When I really think about it, I’d say Woody Allen has had one hell of a major impact on my life. His films, books, one-liners, even his personal style, I’ve assimilated it all into my gestalt like some borsht-y Borg.
Seems like Chuck Lorre doesn’t know when to stop beating a dead horse. After watching tonight’s episode of Two and a Half Men, which was even more criminally devoid of humor than usual, I can officially pronounce the show EQUUS MORTIS!
Two weeks ago, it was ‘teased’ in the coming attractions that Rick Petko might be leaving OCC to join up with his old buddies at Paul Jr. Designs. Being a big fan of Slick Rick, I was definitely looking forward to this week’s episode. I think it’d be great to get the Rick-ster back in the fold. Maybe then Discovery Channel could just concentrate on PJD and finally turn the page on that walrus-mustachioed blowhard.
Is her career really over? Or will some new E! channel iteration capture the non-imaginations of the biscuit-head patrol. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that her ’15 minutes’ are up.
While promoting his recent film ‘Moneyball’ in Tokyo, Brad Pitt had some interesting thoughts on the value of happiness…
“Before you know it, the show will be back on the air with twice as many viewers,” said a ‘source’ close to the show.
Wave your gold statuettes in the mothertruckin’ air, and wave em’ like they were based on a selection process that was remotely a meritocracy rather than a labyrinthine web of politics and stupid old people bullshit! (Wait, that’s not how the song goes?) SCREW IT, IT’S OSCAR TIME!!!
“HARDCORE PAWN” is a new show on TruTv about a pawnshop in Detroit that seems to be the size of a football field. It is run by a guy named Les Gold, his son Seth and a few other family members. There are lots of employees scattered about that appear to be missing a chromosone or two and a troop of burly black security guards whose job it is to throw out any customer that gets out of hand – which appears to be every other patron
True Grit, the remake of the 1969 original starring the legendary John Wayne in his only Oscar-winning performance and a retelling of the 1968 Charles Portis novel, is an actively solid effort by Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men). In the best possible way, the Coens have crafted a bare bones western tale of vengeance, retribution, and redemption with a top notch cast from top to bottom.
As a movie lover, I find myself torn between being terribly frustrated at squandered potential and cutting movies and their makers enormous amounts of slack for having ambition. There’s enough shared ground in that Venn diagram—ambitious movies that succeed—that the outlying, non-shared parts aren’t too annoying, but periodically I see a movie and go “Movie . . . why can’t you have succeeded in your aims?” One such example is Eddie and the Cruisers.
