What’s that one-spirit, one-family stuff he’s talking? As long as the people who engineered this financial disaster — the CEOs of banks and brokerages and auto companies and airlines and big-box superstores and all the others — not only go unpunished and but actually retain the rewards of their incompetence and malfeasance, this is just … more…
BUMPED UP: still got 13 8 copies left. makes a nice stocking stuffer… So, I’m back from my quick excursion up to the Boston area for a showing of The Princess Bride. Ten hours alone in a rental car over the course of 24 hours ain’t exactly the most fun way to spend a day … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Mad Men meets Titanic! It’s what would have happened to Jack and Rose if they’d gotten off that ship together in New York! Leo turns into the man in the gray flannel suit! Kate turns into a suburban mom running for the shelter of her … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.

The only bell *Wagon Train* rings for me is its role in the story of how Gene Roddenberry first pitched *Star Trek* to NBC — he now famously said that it would be “*Wagon Train* to the stars.” Which I never quite understood.
I’m busy chopping veggies and making stuffing right now, so no Pushing Daisies blogging today. I’ll write about last night’s episode late tonight or early tomorrow. For all my readers in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving! Everyone else: Happy Thursday!
Take a break from work (or turkey): watch a movie trailer… (Or, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer at Yahoo! Movies: bigger, crisper, clearer.) We should be actually seeing this movie this weekend — instead, we have to settle for a new trailer. I’m relieved to see are few light moments in this … more…
