Can someone take this third-rate publicity whore and throw him down a well?  Sheesh, what a pest!

I have been honored with the title “Master” over at this new Facebook group. Do come join us for discussions regarding this remake of one of television’s classic series, which will star Johnny Depp.

See? Facebook is worth a damn after all!

Hollywood suffered a whopper of a loss here.  Not only was he a fine actor, but a humanitarian and a good man all the way through.  I’ll have to break out Cool Hand Luke and Hud to celebrate the man’s life tonight.

Variety Magazine reports on Uli Edel, who shows bad taste in both glorifying these degenerate Communist murderers in celluloid and then boasting about being told of the executioners of Hannes Martin Shleyer, an industrialist and chairman of the German Employers’ Organization.

The voice of perhaps the most beloved Beagle to grace the TV sceen (and print) for so many years has passed away.

The Los Angeles Times does justice in describing Melendez’s many achievements here.

A sample of his work can be seen below:

You didn’t know his name, but you surely knew his voice.  A sad loss for the TV world.  LaFontaine was 68.  RIP.

Goran Rusinovic, a Croatian filmmaker, has walked away with the Sarajevo prize after his film, Buick Riviera, took the top honors at the Sarajevo Film Festival.  Congratulations to him for this big win.

They’re back!  All you folks into corny pot jokes beware!

Perhaps the most important director in Middle Eastern history has passed away after battling a brain hemorrage.  I didn’t care for his anti-Americanism, but the body of work he layed out, especially that of the film Cairo: Central Station left an indelible impression.
