Mostly Grim
Grim news from beyond our shores. The bombing of the Askariyah shrine in Samarra has pushed Iraq closer to a full blown civil war. Grim news from our shores. Not the Bush administration's secret deal with Dubai Ports, but the public disgust with the Schwarzenegger administration's handling of coastal issues. Only 28% of respondents in a poll by the Public Policy Institute of California gave Schwarzenegger a favorable rating on the state of the state's beaches. Worse still for Schwarzenegger,
February 23, 2006It WAS A Good Night, Thanks
"No one man can terrorize a nation, unless we are all his accomplices." -Edward R. Murrow So I missed Good Night and Good Luck in the theaters. I'm glad. The whole thing's about television anyway, and its poignancy is especially felt on the small screen. Television (indeed, all media) can insulate its consumers from reality, but ideally it can be the ultimate educational tool, a boon to society, and not just when the pay-porn channels accidentally unscramble for a weekend. What if the internet
March 23, 2006Another Star Chamber Turn
My colleague Alex Brant-Zawadzki is right about the potential of television for doing good– his pro-having-sex-with-George Clooney stance, I'll pass over in silence– but Edward R. Murrow is long dead, and TV nowadays seems to be mostly offering up "the evil of banality", to use Alex Cockburn's evocative phrase. One of the cornerstones of that banality is reruns. Another is fact-free, shamelessly manipulative advertising. And thanks to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce devotion to Governor
March 23, 2006Monday's Haul
Save our gay bar: Gay activists are reaching out to George Clooney and Brad Pitt, asking that the actors buy Laguna Beach's Boom Boom Room—which is on its way to becoming a boutique hotel. Darn it: The Daily Pilot just snagged itself a new managing editor. We're still turning over rocks for one over here. Stabbing suspect arrested: A suspect in a three-person slashing at Dana Point was arrested in Long Beach yesterday night, reports the Times. Paris checks in early: Scared and stripp

City pays hookers: to leave. La Habra plans to buy itself a strip club, reports the LAT. After trying to shut down the Taboo Gentlemen's Club for almost a decade, they've decided to put $5.2 million down to get the guy in charge and his gals to 'git. Boom Boom Room Doom? The co-owners of the iconic Laguna Beach gay bar tried everything to save it from being phased out by the new building owner. They asked George Clooney and Brad Pitt to intervene, they threw a pretty boy contest with minor cele
August 22, 2007LYT's Film Pick of the Weekend 10-12-07
My pick for this week is.... TYLER PERRY'S WHY DID I GET MARRIED? Just kidding. But I think I know the answer to the question posed in the title. It's something along the lines of “because black people stick together and that's the way Jesus likes it.” Yes, I might have had to see a Tyler Perry movie or two in the course of my employment as a film reviewer. I did get to see WE OWN THE NIGHT, but I can't wholeheartedly recommend it, unless you're the type of viewer for whom seeing Eva Men
October 12, 2007Oscar Nominations are announced
And yes, I'm up prior to the crack of dawn to get them to you. The biggest surprise, if you can call it that, is the strong showing by MICHAEL CLAYTON, with six nominations. Not so surprisingly, THERE WILL BE BLOOD and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN each have eight. Via CNN, because it announced even before the official Oscar site: The nominees for best picture are "No Country for Old Men," "There Will Be Blood," "Atonement," "Juno" and "Michael Clayton." JUNO? Really? Just goes to show there's a ri

Sports fans (and recovering drug addicts) definitely should checkout a copy of this month's Esquire with George Clooney on the cover.
