Showrunner Paul Liberstein, who also plays Toby, shed some light on how Michael lands his lady: “It’s one of these set-ups where a bunch of people go out and you don’t know you’re being set up.” When Michael discovers what’s going on, “he kind of flips out and goes into ‘date mode,’” says Lieberstein. “And it goes in a weird direction from there.” The role hasn’t been cast yet, so we drew up some suggestions of who should be the “she” in “that’s what she said.” The Boston accent Julianne Moore attempted as Jack Donaghy’s high school flame on 30 Rock was more wack than wicked .

Cameras hooked to our computers were originally just for playing around, like a webcam for example, and their quality just wasn’t that good.

Oh boy, I hope this is true. I’m shooting with an XSi, and it’s a great camera, but damn would I like to have me some movie-shooting ability. The T1i was a bad bet for that because it shot at 20FPS , which is ridiculous, but this new T2i allegedly has selectable frame rate modes
