Gee, so glad they found a way to use those interviews and retrospectives show producers did in case the strike was still happening.
I was mildly interested, until the fourth one. Thank God the writer’s strike is over and it wasn’t four hours of this.
As I was about to post, I saw the “binocular/periscope” retrospective, followed by the nightmare retrospective.
It’s like they’re reading my mind.

I love Jon Stewart. I am totally devoted to “The Daily Show.”
I still think he’s better behind the desk, than behind a podium.
Still, I don’t think he’s doing badly — though I can’t believe he opened with the “makeup sex joke.” That was barely funny.
The thing I like about Stewart is his irreverence — like his jab at the Vanity Fair party (canceled to support the writers. Stewart quipped “Maybe they could have invited writers … continued »

Well, that was a short ceremony. It was great to see so many talented people get recognized.
There were few surprises in the show — it would have been a repeat of the Golden Globes, if they’d been held.
Javier Bardem picked up an Actor for his work in “No Country For Old Men” and Daniel Day Lewis also won for his “There Will Be Blood” role.
(Lewis dedicated his award to Heath Ledger, who he called an … continued »

Well, the red carpet arrivals at the Screen Actor’s Guild have come and gone. I watched them on E! and I have to say, the interviews were pretty dry and very repetitive.
Enough with the “You have a great body, how do you do it?” versus “How do you manage not to appear drunk and drooling on every tabloid cover?”
I mean really, how many interesting answers can people have to these questions? Who’s going to come … continued »

Morgan Spurlock, the documentarian who risked his life to show the dangers of fast food in “Super Size Me,” recently premiered his latest film at Sundance — “Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?”
Film reviews so far are mixed. Apparently Spurlock traveled the world looking for the terrorist, and then gave up when he got to the really dangerous areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
This is completely understandable — I don’t think anyone should risk … continued »
