The end of the Coreys
Generation X hasn’t had one of it’s major icons that it completely owned die yet. Not really.
Michael Jackson rose to extreme fame during the 80s, but first tasted celebrity in the 70s. Maybe I’m missing someone, but all the members of Brat Pack are still alive, Madonna looks like she’s going to try to live to [...]

bigelow’s big night
Has anyone ever had a better Oscar night than Kathryn Bigelow?
The only thing she didn’t do during the four-hour telecast Sunday was cure cancer. Wait, did she? In the span of four hours, consider the following:
–She watched and smiled ear-to-ear and clapped profusely while her little movie about an American Army bomb defusing team in Iraq [...]

Oscar picks not as hard as usual — 10 movies or not
Making Oscar picks is hard. Kind of like how hard it’s going to be for Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to make a cohesive, thoughtful joke Sunday night.
First, you have to see all the movies. Then you have to formulate your own opinions on those movies. Then you watch all the other awards shows to see [...]

Final Nip/Tuck thoughts …
Oscar preview tomorrow!
Some lingering thoughts from the Nip/Tuck finale (all spoilers, stop RIGHT NOW if you haven’t seen it yet and proceed right to the screen shot of Jim and Pam):
--I liked it. There were only two ways the show could possibly end. Either Sean and Christian would hope the first flight to Vermont to [...]

Buy a T-shirt! And the hottest DWTS cast. Ever.
One quick plug before we roll into a super-sized edition of PopRox to try and make up for slacking lately:
Buy a T-shirt! Now! Seriously, we’re selling these T-shirts in conjunction with the Great Pocono Weight Race. They’re $15, and all the proceeds will go to the Diabetic Education Program at Pocono Medical Center. We’re trying to [...]

Leno-Conan fire still flaming
Stay off those roads if you can!
You’d probably feel bad for Conan O’Brien until you remember that he’s being paid a hefty sum to stay away from television. Good for him for figuring out how to get to his fans, and shame on NBC for not adding a social networking clause to the agreement it [...]

top 20 movies of the year
The Orange Street Oscars are like me — old.
It’s my group of movie-obsessed college friends who every year put together a combined list of the 20 best movies of the year. We’ve been doing it since 1997, when Boogie Nights took the top spot. So yeah, it’s been a while.
None of us are professional movie [...]

too early to start crowing avatar?
I’m in the process finally of making my top 20 movies for 2009. I’ll have it finalized in the next two days or so.
Today’s links:
The coronation ceremony for Avatar as Oscar’s best picture may have been a bit premature. It hasn’t added a major award since the Golden Globes in January, losing to Inglourious Basterds [...]

selling toys more important than selling movies
Things to thing of so you don’t have to think of a press conference the press isn’t invited to …
We all thought it. We all figured this was how Hollywood worked. Now, we know for sure Hollywood doesn’t care about its movies, only its merchandising. Disney is putting anything that can’t sell a toy on [...]
