HBO's new comedy series, is right up my alley. Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.
Let's see, a dry sardonic comedy with it's humor lying in inanities followed by long puzzled pauses followed by the duo randomly breaking into a song, with hottie Bret McKenzie...I'd have to say "Yay." Anyone seen it yet? Lemme know whatcha think. If you haven't seen it and you have some time, go on, give it a whirl.

it's... an arresting development.

"Clark and Michael are two very different boys with two very different digestive systems. Clark loves frames, while I love parasurfing. Clark has hobbies, while I am a Gemini. Clark has a MicroKorg, while I love people of all races. Clark dances, I cry (however, the two never happen concurrently.)"

watch the first 6 (of 10?) episodes of clark and michael right now.

I totally forgot to post about this before it started airing. Court TV has a new show called til Death Do Us Part with J.W. as host. Each week he introduces a newly wed couple who apparently don't live happily ever after.

(and acclaimed doc director rory kennedy)

Ghosts of Abu Ghraib
Premieres on HBO. Thursday, February 22 at 9:30pm.

The familiar and disturbing pictures of torture at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison raise many troubling questions: How did torture become an accepted practice at Abu Ghraib? Did U.S. government policies make it possible? How much damage has the aftermath of Abu Ghraib had on America's credibility as a defender of freedom and human rights around the world? Acclaimed filmmaker Rory Kennedy looks beyond the headlines to investigate the psychological and political context in which torture occurred.

read this compelling review from sundance.


"get ready for the feel good movie of the year"
- me

it's just like "animal house on the night shift"
- several army higher-ups (referring to the abu ghraib photos)

if you don't have HBO, don't worry.
"i’m sure most sports bars will be playing it..."
