I have to admit that as wacky as this story that TMZ posted is, it did really make me laugh.
Lost Boys - Not So Lost Anymore
I know, I know, I'm bad blogger and the few people who read this damn blog are going to stop if I don't start writing more frequently. It has been hard to be inspired because of the sad event listed in one of my last posts. Also, my most recent consulting gig has come to an end, so most of the time I am trying to write or find another gig. If only someone would pay me to write or my writing partner and I would find someone to rep us ** sigh**. Sorry, got distracted there for a minute, but anyway enough about me. I recently read this article about how Corey Haim & Corey Feldman are on the verge of a comeback. Was anyone really wishing they would come back?? I for one never really liked Corey Feldman, and it has been a very long time since I loved Corey Haim in Lucas. I'd much prefer this Corey had a comeback. Well, I suppose if they can have a second shot it proves that anything is possible, so that gives me hope for my writing career.

Why It Takes Forever To Get Anything Done In Hollywood
Even if you have never worked in the business, Nikki Finke's assessment of why hardly any work gets done in Hollywood is pretty hysterical.

I'm Back
I know it's been longer than normal between posts, but there are a few legit reasons why I haven't been writing. The main one is a Very Sad one that I can barely bring myself to type. My Aunt Judy who I was very close to and loved very much died last week after many years of battling cancer. She was a very dynamic person and was loved by many. She was a teacher, an arts educator, a wonderful mother and wife. I could go on, but none of what I write can really capture the essence of what she was all about. I wanted to write something about her and I decided that the thing that would make her smile the most and best represent her would be a recipe of sorts. I have included it below.

The Puffy Chair Part Deux
When I was blogging all the way back in 2005, I wrote about a bunch of indie flicks here. I just noticed the other day that one of the movies I blogged about in that posting, The Puffy Chair, has a cool trailer online and apparently was recently released. I can't find it in my area yet, but I hope to see it soon.
ELAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part Deux
I saw Rumor Has It earlier this year and I know lots of people didn't like it, but it really wasn't all that bad. As most people know, the movie takes a thread of the story of The Graduate to center the movie around. Did you hear though that the original author of the novel, Charles Webb, is working on a sequel to it? I would read that in a heartbeat. Perhaps a great movie can come out of that and Simon and Garfunkel can do a new song for it. My fingers are crossed. If you've never seen the original, shame on you! GO out and rent it right away. Mike Nichols is a genius and Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft will blow you away.

He's Not Clueless
I happen to be a big fan of Paul Rudd. He's an incredibly talented and versatile actor. He also isn't so hard on the eyes, but seriously, I like him because of how gifted and funny he can be. I recently read this interview with him that also reminded me what a great sense of humor he possesses.
