Tonight at 7pm PT/10pm ET

I'm watching the pre-show. George just ambled onscreen and back off. I'll just say that I briefly saw a smoking bong, so it's all good.

Another nice interview.

Good find, Dougie!

I try to get my work done.

GCJ's criticisms of today's tv are right on! Other than special channels (History, Nat Geo, ESPN, etc), that give you true entertainment as you choose to watch, the rest is pabulum. We are now approaching 5 yrs. w/o the effects of the boob~tube!

Dumb&Dumber...

Pabulum is a good word!

Of course, fjp, TV may have been perfected in the five years you have been without it... No, who am I kidding?

True, Frank - I have a very nice 42 inch plasma and I never really watch television (outside college football season, that is), mostly using it to play the blu-rays I get from Netflix or to watch one of my collection of around 700 discs. I have some quality stuff on DVD: the Bradbury series, of course, the entire TZ collection (and the '85 version), M*A*S*H, the Griffith Show, some Brit stuff, including the entire Emma Peel mega-set, the Prisoner, Python, loads of concerts, lots of Hitchcock, the Weissmuller Tarzans, some Bond, many of the Looney Tunes, the Ed Wood collection, the Chaplin films, Harold Lloyd, W. C. Fields, all the Tati films, and much-too-short-lived TV programmes like Twin Peaks, Boomtown, American Gothic, Kolchak, Police Squad!, and a few rarities. So, as you can see, I never even have to turn on regular television!

Right, DS! We are screen watchers of our own accord. It is just the commercial mush we have pulled the plug on. Enough was enough!

Old classic on-line streams of movies and episodes, NetFlix, dvds! Great old and new stuff. Watched True Grit (original) with John Wayne just recently, and we plan to see the new version - heard good things - as soon as time allows.

Your GCJ interview (above post) discusses "hemp products!" There is an article in the new Popular Mechanics about the innovative cars now being made of its fibers. Fuel, too! Way too much petro-products in our veins. I spoke with Mr. Johnson just briefly when in CA for Mr. B's bd. Quite a delightful spirit!

Perhaps the best film of the year.
