April 28, 2009 - 11:57am GOLDEN TUESDAY Jim writes: Thanks for the Golden Girls clip. The great thing about that clip was that though the writing was fairly predictable, the presentation and reactions truly showed how even pedestrian comedy can be made funny with the right actors. You are so right about the interviewer of Bea Arthur. That same woman has interviewed several people and she always asks the same type of questions and seems genuinely disinterested in the subjects she's interviewing; that said, I'd rather have historical videos of late great entertainers with a poor interviewer than nothing at all. Speaking of which - WE tv will feature a marathon of favorite THE GOLDEN GIRLS episodes Thursday, April 30 beginning 9:30pm/e, 8:30pm/c. Care for another funny moment from the show? Check out Jim Longworth's new site, you'll find clips from some of his celebrity interviews, everyone from C.C.H. Pounder to Cloris Leachman. You can also visit Triad Today to find out more about Jim's weekly public affairs show - they are a rarity on television today and no one does it better than Jim! Tuesday,
April 28, 2009 - 8:47am MONDAY MONDAY I would prefer if you're a fast typist, hopefully with experience doing this type of thing. Work is done from your home. I'll send you the sound files to work with, around 10 minutes in length. You set the deadline. Work will end this summer, there won't be a tremendous amount of work but if it sounds like something you would want to do please email me. Payment is by Paypal only and I'll pay you right away. Thanks! Here's a classic clip from The Golden Girls as the ladies go shopping for condoms. Recognize the shopkeeper? It's none other than the great Chuck McCann.
Remember when IBM built 'Big Blue' the first computer to beat a human at chess? Now IBM is testing a computer to try to beat people at Jeopardy. If it is successful it will be a huge leap forward for artificial intelligence. It will also, presumably, make IBM relevant again. Monday,

SAD PASSING I love her quoted remark about Ester Rolle - "She doesn't do windows and she doesn't do comedy." I always thought Rolle was weak at comedy as well, hopelessly miscast but beloved none the less. Sunday,

FRIDAY STUFF John Stahl has some new bite sized TV on DVD reviews - X-Men Animated Volume 1 and a Britcom Pulling. We try before YOU buy!
Offhand, I can think of two actors that were in bands that didn't want people to know it was them up there playing - Cher in Black Rose (pretty hard to mistake her voice for anyone else) and Billy Mumy (Lost In Space) from Barnes & Barnes.
New ABC show The Unusuals is a stiff. Hardly a big surprise, who would watch a show called The Unusuals no matter how good it was? Reminds me when I was doing marketing for the motion picture industry and two films in particular that I thought were great - The Shawshank Redemption and Glengarry Glen Ross - I knew wouldn't stand a chance at the box office because the titles were too uncomfortable for most people to say out loud.

April 24, 2009 - 11:06am PATTY, LAVERN & MAXENE
I was fascinated with music of the World War II era growing up in the 1970s, swept up in the nostalgia boom that was going on at the time no doubt. The Andrews Sisters were three of the brightest stars of the 1940s, scoring big not only on vinyl but in motion pictures with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as well. LaVerne Andrews (in the center) died in 1967 at age 55 and the other 2 sisters had a rocky relationship throughout in the 1970s even though a hit broadway show Over Here! was built around them in 1974. They had a serious falling out after that and never reconciled. Maxene is on the right, she died in 1995; Patty, the lead singer, is still alive, the last I saw of her was as a judge on The Gong Show in the late-1970s. Thursday,

EARTH DAY No offense to out Catholic friends but it always amazes me that Catholic League president William Donohue can openly criticize anyone - glass houses and all. Now he's attacking Ron 'Opie' Howard for his sequel to The Da Vinci Code. "Howard must be delusional if he thinks Vatican officials are going to like his propaganda -- they denied him the right to film on their grounds. Moreover, we know from a Canadian priest who hung out with Howard's crew last summer in Rome (dressed in civilian clothes) just how much they hate Catholicism. It's time to stop the lies and come clean." Way to promote a movie probably no one wants to see. Speaking of religious zealots:
And I don't know WHAT to make of this but it's cute as hell.
Look at the loser lineup for NBC's upcoming'reality' show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!: supermodel Janice Dickinson, Geraldo Rivera, Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (The Hills) and possibly former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Sounds like a real snoozefest. NBC has cancelled Kings as of now replaced with reruns of Law & Order: SVU. Kings will return in June to air already filmed episodes. Wednesday,

Watch below as Billy Bob Thorton has a bit of a slow moving meltdown on this Canadian broadcast. Seems the actor has a band he plays with but hasn't learned a darn thing from his decades of plugging movies - he doesn't want people to know Billy Bob Thorton is in the group. Then again, anyone who loved Famous Monsters of Filmland - as I did - can't be all bad.
