Want to see a pre-Felix Unger Tony Randall? The channel-to-end-all-channels — Turner Classic Movies — is revamping its schedule on Monday 5/24. From 6 AM until 8 PM, TCM will screen The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Alphabet Murders (in which Randall plays Agatha Christie’s detective extraordinaire, Hercule Poirot),Continue reading “TCM HONORS TONY RANDALL”

I’m back. From Downtown. Sitting at my desk with a sad look upon my face. Sorry I was gone so long. I’m still recovering from my Tribeca experience — a great but exhausting one that saw me get very little sleep, many injuries and plenty of headaches. I’ll write more on that later, but forContinue reading “AND NOW WE RETURN TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING”

So I guess ESPN is looking to give Pete Rose a sympathetic spin. In the “best” casting news in a long time, Tom Sizemore is going to play Pete Rose in ESPN’s movie Hustle. I actually mentioned Hustle a few weeks ago because it was announced that Peter Bogdanovich will be directing. ESPN seems toContinue reading “I GUESS THIS WAY THE GAMBLING WON’T LOOK SO BAD”

Just stopped by for a brief sec while eating my bagel, drinking my coffee and continuing the ever-increasing-in-duration attempt to focus my early-30s eyes for a little linkage. Is there really any reason why anyone would want to tune in to listen to Donald Trump pontificate on the radio? (via The Hollywood Reporter) I supposeContinue reading “I LIKE THE APPRENTICE AND ALL, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS”

Others maybe, but you … you’re still my favorite. Sadly, you may have noticed that my posts have become fewer and further between over the past week or two. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I now realize that the coming two weeks are going to be even more blog unfriendly to me thanContinue reading “I SWEAR, DEAR READER, I HAVE NOT FORSAKEN YOU”

I’ve been waiting two days to post this, and finally I can. I know I’ve done my share of railing against Quentin Tarantino in the past week or two, but as I’ve said, it’s not that I dislike his movies. If anything, this is definitely a case where it’s alright to hate the player butContinue reading “ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? KILL BILL ALMOST THE WAY IT SHOULD REALLY BE”

One of the world’s most trusted news sources — Gawker shares that title with The Daily Show in my world — reports that Elvis Mitchell may be out at the New York Times as co-chief film critic. That would mean A.O. Scott would suddenly become the main film reviewer. EWWWWWW. I guess Amanda Hesser isContinue reading “IS THIS AN ATTEMPT TO STOP BEING THE PAPER OF RECORD?”

If I don’t have a chance to post anything else today, at least I will have posted this: Original on ‘Jump Street’ case (via The Hollywood Reporter). That’s right, kids. 21 Jump Street, the show that (even moreso than Married …With Children) really defined the future of the Fox network is coming to the bigContinue reading “I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CAMEOS BY THE DELUISE BROTHERS”

ABC is pathetic. There, I said it. The network has gone through more executive changes over the past 5-10 years, it’s no wonder there has been no build-up and momentum among their development and production. The “breaking” news today, according to both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter is that ABC Entertainment President Susan Lyne hasContinue reading “THIS JUST IN: THE SONG ISN’T SO EASY AT THE ALPHABET WEB”

Oh is it ugly. Sunday night, as I stayed awake until 3 AM trying to get through all the personal things I have no longer been able to find time for, I decided to get something off my DiVo. Now, things don’t leave my DiVo without checking with me first, but why I even hadContinue reading “… AND FINISH WITH … IS UGLY STRONG ENOUGH A WORD?”
