Smash.

The new NBC series about putting on a Broadway play.

Yeah, it’s well-titled.

Smash is a smash.

I am STILL humming the tunes. Now THAT’s Broadway. (I’m sure it will be, after the TV series.)

Don’t ever speak in a faux British accent again.

Really.

Boy, did you suck in this week’s episode of Once Upon A Time.

That is all.

(P.S.: Stick to cranky characters like Toby in the West Wing, and please make sure to speak in your natural accent.)

An utterly hilarious video starring Michael Bolton. Yes, really. (And two Jews.)

“Michael Bolton, you gotta focus up!”

A bunch of movies you probably haven’t seen get Golden Globe nominations from the preposterous “Hollywood Foreign Press Association.”

A quick trip down the list shows that I have seen exactly zero of the film nominations for any category, and of the TV series, uh, let’s see… one. Big Bang Theory.

Though I did mean to see Puss in Boots and Rango, and have The Descendants on my list of maybes.

I’m thinking that either I or the Foreign Press Association are out of touch these days. Meh, they’re a bunch of furriners. I blame them. And don’t tell me how great Game of Thrones is. I read three or four of the books and gave up utterly because I prefer to read books that have something uplifting, or at least, one where not everybody dies. Life is hard. I get it. Really. I don’t need to be told in several million words how hard it is.
