It's episode 4 of season 3 of MDL..and as bad as the show has been before, the wheels really come off this week. Was everything scripted? Chad and his dog proposal! Josh goes to a farm! Madison falls into a pool! Total scripted fuckery. Once again, Madison Hildebrand is searching for homes for his wealthy client Camilo the Hut. Madison heads to Calabasas, which he helpfully notes is six miles from...
Watched it the other night, rented from Netflix. Shirley Temple has 2 Daddys! Standardized testing mocked! Buddy Ebsen dances at the Codfish Ball with Shirley Temple! A great film...which no doubt led to making Shirley Temple Black a great diplomat! From Wikipedia The peak of Black's diplomatic career came when she was United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992, and witnessed the...
Late last month, Warner Home Video released the 70th Anniversary 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of The Wizard of Oz (1939) (there's a pretty nice package on Blu-ray as well). It is a wonderful package which includes the newly remastered film, with commentary by historian John Fricke, a featurette on the restoration, a Dolby 5.1 Sing-Along feature, outtakes, deleted scenes, and much more. I have one copy...
Mike Judge: I’m not sure I know what it is except that I know I tend to… I think that part of it might be in the writing. I like comedy that you can kind of meditate on a little bit, with things that get funnier. Oddly enough, stuff that might seem very broad, like BEVERLY HILLBILLIES to me has a shelf life… Its track record is pretty good, but even though that is pretty broad,...

August 17, 1939—For a day, Hollywood’s moviemaking factory turned into a movie promotional factory. With its musical extravaganza of the season, The Wizard of Oz , having already exceeded its $2 million budget by 50%, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer—the studio that trumpeted in its motto that it had “more stars than there are in Heaven”—decided to use two of its younger ones...
My coworker has me on a Bollywood crash course. Evidently, you don’t know Bollywood if you don’t know the classic 1960 film Mughal-e-Azam (The Emperor of the Mughals). This film has everything: love, war, music and dance. It was shot (mostly) in black and white, with critical scenes in Technicolor, then re-released in 2004 fully [...]

Go away. Why haven't you left yet? Don't you have some patty-cake games to play with your intellectual superiors, or something? Get along, now, little dogie. Scoot. Go on. Skedaddle. Head up, move out... and still you stand here. Why is that the medium asked knowing the answer would make nobody happy. Oh, sure. You came here for a reading, and won't leave before you have it. Well, don't let me hold...
The U.S. press was saying this election hinged on narcotics-export related violence and the economy (or rather, the Calderon Administration’s response to these issues). One test of the Administration’s strength would be Chihuahua, where PAN normally does well. However, in the state as a whole, PAN is only receiving 28.6 percent of the vote, [...]
Lately, instead of watching Fox News the whole day, I've been watching FNC for only an hour when I first get to my office. After that - it gets a bit old and stale so I switch to TVLand and, in between dealing with my tenants, I watch Andy Griffith, Leave it to Beaver, Beverly Hillbillies, Bonanza and Gunsmoke . It's been quite an education to see stuff that you all grew up with. I don't always get...
