Granted, this is just an unsubstantiated theory likely most beloved by conspiracy theorists who dislike the GOP, but could President Bush have given everyone more fodder proving the argument that he really is just Karl Rove’s puppet? The political blogosphere has gone a bit wild today over the possibility that Bush was wired with aContinue reading “IS KARL ROVE’S FAVORITE MOVIE BROADCAST NEWS?”

Every day last week, I wrote-up my own little notes on the current television fall season. This time around was in many ways more difficult than previous years because the traditional TV season is a thing of the past. Not all the new shows roll out the same week anymore. Many series will only airContinue reading “THE FALL SEASON IN (P)REVIEW: REVIEWING THE (P)REVIEW — SUMMARY EDITION”

I haven’t written too much about either the first Presidential or the Vice-Presidential debate primarily because I know that if I had sat down and started to do so, I would have, in fact, written too much. Besides, the debates themselves have taken a backseat to the debate about the debates. The spin and theContinue reading “DEBATING THE DEBATES: MAYBE RUDE IS BETTER”

Alright, so I’m four days late. Sorry. But this is a big undertaking, especially since Sunday nights are the best night for TV all week, and I’m not even including cable programming in the equation. HBO is a given on Sundays, but Showtime has been aggressively programming the night as well, and some of theContinue reading “THE FALL SEASON IN (P)REVIEW: SUNDAYS ARE BY FAR THE BEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK”

Between September and the end of the year, six films starring Jude Law will have opened. We’ve already had Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and I &#9829 Huckabees, and still to come are Closer, The Aviator and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Next up, however, is the remake of the greatContinue reading “WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT JUDE LAW — ASK HIM YOURSELF AT THE PREMIERE”

The world isn’t laughing tonight. Dick Cheney may have looked like death at the end of the debate, barely able to even get up from his chair, but he got up to walk and spout bullshit for another day. The same sadly can’t be said for Rodney Dangerfield who passed away yesterday at the ageContinue reading “R.I.P. RODNEY – WE REALLY DO RESPECT YOU”

Yeah, so I know I still owe you the whole Sunday (p)review thing, but that’s going to take me a while, and it just so happens I’m on jury duty right now. Well, not right now. Today, I’m at work. But that’s what’s making it more difficult. Because you see, yesterday I was at juryContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: THE REALLY REALLY BRIEF VERSION — REALLY”

Nearly 45 years after she got slashed to death in a shower becoming the most famous murder victim in history in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, actress Janet Leigh has died. While Psycho eventually overshadowed everything else on her resume, by the time she made it, Leigh had already created a long and respected body of work,Continue reading “R.I.P. JANET”

The major networks have basically abandoned Saturdays. The WB and UPN don’t even program the night, and NBC’s entire schedule consists of special clip shows and repeats. In fact, there is so little going on that in the fall previews by both TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly, the featured show doesn’t even exist in prime-time.Continue reading “THE FALL SEASON IN (P)REVIEW: MOVE ALONG PEOPLE — NOTHING TO SEE HERE … IT’S JUST SATURDAY”

You know, last night’s Presidential debate was great. John Kerry finally came out looking like he could win this thing, and Bush looked and sounded awful all night like, simply making statements with the hope that if he repeats something enough, people will believe it to be true. Frighteningly enough, plenty of people out thereContinue reading “HOW TO RECOVER FROM POST-DEBATE #1”
