Anyone remember this show from 2005? I like the Soaps that are either funny or Suspense/Thriller in mood. So, I enjoyed this (even though it scared me!!). It was much akin to a 1970s horror-flick, and kept the viewer hooked. However, the show was cancelled by the Fox network after less than a season though, which is odd, considering the success of shows like Revenge, which lacks the heart of this show and just focuses on the fear and violence aspects.

Odd what people ultimately keep on the air. And, considering the rough time Fox has had over the years (in comparison to the other major networks, I’d say the folks at Fox made a big mistake, thus cancelling a show that may have put the network ahead, if they had only given it at least a full season to prove itself.

‎Ratatouille (2008)

‎Ratatouille is the best Disney Pixar movie I have ever seen! I love it more than any computer-animated film! And, I usually don’t like computer-animation!! But, this one rocks, with it’s old-fashioned charm and quaint surroundings! Thank you, Disney! Finally, a computer-animated movie I can appreciate! And, it made me hungry! : - )

Harry's Law (TV series, 2012)

Isn’t it crazy how Kathy Bates got a nomination for a Golden Globe or Emmy, but they (NBC) cancelled her show?? And cancelled it not because of the ratings, but because the network didn’t like the age range that watched the show… Ugh, the youth-obsession of Hollywood!

Goodbye Again (1961)

Just saw a so-so film I hated, called Goodbye Again. While I didn’t enjoy the film, Ingrid was great! Can’t understand why people complained about her wardrobe, hair and all being too matronly, cause that’s when she looks her best! At her beauty-peak in middle-age! The older look suited her well! Much better than the young look of her years prior! In fact, I think that this movie, though not one I really liked, is worth seeing FOR HER LOOKS ALONE!

Ingrid looks better here than at any other time I’ve ever seen her. <3

1000 different ways to make the same movie and TV show...

There are a thousand different ways to see the same picture, and a million different ways to paint it. That’s why I often appreciate re-makes. Looking forward to the Bewitched and The Munstersreboots, coming soon. I’m not saying they will be as good as the originals, but it will be interesting to watch the different interpretations of the shows. Sometimes though, the re-make is better…

Here’s an example of a remake I actually think I prefer, “Miracle On 34th Street”:

1947 version:

1994 version:

Desi Arnaz and politics: a connection?

‎Desi Arnazwas quite possibly the best wheeler-dealer, clever-minded business man there could be! If he could build a TV-empire almost from scratch, imagine what he could have done for this country! I know many folks look down their noses at any connection being made between show-business and politics, but truth be known, they are both born of the same instinctual cloth.
