Just for Fun
It so happened we were in S.F. when we stumbled upon Janis Joplin’s house for sale. It’s in Marin county, for a little over a million dollars. It was a nice wooded dead- end street.
R.I.P. Dick Martin
Laugh-In and Batman were the first and last shows to get me excited about color television. But when I was excited, I was very excited. The writing on Batman holds up better than the writing on Laugh-In. Even at the time, I knew it was sort of stupid. Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, Alan Seuss and […]
Anne of the Thousand Days versus The Tudors
When I was ten years old, a movie version of my grandfather’s play, Anne of the Thousand Days, was released. He’d made his mark in the 1930s with several historical dramas, written in blank verse, including Elizabeth the Queen (later made into a movie with Bette Davis) and Mary of Scotland (the film starred Katharine […]
Catch Me In "Recount" on HBO
Self promotion. What an ugly, indulgent, self-serving practice. So very Hollywood, and so very contemptible in every way. So, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…. watch me! Please watch me! Okay, perhaps not exactly watch as much as hear me as I provide the voice for George W. Bush in the HBO […]

Henry the Eighth I Am!
At Busch Gardens in Tampa a few months ago, I noticed that Herman’s Hermits were playing. More precisely, Herman’s Hermits Starring Peter Noone, the sort of band name that screams of interminable lawsuits. But since Peter Noone had been the singer in the original band, I figured this should at least be an above-average version […]
The King Of Kong
Seeing that we’ve been blogging about video games a bit over the last week (or whatever derivation thereof the uWink establishment offers) I thought I’d recommend a terrific documentary about the world of classic video gaming. The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters is a compelling tale of one man’s journey to beat the […]
