Aside from the incredibly large portions served at American restaurants (can’t finish even my favorite dishes), I am stunned by the amount of reality TV on American television. It seems like every show on TV is a reality show. What is going on?
Yesterday, I saw some show on FOX hosted by Monica Lewinsky. [...]

“Unfortunately, Pittsburgh has not taken advantage of its beautiful geography. Last time we were here, we drove to the top of the hills overlooking the city expecting to find mansions in that prime real estate. Instead it was a very run-down neighborhood of crack houses and other unsavory things.”
Like viper pits? Troll caves? Were there [...]

Pittsburgh: The Venice of America. Just kidding, but it does look quite a bit like Portland. It looks like a more ratty Portland. Like Portland, it sits on a couple of rivers and has some decent sized hills rising behind the city. It really looks more like PDX than any [...]

Hill will always be considered a great American martyr amongst liberals for daring to take universal health care to capitol hill.

It looks like Hillary Clinton will soon be releasing her anxiously awaited autobiography for which she received $7 million dollars. Simon & Shuster gave her the hefty advance because they expect details about the Clinton scandals. Of course, Hillary will neg out on the deal and offer nothing but a self-gloryfying book that [...]

It’s time for Dorrk.com’s semi-monthly vomit of new material:
On the front page, a screenplay pitch letter to American hero Tim Robbins.
Also, the DVD review links have been updated, with reviews of the following:

Dawson’s Creek: Season One
Ran: The Masterworks Edition
Little Big Man
Young Guns: Special Edition

Enjoy, if possible.

Today I’m writing from Harrisburgh, PA. We left the Hamptons this morning and drove across Staten Island, Jersey, and into PA. I crossed the Verrazano bridge today. The toll was $7!!!! Unbelievable. No wonder that guy jumped off in Saturday Night Fever.
Yesterday, we walked along the beach at the Hamptons [...]

Man, I’m so envious of you having gotten to be at that wedding. I so wish we could have been there. Where are they going on their honeymoon? It would be cool if they went to Anderson. Nothing to distract them there.
It’s 6:30AM here in Long Island. We’ve [...]

Iraqi intelligence documents discovered in Baghdad by The Telegraph have provided the first evidence of a direct link between Osama bin Laden’s al-Qa’eda terrorist network and Saddam Hussein’s regime.

When I told Eric I heard about this following story on Fox News he laughed cruelly at me (in college, I had once told him I was sure I heard Nelson Mandela decalre in a specch, Our great banana is tearing us apart!”)
But here is a link which, like the Fox News report, attributes the [...]

We watched Friday’s 20/20 segment on David Beckham tonight on tape. It makes you wonder how many facts they mess up in stories I know nothing about when I can catch some glaring errors in a puff piece about subject I’m uncomfortably familiar with.
A key boner was the reporter’s pointless confusion of Beckham’s crucial goal [...]

Was a splendid affair. An intimate gathering in a tiny 120-year-old church in the middle of frickin’ nowhere. Very romantic and classy and so unlike the movies that Mike models the rest of his life after (Blake Edwards’ A Fine Mess?). Gina has been a great blessing to our dear friend and we couldn’t be [...]

It’s been awesome seeing all the new 80’s shows on Vh-1. When the 80’s were over, I never imagined that I would get to see all that stuff again.
There were songs, tv shows, movies I thought I would never ever see again in my whole life. I never thought I’d see [...]

“Does the lifestyle of England captain, David Beckham truly sum up the essence of black culture — or is it our perception of black culture, which is being misread?”

Um, what?
BTW — Beckham and wife Victoria (“Posh”) are featured on tonight’s 20/20. Should be an agreeable subsitute for those unable to attend Mike’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

I have had this song in my head all morning that won’t go away. Not a song I am very familiar with, its just that some small section of the chorus has snagged itself onto a part of my brain (the part that provides the day’s soudtrack, I guess). It took me a while to [...]

Yes, it’s true. I am in a comedy show in Hollywood. However, it’s not my shining moment. It’s not really close. However, I will be advertising the hell out of the blog (and maybe listing others help) when I direct Speed-the-Plowthis September. Then, I have another directing project after that. I am also directing, doctoring [...]

by definition. Shouldn’t people who protest the war in Iraq be called war protestors? And those of a who disagree with them anti-war protestors? Or can you not protest a protest? Perhaps you can only protest an active policy. In other words I am not and antiwar protestor now since this administrations has used war [...]

An article from the NY Times linked on Drudge interviews an Iraqi scientist who claims Iraq discreetly destroyed all of its weapons on the eve of the war.
What sense would this make? If Saddam had done this months earlier under the U.N.’s watch there likely wouldn’t have been a war and he could’ve stayed in [...]

In case anyone actually reads this blog, it’s been pretty desolate of late. Listing the reasons why paints a simultaneously tumultous and joyful period for all of our bloggers:

I’ve been processing materials from my Asian vacation into an attractive DVD. (Web version coming soon, time permitting)
Amy and I are expecting our first baby
Mike is getting [...]

A CNN show Saturday contained a translated clip on an interview with an Iraqi “man on the street.”
This is what he said: “It is chaos in Iraq! A massacre! People are being killed! We need politicians and a government to complain to!”
Spoken like true democrat. Who says we can’t export American democracry to the Middle [...]
