Gourmets of Wine

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Xbiz.com] XBiz - The Industry Source: Last night Jason Sechrest, porn publicist, reality tv actor, cabaret star, and all around wag shelled out $300 to sponsor the evening and promote his site, Jasonscurious. He had visited PSK before and sung a song from (Cabaret? Chicago?) and treated the audience to his best eight minutes of heterophobic straight-bashing standup, accusing us all of wanting to hit him with baseball bats.

[Herald-review.com] Crouching Weblog, Hidden Baldwin (Tim Cain Weblog) » General: Earlier this month, I blogged about Entertainment Weekly’s “buried treasure” list. One of the items on the list was “The Star Wars Holiday Special,” a truly odd program from 1978 that featured Art Carney, Bea Arthur, Harvey Korman, Diahann Carroll and the Jefferson Starship alongside Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford.

[Whiterose.org] A Perfectly Cromulent Blog: February 2004 Archives: I'm not sure what the problem with this is. Was there that much outrage when Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in Batman? I do remember the mass fanboy apoplexy that took place when Michael Keaton was cast as the Dark Knight, and he seemed to handle the role just fine. In other news, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man had organic web shooters, Hugh Jackman is way too tall for Wolverine, and Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor had hair.

[Whiterose.org] A Perfectly Cromulent Blog: The Boob Toob Archives: It had performed underwhelmingly in its first season, and CBS - for some reason - felt that asking for feedback from drunks yanked off the street in Sin City was the best way to improve their troubled show.[1] I wish I had a copy of the questionnaire, but I remember being especially critical of such things as: the shrewish mother-in-law, the meddling parents in general, the precociously wiseass kids, and the already worn-out trope of the hapless husband. We turned in our answers, were thanked for our participation, and were dumped back onto the darkening streets of Vegas without even an autographed Doris Roberts photo for our efforts. We hit the bar as soon as out feet could get us to one, and it wasn't until a few years later that I saw a promo for the same show on TV and blurted out, "That piece of shit is still on the air?"

[Jerseybeat.blogspot.com] Jersey Beat: Jersey pop-punkes SSRI hadn't played out in months and you might not see them again for a while; lead singer Jon is off to get his MBA in the Fall. But last night, their first gig in months, they were smoking -- all the old crowd-pleasing favorites like "Win! Fight! Go!" and "Bare Ass Naked," and a bunch of new songs too (my favorite was "The Superhero Song.")
