So I’m actually a week behind on this, but if you missed the new show Lost, ABC is giving you a chance to catch-up. Tonight at 10 PM is the second hour, i.e., part 2 of the “Pilot.” Missing one hour isn’t the biggest deal, and you can always head over to TWoP and readContinue reading “DIVO ALERT: DON’T BE LOST AGAIN”

Wow. I just saw this via Defamer and was absolutely shocked: Anne Bancroft died today at the age of 73. I must have missed or simply forgotten the news that she had cancer. Even though I’m sure he had time to prepare, I’m sure this is a devastating day for her husband, Mel Brooks —Continue reading “R.I.P. ANNE”

This post started as something else: a description of my “Monday Movie Marathon,” or at least my attempt at one. I’ve been trying to enjoy at least a little bit of my unemployment, but my brain doesn’t seem to work that way — I’m too stressed about finding work and feel like I should beContinue reading “THE LESSONS OF LAYER CAKE AS THEY RELATE TO JAMES BOND”

I really thought I had this down, the whole posting at least once a (week)day thing again. Oh well, so I missed yesterday. Big deal. I had a good excuse (which will be in the next post). But first, all these random bits kept happening or popping to mind this weekend. For instance: ON SaturdayContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY: TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK — TV, TONY AND CNN”

Wow. This is how out of it I’ve been; what a lost month May was. The Tonys are this Sunday. That annual night where the world of Broadway tries to pretend that it is still a major part of this country’s cultural landscape by showcasing how much basically mediocre theater one can see at $100Continue reading “WHAT’S HER NAME? TONY YOU SAY? A BROADWAY RANT AND A FRINGE PLUG”

Unemployment is fascinating. On the one hand, I feel like I need to be getting up and doing things: writing, contacting people about work, looking for freelance things, etc. It’s hard for me to do that in my apartment because of that occasional lack of discipline. I mean, I’m as able to multi-task as muchContinue reading “RANDOM THOUGHTS OF NOT-A-WHOLE-LOT: SPELLING BEES, GEEKS AND STAR WARS”

OK, so it’s a new month, new stuff is happening in life, new outlook, new new new … we’re just going to leave behind that little nasty month o’ May with it’s dental issues and computer problems and iPod crashing and lack of employment … well, that hasn’t been fixed yet, but we’re working onContinue reading “WE’RE JUST GOING TO PRETEND MAY NEVER HAPPENED: HELLO JUNE”

And I was so proud of regularly contributing to this blog, too. Well, I really do plan a return to whatever it is I regularly do in this space. I mean, did anyone pay attention to the television upfronts and the new fall schedule last week. Way to go NBC! If you want to beContinue reading “RUMORS OF MY SLIDE INTO DEPRESSION (LIKELY STARTED HERE) HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT EXAGERRATED (PROBABLY BY ME)”

OK, so maybe I’m starting to feel a little better, even if Apple is pissing me off with this delay fixing my laptop. I keep getting different answers from them. Very annoying. Hopefully all will be good. Last night helped. Gothamist’s Laughable Hype last night was absolutely fantastic. Talk about needing some laughs, and boyContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: MAY DAY 3 – DALMAR JAMES”

So this week in New York are the TV upfronts — where all the networks reveal to advertisers and the world at large what their fall schedules are going to look like. We get to hear all about the new shows coming and the unfortunates that have recently been cancelled. So it only makes senseContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: MAY DAY 2 – NIGHT AGENCY”
