CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.
Part of the Problem, Not the Solution
Yesterday at the comics store, I told the clerk, a nice guy to talk to, that I was really conflicted about buying the new Spider-Man and contributing another enabling sales number to Marvel. He asked, “Why?” I said, “I don’t know, but I can’t remember being this mad at a comic. It makes me feel like a kid. I should know better, but I don’t.” He kept asking, “Why?”
So I ended up buying the new issue of Amazing Spider-Man.
