The Show Was Dumb No Doubt About It
I feel like staying far away from Civil War II this week. How far away? I’m not even writing about comic books. That far.
Doubt was another attempt to do a Shonda Rhimes style show without Shonda Rhimes. CBS tried to hedge its bets by having former Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl headline Doubt. Did that help? Even less than her presence helped in her last show, State of Affairs. State of Affairs lasted 13 episodes. CBS pulled Doubt after only two episodes. Which is one more episode than I was able to last. Doubt was such a huge turkey it could have fed the Eight is Enough brood and still have had enough to give the Brady Bunch leftovers. But I digest.

Enough evidence exists for a New Jersey resident’s official misconduct complaint to go forward against Gov. Chris Christie for his alleged failure to stop politically motivated lane closures in 2013, a judge ruled Thursday, according to documents obtained by People.
William Brennan alleges in the complaint that Christie “knowingly refrained” from ordering his subordinates to reopen the traffic lanes to the George Washington Bridge during the incident.
The four days of lane closures caused significant traffic delays and led to a 16-month federal investigation.
Two of Christie’s former top aides are now on trial for allegedly creating the plot...

As it did for feature film scribes in December, the Wgaw today announced the 15 winners of its 2014 Writer Access Project honoring diversity in TV writing. The program first launched in 2009 aiming to help diversify TV writers rooms by highlighting writers with TV staffing experience and bring their scripts to the attention of industry figures. Eligible writers had to submit themselves in one of five categories: minority writers, writers with disabilities, women writers, 55-and-over writers, and gay and lesbian writers. “The intention of the Writer Access Project is very simple. It draws the best, experienced writers who, for whatever reason, have not been able to get their material in front of showrunners and lets their work speak for itself. The focus is put on the one thing that truly matters when hiring a writer: the words he or she puts on the page,” said 2014 Wap Drama judge Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead...

The Shakespeare authorship question is a debate that started over one hundred years ago surrounding the identity of the works traditionally attributed to the bearded Bard from Stratford-Upon-Avon, William Shakespeare. Was he really the genius behind Hamlet.s tragic life, Romeo.s burning love, and Lady Macbeth.s plaguing guilt? Could the intellectual behind literature.s most brilliant characters be this very ordinary man from Stratford?
So little is known about the man from Stratford that many find it impossible to believe that the son of an illiterate tradesman was the author of such literary masterpieces as .The Merchant of Venice,. .King Lear,. and .Henry V.. His education from a village school could never have provided Shakespeare with a vocabulary extensive enough to write the most talked about literature in the world and there is no proof that he travelled to foreign lands let alone learnt to speak their native tongues.

As the Supreme Court goes back to work this week it once again will determine just how far the First Amendment stretches. But rather than the usual "prayer in school" or "mandatory pledge of allegiance" cases that generally clog the docket, the high court is weighing how far journalists and documentary filmmakers can go when depicting animal cruelty, and what ramifications that has for other graphic visuals, like violence, pornography, or, say, negligence at slaughterhouses. Cast that in the age of endless Web video, pocket digicams, and citizen journalists who instantly post videos to the Web, and the case quickly becomes personal.
The arguments stem from the arrest, conviction, and subsequent appeal by filmmaker Robert Stevens, who received a 37-month prison sentence for including footage of a Japanese dog fight in one of his films. (That's 18 months more than Michael Vick served for actually running a dog-fighting operation on U.
