OK – let’s say you’re 30 years old. Let’s say the average American reads three books a year (outside the U.S. the average may be a bit higher). Let’s say you have a good fifty years of reading before you die. That’s 150 books. [Fun…
And that’s fine with me. In 2010, when the Tea Party won quite a few House seats and a couple of Senate seats , many people were wrongly tricked into believing that a serious political movement had begun and a rise of the Far Right…
I actually watched last night’s “American Idol” Season 11 premiere. Yes, I’m the one. Just kidding. There were actually quite a few people who watched last night. But 23% fewer than watched last year. This show is dead. It may limp along and have…

I’m going to start with a really stupid statement: Filmmakers are a very important piece of the filmmaking process. But they’re not the only piece. It appears Michael Bay has a problem with the way movie theaters have been projecting 3D movies lately (read: dark)…
… and New York, for that matter. And I’m talking about WRITERS! Of course, there are some small roles in film and television that are played by unattractive female actresses (the psychotic neighbor, the diner waitress, the homeless woman, the awkward teen friend, etc.) –…
