So you may have noticed that I didn’t write anything about the Emmys. As cinetrix mentioned yesterday, it’s a total cliche to write posts about why one isn’t writing posts, yet I find myself spiraling further and further into a deep dark pit of cliche everyday, so why not continue the trend. As I mentionedContinue reading “YET ANOTHER QUICK NOTE ABOUT THE BEST SHOW YOU’RE NOT WATCHING”

OK, not sure what happened, but this post was supposed to go up YESTERDAY. I had it ready to go, and Typepad should have automatically published it around 11 AM, but for some reason it didn’t. Not that it really matters. I’m guessing most people who read this blog also read Gothamist. Anyway, whatever. TheContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: SEPT. DAY 2 — BOB TUSCHMAN”

Another month, another series of Gothamist Interviews, and the ones we’re doing for September are a great group starting today with a chat I had (just yesterday, in fact) with Liev Schreiber. target=”_blank”>Schreiber is one of today’s most talented actors working in both film and theater. His recent performance on Broadway as Ricky Roma inContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: SEPT. DAY 1 — LIEV SCHREIBER”

These weeks are flying by, and I’m not actually getting to anything. I did have a bit of a DiVo’d-from-TCM day last Sunday where I watched, among other things, the absolutely brilliant Preston Sturges comedy The Palm Beach Story. Does anybody anywhere ever write lines like as smart, witty and biting as Sturges once did?Continue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: TOO MANY NEW RELEASES”

Could we please just slow the hell down. Seriously. August flew by. September is nearly half over. And I really can’t tolerate this anymore, so someone just put a little bit of freeze on the timeline if you could. I’d appreciate it. Danke. No, the “Gothamist Movie Guide” does not take me an entire weekContinue reading “AARON GETS PERSONAL – WHERE HAVE I BEEN?”

No time for anything. I’ve been meaning to put up a post all week about the event I’m working on (which starts tomorrow) and haven’t even had time to do that. I didn’t even have time to do a weekly preview, but I did anyway. I was doing it until 5 AM today before realizingContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: FALLING ASLEEP AT THE KEYBOARD”

I don’t have a lot of time as I’m on my way out to Newport, RI for a wedding this weekend. Don’t you love weddings planned on holiday weekends? I sure as hell do. You know, people often say they schedule their weddings on a holiday weekend in order to be considerate of their guests,Continue reading “TCM WATCH: NEW MONTH — HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL POWELL”

I’ve pretty much stayed away from getting into any discussions about Hurrican Katrina and its aftermath for a few reasons: First, I don’t really think I have anything to add to the debate because you know, there really isn’t, or at least shouldn’t be, any debate. What has happened there is unimaginable, and all ofContinue reading “TWO CENTS (AND NOT MUCH MORE) ON THE GULF COAST”

Not only did I manage to write a weekend/weekly preview this week, I got it done early. (And by early I mean 4:30 AM.) However, you can’t read it here. Why you ask? Because it’s up over at Gothamist. I’ve written their weekly “Movie Guide” this week, and I may or may/not continue to doContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: IT HAS A NEW HOME, AT LEAST THIS WEEK”

Final Fringe Festival post is up over at Gothamist. Mallory reviews two last shows — Manatee and Ratface — and also talks a little about the winners. (Here’s a link to the full list.) I have to admit that I’m shocked at an Outstanding Play mention for Go-Go Kitty, Go! which was fun and allContinue reading “THE END OF THE (2005) FRINGE!”
