Like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip it's a show about making a show not too disimilar to Saturday Night Live (an institution in the US, but never* seen here).… ]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:01:55 +1200 Jackie Clark https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-running-with-scissors/?p=22675#post22675 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-running-with-scissors/?p=22675#post22675 Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:07:42 +1200 InternationalObserver https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-running-with-scissors/?p=22635#post22635 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/radiation-running-with-scissors/?p=22635#post22635 Actress/wife/mother Jamie Leigh Curtis gives mad props to our state sponsored airline for her flight to London for LE.

er ... sounds like it's the DomPost not TVNZ who should be embarrassed.

Yes. Their TV highlights stuff usually reads like a cut and paste job, just not *quite* this obviously.

We're getting special features on TV now, cool!

Wow. That's really very embarrassing.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Rialto) gets a – goodness – 10 from Philip

Yeah it's good (just got the DVD).

And speaking of Philip, and DVDs, what about this fantastic movie pick for the week in the DomPost:

Al Gore was a bit of a stage hog. A shame his son let him down, but I can't help thinking he was thinking he could use this event to 'reluctantly' be dragged back into the '08 presidential campaign.

He seems to be good at this sort of thing, better…

Obviously the camera crew had been waiting all day for them because we saw camera angles they weren't daring to use on other female performers.

Don't you mean the camera angles they were contractually forbidden to use on anyone? Why don't the PCDs just webcast their next visits to the…

1. the performances were great but as a TV event it won't (shouldn't) win any prizes. There was no cohesion and omigod the finish! It just ended without warning by rolling the credits! Madness. Oh, and there were waaay too many PSA's. It…

They're breaking no new ground programme-wise, but there are lots of old favourites.

'These ones go up to eleven.'

Nice one.
