Favorite Seinfeld Episodes
Today is Jerry Seinfeld’s birthday. Among other things (umm, Bee Movie), he is known for starring in THE GREATEST SITCOM EVER MADE.

Ranking Tarantino
Last month, while attending a screening of a new 35mm print of Big Trouble in Little China (such an excellent movie) at Alamo Drafthouse (The Greatest Movie Theater Ever), my friends and I got on the topic of ranking Quentin Tarantino’s movies.
The same group of guys had all seen Inglourious Basterds together in the theater, and we were trying to decide where it fit in the Tarantino Hierarchy of Awesomeness.

But since QT turned 48 earlier this week, now seemed like a good time to dig deep and make it happen. Epic poems shall one day be written about this feat! Read More

In honor of his 81st birthday, I’m going to make some recommendations on some of my favorite examples of his work. West Side Story is probably one of his better known and Gypsy probably has one of the best known songs, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.” Read More

A Very Happy Birthday for Kelsey Grammer?
If you’ve been reading the tabloids lately, or watching the news, or listening to Howard Stern, you’d know that Camille and Kelsey Grammer have just gone though a rather bitter divorce. Camille’s using the spotlight to reveal intimate details of her marriage. Kelsey’s using every opportunity to be pictured in the midst of handsy PDA sessions with his 29-year-old fiancée Kayte Walsh.
