Tony Curtis, 1925-2010

I don't really do obituaries, but I can point you in the direction of a very beautiful and heartfelt one, HERE.

Tonight I'll be watching SOME LIKE IT HOT.

Glorious Sounds of Retro! BOARDWALK EMPIRE Version

HBO's BOARDWALK EMPIRE is my new favorite show simply by virtue of its soundtrack. Is it possible that the show could bring a renewed interest in 1920s pop music and vaudeville? Imagine, a weekly dose of Sophie Tucker and Al Jolson and more. YES.

Mad Men Double Edition

I'm a little behind on updating things here, but my recap of episodes 8 and 9 of MAD MEN was posted at LFM last week.

Go read it! HERE

Video Madness! College football edition!

This bobcat needs to come to Ann Arbor so I can buy him a drink. All hail the Ohio University Bobcat!

"Miss Blankenship, Queen of Perversions!"

My musings on this week's episode of MAD MEN are now up at Libertas!

I went a little beatnik poetical/personal reflection this time in my recap. This episode -- as everyone's been saying -- was beyond superb in every way (acting, script, direction, etc.), but for me it was more than a brilliantly produced hour of television. Something about this episode really hit me, touching me on a deep personal level that few television shows have ever reached. It was a masterpiece.

Please do read my thoughts on episode 7, "The Suitcase," at LFM!
