Posted on May 20, 2021 by Steve

It has been a rough week in comedy since we lost the other master of the deadpan delivery and a pioneer in Comedy for the world, not just Black Americans. Paul was at Cap City a few years ago during … Continue reading →

2001: Mac OS X available

Posted on March 24, 2021 by Steve

The great leap forward for the PowerPC-based Mac finally happened and it wasn’t smooth nor painless. Many critics called it a paid-public beta; a very old accusation of every OS or application. All the powers-that-be at Apple knew this too … Continue reading →

RIP Marc Wilmore (belated)

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Steve

Damned Twitter! Found out through fellow Producer Mike Reiss that Marc died last week from CV-19. Life is unfair all to often since Orange Foolius and his legions remain free and not in prison where they belong while a person … Continue reading →

2001: On The Media begins

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Steve

This weekend, the one podcast I have religiously listen to since…I can’t remember. Let’s just say when iTunes (now divided into Music and Podcasts) first added the ability to subscribe to podcasts. Checking the Internet, iTunes 4.9 which was about … Continue reading →

Wild Hogs blech

Posted on December 5, 2020 by Steve

This was another Jennifer pick I put off writing about due to laziness/complacency. She likes it because she’s a big fan of William H Macy which is cool, he’s a great actor. Sadly, he’s in the horrible dud alongside the … Continue reading →

RIP Alex Trebek

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Steve

If there’s an afterlife, poor Alex is now being mobbed by a million senior citizens like my grandmother who religiously watched Jeopardy. That game show, her soaps and Lawrence Welk. It was just easier to hand her the remote than to argue. … Continue reading →

Political cartoonist Tom Toles retires

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Steve

Yesterday was Tom’s last strip ever. During his long-storied career, he drew/wrote over 15,000 since college. I always thought he worked for the Washington Post the whole time, nope, he joined them 16 years ago to replace another legend, Herblock. Toles’ … Continue reading →

The Cooler

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Steve

While Jennifer is walking me through all the Netflix-available seasons of Shameless, she introduced me to this movie I somehow overlooked a couple decades ago. I dig movies set in Las Vegas with two exceptions…The Hangover, not funny; Leaving Las Vegas, super … Continue reading →

RIP Iam Holm

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Steve

Ian will be remembered by me for all the support characters he provided to numerous favorite movies of mine. The duplicitous science officer Ash in Alien, the rival restaurant owner Pascal in Big Night, Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, greedy head … Continue reading →

My good friend, co-worker and fellow Fountains of Wayne fan, Ethan sent me this link via Band Camp, a site for acts to make more money directly. It leads to an album of 31 different acts, many of them friends, … Continue reading →

The Powerpuff Girls in high school

Posted on May 19, 2020 by Steve

Given that cartoon and TV characters age at a slower rate (if at all), I thought this was a cool update of the Powderpuff Girls as high schoolers. Thanks to adolescence, Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup have developed their own tastes … Continue reading →

Killing Them Softly

Posted on May 13, 2020 by Steve

Killing was a rather mediocre Crime movie set around the final days of the 2008 election. There’s so much yapping, you’d think David Mamet wrote this but it’s loosely based upon a book I’m not going to look up. Brad Pitt … Continue reading →
