Richard Pryor (1940-2005), Senator Eugene McCarthy (1916-2005). You know what that means- the deathwatch is on. Stay tuned for our third contestant...
But seriously, Pryor was a genius who blazed the trail trod by so many other giants of comedy and culture, and Gene McCarthy was a true Minnesota maverick and hero to many long hairs like myself, and both will be missed.
A Quick TiVo Report:
Something happened and the TiVo failed to record Thursday's OC. If you have it taped or saved contact me. This is my first TiVo miss, and it better not happen again. I am very upset.
Smallville looks like a movie, feels like a movie, and frankly it's starting to get mythic. This week's It's a Wonderful Life / Star Trek: TNG "Tapestry" ripoff Christmas episode focusing on Lex Luthor was brilliant. Michael Rosenbaum's performance was magnificent- you feel Luthor's Wonderful Life happiness and joy, which makes his turn to darkside in the cruel cruel real world all the more cold and jarring. The evolution (de-evolution) of Lex Luthor from Clark Kent pal into Superman's future evil mastermind arch nemesis is in high gear. The secondary story with Clark and Chloe saving Christmas in Metropolis (or the Toys for Tots campaign as it were) was swell too. Unfortunately I suspect that John Schneider will be pulling a Glenn Ford as I hereby predict that Pa Kent will indeed be the significant death planned for February's 100th episode of Smallville...
