Still Funny A.F.
I grew up fearing the year 1984; thank you, George Orwell and my high school English teachers. But instead of utter dystopia we got a memorable Apple commercial that utterly trashed the eponymous novel that drove my angst, a shockingly entertaining race for the National League Eastern Division title between the Mets and Cubs, neither
Playing Hard To Get Might Yet Pay Off
Ah, Sharileh, you little minx. Just when you’ve sort of convinced most observers you had actually moved on with your life and had set things up to make a go of it for a while, you turn around yesterday and crank things up again with the suitor you had jilted mere weeks ago. Per BLOOMBERG’s
Go Get ‘Em, Roomie!
Of all of the news that’s been eminating of late from the smouldering remains of the dumpster fire Shari Redstone’s obstinance has turned Paramount Global into, none was as encouraging as what was widely reported yesterday, including THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER’s Erik Hayden: Barry Diller is taking a look at Paramount Global.

Bring On The Trump Movie. Reality Doesn’t Seem To Matter.

This Debate Will Be Watched By Millions. And Might Influence Dozens.
Yeah, I suppose it’s my civic duty to at least pay attention to what will transpire tonight in Atlanta. You know, that debate thing. If you take the Associated Press at face value, and with the state of journalism these days one almost doesn’t have a choice, at least there will be a sizable audience
They Couldn’t Bear To Make Us Wait
The braintrust at FX has seemed to have its finger on the pulse of exactly what a great deal of America wants and needs for decades. Never has that intuitive flair been more in evidence than this week. For weeks, they were set on a Thursday, June 27th release date for Season 3 of THE
