Somehow I missed this when it was first reported by E! Online in January, but inclusion in today’s Variety (sub. req’d) makes it more real anyway: “Many meetings, meals and plane tickets later, the producing trio have finally announced their team to make Elle Woods sing and dance in a Broadway musical.” That’s right kidsContinue reading “FROM THE “COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY” FILES”

Before I take it upon myself to ignore the rest of the wall-to-wall Reagan coverage, there are a couple movie-related bits of Regan-info I thought I’d pass along. Also, I have a question maybe someone can answer that I consider even more perplexing than the one which troubled me for so many years: how theContinue reading “ALRIGHT, ENOUGH WITH THE RONNIE”

“Deeming his ‘personal life’ off-limits, Marc Anthony dodged questions Tuesday about whether he and Jennifer Lopez (news) got married this past weekend.” Uhm … Marc … did she drug you or something? I mean, we’ve seen the pictures. (From The Sun via Defamer and Stereogum.) At a certain point, isn’t denying or no comment-ing justContinue reading “AS IF SIMPLY MARRYING J.LO WASN’T STUPID ENOUGH”

On May 31, I saw this post on defamer.com, and I worried that the good ol’ days of porn in Times Square were definitely gone for good, but that the jackasses in LA were still enjoying a nice billboard for some erotic entertainment when driving down the Sunset Strip. How happy was I to discoverContinue reading “KEEPING THE GOOD OL’ TIMES SQUARE ALIVE”

I wanted to do my own part to honor J. Lo’s wedding to the recently divorced Marc Anthony, and what with the cinetrix throwing fuel on the flame of Starz!’s “double-dog dare,” I thought what better way to celebrate the wedding and pending divorce of these two lovebirds by seeing living proof of why BenniferContinue reading “IN CELEBRATION OF THE NUPTIALS”

On the flip side of my hedged but laudatory Reagan comments (at least, that’s what they were meant to be), some additional views via Alternet. The first paying particular attention to how all the plaudits placed upon Reagan in the current news coverage deals with his personality more than his achievements. “Today, as the mediaContinue reading “EQUAL TIME”

I’m nowhere near as good at this as TMFTML, but … “Of course, a woman must attract a man’s attention, but not so much as to overstep norms and arouse not business-like but only animal instincts.”

First of all, I’m a registered democrat, and I sit firmly on the left side of that central divide, albeit not teetering on the edge ready to fall-off the seesaw. I voted for Gore, I plan to vote for Kerry, and the current administration utterly terrifies me. With that in mind, watching the coverage ofContinue reading “I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M MOVED TO WRITE THIS POST, BUT NEVERTHELESS, R.I.P. GIPPER”

I wouldn’t believe it generally, but sometimes I suppose I can be far more cynical than necessary. I realize I’ve suddenly been writing (relatively) a lot about the Tony Awards, and considering that said prize covers an even smaller amount of important theater than the Oscars cover film, I almost feel like I’ve been mentioningContinue reading “WHO KNEW ANTOINETTE LIKED THE FULL PUPPET NUDITY?”

Not sure how I missed it for so long, but if you want to read some smart writing about film (debateable since you’re presently visiting this site), you should definitely check out The High Sign. I found it today thanks to Cynthia, who recommended the site’s review of Troy, which I should note is cleverlyContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY”
