Last week I posted a little congratulations to my old friend, the wonderful hopefully-soon-to-be-discovered-by-the-masses Fay Masterson for being cast in ABC’s planned spinoff of The Practice. I also mentioned in that space that I used to be a really big fan of David E. Kelley. I’ll go as far to say I was damn jealousContinue reading “IT’S TIME FOR AN INTERVENTION”

For all of you big WLIB 1190 AM fans in the New York area, I’m sorry to report that today at Noon, the music will be going away, but it’s for a very good reason. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, today is the premiere of the Air America Radio Network, kicking off withContinue reading “GOODBYE REGGAE, HELLO PUNDITS”

Nice! I guess there are some in Iraq who want to celebrate 11-years since Somalia, and even do one “better.” To use a cliche … it’s hearts and minds, people. Hearts and minds.

I saw a really disturbing program on MTV this weekend: I Want a Famous Face. I really shouldn’t be surprised. This is just a natural progression of MTV shows that started with Fanatic, continued through Becoming and Crib Crashers and has now reached this point. I suppose with the success of a show like ExtremeContinue reading “WHAT’S NEXT … ACTUAL BODILY POSSESSION?”

The show is called Will & Grace so how the hell does the “Grace” half of the title miss the last three episodes of the season. I’ve hated this show for at least the last two years now for a very simple reason: it’s not funny. Maybe that’s in part because the title characters areContinue reading “WILL & … ZZZZZZZZZZ”

Opening disclaimer: I am so happy with my new, albeit temporary, place of employment. It’s just such a better situation than my regular job which gives me Office Space flashbacks on a daily basis. So I’m really not complaining. BUT (like you didn’t know that was coming), it has completely affected my blogging ability. ThereContinue reading “IF IT WEREN’T SO GREAT, THE “NEW JOB” WOULD BE RUINING MY LIFE”

I have issues. Many are age-related as in there’s no way I can be as old as I am. I was telling someone yesterday about my best friend who is about a year-and-a-half older than me but easily a good 10 years more mature. I’m sure my ridiculous TV addiction is in some way attributableContinue reading “DOES THIS MEAN I’M GROWING UP? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

The big casting news of the day according to the trades (via Yahoo!) seems to be that Jack Black will star opposite Naomi Watts in Peter Jackson’s new version of the ape epic King Kong. Black will play the character who wants to capture Kong and exhibit him in New York. At first glance, IContinue reading “NOT NECESSARILY SO STRANGE”

Sadly, as expected, I have not been able to attend that many of the movies at New Directors/New Films this year, and while I hope to get to at least a couple more before the fest is over, it may not be possible. I have seen two films though, and I thought I’d give someContinue reading “NEW, BUT NOT SO NEW”

From Meadow to Heidi, let’s all congratulate Jamie-Lynn DiScala on her big TV-movie premiere tonight. I didn’t think there was much that would actually make me want to watch a TV-movie about Heidi Fleiss, but thank you USA for not just making a completely unnecessary piece of television, but casting it with one of theContinue reading “TRASH TV PICK-OF-THE-NIGHT”
