Before I started this blog a little over a month ago, a friend of mine told me blogging was addictive. I had already experienced the need to read the 20-50 blogs I had discovered on a daily basis. I mean, other than The Daily Show, The Blogosphere is by far our most trusted news source.Continue reading “IT’S LIKE AN ADDICTION, AND NOW I HAVE THE DTs”

Oy, Mondays. And tonight is the first night of Passover which means … oh wait … I’m not the religious. So basically it means I get overrun with guilt at not being more religious and more observant of millenia-old Jewish traditions such as not eating any form of grain and following extra-stringent kosher for passoverContinue reading “PERFECTLY HARMLESS — NOTHING TO SEE HERE”

I’m not afraid. I took the challenge that the cinetrix threw my way. (Yes, yes … it’s ALL about me!) I got six out of 10 on The Guardian’s “All the Reel Girls” quiz, which apparently means the following: Elder sister. You’re keen to embrace the history of cinema from a woman’s perspective, but something’sContinue reading “6 OUT OF 10 MAKES ME AN ELDER SISTER!”

See, I’m nowheer near as media-savvy as most of the NYC blogger community, so I don’t actually read every single magazine that hits the newsstands, and I’m ashamed to say that I’m rarely aware of what may hit the cover of Paper. So I have to thank Lindsay Lindsayism for alerting me to keep watchContinue reading “I STILL LOVE THE SIMPLE, SEXY GLASSES LOOK”

I hate being scooped on big important film happenings in the NYC area by bloggers in Boston, but that’s exactly what’s happened today. I know the Cinetrix is a better writer than I and obviously knows more about film, but come on; I can read a calendar as well as anyone, and An Evening WithContinue reading “I HOPE I DON’T LOSE MY RESIDENCY STATUS FOR THIS”

If it weren’t for the links I get from TMFTML, I would be completely oblivious to all the truly important news of the day. For instance, I didn’t realize that I was not worshipping the real albeit “unofficial queen of blogging” (west coast … although nobody seems to have heard of her). In fact, IContinue reading “PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING, THE RATES ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS THOSE OF A SUNSET STRIP STREETWALKER”

Look at how he tricked us? Who would have guessed it? Punk’d isn’t gone after all. It was all just a (shhh!) elaborative April Fool’s joke. I would like to propose a big ol’ joke for us to pull on Demi’s love-slave: How about everyone say you’ll watch the premiere and then … don’t.

I’m don’t watch it religiously, but sometimes nobody does it better than South Park. Tonight’s episode, “The Passion of the Jew” was better than any column or commentary I’ve read or heard and it was funny as hell. If you missed it, try to catch one of the reruns. In short, Cartman starts harrassing KyleContinue reading “THE SOPHISTICATED ANIMATION ALMOST MADE ME MISTAKE IT FOR A DOCUMENTARY”

You may have heard of The Razzies. They’re the annual awards “dis-honoring Hollywood’s worst” achievements in film. In many ways, it’s all a big joke. Anyone can join the “Golden Raspberry Award Foundation” and vote on the awards. They hold a ceremony every year in LA the day before the Oscars, and big repeat winnersContinue reading “I WASN’T WILLING TO SPEND ONE PENNY MORE THAN $1325!!”

Blogging “The O’Franken Factor”: No, not me. That would not be so entertaining. I leave the live blogging to the professionals … like Bunsen. He’s listening, recapping and filling all the holes Franken and his “professional” sidekick open. By the way, in all my mentions of Air America, I have completely forgotten to mention theirContinue reading “THE NEW AA”
