You think this thing could jump a canyon? (Photo from bigchuckandliljohn.com)
If you've been reading the obituaries for Evel Knievel, you may have come across passages like this one, from the Associated Press:

"Walk Hard," "30 Rock," "Earl"

November 30, 2007

Went to a preview of "Walk Hard," the new John C. Reilly movie, last night because Reilly will be in Cleveland for a promotional event and interviews next week. I'm a fan both of Reilly and of Judd Apatow, whose empire is behind the movie, so — without going into a full review here — [...]

How About a Post-Strike Writers TV Special?

November 29, 2007

There are so many videos being posted by striking writers, some enterprising entity (Comedy Central, hello!) should follow up the strike with an TV special collecting the best of the clips. I've already mentioned the stuff from "The Office," and here's an item from Bob Kushell of "Samantha Who?" (I found it via Deadline Hollywood [...]

"Pushing Daisies": A Little Hitch

November 28, 2007

I'll post at greater length when I am done watching tonight's episode. But after seeing Molly Shannon being attacked by the birds, I couldn't help but think of how much they'd made her look like Tippi Hedren even before that scene. But for some comparison, here's a publicity photo of Hedren in "The Birds."

TV Love Notes (Updated)

November 28, 2007

UPDATES below.
I thought the kiss between Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves looked a little warm last night. And Extra! may know why, according to this press release:
“Extra” can confirm that “Dancing with the Stars” winner Helio Castroneves broke off his engagement. Helio spoke to “Extra” moments after his appearance on “The View” this morning where [...]

"Bones"

November 28, 2007

Hang all the mistletoe, I'm gonna get to know you better.

OK, not for a minute did I buy all the maneuvering and covering up that allowed the Brennan family Christmas. But the much anticipated Brennan-Booth kiss was pretty good, especially in the way it went from an uncomfortable joke on Brennan and [...]

"Dancing With the Stars": Scoring Rules for the Finale

November 27, 2007

I've been seeing some things referring to the judges' having the final say. Yes and no. The judges will cast the final votes, but the viewers will still carry a lot of weight. Here's the official explanation of how it works:
On Tuesday, November 27 (the "Finale Episode"), the couple who received the lowest score on [...]

"Dancing With the Stars" Monday

November 26, 2007

I’m hoping that (the winning team) is Mel and I, but I’m not sure that is going to happen. History shows it’s either a cute man or somebody with a huge fan base and I think Marie has both Helio and Mel’s fan base combined times five.

Christmas Is All Around

November 23, 2007

I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my toes. (Feel it in my toes.)
Well, the bride and I did not do the 4 a.m. thing at local stores but we were out and about by about 7. And had the expected mix of successful shopping and mental screaming of "THIS IS MADNESS! [...]
