If a horrible sketch show that nobody ever really liked is cancelled after 14 seasons, did it really ever air in the first place? I sometimes read the magazine back in the day. Yes, I was "one of those kids."
Tonight, I use my "connections" for an advanced screening of the new Bond movie. It's too bad I don't care too much about the series, because I'm sure it would be that much more exciting. Still, it's cool that I get to watch a movie with, ahem, industry folks, on the Sony lot. Last week, I had the opportunity to see Danny Boyle's new movie, Slumdog Millionaire. Parts of it were a tad saccharine for my critical taste buds, but overall it was tasty. The visual style kept me interested, and the playful soundtrack is fun. Also, I found the use of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire to structure the story to be funny and clever.

I read a review of Slumdog this week that was extremely favorable. I'm hopinng it will run here in Orlando, perhaps at The Enzian. The review I read made the movie sound like a thriller, but perhaps they meant suspense. Anyway, I will be looking for it.
