The past few months have seen Mr. “Wes C. Addle”—Eddie Vedder—looking more like Mr. Tinseltown than just another (incredibly talented) Easy Street customer. Times don’t look like they’ll be a-changin’ in 2008.

In the middle of Steven Pinker's talk at Town Hall last night, the lecture morphed into some surprisingly blue comedy. We'll warn you now: what follows is adult language content.

Hoping to start catching up on all the films that are likely to garner Oscar nominations, Seattlest went to see Felicity Huffman's Golden Globe-winning turn in Transamerica, playing to a surprisingly packed house (on a weeknight no less!) at Pacific Place. Huffman is indeed excellent as a pre-op transsexual named Bree whose appointment to take the final plunge into womanhood is threatened when she learns she fathered a son named Toby, played competently by Kevin Zegers, who needs bailing out in more ways than one. Turns out the lad has picked up a few bad habits in his 17 years of fatherlessness, including drug use, prostitution, and lousy hair care. The movie follows the unlikely pair on a cross-country trip where their reluctant fondness for one another begins to drag them from their respective coping mechanisms against the injustices of life.

So here's our theory on the matter: The powers that be over at Seattle Grace headquarters have been gliding through these past couple post-holiday episodes as quickly and with as little effort or creative output as possible in order to gear up for the All Important Super Bowl Show, made even more All Important by the recent addition of our very own Seahawks. And lest you place Seattlest in a similar category (one of gliding through recent weeks with minimal exertion, that is, not one of being All Important, cause we're not and we are), then think again. And behold, this week's recap.
