From Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) doing her Muppet walk or saying “what the what?”to “I want to go there” to Baldwin paying homage to Malice, without having seen this season of 30 Rock at all, much of it was familiar by remembering tweets and things people said. My Review after the jump.

Oh, there were moments, but I remember when the show debuted, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip came out around the same time and seemed like it might be something awesome.

Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to star in the drama, Rape: A Love Story.Based on a searing, harrowing novella by Joyce Carol Oates, the movie – directed by Harold Becker – will tell the story of Teena MacGuire (Maria Bello), a young mother who is brutally gang-raped and left for dead, in an attack witnessed by her 12 year-old daughter (Abigail Breslin).Jackson will play a cop who, appalled by Teena’s plight and a legal miscarriage of justice, takes the law into his own hands in an attempt to punish her attackers. The cop in the novella is considerably younger than Jackson, so it’ll be interesting to see what other changes will be made for the movie.The provocative title, by the way, refers to the bond that Breslin’s Bethie forges with the cop in the aftermath of the rape.The movie will be Becker’s first since Domestic Disturbance, »
