Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Born into Blood
Monday, December 14th, 2009Dexter concluded its season last night and I had to note that I called the ending about a month ago. I told my wife that the “cycle always repeats. Rita is history. Dexter’s son got a dark passenger.”
I don’t think Trinity killed Rita though. He didn’t gloat about it on the table, did he? Time will tell.
This is such a great series, my favorite on television. I was glued to the set watching this series unfold all season.
My childhood friend, James Manos Jr., created this series for TV. I guess Brooklyn drives imagination in many different ways.
John Lithgow was wonderful. What a creepy and perfect serial killer. My bet is that he will win an Emmy for this set of performances. Watch the series online or buy the DVD set when it is available. Dexter is worthwhile television.
As another aside, we went to see Invictus this weekend as well. I give it 3 stars. It is a worthwhile film with very restrained performances by Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. You could tell it was a Clint Eastwood film, very efficient and very tight. I wanted more but we enjoyed the film and I would recommend it to my friends.
It is a Dirty Job but Someone Has to Do It
Saturday, December 5th, 2009VERSUS has a new show starring Junior Seau. He is focused on doing the hands-on work on people in the sports industry.We were fortunate to have him work with us for a week at the Washington Capitals as a ”roadie.” He even attended and worked the opening game against the Bruins in Boston.
Check out this promo on the show and if you have the time, check it out next week as it debuts. Details here.
Junior was an impressive man; very poised and funny and hard working. And he got the game puck and a signed Ovechkin jersey for helping us win our season opener on the road. Go Caps!

VERSUS vs. DirecTV
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009I am a DirecTV subscriber. I feel your pain.
As I understand it, you should be writing to DirecTV NOT to me about this carriage of the network issue.
Here is information from NHL.com. Please email or call DirecTV NOT me. Thank you.
I also understand that your local cable company may have some good offers regarding NHL games and season ticket passes. Don’t hesitate to call your local cable company, too, to find out what to do to watch the games.
I want to help BUT I don’t own DirecTV or the cable MSO or VERSUS. Please communicate directly with them as I have. Thank you.
Punctuation IS YOUR Friend

Reminds me of, “I am Ron Burgundy?” 
Brooklyn Boyz
Thursday, August 27th, 2009I had an amazing reawakening experience yesterday; hear me out — so CAA represents me on some film producing activities; and has been very helpful to me on my film, Nanking.
An agent there sent me an email saying that an individual producer — writer — director — they also represent stated that he grew up with me in Brooklyn NY; that we played basketball together and attended the same church as me and that he wanted to reconnect.
The individual’s name is James Manos, Jr.. Click here for the Wikipedia entry on him and his career.
James Manos — holy cow — (more…)
Shark Tank
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009I was asked to consider being a judge on Shark Tank but I passed. I have met Mark Burnett several times and he thought I would do well on this show.
I thought the commitment was too time intensive and I didn’t want the hyper public scrutiny of being on network television. I watched the show Sunday night and thought it was fun and fairly realistic although most deals take six months to conclude NOT six minutes and they certainly aren’t proposed in an auction kind of environment that favors the businessman not the investor.
So what do you think? Did I make a mistake by not going on the show? Or did I make a wise decision in not going for it? Let me know what you think. Thank you. And check out the show sometime. Good television.
Stereotypical
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009I was working out and flipping through the channels on my TV and stumbled on Bill Maher interviewing former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
A Q&A session then follows. Bill says to her, ”Say the first thing that jumps into your mind when I say a name.”
He says, ”Osama Bin Laden”. She says “Nuts” and the audience laughs.
He says, “Idi Amin”. She says “Nuts” and the audience giggles.
He says, “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran”. She says “Nuts”. Audience laughs.
He says, “George W. Bush”. Audience boos and she says “Nuts”. Audience belly laughs.
He says “President of France Sarkozy”. She says “Dynamic” and the audience gives a loud ovation.
What lazy programming. Just mail it in, Bill.
