Dwight v. Dwight

Dexter’s Private Life

CLASSIC

If you don’t know, you better ask somebody:

Surfing in Soweto

Via Leo, a habit slightly more dangerous than my addiction to frozen yogurt.

Say it ain’t so

My childhood crush Lark Voorhies doesn’t seem to be doing too well. I hope she’s alright.

To recap

Kane is insane. Good thing he wasn’t wearing skates.

The Tigers look good, and they’re getting the BoSox coming off a devastating sweep at the hands of the Yanks. Hopefully we can put a fork in the Boston season and not revive it.

Last night’s were the best episodes of the season so far for both Hung and Entourage.

I laughed so much at the Comedy Central roast of Joan Rivers that my face hurt.

I did go outside for a few minutes this weekend, I promise.

When you were young

Jeremy Piven and Dr. Ken were on WWE? I haven’t watched wrestling since whenever the last time we ordered a pay-per-view event growing up was. And that time I went to a live event for Courtney’s job.

Backstage twitter footage.

My friend Kathleen’s weak praise:

Yes he was, he was the guest host. He and ‘Dr.Ken’, (that Asian guy who jumps out of the car trunk naked in the Hangover) were there. They did a surprisingly awesome job since most of the folks who have hosted have sucked.

The good life

New Dexter and new Curb Your Enthusiasm coming this September! I cannot wait. Actually, I can, because summer is way better than fall, and the presence of good TV doesn’t outweigh that, but I needed something to say.

Not a good sign

The best part about “Hung” is the opening sequence.

Middlesex visualized!

Via Justin via the AV Club, Middlesex (the Detroit-heavy novel that I just reread last week) is going to become an HBO series:

Though considered by many to be one of the best novels of the last half-century, Jeffrey Eugenides’ Middlesex was seen as too sprawling and difficult for a film adaptation. Now, HBO is prepping a more relaxed, one-hour drama series based on the book, which will presumably allow a more relaxed unfurling of Eugenides’ magnum opus, as well as the certainty of new scenes and characters extrapolated from the source. The adventures of Callie Stephanides, a hermaphrodite coming to terms with her family history and sexual identity in a Detroit suburb, should make for compelling viewing in the right hands. Those hands? American playwright and Yale literature professor Donald Margulies, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for his play Dinner With Friends. Rita Wilson will serve as Executive Producer.

The Michigan film industry subsidies couldn’t have hurt.
