*Paramount Network has a movie about Richard Pryor. Is there a new movie or book about Richard Pryor every 6 months?
*I'm gonna go ahead and take the L on this one: Uncle Drew was not the surprise box office smash I predicted it would be.
*Hey, this CBS All-Access will let me see a little football today.
(Sees local game is Baltimore vs. Buffalo)
Never mind.
(Sees local game is Baltimore vs. Buffalo)
Never mind.
*Sling TV is raising the cost of a base package 25%. I guess it really is committed to making cord cutters feel they are getting the same experience they got with cable.
*Bruce Willis has a new movie I've never heard of every month now. He's like the new Nicolas Cage.
*How many people think a Jared Leto Joker movie is a solid idea? Leto's performance couldn't stand out in "Suicide Squad," and that movie was so bad it would have been easy to look good by comparison. I think we're all safe in prejudging this one as a flop before it's even started.
*I'm tired of this narrative about how great the NBA is. Maybe on "basketball Twitter" it is, but I have the old-fashioned take that sports should also be judged on whether the actual games are fun to watch.
*So this new HBO show, Succession--it may well be amazing, but honestly, if it weren't HBO, would anyone give it a second look?
*I think it's irresponsible of fans to speculate Johnny Depp is sick based on a few recent photos.
It could just as easily be drugs and booze.

Words of Wisdom
" I’m not on Facebook, though. And I’ve never sent a tweet, but that’s a vanity thing: I don’t want anyone to say 'Steve Earle tweeted' anything. I don’t ever want to hear that sentence, ever.."

I join you in your enthusiasm in celebrating Shirley Booth Day. I only wish Sony's DVD execs would get off their collective spotty behinds and start releasing the rest of the show's seasons on disc.
Thus sayeth me.
Knowing Sony, we'll sooner get The Harry Ackerman Collection, consisting of Season 1 sets of Hazel, Gidget, and The Flying Nun--with new bonus material, natch.
