So here I am, up late (as usual) doing a bunch of catch-up reading and work, and for some reason I haven’t changed the channel from MSNBC with their little Scarborough & Reagan “After Hours” show when who would Joe and Ron start interviewing but none other than the most pathetic Baldwin brother, Stephen. IContinue reading “I ALWAYS KNEW STEPHEN BALDWIN WAS AN ATTENTION WHORE, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT HE WAS THIS CRAZY”

Does anyone know how Greencine Daily does it? Seriously. I mean, it would take me a month to read all the stuff editor David Hudson links to in half-a-week. Does he have a whole room set-up, A Clockwork Orange-style, with little slaves forced to read all these articles projected onto big monitors? Their eyelids proppedContinue reading “DAMN YOU EBERT! I DON’T WANT ANY OF THE GALLO KOOL-AID”

Today is the day when the general public is subjected has the opportunity to see Vincent Gallo’s The Brown Bunny. I’ve already provided my reaction to the film (which I saw about 6 weeks ago, I think) in a few different places, which has been valuable to my hit count since I get plenty ofContinue reading “THE BUNNY ATTACKS: CUTER AND SWEETER THAN DONNIE DARKO’s FRANK BUT FAR MORE DISTURBING”

Yes, more shilling for my favorite channel, TCM. They really should start paying me for all this free advertising. I’m sure I’ve given them at least one or two viewers, and that’s got to be nearly 1/10 of their entire audience. I kid … I joke. We always make fun of the ones we love.Continue reading “TCM WATCH: WRAPPING THE SUMMER AND THE STARS”

This is it folks. The last week regional semifinals for IFC’s Ultimate Film Fanatic. Next week (thankfully) is the season finale – the finals, and they couldn’t come too soon. I noticed that they’re starting the process of auditions for a second season already, and I have one request of the producers: call me. Seriously.Continue reading “IFC UFF WEEK 7: AS THE FINALS APPROACH, THE PRODUCERS MAKE ME HATE THE CONTESTANTS MORE THAN THEM”

So if you were paying attention yesterday (and to the post directly under this one), you watched The Daily Show last night and saw Jon Stewart’s interview with John Kerry. Not that I expected Stewart to become all Chris Matthews on him, but that was really almost too easy. I mean, I know it’s aContinue reading “A POST DAILY SHOW POST”

In case you haven’t heard, get your DiVos/TiVos/VCRs/whatever ready to at least record tonight’s episode of The Daily Show because tonight’s guest will be none other than John Kerry. Over at Gothamist Arts, as well as on her own site, Jen Daily Refill correctly mentions the trend Jon Stewart’s show is showing towards getting higherContinue reading “LIKE YOU NEEDED ANOTHER REASON TO WATCH THE DAILY SHOW“

The “Summer Under the Stars” on TCM is winding down, but the programming continues to be strong. The next three days, in fact, are some of the best of the month, starting with today’s look at the career of Charlie Chaplin. You can catch most of Chaplin’s “Little Tramp” films tonight from 8 PM-2:30, andContinue reading “TCM WATCH: STARS STILL SHINING BRIGHT”

I had another super-fabulous movie weekend, making it to Film Forum on Friday for the magnificent-and-you-really-shouldn’t-miss-it The Leopard. Later that evening, I sat through Collateral, a movie about which I have a lot to say and am really conflicted. On Saturday I avoided the bulk of the thunderstorm (after receiving a brief drenching while gettingContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: IF BROOKE SHIELDS STARRED AS GOD CHASING DOWN THE WARRIORS GANG, WOULD THAT MAKE THE NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL OR JUST THE WORLD STAR GAZETTE?”

So I’m getting these Ultimate Film Fanatic commentaries posted later and later, but whatever. Tonight’s semifinal is the last regional, and the final finale is next week. Since the show has been consistently annoying in its mediocrity, I’m happy that at least this first series or “tournament” or whatever-you-want-to-call-it is almost over. With that said,Continue reading “IFC’S UFF WEEK 6: WOULD YOU BELIEVE I DON’T HAVE MUCH TO BITCH ABOUT (KEY WORD=”MUCH”)”
