The trailer for LOST BOHEMIA, which just received a wonderful review by A.O. Scott in the NY TIMES. I was lucky enough to be invited by director Josef Astor to view an early cut of the film and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you a fan of NYC culture, history or real estate porn, this movie is for you.
LOST BOHEMIA opens tonight at the IFC Center. Josef Astor will be doing a Q&A with Editta Sherman after the 7 pm shows Friday and Saturday nights.

Casting Stephen Lang as the commander of the settlement in TERRA NOVA is just a tad much too muchery, considering the log line for the series has to be “AVATAR plus JURASSIC PARK.”

Here’s what I was up to for the first 10 weeks we lived in LA. It’ll be on ABC this fall.
Congrats, Chrissy! Looks funny.
“It’s the Hendricks syndrome. All the big, corporate men saw Christina Hendricks play the bombshell secretary on MAD MEN and fell in love. It’s a hot fudge sundae for men: a time when women were not allowed to get uppity or make demands. If the woman got pregnant, she had to drive to a back-alley abortionist in New Jersey. If you got tired of women, they had to go away. Women today don’t go away.”
Nope, unnamed “top male TV producer.” No we don’t.
From Mareen Dowd’s NY Times article on the broadcast networks’ retro sexist fantasy 2011 programming.
According to Twitter, I am:

Which is 100% right.
Stray Thought Re: Last Night’s HIMYM
Most viewers are aware that HIMYM is great at calling back jokes from years past. Take for example last night’s “We should buy a bar” diversion or the previous week’s return of the Cockamouse. While these gags are delightful nods to the loyal audience member, the show is operating on a deeper level with its continuity. Not just writing in joke call backs but thematic call backs as well.
Lilly’s scheme to steal the Arcadian’s signature lion’s head may have seemed surprising to the gang but upon closer investigation it shouldn’t have been. It was merely a variation on Ted stealing the blue french horn for Robin. Whether Lilly was consciously inspired by the happenings of the series pilot or not the act of stealing the Arcadian’s signature adornment was a genius parallel drawn by the writers. Where the blue french horn stood for Ted’s love for Robin, taking the lion’s head was out of love for himself (read: his career aspirations) and Barney. Two major story developments this season.
And then the stinger that Barney kept the head and put it up in his bedroom is icing on the metaphorical cake.
Love it when people get all deep-thinky about this show, in part because it actually deserves it. HIMYM does something that many half-hour comedies fail to; it actually likes and respects its characters, and lets them like each other. Sure, those call-backs are insidery loyal viewer tidbits. They’re also just how longtime friend are with each other. They reinforce character relationships as well as the audience’s relationship with the show. Smart.
