He is Big Bird (and a part of us, too...)

It's hard not to get emotional  watching this. The man  has dedicated his life to teach us  and to give us great childhood memories. Can't wait to see this. Caroll Spinney is a true living legend.

"Reports, Coffee or Lunch": Marvel's Agent Carter 1x07- "Snafu" Review

Agent Carter a favorite from the Captain America movie. Happy to see Dominic Cooper back as Howard Stark, even if only for the "Previously On" bit at the start of the episode.

By the way, a quick historical tidbit: SNAFU is a WWII military slang that meant "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up (or Fouled Up). Which is basically, what happens on this episode.

Russia 1943 - Like I always say history makes everything better and a series set in the 40s made it one of my favorites before I had seen a single episode. At this point, I'm not paying a lot of attention to what their saying. We are in a medical camp in a Russian front line and they have to amputate a young soldier’s leg. And immediately we get a flashback in a flash back and already I'm wondering where Peggy Carter is. She was arrested in the last episode and I don't know who any of these people are.

Patience is not one of my strong suits.

"Dean Winchester vs. Zeus": Supernatural 10x14: "The Executioners Song" Review

I don't watch the shows live. I record them on my dvr and watch them the next day. I always see the last two minutes of the Flash. This one has the bad guy from Highlander being attacked by a giant gorilla. According to my brother, the gorilla is a famous character from the Flash Comics. I nod and move on to Supernatural.

I became a fan many years ago, after working on TV conventions and actually meeting Jared Padalecki and Jim Beaver in person. I was a personal assistant to both before I watch a single episode. And thank goodness I did. If I had to work with Jared nowadays, I'd be giggling like a heart-struck twelve-year old. But back then, it was just a job. I could go on about my experiences as an old P.A, but this is about the new episode of the tenth season of the show, so on to the review.

Yes, Mrs. Patmore! Coming, Mrs. Patmore!

Downton Abbey : The Complete Scripts: Season 1

I want this. Badly. All the scripts from season one plus notes from the author.

"Ironing newspapers is a cliché in a way because everyone knows it was done; but on the other hand a lot of people still think they were ironed to make them flat, as opposed to being ironed so that the ink would dry. It is sometimes quite fun to correct these common misapprehensions"

Reading this, I mean really, you can feel your brain getting bigger.

Also, I would like to write a spec script for kicks.

Boston - More Than a Feeling (1976)

One of the greatest songs ever.

Although THIS is my favorite version:

I have...

... a girl crush on Tina Fey.

Nah, but seriously, I want her to be my writing mentor.

Step 1: Catch up on 5 seasons of 30 Rock (Done.)
Step 2: Get my hands on a 30 Rock script for format reference.
Step 3: Write 30 Rock spec script
Step 4: Get an agent and hope for the best

OR

Steps 1 thru 3
Step 4: Tina Fey has a vacation in Orlando, walks into my store, she hires me to write for her on the spot.

Anything's possible.

Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plan Pour Moi (1977)

 

This song just makes me want to grab my bags and travel to Europe.

Or

Makes me wanna just run fast like a maniac to nowhere in particular.

Or both:

Might as well...

 

I started watching Regular Show. Here's my rendition of Mordecai drawn in MS Paint. I have yet to see the Death Punch (or something like that) episode and my bro says it's the shit.

The Grand Poobah

The Golden Girls is my favorite sitcom of all time. My DVD boxes are falling apart because I've seen every season so many times.

Nobody could deliver a line like Bea Arthur (Dorothy, in the middle) and this clip shows how amazing she was. When she died two years  years ago I cried as if someone close to me, like my own grandmother, had died. I've been watching the show over ten years now and I can watch marathons still. It just never gets old. (Although the ladies did. All are gone except Betty White. And as much as everyone loves her these days, Bea really was the center, the rock of that show.)

This is the type of sitcom I would love to write for. You just needed a living room, a kitchen and four amazing actresses to deliver one great line after the other. They were able to engage an audience with zero gimmicks. You can close your eyes and STILL laugh. I think all great sitcoms are like that, great radio shows in disguise.

Here's my favorite Dorothy clip:

You could say she was the Grand Poobah of the Golden Girls.
