Every so often people ask me what I miss about L.A. Clearly I’ve been more than bereft when I fail to mention all those times in the Melnitz (Bridges) projection booth Jim and I would start discussing a film. I’m doubtful any of the tête-à-têtes were ever this spirited, but no matter – they were no less fun or engaging.

If Hollywood could somehow muster the courage to produce screenplays with merely half this much enthusiasm and honesty, they’d be well on the way to bringing back films worthy of our time, rather than that sinking feeling while walking out to the lobby and thinking to ourselves ‘well there’s 90, 120 (more-?) minutes of my life I’ll never get back’.

Good show, Jim-!

Sorry – Kirk was ambulatory, or ambulatory enough. It was only the unfortunate remains of his stroke that moved his presentation into the “creepy zone”. I was referring to an entire segment.

Jim was clearly correct. What this show needed was – say it with me now: Telly Savalas & Issac Hayes. Then, the potential train wreck would have been in place. Evidently the ratings were “a bit off” which allowed all the usual excuses to fly. Such is life.

P.S. I have three (or is it four-?) Telly albums for your listening “pleasure”…

Well, there WAS Kirk Douglas. I mean, we all love him and everything, and he showed a lot of courage that evening. But, let’s face it…there was a bit of a creepy “on death’s door” tinge to the whole thing.

Of course, the show has had a crazy overblown vibe for years. And to think that we all complained about that! After this Sunday’s broadcast, I would have paid anything to get a little of the crazy overblown back. If ever a show needed garish production numbers, this was it.

I think Jim said it best: This wasn’t a train wreck. The train didn’t even get on the tracks.
