Like everything else in Hollywood, they make them because they're successful. I don't know why because I don't generally care for cop shows. I only watch if there's cast that draws me in, like Law & Order: SVU, or SouthLAnd. I will be watcing NCIS: Red, but only because of my deep and abiding love for Scott Grimes.
My favorite stuff always tends to be totally NOT that kind of show. Hell, my obsession these days is the exact opposite. It's a little cult phenom that's starting to make waves in the mainstream about outlaw bikers, Sons of Anarchy. Before that, I was obsessed with another little cult show about family & football in a small Texas town, Friday Night Lights. And before that it was JoA.
So I am obviously with you in my disdain for boring procedurals. There's a lot of weird sc-fi/fantasy coming too. But none of them sound all that exciting to me either.

And Kevin Girardi moves on from Lorelei Gilmore and takes on Rory Gilmore in a new show as well. Whuuut?

I only saw the photo in passing, didn't open it and read it. I barely got to look at Facebook Thursday and Friday.

Cool! Off to check 'em out. Been out all day. Dave and I saw Iron Man 3. When Dale Dickey showed up onscreen, I leaned over to Dave and said "I'm one degree from Iron Man, I've been in a room with her." LOL! She was in the play we saw Mike & Aaron in when the Dorquettes went to LA in 2008. And then I saw Miguel Ferrer onscreen and said, "And I've had a beer with him." That was at Dixie Trek in 1986.

Was that before or after he posted his "family portrait" of him and Jaime with their two Shiba Inu dogs?

That's great. Wow, time sure flies, doesn't it?

I think the point of it was that the main guy, Robin was so wound up with worry all the time, he was letting life pass him by. With his dad having just died, he really needed to learn to snap out of it and try to enjoy living instead of being so scared of everything.
Also, it had the structure of a really good little short story with a cute little twist at the end. That's what I liked. I didn't care much for Chris's jerk character. But he did look awfully adorable when he snagged Robin's cap & glasses and put them on. I'd like to see screencaps of that part.
I noticed they dedicated the film to John Robinson's dad, who had recently passed away. So I suspect it was a very personal story for Aaron & John. My main complaint is that I wish Aaron had played Robin instead of Dov, just because I miss seeing Aaron onscreen.
I liked that Jon Foster had a hand in all of the music. And that Kris Lemche sang a song.

Maria found the film online. It a little over 15 minutes long. Really terrific.
Thanks Maria!

Dan Fogler's movie with Josh Duhamel, Scenic Route, which premiered at SXSW, is going to Cannes! How cool is that? Can't wait to see Dan enjoy that ride.

Good grief, y'all. You gotta check this out. In the typical New Yorker drawing of the Boston Bombers, which one of our favorite TV characters does the younger brother remind you of? Now I'm looking at real photos of the guy more closely. If they made a movie about this case when Chris was about 20, he could've played White Hat easily. That kinda creeps me out.

Spending good quality time with her on the weekends is a great thing for both of you. She will eventually adjust to your schedule. They all do. Dogs love routines. Getting up at the same time, eating at the same time, going out at the same time. You're doing fine.
#346 Re: Square Eyes » Misc Stuff » 15 Apr 13 :: 19:16
I saw "42" on Saturday. It's amazing how many great people are in it. TR Knight has a great little part and he's wonderful in it. He gets a few really funny lines. Also from Grey's, they hired The Chief. And then they had Lucas Black playing PeeWee Reese, which was pure awesome. And ironically he was in the Friday Night Lights movie, while the cast also included Derek Phillips and the dude who played the Riggins' dad in the FNL TV show. Ryan Merriman was in it too. So was Alan Tudyk. Oh yeah, and Chris Meloni.
In addition to the fact that the cast is awesome, the movie is just terrific. Really entertaining, and emotional. I loved it.
#347 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Pet discussions » 15 Apr 13 :: 19:11
How does she do when you're not home? Since my dogs are adults, they're fine when I leave. But I'm pretty much a homebody so I guess they know they can count on me to be home most nights. I hardly ever go out during the week. When I do, it's usually a work event that I have no choice but to attend. Wish I had a better answer. My lack of puppy-raising experience betrays me.
#348 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Randomness » 11 Apr 13 :: 02:51
Well, I'm glad you did. Always great to see you.

What's up, Simon?
BTW, for those of you who have never seen the Chris as a Chippendale thing in Simon's signature, you owe it to yourself to watch it. It's pure gold. LOL! I've been trying to find it again for ages. Gotta share with the folks in the CM Facebook group! ]:D
