very confusing for me when I was reading the bits of one of David Markson's last novels in which he marveled that Anne Hathaway couldn't read. posted by kenko at 10:53 PM on December 18, 2012 [1 favorite]

...the look on Hathaway's face after "we've seen a lot of you lately."
I didn't realize what a classy, reserved woman she could be (though I knew she was funny!). I don't think I could have kept a smile on my face like she did. posted by DisreputableDog at 5:00 AM on December 19, 2012 [2 favorites]
