I loved him too, DN. But Kojak was more stylish in those three piece suits ![wink wink](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/wink.gif) . Kojak drove a '74 Buick Century. Colombo drove a Peugeot 403. Neither one of those cars was a chick magnet ![lol lol](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/lol.gif) .

Anyone watch and new shows this season? I'm more or less sticking with my old favorites. However, I have watched the first few episodes of a show called "Arrow", about a rich man who was stranded on a secluded island and thought dead for 5 years. He returns as somewhat of a superhero. Not bad so far. TIS I enjoy ARROW (Why the title? It's the Green Arrow superhero from DC Comics.) It is a very solid program so far, I admire that in serial fashion they repeatedly introduce new elements that you take for granted, only for those elements to unload onto new characters and storylines and details which is quickly threatening to give ARROW a fully fleshed out universe before the 1st season is even out. (Consider the hero's stereotypical ex-girlfriend, who out of the blue showed off her mastery of Judo.) In tone it's pretty much Green Arrow meets BATMAN BEGINS. Why not? Its working so far. (Though I think he's less Batman and more psychotic violent vigilante like the Punisher, but I don't mind that. I enjoyed last week's episode when he made that pension-robbing white collar crook give back the money or else eat a metal fan.) Plus I'm sure the weekly shirt off, grauitous beefcake training montages will please many audience demographics. Right TIS?

Whew!! ![wink wink](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/wink.gif) I had NO idea it was based on a comic book hero but it is entertaining so far. Sort of like Superman without the glasses and Zorro without the mask, it seems odd that people don't recognize him considering he only wears a hoodie. TIS

I don't get Showtime but Homeland does look good from the little previews I've seen. What is the premise of the show? Homeland Security I presume? TIS It's about a marine who's been POW for eight years in Iraq and finally comes back home. A CIA agent who is not mentally stable suspects that he has turned into a terrorist. It's an interesting tango between the pair. Both leads won an Emmy for their roles if you remember.

Make movies people want to see. How about that??? Hollywood Decline LOS ANGELES — On Feb. 24 Hollywood will turn out for the Oscars.
But it’s starting to feel as if it might be “The Last Picture Show.” Next year’s Academy Awards ceremony — the 85th since 1929 — will be landing in a pool of angst about movies and what appears to be their fraying connection to the pop culture. After the shock of last year's decline in the number of tickets sold for movies domestically, to 1.28 billion, the lowest since 1995 (and attendance is only a little better this year) film business insiders have been quietly scrambling to fix what few will publicly acknowledge to be broken.
That is, Hollywood’s grip on the popular imagination, particularly when it comes to the more sophisticated films around which the awards season turns. Several industry groups, including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Oscars, and the nonprofit American Film Institute, which supports cinema, are privately brainstorming about starting public campaigns to convince people that movies still matter.
That seemed self-evident only a few years ago. But the mood has turned wistful as people in the industry watch the momentum shift toward television.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
