You know what is a marvelous phenomenon within entertainment/celebrity news these days? The fact that the thoughts, feelings and lives of Jessica Simpson and hubby Nick Lachey seem to be important news. Yes, we the masses may care about Brad and Jen’s split, but what we really want to know is what do Jessica andContinue reading “WHY THEIR LOVE WILL LAST”

I meant to mention this last week, but for awhile now, Fox has been promoting the “two night, four hour premiere” of the new season of 24, which started last night. For some reason, this annoyed the hell out of me. Here’s a show that progresses in what’s supposed to be real time. If youContinue reading “PREMIERES ONLY HAPPEN ONCE”

Anyone watch last night’s People’s Choice Awards? Yeah, me neither. But did you see the results? “‘Fahrenheit,’ ‘Passion’ Win People’s Choice Awrds”, the AP news headline reads. Further examination of the story is even more interesting as “‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ was named best film and ‘The Passion of The Christ’ best film drama.” The People’s ChoiceContinue reading “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T USE AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM”

Well, we can assume we now know somewhat how the Oscars will look, and chances are at least one incredibly undeserving nominee will get a nod for direction. As reported everywhere (lets go with indieWIRE; they’re nice) yesterday, the DGA announced the nominees for their annual award. They include Martin Scorsese for The Aviator, AlexanderContinue reading “ARE YOU KIDDING ME DGA?”

Thanks to everyone who seemed to think I was deathly ill on Wednesday. That wasn’t exactly the case. I was actually fine by the time I wrote that post in the afternoon … at least physically. Yesterday, on the other hand was a different matter, which is why I’m only now getting around to mentioningContinue reading “I’M NOT THAT SICK: A LITTLE RED SHOES OR TAXI DRIVER MIGHT HELP, ALTHOUGH UFF COULD MAKE THINGS WORSE”

I woke up this morning chilled, shivering almost, with this headache and a bubble in my chest (well, that’s probably enough detail), feeling somewhat dazed. That’s also a good physical representation of what my brain has been doing today, specifically, being able to focus on anything. My ADD seems to be in full-force as wheneverContinue reading “THE NAME OF THIS SITE BECOMES EVEN MORE RELEVANT”

I don’t make resolutions, actually. I formulate goals. Granted, most of my goals tend to be so broad that they become unattainable goals, which really makes them synonymous with resolutions. But that’s not really here nor there now, is it? Last year, I watched 189 movies. That number doesn’t indicate “new” movies or films seenContinue reading “RESOLUTIONS: TO BE LESS LAZY, BUT THAT MAY NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK”

Yes, the first rule of writing anything on a computer is to save, save, save. Well, January 3 has not been too kind to me so far, and the lovely, fascinating (it could happen!), long post I was just about 2/3 of the way through has somehow disappeared. I’m not even sure why. The computerContinue reading “HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ME: THIS ISN’T LOOKING GOOD”

Sorry to disappear like that this week. When I was last here on Monday, I gave you the top 10 (13, really) TV series of the year, and promised a return to discuss a few more that aren’t the best-of-the-best, but deserve mention. But it’s been a weird week with way too much death inContinue reading “GOODBYE 2004 — NICE KNOWING YA, BUT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BIRTH OF YOUR KID TONIGHT”

I get really annoyed whenever I hear people talk about how there’s nothing but crap on television. You change a couple words in that sentence, and it’s fine: say, there’s a lot of crap on TV, and I’ve got no problem, but “nothing but”? Sorry, you’re just watching the wrong things, and obviously it’s myContinue reading “THE BEST TV OF 2004: IF YOU SAY THERE’S NOTHING GOOD ON, YOU’RE JUST NOT WATCHING THE RIGHT THINGS”
