Have A Great Weekend. Unless, Of Course, You Work For Yosemite Zas
For the most part, I truly do envy those that are fortunate enough to still be working in positions of importance in media. Considering where I am at this particular moment, that envy escalates greatly. There’s only so much impact and pleasure one can get from what I do, and lately even those sporadic moments
G, Here’s A Pitch You May Have Not Considered To Deal With Tanking
The NBA season resumes tonight after a six-day sabbatical with a robust slate of ten games, including a highly anticipated litmus test for the league’s surprisingly front-running Detroit Pistons in both the spotlight and crosshairs of Madison Square Garden for a globally streamed showdown with league management and domestic media rights owners’ pre-season favorite for
Even A Lame Duck Can Put Up A Fight
Stephen Colbert returned to original episodes Monday night, which to my DVR was particularly good news. One of the biggest reasons I maintain a subscription to a traditional MVPD, aside from the increasingly pious hope that I might yet again be hired to consult for them, is to record and play back late night talk
Where Do I Begin? To Tell The Story Of How Vapid A Show Can Be
I came of age in the ’70s, so I do tend to take my lead from time to time from the cultural influences of that era. And yesterday being what it was in the obviously not climate-affected urban sprawl I call home, I was in need of some sort of distraction, and unlike most days
A Bridgerton Too Far?
I sure hope your Valentine’s Day was a lot more satisfying than mine. Once again, it was reduced to a virtual experience for me, long after both COVID and my alibi for a marriage had their expiration dates. At least there’s someone in my life who actually wished that to me and meant it, which
They’re Still Raking In Tons Of D-Oh!
There’s honestly not a lot that’s the same about the world as it was in the winter of 1989. Per MACROTRENDS, gas was $1.o3 a gallon. Today–if you’re lucky and obviously not in California–it’s $3.20. A dozen eggs, even with all of the “winning” we’ve experienced in the last 13 months, are still $2.86–and yes,

This Time, The Messenger Shot Itself
For as much as the people I admire so much on the creative side of the entertainment industry may try to contend that they deal with more rejection than anyone else I would merely ask them to visualize themselves in my role, since the ones skilled in the Strasberg method tend to be able to
What A Dummy? You Bet. And Not Just Him.
Let me be crystal clear; I don’t travel in the same circles as Casey Wasserman does. For one, my pop-pop ran a neighborhood pharmacy, not a legendary talent agency that eventually wound up controlling Universal Studios. For another, my skill sets are anything but in demand in the sector of the inustry where his own
