OK, probably nobody because it’s not that serious, but really, if a major entertainment publication like Entertainment Weekly can’t get a simple email right nor give actually good suggestions on what people “must” see/read/listen to. Take today’s “Must List” email for example, their little teaser of what will appear in the issue hitting newsstands tomorrowContinue reading “WHO SHOULD GET FIRED FOR THIS?”

Well, I finally have a job … sort of. I mean, it is a job, but it’s technically part-time and it only lasts until September 16, which means that even as I’m doing this job, I will continue job-hunting. Not to mention now, apartment hunting. And maybe one of these days soon, I’ll actually getContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: THOUGHTS, LINKS AND OTHER CRAP”

This is obviously Steve Carell week in the world of entertainment. Monday night, Carell appeared as a guest — no longer a correspondent — on The Daily Show, in an interview that was simultaneously hilarious and sweet while also probably maintaining the lowest word count of any Jon Stewart interview ever. Tonight, NBC presents aContinue reading “ALL STEVE CARELL, ALL THE TIME, AND WE’RE GOOD WITH THAT”

I’ve been to three more shows at FringeNYC, and my Gothamist theatre cohort Mallory has posted another set of reviews today, including one from yours truly about a show you absolutely must not miss but don’t have that many opportunities left to see. The Salacious Uncle Baldrick is one of the funniest things I’ve seenContinue reading “MORE FROM THE FRINGE: DON’T MISS BEING SALACIOUS“

So as I was writing the “TCM Watch” post below, I turned on the end of The Gay Divorcee which was showing as part of Fred Astaire Day. Well that was a mistake. Next thing I know, it was 2 AM and I had gotten nothing done (other than putting away the Fresh Direct deliveryContinue reading “ASTAIRE AND TCM FORCE FURTHER PROCRASTINATION — NOT A VIRTUE FOR THE UNEMPLOYED”

Here are just a bunch of random items/links/what-have-you that have been jostling around my head over the past couple days: I actually ran across this a couple weeks ago and laughed my ass off, but then I forget about it until I saw Wonkette had linked to it. It’s a mock profile by commercial directorContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: STUFF THAT JUST WON’T LEAVE MY BRAIN”

Yes, I know … I’ve failed you again. You depend on my constant reminders about the brilliance that is , and although I did do that big month ahead preview, I can’t expect you to keep going back to that. Hell, it’s not even on this main page anymore. And who might you have forgottenContinue reading “TCM WATCH: ASTAIRE, REED, GARNER, DUNNE AND BRANDO SHINE BRIGHT”

So yeah, I didn’t get to one movie this weekend. Nada. Niente. Nothing. I meant to. I even tried to. But between seeing seven Fringe shows and the other random stuff I had to do, I just couldn’t make the time to get to anything. As I mentioned previously, I’m covering the Fringe Festival forContinue reading “A WEEK(END) IN REVIEW: GOTHAMIST GOES TO THE FRINGE”

Best casting news ever? How awesome would it be if Pope John Paul II really had been a male gigolo.

Ah the The Fringe Festival, how you torture me so. Magnificently, every year for the past nine, the Fringe has helped stage a couple hundred works of theatre in a variety of forms from straight plays to musicals to interpretive dance to puppetry to performance art, helping give theatre folk from around the world aContinue reading “THE FRINGE IS HERE! THE FRINGE IS HERE! WAIT, WHY AM I EXCITED?”
