Robert Duvall names his kid "Jackson Longstreet" in Tomorrow, a 1972 movie from a Faulkner story. I'm convinced Billy Bob Thornton borrowed Duvall's accent in that movie for Slingblade.

Ugh. AMC used to be about on a par with TCM. No ads, almost as good a film library, just slightly cheaper looking.

Funny you would mention that. http://www.newyorker.com/ca…

It was only ever for broadcast TV, on the public airwaves theory. I think now it hangs on by a thread on the "for the children" reason, in the E/I requirement.

I guess Republicans telling him "please just stop" and "obviously I don't see that as an appropriate comment" did not work. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/…

Sad story about Channel 18 in L.A. closing. It broadcasts in over a dozen languages, and lots of its first gen audience likes to watch TV not a computer. "Served as a TV United Nations in a city of immigrants." http://www.latimes.com/loca… It was a private biz that had come up with an interesting format, which ran for…

Hawaiian phrases are par for the course. It's not quite as fraught as you describe it. Respect, etc. It was just funny CBS made such a positive statement.

Look, BCS had the chance to bring in Huell Babineaux for another episode and they didn't do it! When Jimmy slippies in the weighted bingo-pong balls, and then leaves the room, he had no way to pull them back out! The same six balls are going to pop out again. That's where HB's light touch would have fixed the matter.
