Ya know, around the time Friends was ending, I would have bet on big things for Jennifer Aniston. She's certainly had her successes since then, with things like The Break-Up. But it really seems that she's had far more press for her relationships, and her penchant for sunbathing topless, than she has for her acting. That may go a long way to explain the latest Aniston rumor.

It's being reported that she has an idea for her production company, a movie where she plays the over-bearing mother to a rising star daughter. And she would like that daughter to be played by Miley Cyrus. It actually sounds like a good idea. From TV episodes, to concert tickets, now seems to be a pretty good time to be in the Miley Cyrus business. It should all be taken with a large grain of salt though, as the quote leading to the rumor, "I approached Miley about it, and she thinks it's a very cool idea." Is the Star, quoting a pal, quoting Aniston. Make of it what you will, but if there is any truth to it, it's an idea with some legs.

What can I say about Friends that hasn't already been said? You either like the show or you don't. I think a lot of people look at the show as "just another sitcom" about friends who hang out somewhere, one that was overhyped and one where the stars where overpaid. The hype I can't argue with and the pay, well, more power to them if they could get it. But I also happen to think that for a while there, several seasons in the middle of the show's 10 year run, it was one of the best sitcoms of all-time. It was remarkably well-written, clever, and at the same time had at its core a really big heart that all the copycats that followed couldn't recreate.

But what about this DVD set? Should you go out and buy the complete set?

Ah, the 1990's! Not quite as good as the 1980's but still an okay decade. I mean, it brought us Generation X, the Grunge movement (which basically involved dressing in flannel and not showering), Boy Bands and, courtesy of Bill Gates and Microsoft -- Windows 95. You remember Windows 95, don't you? It combined Windows and DOS into one comprehensive operating system, gave us our first look at Internet Explorer, and provided us with a chance to hop on to the information superhighway.

(S01E13) That was... interesting. The writers definitely kicked it up a notch with this episode as things certainly felt more dramatic than they have throughout most of the freshman season of Dirt. A lot of that feel was do in part to simple things that were used very effectively. Numerous times in the episode, the power of silence coupled with the rhythmic sounds of a beating heart helped to cut together some very cool scenes unlike anything this show has tried before.

Add to that a rather off-beat cameo from Jennifer Aniston as well as the proper outcome for some of the show's minor characters, and we had ourselves a pretty decent finale. Savor it though, because unless FX is feeling brave (Starved and Over*There tells me they aren't), then I don't think we'll find out what happens next. Dirt may very well be the latest FX one-hit wonder.
