A clip from one of my favorite journalism movies, Broadcast News. Great cast (Albert Brooks and the always fantastic Holly Hunter) and is a poignant satire of an industry I once wanted to be a member of. Then I went to college and saw what a joke TV news was, and wisely left it … […]
You wanna see how quickly a moment can devolve into madness? Try playing a round of golf and have one hole turn into a living hell. This is what happened to Kevin Na on the 9th hole yesterday. This is sad to watch, and painful in a Michael Scott in a HR seminar, but I […]
Among the long list of movies that I will gladly turn on and watch at any time, I have been pleasantly addicted to Away We Go for several years. The wife and I saw it and between the humor, the sadness and and all that’s in between delivered by some of our favorite actors working, […]
I admit to never watching the Dana Carvey Show when it was actually airing. What can I say, it only aired during the spring of ’96 and I was probably really drunk and whatnot in college, and in my sophomore year I was most likely only watching The Daily Show, sports and playing video games. […]
In honor of my making bacon, I got to relive another great scene from the Muppets Take Manhattan, where Kermit gets into the ad game. If you don’t like the Muppets, I don’t know that we can be friends or be related to each other. […]
As I venture over to the Emerald Isle, I was thinking this morning of movies that made me laugh that had adventure and travel in them. Oddly, I came up with Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I honestly may be one of only 11 fans of this movie, but dammit if it doesn’t make me […]
This is a hybrid Friday Funnies. I wanted to put this under it’s normal home of Trailer Love, but instead I ended up laughing through the trailer enough that I thought it warranted double-duty, and so now it’s living under Friday Funnies this time. It’s a trailer for Rubber, a comedy/horror movie that looks crazy […]
When I first saw this movie back in 1993, Mike Myers was in his full SNL popularity, and So I Married An Axe Murderer was a great showoff of his numerous talents. In later years, the wife always spoke that she married her version of Mike Myers, because the whole kooky scene about The Pentaverate […]
I’d seen articles and previews on IFC for this new show Portlandia, but I’ll be honest in saying I’ve never been a huge Fred Armisen fan so I kinda dismissed it. But then the wife showed me a clip on YouTube and I was hooked. Then a day later I saw parts of an episode […]
I’ve spoken of the geeky genius of The IT Crowd before, but I have to bring it up again. You see, one of the best comedy series on television just released its fourth season on streaming Netflix, so you can watch all six episodes whenever you want. Why they only make six episodes confounds me, […]
