2007 MTV Movie Awards – Part 1

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 6, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

If you ever have occasion to go to an awards show put on by one of the many companies in Hollywood, including but not limited to the Oscars, the MTV Movie Awards, the Golden Globes, or Satan's Top Ten Celebrities of the Year Awards, here's a little advice I have to offer, based on my [...]

Two Vows

By jelewis8 ⋅ March 6, 2006 ⋅ 3 comments

Unfortunately, I broke two pacts this weekend. One was my intention not to watch the Oscars. The other was not to see any theatrical movies this year. The shame is minimal, as you might expect from breaking a pair of baseless, unprecedented vows. It’s not like I slept with a hooker or anything. And it’s [...]

Get Short Shrifted

By jelewis8 ⋅ October 19, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

I sat in the coffee shop this morning trying to figure out why this script I’ve been working on seems so familiar. It’s something I’ve been toiling at every so often for the past three months. It’s not my “top” script, meaning it’s merely a side project that I’ve been working on when I’m tired [...]

Should Marty be given the tough job of reading off a teleprompter? His eyebrows indicate that we’ll have six more weeks of winter. Film Preservation is a neat subject, one I wish I knew more about. A fantastic award to one of Hollywood’s (recently) unsung heroes. Roger Mayer is holding the statue like a cane [...]

Welcome to the Oscars

Well, we’re about four minutes from four hours of the hell that is Hollywood’s self-congratulatory awards ceremony. I love it! Lots of tuxedo-clads and fashion dresses that accent body parts. Hilary Swank is up now with Billy Bush, and I believe she’s going to tell about her upcoming starring role in the new Mr. Ed [...]

Hollywood Left Denied

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 1, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

A United Way Fund dinner was canceled after receiving critical letters from donors for choosing Susan Sarandon as keynote speaker. Sarandon, as most people know, is one of the more vocal of the Hollywood Left, and it was feared the Fund dinner would provide a political platform for Sarandon (something the Left certainly does NOT [...]
