Over on the great Pamie.com blog, Pamie’s east-coast male co-blogger Dan posted a little ditty about movies he finds overrated and how he hates the disapproving looks and comments he receives from friends who can’t understand why he doesn’t enjoy what they found to be a masterpiece. I would tend to disagree with Dan onContinue reading “THE WHOLE CONVERSATION IS PROBABLY OVERRATED”

According to this morning’s Cynopsis’ email newsletter (6th item), Peter Bogdanovich’s next “film” will be Hustle. What is Hustle you ask? It seems to be the story of Pete Rose’s gambling life according to Major League Baseball. Oh, and I guess he might shoot it on film, but it’s actually a TV movie made forContinue reading “MAYBE HE SHOULD STOP WEARING THE ASCOT”

Wednesdays from 10:00-11:30 PM on Comedy Central might just be the funniest 90 minutes of television. Ever. Starting with the revitalized South Park and ending with the consistently brilliant The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, those two half-hours alone present some of the best satire and criticism presented anywhere. But I must admit that untilContinue reading “NOT NEW NEWS EXCEPT FOR SOME REASON TO ME: DAVE CHAPPELLE IS THE FUNNIEST MOTHER(BEEEEP)ER ON TELEVISION”

I’m still somewhat time-challenged this week, but I wanted to pass along a bit of important news. Remember way back when, in days of yore, when this blog was just starting? That’s right, just about a month ago. And I posted a little blurb about the upcoming 3rd Annual Tribeca Film Festival and how youContinue reading “LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN: GET LOST IN THE TRIANGLE”

Before I started this blog a little over a month ago, a friend of mine told me blogging was addictive. I had already experienced the need to read the 20-50 blogs I had discovered on a daily basis. I mean, other than The Daily Show, The Blogosphere is by far our most trusted news source.Continue reading “IT’S LIKE AN ADDICTION, AND NOW I HAVE THE DTs”

Oy, Mondays. And tonight is the first night of Passover which means … oh wait … I’m not the religious. So basically it means I get overrun with guilt at not being more religious and more observant of millenia-old Jewish traditions such as not eating any form of grain and following extra-stringent kosher for passoverContinue reading “PERFECTLY HARMLESS — NOTHING TO SEE HERE”

I’m not afraid. I took the challenge that the cinetrix threw my way. (Yes, yes … it’s ALL about me!) I got six out of 10 on The Guardian’s “All the Reel Girls” quiz, which apparently means the following: Elder sister. You’re keen to embrace the history of cinema from a woman’s perspective, but something’sContinue reading “6 OUT OF 10 MAKES ME AN ELDER SISTER!”

See, I’m nowheer near as media-savvy as most of the NYC blogger community, so I don’t actually read every single magazine that hits the newsstands, and I’m ashamed to say that I’m rarely aware of what may hit the cover of Paper. So I have to thank Lindsay Lindsayism for alerting me to keep watchContinue reading “I STILL LOVE THE SIMPLE, SEXY GLASSES LOOK”

I hate being scooped on big important film happenings in the NYC area by bloggers in Boston, but that’s exactly what’s happened today. I know the Cinetrix is a better writer than I and obviously knows more about film, but come on; I can read a calendar as well as anyone, and An Evening WithContinue reading “I HOPE I DON’T LOSE MY RESIDENCY STATUS FOR THIS”

If it weren’t for the links I get from TMFTML, I would be completely oblivious to all the truly important news of the day. For instance, I didn’t realize that I was not worshipping the real albeit “unofficial queen of blogging” (west coast … although nobody seems to have heard of her). In fact, IContinue reading “PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING, THE RATES ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS THOSE OF A SUNSET STRIP STREETWALKER”
