I admit it. Even after ranting about The WB’s Superstar USA last week, I have to cop to the fact that when this level of train-wreck television shows up on the schedule, I’m eerily drawn to it like the mosquito to the zapper. I still say the show is terribly produced — they continue toContinue reading “ON SECOND THOUGHT, MAYBE NICKY’S EX ISN”T SO BAD”

Michael Moore’s “controversial” film Fahrenheit 9/11 was awarded the top prize — the Palme d’Or — at the Cannes Film Festival earlier today. I haven’t seen any of the films in competition at Cannes, so I’m not saying it wasn’t worthy. And Moore looked genuinely shocked, even though he says he flew back to CannesContinue reading “MICHAEL MOORE IS THE KING OF THE WORLD! (OR IS IT QUENTIN TARANTINO)”

As has been reported in several places today (but I’ll give credit to IndieWire), Vincent Gallo‘s roundly trounced The Brown Bunny has been picked-up for distribution in NY and LA by Wellspring Media. The movie caused a war of words (to put it politely) between critic Roger Ebert and Gallo, and it basically has aContinue reading “VINCENT GALLO FILLS ME WITH ENOUGH BILE TO CHOKE CHLOE SEVIGNY”

The best part about The WB’s Superstar U.S.A. is that it gives the home viewing audience another chance to be annoyed by former Carson Daly and current Ryan Seacrest wannabe (and even more infamously, former Nicky Hilton paramour) Brian McFayden. McFayden has had a phenomenal career-curve, starting as the not-quite-the-next-Daly MTV-VJ, and then popping-up onContinue reading “HOSTED BY SEACREST-LITE, WHO ALSO WANTS TO BE A SUPERSTAR”

I had myself a little C.S.I. franchise night, sort of by default because there was nothing else on. I like the original show, but I don’t watch it that much because I’ve got too much other crap on my plate. I never watch the Miami spin-off because I can’t really take all that much ofContinue reading “MIAMI RED, NY BLUE”

Today’s Page Six details the thievery occurring at Cannes, and strangely enough, it has nothing to do with Tarantino stealing the presidency of the jury. Rather, it seems that someone snuck into A.O. Scott’s room — while he was there and asleep — and stole his wallet and laptop. The poor guy has been relegatedContinue reading “HAS ANYONE SEEN ELVIS MITCHELL SKULKING AROUND CANNES?”

Want to see a pre-Felix Unger Tony Randall? The channel-to-end-all-channels — Turner Classic Movies — is revamping its schedule on Monday 5/24. From 6 AM until 8 PM, TCM will screen The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Alphabet Murders (in which Randall plays Agatha Christie’s detective extraordinaire, Hercule Poirot),Continue reading “TCM HONORS TONY RANDALL”

I’m back. From Downtown. Sitting at my desk with a sad look upon my face. Sorry I was gone so long. I’m still recovering from my Tribeca experience — a great but exhausting one that saw me get very little sleep, many injuries and plenty of headaches. I’ll write more on that later, but forContinue reading “AND NOW WE RETURN TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING”

So I guess ESPN is looking to give Pete Rose a sympathetic spin. In the “best” casting news in a long time, Tom Sizemore is going to play Pete Rose in ESPN’s movie Hustle. I actually mentioned Hustle a few weeks ago because it was announced that Peter Bogdanovich will be directing. ESPN seems toContinue reading “I GUESS THIS WAY THE GAMBLING WON’T LOOK SO BAD”

Just stopped by for a brief sec while eating my bagel, drinking my coffee and continuing the ever-increasing-in-duration attempt to focus my early-30s eyes for a little linkage. Is there really any reason why anyone would want to tune in to listen to Donald Trump pontificate on the radio? (via The Hollywood Reporter) I supposeContinue reading “I LIKE THE APPRENTICE AND ALL, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS”
