February 1, 2007 - Yesterday a great American died. I'm speaking of Molly Ivins, perhaps the greatest enemy pompous windbags ever knew.

 
 

February 7, 2007 - Astronaut Blues

Oh, my, now we've got a crazy astronaut. It was only a matter of time, and as Americans we know there must be a solution to this urgent problem. After all, if one can crack up, what's to stop the others? We could be facing hordes of sex-crazed, free-fall-disoriented space monkeys in orange pressure suits and diapers terrorizing our streets with hammers and pepper spray and BB guns.

September 6, 2007 - The Movie That Wouldn't Die

We just saw The Invasion, the fourth iteration of a Collier’s Magazine story by Jack Finney that later became a novel and then one of the most well-remembered creepy movies from the pulpish days of 1950s science fiction.

 
 

September 11, 2007 - Son of the Bride of the Movie That Wouldn't Die Returns!!!

Not too long after they started issuing DVDs with a kajillion “extra features” I stopped watching most of them, except for the blooper reels, if they had them. Like so many people, I thought that “director’s commentary,” sometimes as many as four participants contributing, would be really interesting. Then I watched some.

 
 

October 5, 2007 - Movies Lee Didn't Want To See

Lee is out of town, up in Oregon for a while, and I’m still here in Hollywood. Bummer. Without a car. Double bummer. I’m supposed to be getting started on a new novel, which I don’t have a title for yet. Triple bummer.
