Tivo-Delay Blogging the Grammys (The End)
Passed away montage… always a sad thing, but always a good betting man’s game to see who gets the longest ovations. Odds are 1:100 on Michael, so my money’s on Teddy Pendergrass.
Jeff Bridges is The Dude, and not just because he played Jeffrey Lebowski, but because he’s that guy through and through. And I love him for it.
If you’re going to bring out Jeff Beck, you should...

Tivo-Delay Blogging the Grammys (Hour 3)
Wow. I can’t believe I’ve made it to hour three. I would’ve turned this off a long time ago if I had been watching live.
Am I the only one to think it’s weird that Michael Jackson’s kids don’t look the slightest bit black? It’s like all that plastic surgery MJ had actually changed some of his DNA! So peculiar.
When will the world finally realize Bon Jovi...

Tivo-Delay Blogging the Grammys (Hour 2)
The militant Pea (I can never remember his name) is staring blankly at the camera, right in the center of my screen, and he couldn’t look more disinterested. Funny, I didn’t know my television doubled as a mirror.
Is there a phrase more worthless than “already Grammy winners tonight”? Winners for what? Not that I care, but if you’re going to relegate all the awards...

Tivo-Delay Blogging the Grammys (Hour 1)
Where’s Coco when you need him? Lada Gaga is the “If They Mated” result of Marilyn Manson & Christina Aguilera.
Did I miss an explosion of terrible makeup? What happened to Elton & Gaga? They remind me of last week’s EW cover with a ‘sploded Leno. Too bad that wasn’t real.
Jay-Z is clearly not part of Colbert Nation.
Katy Perry + Russell Brand =...

“I think the deeper reason people are so inflamed by this petty war is that Conan...”
– Michael Ian Black astutely sums up why the Late Night Wars have moved past media news and onto national prominence. For the record, he’s right, it’s really not all that important, but it still the whole mess irks me all the same.

TMZ: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Back On →
When this fails to be a ratings bonanza, and NBC is forced to give this Frankensteinian Tonight Show to Jimmy Fallon in two years, I hope Comcast executives fire every last person in charge of television production at NBC.
I also hope Jay Leno apologizes to Conan for screwing him over (not happening), David Letterman makes Conan his first guest on the night of Leno’s return (please?), Team...

People of Earth: In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an...

Not that Spider-Man 3 was anything but terrible, but isn’t it far too soon for a reboot? And if we are rebooting, shouldn’t we go more towards “Ultimate” Spidey rather than the traditional version?

I don’t blame Netflix for this ill-advised 28-day new release moratorium, because they get $$ and a greater streaming catalog from Warner Bros.
I do, however, blame the continually idiotic manning of media corporations. Trying to stave off declining DVD sales by limiting rental options is tantamount to an open invitation to use BitTorrent.
Seriously, what are these people thinking? This is...

3D or not 3D?
Anybody besides me think that 3D is turning into a self-fulfilling prophecy? Remember first that this was cutting edge technology in the ’50s, part of that decade’s great futurism but soon after reduced to a hokey distraction.
Now we are in that future, and the idea that we all need 3D not only hasn’t gone away, it’s gained tons of steam in the past 5 years or so. To top...
