Do you seriously think that you can fit 2 Americans dressed for ND winter side by side in 1.6m?

A friend said that when Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road first came out that it would be the last good album EJ produced. He wasn’t wrong.

This doesn’t sound very compelling at all, but thanks for the reminder about Sky Captain. I’ve been meaning to go back and watch that again. I was pretty high the first time I saw it and loved it. I remember it as the best modern version of Commander Cody and Flash Gordon serials that I loved as a kid.

Beef 2: Where’s the Beef?

Well, consider the effective of the extensive signage and warning systems for the 11 foot 8 inch bridge in Durham.

Emmys, like the Oscars, are awards for career work. Much like figure skating, the judges look at the body of work as much as they do the performance in front of them.

It’s never hilarious. More like, laughing because otherwise you’d cry. The characters are amusing, and relatable, in their brokenness.

Honestly, I’ve not seen either series. But genuinely, getting nominated means you’re at the top of the pack. That ain’t chopped liver.

From what I saw of the setup in the Ft Lauderdale area, the tracks run directly through highly developed urban areas. There are buildings mere feet from each side of the right-of-way. This cuts down visibility significantly, and I believe that they don’t sound horns as a courtesy to nearby neighbors. There is good…

Where’s the love for Barry and Better Call Saul?

Win an EGOT doesn’t sound right. Winning an Emmy made him an EGOT.

This is exactly how I feel about old TV shows. Now that so many channels are offering fare from my youth, I’ve learned not to give in to nostalgia and watch those old shows. I watched an episode of Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, a show that I faithfully watched each week, and I couldn’t watch the whole thing. Better to…

This is technically true (the best kind of true), but both vehicles really aren’t for driving much faster than 40mph, so the human damage is mostly limited to legs.

I referenced property crimes because those are the crimes that get almost zero attention by the police. I, myself, had been indoctrinated by cop shows to believe that police actually pursued those, but was awakened to reality when my car was hit in front of multiple witnesses that got a partial plate, and the cop that…

I think that would have to go back to Grandpa as a cop, then. Selleck as a cop would be, like, the late 1980s I think. Which would work for the viewing audience, getting all nostalgic for the run up to the Giuliani years.

I don’t think that Selleck is up to it. My wife likes the show and watches it. She’s noticed that Tom shoots most of his scenes seated lately.

My objection to police procedurals (and medical procedurals for that matter) is that by their very nature they create the mindset that the affairs depicted get neatly wrapped up by the end of the episode. In reality, crimes and maladies rarely get resolved so cleanly. But people get indoctrinated into the notion that…

I imagine that after this many years, Blue Bloods has just about tapped out that vein of copaganda. The next step would be to do a prequel series, where Selleck is still a beat cop on the verge of making detective, his dad is still commissioner, and the kids are still kids or young adults. 

Ferrara’s statements don’t make it obvious, but I won’t be a bit surprised to see the brand come back in a month once the nostalgia peaks.
