WHAT TV TAUGHT ME ABOUT DRUGS

This was from the PDF of the proof for my article. There are a couple of errors. But the finished article is only in the actual physical magazine at a newsstand near you. I've written a couple of article for these people.

Man Demands refund for "Garden State" 15 years later

A local man is suing his local movie theater for the full ticket price of the 2004 film "Garden State."

"At the time I saw it, it seemed original and meaningful," said a man who wished to remain anonymous. "But then I started seeing other films and realized it was trite. The love interest was just a manic pixie dream girl, something you see in a lot of films."

 "I was tricked into thinking it was good by Zach Braff's charming interviews and the film's slow score."

The man won a similar court case last year against the same theater for the 2005 Oscar winner, "Crash. "
"That was a no brainer," said the owner of the movie theater being sued. "We made a lot of money on Crash.  And then we had to slowly give it back."

The movie theater has started to protect itself for further litigation. It's been noted that a "No Backsies" sign was posted during showings of "Green Book."

CBS returns to the well

CBS is launching a new sitcom this season called Broke.
Below is the description from Deadline Hollywood. Basically, a rich person loses everything and moves in with her "poor" relative. I put poor in quotes b/c they usually have a large house that can easily hold the relative(s) and a studio audience. Wait, doesn't the show have two broke girls... they should call it that! (also about a poor woman and rich woman who lost it all)

But most networks, CBS in particular, seem to repeat this premise. The rich person is unbearable and ungrateful, but they are family. Every week they seem to learn a bit more about life and then forget it by the next episode.

But I want to watch a show about the person being rich and having no consequences to their crazy actions or watch them crash and burn. Great, now I get to watch them give life lessons to a moppet kid and hug at a lot.

You want an example of another show Broke? Well there was a show back in the day called "Fired Up." OK, they weren't related and it was the 90's, but they both had bars. Here's the description from IMDB:
A creative executive, Gwen, and her long-time assistant, Terry are fired from their jobs. After 3 months, Gwen shows up at Terry's door, broke. Gwen cajoles Terry into going into business with her as equals, which proves difficult after their previous business relationship. Gwen also moves in with Terry and her brother, Danny. Gwen also has to fight off the advances of Danny's boss, Guy, who owns the bar below where the trio live.

Another common theme is the One man surrounded by women. The show is usually called "Ladies Man." The show revolves a widower or divorced guy who lives with or near his daughter, mom, love interest, assistant, gardener, caddy... all women! WHAT!!!???

Last year CBS did another old school plot with the teenage orphan moving in with her cool aunt/sister with the show "FAM." As a kid, these shows were great fantasies. "You mean I could live with my cool babysitter? The one with a motorcycle in his living room?

The show lasted a year. I have an issue with the term "Fam." Totally my deal. I once worked with an announcer who didn't know anyone's name and just called us "Fam." Years later, I worked with him again and he remembered my name, which is Fam apparently. He just said it with more conviction.

Me: Hello, Big Boy (that's his name)
BB: Hello, Fam.
Me: We worked together years ago at blah blah.
BB: OH! Hello, FAM!


CBS also had a show last year about a regular couple that has a rich and famous rock (or movie) star that moves in with them. It's called Happy Together, get it? Too late, it's canceled.  So after two failed shows about people with unwanted house guests, CBS made a new one?

Why not a show about a poor woman and her son that moves in with her rich sister and causes havoc? We'll call it Havoc! Get Steven Webber on the phone! Well, then try his home phone, you know he's got one!

There are some great unwanted house guest shows besides ALF.

BROKE (Comedy)

When an outrageously wealthy trust fund baby is cut off by his father, he and his wife move into her estranged sister’s Reseda home, forcing the two siblings to reconnect.

Baby crying. got to go. 

Felicity Huffman: "I was one of those students that tried to get away with doing as little as possible."

Felicity Huffman foreshadows her future college scams on the red carpet. When asking if she was a good student, the actress responded: "I was one of those students that tried to get away with doing as little as possible."

Dennis Pastorizo asked celebrities at an education fundraising event what kind of students they were. While most people said they worked really hard to get all "A's," Huffman was a little too honest. 

 


From USA Today:

BOSTON – Actress Felicity Huffman fought back tears as she pleaded guilty in Boston federal court Monday afternoon to charges in the nation's largest college admissions scandal, becoming the highest-profile defendant to admit to crimes in the blockbuster case.

The former "Desperate Housewives" actress admitted to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud for paying Rick Singer, the nationwide admissions scheme's alleged mastermind, $15,000 to have someone correct SAT answers for her oldest daughter. 

Eric's Super Hot Girlfriend, Canadian Model Dies Just Before Meeting His Friends

Model and Canada's premiere super spy has tragically died. She was very hot and very mysterious. People loved her. Canada's version of the president said in a statement, "She was very hot. Very hot. And loved to model and fight bad guys. But she had to stay in hiding in Canada so she could never come to the United States. Not even for prom, for example."

She is survived by her boyfriend 16-year-old, Eric Schieder, who she loved very much and did lots of sex with. They met at camp. Eric is so very sad about this death. "She was finally going to come and visit me in the States and even meet my friends. Ah, it would have been so cool. Oh, well."

The secret spy's last words were, "Goodbye cruel world. Although I regret not being able to meet Eric's friends and prove to them I am in fact very real, I will always treasure the time I spent with Eric having actual sex with him. Which we did do."

Services have not been set so stop asking.

Men Starve as "Captain Marvel" Reaches $800 Million

 Men across the country are sitting at their table with no dinner because their wives have decided to go to the movies.

This obvious threat to the American decency is nonother than the self-titled Marvel movie Captain Marvel. By putting a woman in the lead, the comic book company has hatched an evil plan to lore wives and mothers to the theater while their husbands starve and their children go to school without their hair being brushed properly.

One child was quoted as saying, "I got a celery sandwich, a rotten apple and a green sock for lunch today. Mom, please come home.

Experts weigh in on this issue and offer this piece of advice, "Don't be afraid to use brides to bring your woman home from enjoying herself at the theater so they can cook and clean."
One bribe they don't recommend,  coupon books for hugs. "This problem is deeper than that."

This is not the first time this web blog has made this observation.  This is a bigger problem than we expected!

10 Lies we tell each other in LA to survive

We have a basketball team called the “Lakers” – but no lakes.
The “LA River” has no water running through it.
We call actual traffic jams, “Sig-Alerts.” It’s not an “alert” if it’s actually happening.

Hollywood is a hard town. So we have to tell each other little lies so we don't go crazy and move to a place with realistic housing prices and actual jobs.

I present to you - 

How to decode  Lies We Tell Each Other in LA to Survive 

1. “Your meeting is at 11 AM.” = “Come at 11, get you a bottle of water and sit until noon.”
2. "We will think about it and get back to you." = “We will not and we won’t. Use that door.” 
3. “It’s a web show” = “No pay.”
4. “I’m just out there pitching shows.” = “I’m not working.”
5. “We’ll keep your resume on file.” = “You didn’t see the door? I just alluded to it.”
6. "I'm not suggesting this, I'm just letting you know it’s an option."  = “Do this. If I’m right, I get the credit. If I’m wrong, I’m able to blame you.”
7. "Yes." = “No”  
8. “I need a ninja/rock star PA.” = You’ll be doing Producer work at a PA rate.
9. "I love you." = "I know both your first and last name."
10. “Do you need parking validation?” = “Do you need parking validation?”

Star Wars Life Day Special gets a Redo

Life Day is going to be celebrated again! The infamous Holiday special that aired on ABC, "The Star Wars Holiday Special" is about to get a remake. Disney has decided to remake the TV show that's been a blight on Star Wars legacy.

"There's so much interest in a new special. One that's done right can play in a family's living room for Christmases for years and years to come.  Sid and Marty Cross are rumored to come out of retirement to cash in.

Men Starve as Wives Go "Girls Trip"

This country is facing a famine crisis. All over the nation men are left home to fend for themselves while the women are out four at a time watching the new movie, "Girls Trip."

"My wife came home saying, 'I'm a Jada,'" recalled one neglected husband, "I said, 'Is that the one who can cook? Because I'm hungry."

It's ironic that the main characters in the film call themselves the "Flossy Posse," said a frail man who hadn't eaten in 7 hours, "I wish I could floss. It's a waste of time."

Part time lawyer, Gary Alright said in his
lawsuit again the movie theater, "This is also discrimination. It's called 'Girl's Trip.' What about a movie for men. Like one where 3 or 4 men go to some place like Las Vegas? People would go nuts."

Because of the success of "Girls Trip," men are prepping themselves for the inevitable, a sequel!

Watching TV on the internet makes you smarter than people who watch TV on a TV

Studies show that if you watch TV shows on the internet and not on TV, you look smarter. "I love 'Two and a Half Men' reruns" will make you look like a neanderthal.

But if you say, "I Bit Torrent the 'Big Bang Theory.'" or "I caught 'Murphy Brown' on CBS All Access" you'll look smart. It's the new way of saying "I don't watch TV," when you clearly do. It's TV. You mean to tell me everyone on earth are hypnotized by the blue light of the TV, but you?

Remember when you could say "I don't watch TV, except for Jon Stewart?" Now that he's off the air, what's a pseudo intellectual to do?
Well you might be back in luck.

Emmy nominations predictions 2016: Pete Hammond (Deadline) & Tom O'Neil ...

Did SVU do a racist episode about tolerance?

Tonight's Law & Order:SVU, "Transgender Bridge" (my DVR called it "Transgender Bride"), was about a hate crime against a transgender teen. While it's great the show is addressing this hot button issue, they used old and racist tropes. Count them.


The transgender victim was a white, lived in a large, bright home with two very supportive parents. The perp is an African American teen who lives in a small apartment and has to make a hot pocket for his little sister because his single mother was "working a double."

The teen perp was in the park with his two friends and his sister. They were counting the money they made dancing, when they see the transgender girl. She was taking pictures. The teens harassed her while tons of African American teens egged them on and filmed it. One African American teen accidentally pushed the transgender teen off the bridge.

All the African American teens scatter. The only two people who stayed around, according to the cop on the scene, were two tourists, who were white. The cop on the scene corrects his pronoun ("he...her") but calls the other teens "Three black teens." Why not be totally PC and say African American?

In the first 5 minutes they show black people as close minded, violent, poor and uncaring. Meanwhile white people are caring, understanding, rich and good samaritans. Preventing and understanding hate crimes is important, but can we shed the racist stereotypes while we're at it?

Tangerine review

There was a period in the 90's when every movie had a more interesting back story. The way the movie was made was more interesting than the actual movie. The filmmakers shot the whole thing in a closed convenience store, it was paid for on credit cards, it cost $12.50 to make. 

It seemed like every Sunday The New York Times had another feature about a maverick indie movie. I went to all of them. 

"My LIfe's in Turnaround," "Fear of a Black Hat," "Clerks," "Go Fish..." I came into the city just to see the film. Most of the time the movie was ok and the behind the scenes story was great. 

I feel the same about "Tangerine." It was shot on an iPhone! Not even a 6, but a 5S! They used real locations! I couldn't wait to see a movie shot in my old neighborhood about the transgender hookers who were always on the block. 

Being shot on an iPhone, doesn't make it a good movie. My friend Owen Smith (name drop?) promotes his new comedy special as the comedy special shot on 8 iPhones, that he later returned. Is that enough to watch a stand up special? It happens to be funny too, but does it have to be? Well, yes. the iPhone is the gimmick to get you to rent the special. The quality is what gets you to finish it and recommend it.

The movie is two stories. One is about two sex workers who fill their day with drama and a frequent customer and his home life. 

Tangerine has a lot of great things going for it. The acting by the leads, who are non actors is really good and believable. There are a couple of great cameos from really good experienced actors that elevate the movie.

But there a tons and tons of traveling shots. The leads taking the bus, taking the subway, walking the street (that's why they call them street walkers!) and the cab driver driving his cab.  It felt like filler between scenes. I would have rather had a shorter movie or a third story line. 

Maybe the movie would have been better if it was written on text messaging. 

7 People I owe $ to. #5 will shock you

1. Rick ($100)
2. Sharlene ($2.50)
3. Sharlene's ex ($2.50)
4. Donut shop ($1 for many refills)
5. Rick ($400) (Why would he lend me money again? And more this time?)
6. Bus driver (1 fare)
7. The lady at the donut store (one glass display case)

Clint Eastwood gives free publicity to fake awards show

The coveted "Guy's Choice Awards," which rewards celebrities who have the best publicist, got a kick in the pants the other day when Clint Eastwood made a joke about Catlin Jenner. It was a nothing of a joke. The biggest problem with it was that it wasn't funny, I mean it made no sense. He just said a name of a famous person that he couldn't remember b/c he's old.

Spike TV,who airs the "awards" show, quickly pulled the joke and then told everyone about it. Seriously , has does anyone know about it, unless they told everyone about it?
I've been in the edit rooms. It's usually a couple of producers and the editor. What happened? Was the producers tweeting the editor?
.@Donnyeditor Whatever you do, don't tell anyone that you cut that @Catlinjenner joke #guyschoiceawards. #jkdo

I guess Jamie Foxxxxxx got a lot of press when he made his childish Bruce Jenner joke on the equally made up "I Heart Radio Awards." Which should be called, "Did Pitbull show up yet?"

Ok, must sleep. good night!
