No time for anything. I’ve been meaning to put up a post all week about the event I’m working on (which starts tomorrow) and haven’t even had time to do that. I didn’t even have time to do a weekly preview, but I did anyway. I was doing it until 5 AM today before realizingContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: FALLING ASLEEP AT THE KEYBOARD”

I don’t have a lot of time as I’m on my way out to Newport, RI for a wedding this weekend. Don’t you love weddings planned on holiday weekends? I sure as hell do. You know, people often say they schedule their weddings on a holiday weekend in order to be considerate of their guests,Continue reading “TCM WATCH: NEW MONTH — HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL POWELL”

I’ve pretty much stayed away from getting into any discussions about Hurrican Katrina and its aftermath for a few reasons: First, I don’t really think I have anything to add to the debate because you know, there really isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, any debate. What has happened there is unimaginable, and all ofContinue reading “TWO CENTS (AND NOT MUCH MORE) ON THE GULF COAST”

Not only did I manage to write a weekend/weekly preview this week, I got it done early. (And by early I mean 4:30 AM.) However, you can’t read it here. Why you ask? Because it’s up over at Gothamist. I’ve written their weekly “Movie Guide” this week, and I may or may/not continue to doContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: IT HAS A NEW HOME, AT LEAST THIS WEEK”

Final Fringe Festival post is up over at Gothamist. Mallory reviews two last shows — Manatee and Ratface — and also talks a little about the winners. (Here’s a link to the full list.) I have to admit that I’m shocked at an Outstanding Play mention for Go-Go Kitty, Go! which was fun and allContinue reading “THE END OF THE (2005) FRINGE!”

I can already tell, not a lot of time this week. It’s sad too because I just spent the last couple hours working on a big to-do list of things I’m sure I won’t get done and I had something like 10 different specific post ideas I want to write, but I’m not sure whenContinue reading “TCM WATCH: KERR AND BOGART END THINGS WITH A BANG”

TCM’s brilliant month of programming continues with what, for my money, is the best weekdn of the entire month. One really can’t ask for more than a Spencer Tracy Saturday paired with a William Holden Sunday. Several of each stars best performances are included in the daily lineup, and anyone who has read this blogContinue reading “TCM WATCH: SCOTT, TRACY, HOLDEN, BENNETT — THE BEST WEEKEND YET”

I have no idea what happened, but somehow a post announcing a bit more Fringe coverage at Gothamist just completely disappeared, and I definitely don’t have time to rewrite what I’m sure you know must have been Pulitzer or Peabody-quality writing. I mean it was a brilliant post, I tell you. Probably the best I’veContinue reading “LIVING (BARELY) AT WORK AND ON THE FRINGE, AND NOT MUCH ELSE”

Not much time today, but I just wanted to remind everyone that TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars” continues this week with days dedicated to four fantastic talents. Be sure to check the Turner Classic Movies website for specific schedule information. After the jump, reprints of my original capsules on Basil Rathbone, Sophia Loren, Norma ShearerContinue reading “TCM WATCH: DON’T MISS RATHBONE, LOREN, SHEARER AND SCOTT”

So there was this bachelor party this weekend of a good friend tha basically involved riding on a “party bus” for over three hours to Hancock, NY, hanging out at a bar there (it has meaning to the future groom) until after 2 AM, and then getting back on the bus for the somehow shorterContinue reading “THE WEEKEND IN REVIEW: NOTHING BUT FRINGE, AND NOT MUCH OF THAT”
