  2010: Third anniversary 2009: 2nd time's a charm 2008: First anniversary 2007: Here we go!

As a big fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm TV show, I am very excited about Season 8. This time Larry David takes on New York City and I can’t wait to watch the new episodes. But if you want to know more about the upcoming season that will premiere this year on HBO, you might be disappointed… The only place to go is on the CYE page on HBO website. In 2007, I posted about the TV show: Curb Your Enthusiasm: Pretty, pretty, pretty good!. I wrote: ‘The tagline for Curb Your Enthusiasm is: ‘Deep inside you know you’re him’, and let’s face it, we all carry part of Larry David with us’. Let’s hope Season 8 will be as good as the previous ones although the waiting seems endless! Below, Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 8 “New York”  -Godzilla like- Teaser:

I really enjoy watching TV shows. Unfortunately, Ugly Betty, 24, Lost and Heroes are no more. Not to mention Bryan Fuller’s whimsical Pushing Daisies! So what is left to watch this Summer? Luckily, several of my favorite shows. Burn Notice is on my top list, I already wrote about the show: Burn Notice Vs Leverage? I’d better get burned!. If I don’t like Leverage that much, Dark Blue is definitely among my favorite shows. But my two favorites are True Blood and Mad Men. Totally different stories and times but each one knows how to entertain. Where do Sookie super powers come from? Will Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce find prosperity eventually? There is also the new season of Entourage; I couldn’t not mention Vincent, his flick, Ari… I am eager to watch Dexter‘s new season (Dexter and The Shield: bad is good) as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm: Pretty, pretty,…⇒ READ MORE

The Seinfeld Reunion. Any big fan of the classic sitcom had dreamt about it since Seinfeld ended. It was 11 years ago. And I have to admit I was and still is a huge fan of Seinfeld. The best sitcom ever (and I watch many TV shows: Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, House M.D… Addicted!, The Big Bang Theory: Am I really that kind of Nerd?, Dexter and The Shield: bad is good). Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld managed to give us a big laugh on every single episode, even if I think the sitcom started to be really funny on saison 3. Since then, I watched every episode. I miss so much Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer… And Newman, and Monk’s Cafe (well, Tom’s Restaurant)! So I was very exited when I read a few months ago the Seinfeld cast would appear in five episodes of HBO…⇒ READ MORE

More than a year ago, in April 2007 (time flies!), I wrote a post about Dexter and The Shield and the fact that bad characters behavior can make good (even great) shows. Action-drama, science fiction, comedy-drama (dramedy), medical-drama, situation comedy, police-drama; television series cover many topics with as many different approaches. I am always surprised by the variety of the content, and the fact that a TV show can attract an audience that rarely watches television. Everybody can find something interesting in a television series and get almost addicted to it; you are watching it every week or so and you would not miss season finale for nothing in the world. You are hooked. TV shows, and I am mostly talking about American TV shows here, are great entertainment. Not all of them, but at least the ones I appreciate the most, of course (am I being subjective? Definitely!). Pushing…⇒ READ MORE

Jacques Tati was born in October 1907, and 2007 is the 100th anniversary of his birth. We are now in December, and it is not too late (yet) to celebrate this anniversary and mention some of his movies. A few days ago, I had the opportunity to meet with Tati’s niece, Macha Makeieff. She manages Tati’s artistic patrimony and she created Les Films de Mon Oncle, a company aimed to restore Tati’s movies and spread his work around the world. She held a conference about the design in the work of Tati and the place was almost full but not crowded, with elders who probably first saw Tati’s movies on screen when they came out in the 1950s-1960s, and youngsters who mostly discovered them more recently on DVD. His work is definitely appreciated by young and old alike, the movies Tati made still fascinate today and I’m among his biggest…⇒ READ MORE
