Still not quite sure why so many branded Funny People an unmitigated disaster. Sure, it wasn't as big of a box-office performer as your standard Apatow or Sandler joint, but it was hardly a huge bomb ( $51M ). Plus, the reviews were fairly solid across the board (68% positive on RT ). Something tells me that this is a film that people will find on DVD and VOD, and it will eventually become a basic-cable...
The next Muppet internet sensation just hit the web! Check out all your favorite Muppets (yeah, all of them) in their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody! I know what you're thinking, that song sounds familiar. That's because Johnny and Sal sang it in 2005 at the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. I mean, that obscure video was way more popular than Wayne's World, right? Here it is again for posterity....
Can you believe that it’s actually taken the Muppets this long to cover Bohemian Rhapsody? While they certainly weren’t first, I think they (unsurprisngly) might have done it best. Update: So, apparently the Muppets have done Bohemian Rhapsody before after all. They sang it in 2005 on the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon (thanks to [...]

Still got drumming on my mind. See last weeks post. Got a kick out of this vid of Jerry Lewis in a drum duel with Buddy Rich. Loved the huge eclectic collection of drums in Jerry's 'set'. It made me feel like: But then the nasty harpies started messing with my head. "Whahahahaha. What female drummers besides babies banging pots and pans have you ever heard of?" Well... Harpies: "Oh yeah?...

Yossi Beilin the head of a party Israel that couldn't garner more than three seats in Knesset, is nonetheless loved in France. He just received the French Legion of Honour. So a failure in his own country, Beilin can now tell himself how great he is because people who haven't suffered as a result of his policies have given him an award.

1. Learn how your work affects the bottom line. People want money, sex and happiness. Period. Take away all that Maslow’s Hierarchy crap, and that’s what you’re left with. Especially within an organization. The first move in your mission for advancement is to calculate the value of your achievements. To compute the profitability of your productivity. This might require some research,...
Some time ago, Jerry Lewis announced that his 1963 movie, The Nutty Professor, would be transformed into a Broadway musical with him as the director. With a mix of rooting interest and skepticism, we've been watching for any trace of...
Move over, Jerry Lewis. The French have taken another American to their hearts. Clint Eastwood, whose screen characters have been the quintessence of squinty, unsmiling, taciturn, solitary American heroism, is clearly a hit in the land of the Three Musketeers.

Now he's right up there with Jerry Lewis. Screen legend/Oscar winner and as of Friday, Legion of Honor winner, Clint Eastwood. Very nice. For those who don't know (and I'd include me) it's an award established by Napoleon and is...
Congress should seek ways to improve the current health care system and make it available to more people rather than impose a new $1.3 trillion government-run plan that will raise taxes and cost jobs.
