It's a pleasure to read that Claire is trying on "Pygmalion." It's a run of only three months that will give her (and audiences) a chance to get used to stage dynamics. She also, after "Stage Beauty," will likely acquit herself well with some kind of sharp accent ... though precisely imitating Eliza...

Claire spiffs up "Los Angeles" magazine

She's really grown up *sigh* ... Claire Danes glistens in a billowing gown and Himalayan heels, all showing her off beautifully, on the July cover of "Los Angeles" magazine. You can see it here ... http://tinyurl.com/36cjxz (795 x 1045, 185 KB) If you'd like the whole piece (cover, three photo pages...

[From the first article:] His heart never seemed to be in his periodic experiments with hand-holding and other good boyfriend rituals. Try looking, really looking, in "Self-Esteem" at how hard it was for him to get up the courage to take her hand, in front of his dismissive macho pals, and see if y...

I'd say two working actresses would know the score, and how it is played. Steve Joyner of OLS certainly didn't when he net.fumed about Claire Danes' supposed malevolence. I'm surprised at how part of me still hasn't truly forgiven him for that, after nearly a decade now. Danes' not wanting to return...

Almost no real "extras" exist

I seem to recall when MTV re-broadcast these episodes 10 years ago, they were offering "extras"... Only two types of "extras" exist to accompany broadcasts or cablecasts. (Apart from some outtakes that apparently ended up on the cable channel Trio's "Brilliant, But Canceled" series about prematurel...

It's still going on, folks

Check every seller's feedback comments before you consider buying! This is the first and most important rule of using eBay. More bootlegs of the "MSCL" DVD set are being sold than ever before. Some of those who are burned will show their outrage with negative feedback. Unfortunately, not everyone i...

I guess I never understood how the success of a piece in deceiving others can be characterized as "fun." Yet, as I said earlier, I have always loathed "practical jokes," so I guess I'm deficient in some supposed quality of being fully human ... right?

The "Freaks and Geeks" set actually exists for sale, though. This fantasy of yours does not. That's the difference. I'd contend that we can very easily visualize what a "proper" special-feature-laden set would look like. Any number of films and series serve to provide examples. A piece of imaginatio...

Bootleg DVDs continue brisk sales on eBay, in light of the legitimate five-disk boxed sets that are now going for a minimum of US$150. (In the eBay Shops and on Amazon.com, those more established sellers are routinely asking $200 to $250, and some are paying it.) I experimented with reporting four o...

My younger brother (we're close and now share an apartment) was intrigued enough, after hearing me babble about this TV triumph for ten years, to watch an episode with me on The N this past Summer. (I think it was "Guns and Gossip.") Then it served to shove other shows aside. to see more episodes du...

This is SO wrong. :cry: I'd have to agree. Sascha, please consider deleting this thread. It isn't funny any more. (I'd say it never was, but I've always detested practical jokes, especially around 1 April.) They're obviously not trying to prepare any second release at Buena Vista. And when the boxe...

Well, I knew that BMG's rights expired. What rights actually went to Buena Vista Home Entertainment, then? Was that a set of rights that Bedford Falls awarded anew to them -- or did they somehow "default" to Buena Vista, with its being in the Disney family, from ABC's (or ABC Productions') interests...

"Stage Beauty" review: Art wins over artifice

It's the best time I've had, witnessing Claire Danes's craft, since "Romeo + Juliet," at least ... possibly since "My So-Called Life." "Stage Beauty" does what any good period piece does, whether set 300 years ago or 300 years from now. It takes us back into that setting, finds evocative and well-tu...
