Posted in Film, Rants, Television/Media, Tweet-Sized Thoughts, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

In honor of my recent inability to write anything of length, I felt I had to post something for my own sake. So I think I will take a cue from my friend Britt Julious and her Sunday column idea…Though with this blog, it will just be a collection of my recent tweets on Twitter [...]

“Remain Silent No Longer”: Rage Against the Polanski

Posted in Film, Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , , , , , on May 3, 2010 | 7 Comments »

I’ve written a lot about Roman Polanski since he was arrested – after 30+ years – for raping a 13-year-old girl back in the 70s. So now that he chose to speak out for the first time this weekend, it just seems right to “Rage Against the Polanski” once again. Because after all, “Polanski” has [...]

Tina Fey: Victim of ‘Superior’ Feminism

Posted in Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , , , , on April 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Writers: Do you ever get that feeling when you read something truly spectacular – whether it be a novel, a poem, or a commentary – and think, “Damn! I wish I wrote that…” Most likely you do, and I refer to this as “Writer’s Envy.” (Surely I am not the first to dub it this, [...]

Jane Velez-Mitchell: ‘Wearing a Bikini on Spring Break is Asking for Rape.’

Posted in Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , on March 22, 2010 | 5 Comments »

Listen. I didn’t ask for HLN to be on when I turned on my television after work today. And I didn’t want Jane Velez-Mitchell’s awful show, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell, to be on either, mishandling the topic of rape. The “issue” at hand was the number of young women who have been raped in Daytona [...]

Internet: The New Music Video Platform

Posted in Music Video, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , on March 14, 2010 | 6 Comments »

I can’t bring myself NOT to write about this. Yeah, that’s right. I’m talking about the now infamous, mixed received “Telephone” music video/mini epic comprised of a million pop culture references by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. (Sidenote: Funny – the last time I wrote about a music video worth writing about, it was Beyoncé’s “Video [...]

“Live” Blog: Oscars 2010 Commentary!

Posted in Film, Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , on March 7, 2010 | 16 Comments »

5:24: So, this is a “live” blog with quotation marks around it because I don’t really have somewhere important to be tonight for the Oscars. It’s not like I’m on the red carpet, or at the Vanity Fair party later. But, tune in if you are interested in hearing my running commentary (ranging anywhere, I’m [...]

Best Oscar Speeches

Posted in Film, Television/Media, tagged , , , , on March 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »

With the 82nd Academy Awards airing this weekend (March 7th), there’s bound to be some memorable speeches as always. Maybe James Cameron will win and make a complete egotistical jackass of himself, or surely Gabourey Sidibe will give an amazing speech if she wins (fingers crossed!) Who will get the music (everyone but Meryl Streep), [...]

Music Video Appreciation #1: “Video Phone,” Beyoncé

Posted in Music Video, Television/Media, tagged , , , on February 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Artists: Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga Song: “Video Phone [Extended Remix]“ Director: Hype Williams I know I’m a few months late on this, but I’m really blown away by the “Video Phone” music video. It’s strange, sexy, colorful, and enticing. It actually made me appreciate the song (which is also strange, especially for Beyoncé) more because [...]

@-ing the Celebrity: Famous People’s Online Personalities

Posted in Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , on February 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Thanks to the internetz (the “z” is for ironic geeky effect, you see), the general public can now “connect” with celebrities via sites like Twitter and personal blogs. Both of these social networking tools have become almost vital for any modern-day famous person. And we can’t get enough of it. Though still, a lot of [...]

Posted in Rants, Television/Media, tagged , , , , , on January 29, 2010 | 7 Comments »

The media and the public have been going crazy about Jay Leno’s interview with Oprah yesterday. You can find people tweeting about it even today, and the “I’m with Coco” Facebook page has received almost thousands of comments regarding the Oprah show. (Beware: Some of the comments say nasty things about both Jay and Oprah. [...]
