RIP Riches
About two months ago, I would have offered to eat my own toes if Beverly Hills Chihuahua, in its second week of release, beat out the DiCaprio-Crowe-Scott thriller Body of Lies at the box office. I easily would have offered to move on to my fingers if horror fest Quarantine, starring Dexter’s sister in an effort to enhance her status as the most annoying actress on the planet, would also top Body of Lies. I’d be feasting down right now.
This is not the same Britney Spears we saw on the 2007 VMAs. This one is toned. Thank God. Best to leave your computer on mute though and just watch the video.
Bad news for fans of one of my favorite shows, The Riches. FX decided not to renew it. I can see why, the show is a little out there, even for FX. When it worked, it was some of the best stuff on TV. That usually entailed anything involving Wayne, Dahlia, the traveler camp or Wayne’s workplace. But when you threw in the kids, Wayne’s boss or crazy next door neighbors, it got tedious. And the lame brain situations they put the family in went from “I guess it can happen” in the first season to “You have to be effing kidding me” in the strike-shortened second season. But at least it never went Prison Break on us.
You know who needs a hit? Cameron Crowe. Like crazy. Is this it?
As if it’s not considered pretentious enough by the populous, now we have a guide for the correct way to discuss Mad Men. The sad part? I’m down with this list 110 percent. It’s also a good refresher if you wanna catch up.
I love arguing lists. Love it. But this one is right in my wheelhouse and is about as good as I could have done. Two exceptions. Take out the Fight Club one and insert You’re the Best from Karate Kid, and somewhere you have to add in Ooh La La from Rushmore.
Just in case you’re wondering what the best way to make fun of a Cowboys fan is after yesterday’s blocked punt-TD to end it, perhaps you just go way off the grid and mention this. It can’t be sitting well.
Five years ago, Tina Fey was a writer for a TV show. Now, she’s ruining political careers. Go figure.
