mad, but true...

Last night's ugly opening moment on MAD MEN was inspired by actual ugly moment in American History. This is from the NY Times, May 1966...

Every year, about this time, Emmy voters are flooded with what I can only describe as a plethora of FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION screeners in every shape and size.

Every year, about this time, my turntable becomes the base for what I can only describe as Mount Considermore...



I've attempted to make my way to the peak of this mountain in the past few weeks, climbing on high above the curiously submitted celebrity reality makeover haunting shows and the three-part History Channel special on auction treasure seekers of the American Revolution.

I will say that HBO has had a stellar year, with a some fantastic work in just about every category. And the big surprise is the simple, elegant full-season submission for the final season of Friday Night Lights.

Still awaiting my Pretty Little Liars Emmy submission.

Better hurry up there Warner Bros.
You've got a lot of campaigning to do.

This is the best idea for a reality show since Steven Seagal Lawman, and will you look at that? It's on the same network. Loves me some A&E...

This being 2010, the year we make contact, I've taken a major leap into the 21st century and upgraded from a 1988 hand-me-down tube television to a High Def Panasonic flatscreen and a Blu-ray player!

You would think this film geek would have been on the Blu-ray bandwagon the second the first player came off the line, but the high cost was just waaaaay to much to self-justify. I can tell you after doing a lot of research that not only have the costs of players and monitors greatly decreased, but the selection and quality of product out there's pretty amazing.

The wishful thinker in me has always been an early adopter. Back in the 80s, I purchased CDs way in advance of owning a player. In the 90s, I owned a handful of Laserdiscs before landing a discontinued player at the tail end of that trend. So, it's no surprise to you when I say I had a couple Blu-ray discs purchased before caving into the player buy.

Haven't had a chance to watch them all, but I've started off the Blu-ray collection with what I consider to be some essentials...

Gremlins
Hellraiser
Pinocchio
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Poltergeist
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration
Heathers


I'll be reporting back after my next chance to veg out in front of the new set-up!

sold on the shock...

Make no mistake, Mad Men is one of the best shows on television since The Sopranos advised us not to stop believing.

Even if you've never seen one single episode of the show, I advise you to download the free short compilation from AMC called "The 10 Most Shocking Moments from MAD MEN," in anticipation of the August 16th Season Three launch.
