It looks like hands-down the best show anywhere on television (and probably the best show anywhere on television in years) i struggling on its last legs. Daily Variety and Hollywood Reporter and just about every other media outlet are reporting that Fox has pulled Arrested Development for the remainder of November sweeps and also cutContinue reading “THE WORST NEWS EVER!!!!!”

So if you’ve been patient with me, you might remember that I said there were going to be three interviews last week, but my move and packing got in the way. The one that was delayed is finally here today, and it’s one of my favorites because it’s with one of my favorite new people,Continue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 3 – KIMBERLEE AUERBACH”

I haven’t deliberately been so silent, but I’ve been having much difficulty settling in to my new apartment and neighborhood. The reasons are probably somewhat psychological and emotional, but they’re also logistical as certain circumstances in the new place have precluded me from being able to unpack and/or organize a bunch of my things. AndContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: I’M HAVING TROUBLE RECOVERING”

I’m moved. I live in Brooklyn now. That last sentence still doesn’t make complete sense to me, and I’m far from settled. Tuesday until now has been a blur, and there’s still a lot for me to do. I hope to get back to more regular posting this weekend or next week. I did manageContinue reading “MOVED!! (WITH SOME WEEKEND PREVIEW TOO)”

Movers arrive in 21 hours, so I don’t really have time to write much today, nor will I. My Halloween was spent huddled over my shredder — which actually was kind of fun — cleaning out my files. Yup, that means I didn’t even have the chance to go to yesterday’s parade, which is aContinue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 2 — CATHLIN BAKER”

Somehow, our rotation for Gothamist Interviews often happens at the worst possible time. Take this week: I have to move on Wednesday. I’m trying to pack-up my apartment which hasn’t gone through this packing/moving/tossing old stuff process in five years. I still need to change my addresses, turn-off utilities, and hire movers. Ugh. Point being:Continue reading “THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: NOV. DAY 1 — JEANNE FLEMING (NEW YORK’S VILLAGE HALLOWEEN PARADE)”

I just find that I can’t get overexcited about Prime, The Legend of Zorro or The Weather Man. A new Weekly Movie Guide is up at Gothamist, and I’ll make the same suggestion here that I made over there: you should go see Paradise Now, which I saw and briefly reviewed during the New YorkContinue reading “ThE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: DID SOMEBODY MENTION HALLOWEEN?”

I found an apartment. Yay! I’ll write about that more in another post when I have a bit more time. Right now, I wanted to shine my TCM-loving light on a week of don’t-miss programming: TCM’s 39 film tribute to Alfred Hitchcock! Starting tonight through Sunday, TCM is handing over every night of its programmingContinue reading “TCM WATCH: A WEEK OF HITCH TO CELEBRATE”

So as many of you know, I’ve been doing this little “Weekly Movie Guide” over at Gothamist every Thursday for, I don’t know, five or six weeks now? since Labor Day! (I didn’t realize it had been that long!) I put a lot of effort into it and it takes a while, but I kindContinue reading “SO I NEED SOME HELP (NO, NOT WITH APT OR JOB — WELL THAT TOO, BUT THAT’S NOT THE SUBJECT OF THIS POST)”

NINETEEN new releases in New York this weekend. That is an absurd number. Seven of them come from the major studios. That’s really bad news for Domino and Elizabethtown, neither of which did so well last week. But really — what’s the point? With that many new films, both big and small movies simply getContinue reading “THE WEEK(END) IN PREVIEW: MAYBE THERE ARE TOO MANY MOVIES BEING MADE”
