THE Classic Tweet I love Gilligan and am really glad they haven’t re-made it. It would be so vulgar and family-unfriendly if they did it now.
Plasma’s the Way to Go, Man! Tweet I can’t believe how thin and cheap big screen TVs are getting. I keep thinking about a new one when I go to the store, but the 42 incher I have now works just fine. Why am I telling you this?!?!
Mark the Halls with Movies, Tra-la-la-la Tweet I have never watched an entirety of one of those movies, but as I visit patients, that’s often what’s on TV in their room. In those half-hour blocks, they all look the same.
Novelizations Tweet There are people who think this way. Who didn’t realize “The Hobbit” (and LOTR) were loosely based on existing books. But now, I’m surprised they didn’t come out with watered-down, simplified novels for the movies. Publishing thinks less and less of it’s readers and is mandating that authors not use compound sentences, keep the paragraphs short, and write everything at an 8th grade level. Are they correct in thinking so low of their audience, or are they trying to make their readers dim?
Rockford Flies! Tweet Seriously, how many times has just this been asserted in a blog when there’s really no possible argument to the contrary?
Selleckian Facial Motif Tweet For the record, this is not intended to make fun of Tom Selleck, who I enjoy on “Blue Bloods” and is the only true “Magnum P.I.”
BIG Screen TV Tweet I go into some spaces where the TV is really too big, overwhelming the room, and I think to myself, “I want one like that.”
