Maybe I need to start calling this “The Early-Afternoon-On-The-West-Coast Call Sheet”. Anyone who runs any kind of blog will tell you that it takes more work to write something when there isn’t much to write about. The search for inspiration is an endless one.
Thus far, Sheen’s done both the “Tonight Show” and the “Today Show” and actually does come across as a guy who had some time to stare into the abyss. You never know, though. Sheen is an underrated actor, so it could all be a game to worm his way back into Hollywood’s good graces. No matter how talented you are, you can only be so much of a nightmare to deal with before you become unemployable.
On a human level, I hope everyone finds more peace in their life, but as a Charlie Sheen fan going back some twenty years, I’m eager to see what another phase in his career might bring. Hopefully more awesome B-movies like his epic ’90’s run and not “Major League IV.”

LAST NIGHT’S SCREENING
Edit Big Hollywood by day, paint my big-ass house by night, fall asleep about twenty-minutes into a “Rockford Files.”
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
But up here on my mountain the air is cooling, the leaves are just starting to change, and therefore all is right with the world.

CLASSIC PICK FOR SATURDAY, SEPT 17
8:00 PM Mildred Pierce (1945) — A woman turns herself into a business tycoon to win her selfish daughter a place in society. Dir: Michael Curtiz Cast: Joan Crawford , Jack Carson , Zachary Scott. BW-111 mins, TV-PG, CC.
When done right there is nothing like a melodrama and the film that finally won The Mighty Joan Crawford a well-deserved Academy Award is about as good as it gets.
I haven’t seen the HBO remake with Kate Winslet. I’m assuming there’s an “artistic” nude scene.
