Hamhocks And Lox Still Don’t Mix
At one particular stop on my career jitney I spent a disproportionate amount of time and an atypically large chunk of other people’s money on the late and thoroughly forgettable mashup known as FOX Family. I’ve previously mused about how we got stuck with the name despite the lame efforts of many to find a
For Once, Let Me Get Out Ahead Of This One. Some Eyes ARE Color-Blind
It occasionally still freaks me out that for as minor a footprint as I concede that I have I do indeed have a “gold card” fan base. On days when I struggle to find a topic worth musing about, I’m usually prompted by private messages from a couple of the more proactive ones to consider
Trailer And Trash.
If you ever needed proof positive that we live in a world where what matters most is the ability to create something out of nothing one only need look at HARRY POTTER. And no, I’m not referring to the skill sets they teach to him and his classmates at Hogwarts. I’m referring to the fact
No More Kings? I Just Want A Worthy Prince
A particularly aggressive Facebook friend who in my actual dealings with him is generally a decent person once again shifted into activist mode this week when he was compelled to invite everyone and anyone he remotely knew to join him at yet another “No Kings” rally. Tomorrow there will be the third such gathering of
This Is Not Your Father’s Opening Day. Be Grateful.
It’s major league baseball’s opening day, which to me is justification for a national holiday. Technically, the season had already opened last night, when the Yankees steamrolled through the Giants (and my supposed fantasy team ace Logan Webb) 7-0, despite an 0-for-5 performance with FOUR strikeouts from the defending two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge. But
Sora Losers? Only The People That Used It.
My AI skill sets have improved of late, as some of you may have noticed from the occasional graphics that grace these musings. I primarily use Copilot cuz it’s ubiquitously available and, most importantly, free, and I’ve learned how to trick the interface into allowing me to get away with a bit more bitingly satirical
Once Again, Nielsen’s Anything But Upfront
These days, I sort of put the Nielsen Company into the same recesses of my brain that I put a restaurant that at one time was one of favorite places to break bread. You know, at a time when I was a valued customer of theirs and when I had far greater financial resources to
The Last Comeback Ever?
Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King have arguably been way more valuable of late to Warner Brothers than even Bugs Bunny. King’s SEX AND THE CITY, per FORBES’ Helen Coster’s 2008 piece, earned an ambiguous “hundreds of millions of dollars” for HBO and later produced some masterful left pocket/right pocket internal dealings to the tune
Amazon MGM Completes A Hail Mary At A Very Opportune Time
It hasn’t exactly been the best of times to be part of the Amazon ecosystem of late. They had practically no presence at any in awards season, few of their TV projects have turned up on any third party measurement lists, and Amazon Fresh outright flopped. Don’t even try to get me started on THE
