*monocle drops*

No, but I wish I had.

Oh, I saw that in 2014. It's awesome — have the DVD.

Cybill Shepherd. She loved working with Michael, but knew they were part of Columbia's "other" movie for 1978 (behind Close Encounters, which opened at Christmas '77).

I love that! It's like a motif for his work!

So noted. There hasn't been any adjustments yet. I wasn't so sure with RO'N because it got one of those anemic three more episode deals that Timeless did.

Yup, I still think they're cancelled/on the way:
Conviction, Odd Couple, Timeless, Real O'Neals, Scream Queens, No Tomorrow, Frequency, Code Black, Notorious, Pure Genius, Pitch, The Exorcist

Yeah, that sucks. Alaskan Riviera has been kind enough to mention the music switches.

Yup, I did know Columbia paid pretty heavily for Annie. It was mentioned in Indecent Exposure, about the Begelman check-forging scandal). I'm just laughing my head off at Grease 2 opening the same weekend as E.T..

They're breasts, Momma!

I'm just welcoming the opportunity to move away from "Joel's got a stick up his ass."

Yeah, I loved the Ed & Ruth-Anne story the most. Especially her supportive skepticism about the $200 script consultant.

I had a lot of fun writing a review and trying not to say, "Holy cow, they made a story where everybody not feel superfluous!"

For months, one of our councilmen had been asking for a focus group on how the city's doing. He campaigned on a platform of more economic development and a more active and smaller council (another suggestion from the business community), but was gracious enough not to vote on it.

I liked Evita.

I didn't know that about Hanna-Barbera/Annie. I watched the trailer and it just seems so cheesy.

Hugs. So many hugs.

At some point, you must see the film.

Dynasty was the first to be 100 percent serialized. The other nighttime shows had arcs, but stuck to self-contained episodes for varying amounts of time.

I wanted to regain that "cable box HBO" feeling (thanks, Judkins!) my first exercise — the comedies of 1984 — had.
