Schadenfreudapalooza (pp: nice re line, btw)
 

Ahem. I like Ed Burns. I liked "The Brothers McMullen" a lot. I liked the Irish tinged instrumental music that he used on the soundtrack. I liked the guy who played his father -- John Somebody (he also plays Frasier's dad). I didn't think that the chick that played his girlfriend was a good actress, but whatever.

I liked his next movie, "She's The One," too. I think that Jennifer Anniston was very good in it, and I think that Cameron Diaz is attractive only in this movie, "There's Something About Mary," and "Any Given Sunday." I also think that the guy who plays his brother is a good actor (though why you would want to stray from a wife like Jennifer is beyond me). I liked the songs that Tom Petty wrote for Ed. Again, I don't think that the acting of Ed's then squeeze was up to the level of the others, but whatever.

To sum up, I like Ed. I like his movies. Maybe I'm an idiot, or maybe I'm blinded by the shared ethnic heritage, or maybe I just think that Jennifer Anniston is hot.

Yeah, my grandma used to tell my mom about watching that show. Sounded cool when my mom told me those stories. Did it ever make it to color TV?

Kevin Smith did two good flicks - Chasing Amy and Clerks. The rest suck. His last flick was awful. Too much dialogue.

If you kinda sorta liked Dogma, or just wanted to like Dogma, but wanted it to be that much more, go read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The book is absolutely hysterical. Rumor (i.e. the IMDB) has it that Terry Gilliam is going to direct it, though one wonders about Terry Gilliam's ability to direct anything after the Don Quixote.

Totally off topic, but I just found my favorite headline after the infamous "Man, Woman, Serpent Die in Firey Crash":

Music and a Nighttime Soap
 

I discovered Platinum on the WB last Friday when they ran two episodes back to back. Now that is some dramatic fun.

An independent hip-hop label run by two brothers -- one played by Sticky Fingaz, the other by the guy who looks like Michael Jai White but isn't.

It's produced by Sofia Coppola and John Ridley (of Three Kings and Undercover Brother fame).

I have no idea when it is actually on since it's playoff time.

90210 reunion
 

I have heard, but I have not confirmed, that Tyler Christopher is back on General Hospital to reprise his role as Nikolas Cassadine. I used to watch it when I was in law school, and I stopped having a clue what was going on around the time that Brenda was killed off. (She apparently came back from the dead briefly during a recent sweeps.)

Music and a Nighttime Soap
 

It's on right after Buffy (they've already torn down all the sets) on Tuesday nights on the WB.

Edited to say paigow it is the links you use that are incorrect. You need to copy the entire link for the picture itself, which you find by right clicking on the picture, clicking on properties, and then copying the link.

Wow that is some amazing recollection you have. I watched part of Survivor last night (for the first time in at least a month). That Matt guy seems pretty creepy. He sure thinks he has the whole thing won, which to me means he's the next one out. Heidi and Jenna are those annoying girls that you just want to slap (we're so cool and fun, see how we painted our faces!). I didn't see enough of anyone else to really form an opinion. When they were showing the votes at the end it looked like the old guy voted against Alex and one of the cute girls voted against Matt. Guess their betrayals cancelled each other out.

There have been several articles (I think one was posted here but I'm not sure) about how some CBS employees were caught placing bets offshore on who will be the final two.

Matt and Jen are supposedly the final two. I also heard that Heid goes next week and that the final four are Christi (ends in 4th place), Butch (3rd place) Matt and Jenna. No word on who actually wins.

Rob is not that brilliant. While I"m thrilled that he flip-flopped (because I hate the Barbie brigade), he just ensured that, were he to make it to the final two, most of the jury wouldn't vote for him (and he already betrayed his alliance with Deena). There's not a big enough financial difference between second and fourth place to risk alienating most of the jury like that.

You should try crystal meth. It lasts a bit longer than straight speed, and has a sort of physicality to it that speed lacks.

(There was an SNL episode years ago - woman showing how she obsessively folded all of her bags, and then ironed them flat, and then put them away in order with her hundreds of other bags - it was a commercial for speed. Your post brought back memories . . .)

That's him, thanks. He was also in "Moonstruck."

Apropos of nothing, I'm glad to hear that you decided to help Serrano hit the curve ball.

Now that's talent!
 

Why the hell would anyone pierce and accessorize something that no one else can see? That's like buying a little handbag to complement your outfit and shoving it up your !@## instead!
