Big Fan of Colbert

The Colbert Report                               

(pronounced: col-Bear re-pour)
Disclaimer: I'm no phonics expert.

I adore Stephen Colbert, let me start of by saying: "Stephen your a genius".  He is probably one of the few people I can think of that might make me go wordless if I ever meet him.

The Colbert Report has been around since 2005.  Before "my papa bear"-Colbert had his own show he was a correspondent on The Daily Show with John Stewart.  IMDB claims that Craig Ferguson was the host of The Daily Show then but I don't remember that, maybe it's just me.  He was the longest running correspondent on The Daily Show.

The Colbert Report has been going strong for eight years.  It can be found weeknights on Comedy Central.  Check your local listings.

My favorite recent clip:

Gone with the Wind Part 2

Gone with the Wind: Part Two                                 
You need not have read my first post on Gone 
with the Wind to know what's going on in this post.

Scene: Tara 
Gone with the Wind, the movie, opens at Tara.  Tara is the name of the plantation where the heroine/protagonist of the story was born an raised.  She, Scarlett O'Hara, is sitting on the porch discussing an upcoming barbeque with two of her "beaus" Brent and Stuart Tarleton, they are twins, and both seemingly enamored with Scarlett.

The conversation is about who she will dance with and who has a wedding coming up, surprise, it is her crush Ashley Wilkes.  Devastating for a sixteen-year-old girl.

Gone with the Wind is a must see.

I think I need a rating system. So on a scale of 1-10: Gone with the Wind is a 10 --10 bunnies.

Gone With the Wind Part 1

Gone with the Wind.
I adore both the movie and the book.

This will be a blog post in several parts.

Part 1 - The Basics

Gone with the Wind is a period piece set in the United States/Confederacy (the State of Georgia) during the Civil War era.  Around 1860 and several years following.

It is both a movie and a book.  The book was written by Margret Mitchell and later a film adaptation was produced by David O. Selznick.  The book was first published in 1936. The movie came out in 1939.  There are several differences between the book and the movie, but I will cover that later.

The central character in both the movie and the book is Scarlett O'Hara.  She is strong willed, stubborn, charming, and beautiful.  In the movie she is played by Vivien Leigh (also from A Streetcar Named Desire).  The book describes her as having "sharp features", which some people might not consider beautiful, but I always picture her as beautiful and more importantly the character herself seems to think so.

So that's Gone with the Wind 101: Come back, Gone with the Wind is one of my personal favorites so the other post parts should be good.

The End of 30 Rock

When a show wraps up, especially a show you really like, it can feel a little sad.

I will miss you 30 Rock!

The show started in November 2006 on NBC.  It was created by Tina Fey.  The finale aired recently, not disappointing, a tidy wrap-up, but still a little sigh inducing.
