  1. 11 great shows from last week. Will #GoT topple #MadMen this Sunday? The Power Rankings! bit.ly/KiZqFa + season finales & blood!
  2. Hillbilly Beard Wars! AKA: "Hatfields & McCoys." Costner vs. Paxon. My Hollywood Reporter review. bit.ly/KsSCoG
  3. Hey, they made a miniseries out of the Hatfields & McCoys. Kevin Costner. Bill Paxton. Revenge! Beards! bit.ly/KsSCoG
  4. ICYMI: The Power Rankings! The Elite Eleven shows on television. bit.ly/KiZqFa My recurring Hollywood Reporter piece.
  5. @JBFlint @maskedscheduler And I'll take irritating as a compliment.
  6. @mattzollerseitz Matt, is there a director's cut of Gangs of New York? Didn't Scorsese have to cut like an hour?
  7. Interesting that a grammarian took applaud + s + ed + ing but nixed "applaudable" for, I would guess, "laudable." That's applaudable.
  8. Email book pitch: "Silence guides your inner journey." The hell it does. American Music Club and alcohol is more like it. #newagebs
  9. @nprmonkeysee Saddest song in the world hands down is "Mission Rock Resort." Although most Mark Eitzel songs will do. bit.ly/bSpnm5
  10. Alright, I have a date with some Petite Syrah and some possibly great television. Goodnight, Twitter.
  11. @djbtv Not yet. I just checked.
  12. If you haven't already, a must-read: gqm.ag/Kg2gek Also, I'll be interviewing Vince Gilligan at SF JCC in the fall.
  13. @javachik @thebestjasmine It's what I do best. Such a bad planner, but ever hopeful.
  14. @thebestjasmine @javachik Was just looking at my swag pile. It's getting up there...
  15. @javachik I so pity you for having the Housewives DVD. I can make amends on that.
  16. @GetAClueTV I think it would *have* to be the Homefront IPA b/c of the maple baseball bats! Details to follow. And drinking + TV lists!
  17. @thebestjasmine I'm planning it. Or, um, hiring someone to plan it.
  18. @Conley76 Heard that's a great park, too. Good friend is a Pirates die-hard.
  19. @GetAClueTV Sounds like a beer-drinking, TV-list-on-a-napkin meet up, w/arguments and toasting. No reality TV included!
