That's... very strange. I'll look for it on American Movie Classics.

I agree, the Marx Brothers were fantastic writers as well.

I'd be a lot more interested in a film about the Stooges' real life story: poor but smart Jewish kids from New York who honed their comedy skills in Vaudeville before making it to the movies, yet who never got anywhere near the respect of the similar-background Marx Brothers.

I always thought of Matt Damon as an actor-y actor before the "Bourne" movies.

You can have good writing in a widely popular movie. Dialogue doesn't have to be "literary" and a story doesn't have to be difficult to understand — just give us people who seem true to life, and who talk the way people really talk.

I also saw Titanic at the Mann Village in Westwood, with male and female friends. We all agreed that it was a visual marvel and a magnificent piece of filmmaking... that also sucked. The hackneyed characters and downright awful dialogue turned a potential masterpiece into dreck.

As a huge generalization, it's filmmakers spending very little money to re-create parties you went to when you were 23.

Hannah Takes the Stairs is really good movie, and Greta Gerwig is kind of brilliant as a clueless, low-key femme fatale.

Hypnosis can't make you do something you don't want to do. But can it make you want to do it?

Margulies' character attempted suicide in the first episode, largely because Clooney's character was such a cad. But they had an on-off relationship until he left the show.

She started pretty late into the show's run, after I had stopped watching. But I still want her to be made permanent news director at WNYX.

"Gosh, all this fuss over me?"

"I don't get it. Where are the monkeys?"

Adam Sandler knows that half the movies he makes himself, and nearly all the ones he produces for his friends, are infantile crap. But he also knows that's what most of his audience wants.

I was annoyed by all the cheap 9/11 references as an attempt to add realism to a far-fetched show.

I drink, therefore I am.

This is just one of longevity researcher Aubrey de Grey's seven proposed strategies for ending aging.

It's found in capsules available at any drugstore (or Costco). Most are made from a plant called Japanese knotweed, which contains more resveratrol than grapes (and costs less, too).

About 10 years ago, before it was common practice, I told a blind date I had Googled her. She immediately freaked out about the fact that I had looked for her on the Internet, and was even more upset to learn that there was easily searchable information (such as a photo of her on her company's website).

So now that publications like the Huffington Post have popularized the idea that writing is a valueless task that should be done for free, this site is doing the same thing for editing.
