Prime Time

Keith and Rachel.  Get them while there are repeats.  Last night for the Boys this week.  Jon at least is in repeats Monday.

Once Upon a Time in the West is perhaps the darkest of the ‘classic’ Westerns and by ‘classic’ I mean Henry Fonda who didn’t always play a hero and has exactly one degree of separation from Marion Morrison.

The freaky thing about Freaky Friday is that it isn’t Jodie Foster’s original, or even Shelly Long’s pathetic remake, but Lindsay Lohan’s trainwreck of a threepeat.  Sometimes I wonder about Jamie Lee Curtis’ choice of material.

Superbad looks like it lives up to its title.  Some people are Will Ferrell fans, I don’t understand why.

Later-

Dave has Mark Wahlberg, Cory Kahaney, and VV Brown.  Jon has Akbar Ahmed, Stephen Savion Glover.  Alton is doing slaw (actually a pretty funny episode).  Showdown at Cremation Creek II (I told you to DVR it).

I’m happy to find Comedy Central again.  The cable company moved it and didn’t notify me except on the TV Guide Channel crawl THAT NEVER WORKS!  I almost called them all cranky like I did ABOUT THE STUPID TV GUIDE CHANNEL!, but I’ve been remiss in providing a permanent prominent link to Yahoo TV Listings.

They moved Spike too.  I hardly noticed it.

Prime Time

Keith, Rachel, and the Boys, but you don’t have to watch news on my account though maybe you’ll want to.  Is Shark Week over yet?

I’m of mixed mind about The Assassins.  On the one hand it has Sylvester Stallone.  On the other hand it has Antonio Banderas.  Given the subtext about aging action hero studs you could find it interesting.

Or not.

What?  You think I’m slighting Ghost Hunters?

Later-

Dave has Julia Roberts and The Dead Weather.  Jon has Bruce Henderson, Stephen Michael Posner.  Alton does espresso (too much caffine?  Why do you think that?)

Showdown at Cremation Creek.  This is HUGE.  If you ever hope to understand why David Bowie is The Sovereign of The Guild of Calamitous Intent you’ll examine every frame individually using your DVR and then watch it again at 5 am (hey, you’ll be up in time for Home Movies, Mets Fast Forward, and Monster Trucks).

Not that I would know anything about it.

Prime Time

Keith.  Rachel may not be back from her taping with Dave.  The Boys.

Shark Week mostly reminds me of Gary Condit and Hair on Fire Presidential Daily Briefings after which I started to get all radicalized and unfit for polite company.

Back in Junior High School my English teacher was obsessed by this film, thought it was the best movie ever made and we spent about 3 weeks analyzing the script in independent study groups where I had the good fortune to be in the same one as my bespectacled and brilliant object of desire.

Needless to say I don’t remember much about it but as I recall we hardly talked about Kurosawa at all.

Later-

Dave has Michael Cera, Rachel Maddow, and Herbie Hancock.  Jon has Will Ferrell, Stephen Laura Ingraham.  Alton does punch.  Viva Los Muertos!

Prime Time

Keith is back!  Also Rachel (probably).  The Boys are in town.  You’d almost think things were normal and this wasn’t the Shark Week of August.

Not that my life is governed by TV or anything.

Later-

Dave has Will Ferrell, Damian Marley, and Nas.  Jon has Mary Roach, Stephen Jimmy Cliff.  Alton is doing edible oils again.  I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills (introduction of Dr. Henry Killinger).

Happy Shark Week!

Sigh.  I’ll not be hyping the aqueous skin toothed cartilaginous charms of this media event.  Not while I have Summer X Games!

Oops.

Later-

A good night to sleep.

Later-

If you can stay up for it, tonight is a pivotal episode of Ghost in the Shell.  TV Listings calls it ‘Endless Gig’, Wikipedia ‘Return to Patriotism’.  I call it ‘Sacrifice of the Tachikomas’.

Last chance to see Lawrence O’Donnell and Chris Hayes, and at that only the one because we want to watch prison documentaries, especially those with Joe Arpaio.

From 9 to 10 Toon has the 2 part Clone Wars where Anakin rescues R2, but it’s going head to head with a Phineas & Ferb premier on Disney with the added short feature- Monster Truck Mater.

Later-

Dave has Madonna and Harry Connick Jr..  Alton talks about knives.

AMC has The Ninth Gate, actually a pretty fair horror flick with Johnny Depp.  Turner Classic is showing Let’s Spend the Night Together, the 1983 Rolling Stones tour documentary.

Adult Swim has moved Children’s Hospital (premier) to a new time, midnight.  Tonight’s Venture Brothers episode is Are You There, God? It’s Me, Dean.  Look Around You has episode 1 of season 2, Music 2000.

No Keith, Rachel.  The Boys are back in town for their final appearance this week.

You know, it’s not just his ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy that puts me off Schwarzenegger, or even his Republicanism; it’s the misogyny of his movies, epitomized by True Lies but equally evident in vehicles like Eraser.

I’ll never watch another one again except under duress.

Later-

Dave has Paul Rudd, Bill Burr and Interpol.  Jon has Liev Schreiber, Stephen Andy Cohen.  Alton cooks with alcohol.  Mid-life Chrysalis.

Apparently this is the reward I get for years of screwing with super-science. In short, I pissed in God’s eye, and he blinked.

Prime Time

No Keith, Rachel.  The Boys are back in town.

8 – 2 last night, much more entertaining than a no-hitter.  Jon, I’m going to give you some personal advice, once that beard starts itching in a week or two you won’t be able to get rid of it fast enough.

Men of Honor is good, but not so good I’d watch it twice in a row.  Charlie is the Johnny Depp version.  New Mythbusters @ 9- Bottle Bash.

Later-

  • AMCTroy (Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?)
  • SciFiHaven
  • Turner ClassicsNetwork
  • USABurn Notice (this week’s)

Dave has Michael Keaton and The Flaming Lips.  Jon has Robert L. O’Connell, Stephen Elon Musk.  Alton does Molasses.

Ice Station Impossible is the introduction of Professor (voice of Stephen Colbert) and Sally Impossible, and Pete White and Billy Quizboy.  It includes the death of Race Bannon (Yeah, they never show that part on TV.)

Does Random House have some kind of deal where it’s authors can’t be listed in Wikipedia?

Prime Time

If you took my advice and watched ESPN last night you saw the 5th No-Hitter of the year and the first ever for the Devil Rays.

Yawn.

Comedy starts off with Futurama but rapidly declines.  ESPN has World Series of Poker!

I’m tempted to live blog.

No Keith, Rachel.  The Boys are back.

Later-

Dave has Luke Wilson and Dierks Bentley.  Jon interviews Fareed Zakaria, Stephen Kevin Kline.  The late Futurama is Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV, one on my favorite episodes.

Alton cooks Brussels Spouts.  I love them!  Ghosts of the Sargasso introduces the X-2 and the Pirate Captain who both eventually end up with Jonas Venture Jr.

Ronald Wilson Reagan playing Grover Cleveland Alexander, what could be better than that?
