There was a time when I'd anticipate the AFI top 100 lists for weeks. I'd try to guess all 100 of the winners in advance, in order, and keep track of how many I got right. Now, it's all I can do to catch about half an hour of the show.
I've been reading a lot of good tributes to dads lately -- seems like a great day to share some of them! (I know, it never rains but it pours around here. You might want to set aside a half-hour or so if you want to read every one of these.)
The question that not enough people are asking.
Mr. Lileks! You don't SERIOUSLY believe that all modern-day Sinatra fans are in it for the Mob Cool thing, do you? I did not expect such a narrow view from you, my columnistic (is that a word?) idol.
I've got a review in the current issue of National Review, of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go. Excellent book. There, I just spared you the trouble of reading the review. :-) If you've got a subscription to NR, though, you can pull up the digital version on their website.
Please read this blog entry from Karen Hall, sister of Joan of Arcadia's creator (and a TV writer in her own right). And then fire off a note to Sony as suggested. You may know that Joan's chances are looking pretty dead right now -- but Ms. Hall seems to think there just might be a sliver of hope. And if there ever was a show that deserved a second chance, folks, this is it.
I just sent the following to faces@thewb.com. You might consider sending something similar (politely worded, of course).
