OK, Superfans. It’s Apparently Now Up To You.
It hasn’t exactly been a bellweather summer for the House of Mouse. Yeah, TOY STORY 5 had a moment but in hindsight its success was neither as extended nor as monetarily monumental as what we’ve seen from just about everything at Universal old and new and even what we just got from SPIDER-MAN that Sony
Blue Skies And Pigeons Were Meant For Each Other
With all of the other distractions I’ve been experiencing of late–and I don’t need to regurgitate how it spiraled out of control yesterday–I completely missed the fact that last Friday night the USA Network debuted a brand new spanking new scripted original, the second of its eight episodes actually premiering tonight at 10 PM ET
Only The Year Has Changed. Just Not My Mood.
Happy Birthday To Me. Yay. Sorry, if you were expecting positivity and gratitude today, you’ve definitely landed on the wrong URL. Then again, if you’re a regular reader you’d probably have known that already. I mean, if you remember my musings from last year, two years ago and three years ago I wasn’t exactly brimming
Hey, Fellow “Creators”. We’re More Like Uncle Floyd Than Mr. Beast
I suppose I could legitimately claim to being a “content creator” just like so many far younger folk seem to similarly self-identify. After all, I’ve been doing this now for pretty much the lion’s share of 66 months and between this and our sister site THE DOUBLE OVERTIME have authored roughly 3000 of these musings.
Clearly, Any Schmo Can Run For Office. What Stopped You?
Maybe it’s all those state fairs and all those fried Oreos that’s scrambling the minds of Midwesterners this summer. Or maybe it’s just the fact the political factions of states like Minnesota and Wisconsin really identify with and love Billy Joel’s classic lament “I Go To Extremes”. Honestly, I’m at more of a loss than
A League–And A Series–Of Their Own.
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site THE DOUBLE OVERTIME. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus occasional essays on business and technology. It was not a bad weekend at all for females who am comfortable with bats and balls. And no, smartass, I don’t mean either
Get Ready For AI-Witness News
For a seasoned and passionate TV news afficiando this past week’s headlines have been more than a little gut-wrenching. I admit I got a tad emotional when I saw this item from THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS’ Brian Niemietz burn up my timeline: News anchor Kaity Tong is retiring from PIX11 after nearly 35 years of
The 800 Pound Guerrila Is Hungry Once More
Those of you who actually know me know full well I have a love/hate relationship with Nielsen. Over the decades I’ve been directly or indirectly responsbile for putting close to a billion dollars in contracts into their coiffeurs, and those that empowered me to deal with them put a lot more in theirs. And at
It’s A Good Day In LA Again
I used to watch an awful lot of local morning TV news. I also used to be a LOT heavier and had a spouse who was absolutely addicted to it–not to mention a few other far worse substances and vices. Some habits die harder than others, I suppose. Fact is, like so many of those
