Why I pay for cable
I’ve wanted to rhapsodize about Turner Classic Movies for a while now. It’s the only reason I continue to pay for cable (okay, maybe NFL football as well). As I type, TCM is playing The Lineup with Eli Wallach, 1958, a selection by this evening’s celebrity guest programmer, James Ellroy, which I’ve never seen before. […]
Confidence
I went looking for a video of the opening of the Kenneth Clark series, Civilisation, where the host speaks about society and confidence. Though I didn’t find it, I discovered that on Oct. 22 someone had posted Clark’s statement from the end of the series which refers to the remarks on confidence at the beginning;

Just an FYI (that spins into a post about James Bond)
If you pop in here and things look a little strange, you should know that I use this site to test and modify Wordpress templates for others.
Actually, this was the real reason I restarted the blog. In the long run, I can see this place getting a little busier with a few more posts, and […]
Black hole
I saw The Black Dahlia on DVD the other night. Everything you’ve read about it is true. The film is a confusing, tedious mess.
How I became a fan of spricket24
What can I say? A very funny vlogger. Here’s her archive. I simply love the 69 video. But it was the “Fun with a HAT!” entry that did it for me. It’s a little over the top at the beginning, but when she settles down to tell us about her Christmas adventures with fudge, at […]
This kad’s a killer
Super Dave! It was bound to happen sooner or later, someone I know would start vlogging on YouTube. If anything, my former colleague is an honest film reviewer. So let’s hear about how he fell asleep while watching the new Jim Carrey movie, The Number 23.
Honey? Cancel the cable
Online video. You want it? You got it, all in one place at OVGuide.
No exception to the rule
Someone just posted this on YouTube, a live version of “Everybody Plays the Fool,” a 1972 hit by the original group, The Main Ingredient. I was a little boy when it came out, and I believe it wasn’t too long after this song hit the charts that I proved for the first–but certainly not for […]
Starry Chet
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Chet Atkins playing “Vincent” by Don McLean.
We see how how Atkins took a well-known piece of music and made it more beautiful. If there is one word I would use to describe what I love about Atkins playing, it’s “restraint”; the sense that the song, the […]
In the beholder’s eye
Found this video very entertaining; The 30 Most Beautiful Football Goals (soccer) compiled by someone called Edward. In particular I like the way the number 1 goal is shown (spoiler ahead). It’s not the 1970 “Wonder goal” by Carlos Alberto, “for which he was recently awarded a trophy by football governing body Fifa for the […]
