1. Just saw the latest Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino. I thought that Eastwood was excellent and his performance reminded me of John Wayne in The Shootist. If Eastwood would act his acting career with this performance it would be a great way to do it.
2. NBC is going with Jay Leno Monday-Friday at 10 pm with a talk show. The rest of the schedule will be devoted to their few hit shows and the never ending cheap programming of reality TV and game shows. I mean, come on now, do we really need more reality shows?
3. What is the big deal about American Idol? I can only name two winners, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood who have any kind of music career at all. The other one I know is Jennifer Hudson, who did not even win the stupid title. Why do people watch this crap, all it is karaoke!
4. With NBC giving up on quality tv, I have to wonder why there are so many good shows on cable. TNT has The Closer, Saving Grace, and Leverage. USA has Monk, Psych, and Burn Notice. FX has Damages. These are good quality shows with great acting performances from their star studded cast. Maybe these cable network guys should be running NBC.
5. Another thing about Clint Eastwood, look at his career. I remember in the late 70's you could not find any books about Eastwood's films. Now, almost 30 years later, tons of books and two movies that he directed as Oscar picks for Best Film. Amazing how so many people back then could not see the talent in this fine actor and director.
6. Finally, a rant about OctoMom. Why in God's name did anybody OK the medical expenses for this woman who is psychologically damage, who cannot afford to take care of her six kids let alone these new eight, yet has money for plastic surgery to make herself look like Angelina Jolie. I cannot get my health insurance to pay to remove skin tags from my back because they say it is cosmetic, yet this woman gets all these medical treatment to have eight kids. Unbelievable.
