MONDAY MONDAY I would prefer if you're a fast typist, hopefully with experience doing this type of thing. Work is done from your home. I'll send you the sound files to work with, around 10 minutes in length. You set the deadline. Work will end this summer, there won't be a tremendous amount of work but if it sounds like something you would want to do please email me. Payment is by Paypal only and I'll pay you right away. Thanks! Here's a classic clip from The Golden Girls as the ladies go shopping for condoms. Recognize the shopkeeper? It's none other than the great Chuck McCann.
Remember when IBM built 'Big Blue' the first computer to beat a human at chess? Now IBM is testing a computer to try to beat people at Jeopardy. If it is successful it will be a huge leap forward for artificial intelligence. It will also, presumably, make IBM relevant again. Monday,

SAD PASSING I love her quoted remark about Ester Rolle - "She doesn't do windows and she doesn't do comedy." I always thought Rolle was weak at comedy as well, hopelessly miscast but beloved none the less. Sunday,

FRIDAY STUFF John Stahl has some new bite sized TV on DVD reviews - X-Men Animated Volume 1 and a Britcom Pulling. We try before YOU buy!
Offhand, I can think of two actors that were in bands that didn't want people to know it was them up there playing - Cher in Black Rose (pretty hard to mistake her voice for anyone else) and Billy Mumy (Lost In Space) from Barnes & Barnes.
New ABC show The Unusuals is a stiff. Hardly a big surprise, who would watch a show called The Unusuals no matter how good it was? Reminds me when I was doing marketing for the motion picture industry and two films in particular that I thought were great - The Shawshank Redemption and Glengarry Glen Ross - I knew wouldn't stand a chance at the box office because the titles were too uncomfortable for most people to say out loud.

April 24, 2009 - 11:06am PATTY, LAVERN & MAXENE I was fascinated with music of the World War II era growing up in the 1970s, swept up in the nostalgia boom that was going on at the time no doubt. The Andrews Sisters were three of the brightest stars of the 1940s, scoring big not only on vinyl but in motion pictures with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as well. LaVerne Andrews (in the center) died in 1967 at age 55 and the other 2 sisters had a rocky relationship throughout in the 1970s even though a hit broadway show Over Here! was built mounted them in 1974. They had a serious falling out after that and never reconciled. Maxene is on the right, she died in 1995; Patty, the lead singer, is still alive, the last I saw of her was as a judge on The Gong Show in the late-1970s. Thursday,

EARTH DAY No offense to out Catholic friends but it always amazes me that Catholic League president William Donohue can openly criticize anyone - glass houses and all. Now he's attacking Ron 'Opie' Howard for his sequel to The Da Vinci Code. "Howard must be delusional if he thinks Vatican officials are going to like his propaganda -- they denied him the right to film on their grounds. Moreover, we know from a Canadian priest who hung out with Howard's crew last summer in Rome (dressed in civilian clothes) just how much they hate Catholicism. It's time to stop the lies and come clean." Way to promote a movie probably no one wants to see. Speaking of religious zealots:
And I don't know WHAT to make of this but it's cute as hell.
Look at the loser lineup for NBC's upcoming'reality' show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!: supermodel Janice Dickinson, Geraldo Rivera, Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (The Hills) and possibly former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Sounds like a real snoozefest. NBC has cancelled Kings as of now replaced with reruns of Law & Order: SVU. Kings will return in June to air already filmed episodes. Wednesday,

"The NYC Emmys was held at the Zigfeild Theater on May 6th, these awards were given out to the TV programs that aired in the NYC area from January 1, 1958 to February 28, 1959. Three Stooges Funhouse lost out to WRCA TV 4's Hi Mom which was then hosted by the series first host/performer and instructor Shari Lewis. Ms. Lewis also won an emmy for 'Most Outstanding Female Personality.'

TUESDAY STUFF Mark Evanier is collecting comics - for Len Wein that is. The famed comic book scribe lost all of his possessions in a home fire so comic collectors from all over are donating their copies of Len's books to restore his collection. Tuesday,

TV OR NOT TV
Here's a rarity - Frank Sinatra croons his way through a 1960's commercial for a car dealership in Chicago; Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. also cut radio spots for Pete Epsteen Pontiac. Why? It was rumored that mob money was behind the deal. Friday,

NEW DVD REVIEW What could have been just a neat gimmick becomes an extremely effective storytelling tool. Couple that with a robust, lean script and some incredibly naturalistic performances and you've got one hell of a film. Writer / director Adam Rifkin exposes "unwitting exhibitionists" who, because they don't see the big picture the passive cameras capture, become unwitting pawns plunged into desperate circumstances by treacherous temptations and life's random events. It may take a while to get into the groove but once this joint gets underway it draws you along into its disturbing, voyeuristic odyssey. It's not all heavy. Part Clerks, part No Country for Old Men, this is one of the most invigorating, engrossing movies I've seen in a long time - a devastating portrait of seriously flawed individuals caught seemingly unnoticed in their all too public malfeasance. There's a damn good reason why this film racked up remarkable reviews from hard to please critics and walked away with numerous film festival awards. Look is a slow boiling pot right up until the abrupt ending - a harsh disconnect with an unconscionable lack of resolution. But then, that's life, eh? This is one must see motion picture - the DVD offers a behind the scenes peak, an audio commentary with director Rifkin and others, deleted scenes, outtakes and more. Friday,

Showtime has renewed The Tudors for a fourth and final season - great news, what a show! Everyone loves The Carol Burnett Show and what could be funnier than outtakes from that program? I've thrown this one up before but it's just too hilarious to watch Vicki Lawrence breaking up Carol in a Family sketch.
Watched Milk last night - great movie but not as good as the documentary The Times of Harvey Milk which did a remarkable job of reflecting that era, helped no doubt because it was made in 1983. Speaking of outtakes here are some outrageous game show idiots.
Convinced that people are laughing at you? Then you need the ultimate TV lover's ringtone - a laugh track. Tuesday,

Offered without comment:
I saw a funny editorial cartoon the other day - doctors are preparing to operate on a guy and one of the technicians whispers to the patient, "I hope he fails!" Monday,

Watch below as Billy Bob Thorton has a bit of a slow moving meltdown on this Canadian broadcast. Seems the actor has a band he plays with but hasn't learned a darn thing from his decades of plugging movies - he doesn't want people to know Billy Bob Thorton is in the group. Then again, anyone who loved Famous Monsters of Filmland - as I did - can't be all bad.

Bob Huggins has good news for lovers of 1950's kid shows: "I was reading your page on the early science fiction series Johnny Jupiter and wanted to let you know that an episode from this rare-to-see series has surfaced on DVD.
