I’m nowhere near as good at this as TMFTML, but … “Of course, a woman must attract a man’s attention, but not so much as to overstep norms and arouse not business-like but only animal instincts.”

First of all, I’m a registered democrat, and I sit firmly on the left side of that central divide, albeit not teetering on the edge ready to fall-off the seesaw. I voted for Gore, I plan to vote for Kerry, and the current administration utterly terrifies me. With that in mind, watching the coverage ofContinue reading “I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M MOVED TO WRITE THIS POST, BUT NEVERTHELESS, R.I.P. GIPPER”

I wouldn’t believe it generally, but sometimes I suppose I can be far more cynical than necessary. I realize I’ve suddenly been writing (relatively) a lot about the Tony Awards, and considering that said prize covers an even smaller amount of important theater than the Oscars cover film, I almost feel like I’ve been mentioningContinue reading “WHO KNEW ANTOINETTE LIKED THE FULL PUPPET NUDITY?”

Not sure how I missed it for so long, but if you want to read some smart writing about film (debateable since you’re presently visiting this site), you should definitely check out The High Sign. I found it today thanks to Cynthia, who recommended the site’s review of Troy, which I should note is cleverlyContinue reading “MISCELLANEOUS MISCELLANY”

I’m not sure how I missed this one. Better yet, I’m not sure how everyone missed such casting news. I just happened upon it by accident and then I scoured all the blogs that would know. I must believe that had it not been for his bandwidth issues, Uncle Grambo would have been all overContinue reading “THE FIFTH SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE: FIRST THE EAST VILLAGE, NOW RENT — GENTRIFIED”

Geez, were the cinetrix and Filmbrain sitting around watching Variety in anticipation of the big breaking news? Both of them posted last night (as did The Movie Blog) last night … not long after the news hit the Variety web site. To be fair, though, those kings of inside indie info, the indieWire Insider, hadContinue reading “BIG NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!”

Can this be true? It comes from Star Magazine (via iWon), so chances are a solid 50-50, but is Jake Gyllenhaal the final answer as to who will next don the most famous of all superhero tights and a big red S? Does Toby Maguire’s almost-replacement as Peter Parker have enough to masquerade himself withContinue reading “YOU SURVIVE ONE LITTLE GLOBAL WARMING INFLICTED ICE AGE AND SUDDENLY YOU’RE SUPERMAN?”

I don’t know about you, but I’m more than a little nervous about today’s announcement that Mel Karmazin is leaving Viacom and being replaced by two-headed monster Tom Freston and Les Moonves. I can only hope that Freston is there to counterbalance the former-actor Moonves, but as evidenced whenever he makes public appearances, Les isContinue reading “LES IS NOT MORE”

Obviously the big news in the land must be that is Julia Roberts is pregnant with twins. I was fascinated to see no mention of Julia’s husband Danny Moder in the story anywhere, however AP doesn’t mind reporting that the twins will be a boy and a girl. Considering that Roberts is apparently only “nineContinue reading “OBVIOUSLY REPORTED BY THE STAR MAGAZINE SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT”

Tonight is as good a time as any to discover the greatness of Turner Classic Movies. With the beginning of each month comes a new featured star, and starting tonight, TCM dedicates June to the great Cary Grant starting with a brand new documentary about his life called Cary Grant: A Class Apart followed byContinue reading “TCM WATCH: A DAMN GOOD REASON TO NOT TOUCH THAT DIAL”
