You Haven’t Got It
I’m back. Thank God. I didn’t blog most of the past year because I was writing a book that I got actual money for (just so you know, blogs don’t really pay) and because I just didn’t have an angle. Not sure I do now…

It’s very possible Nickmom will set the record for the world’s shortest running network. There is no other option for this laughable disgrace than a total cancellation. In fact, there are only three absolute certainties in this life: 1) The sun will rise in the east;…
Hawk Koch was named President of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences today. Like his aggressive name suggests, this is a bold choice from an extremely bold organization. To have the balls to choose the old media film producer son of an old…
