Falling off the wagon... Back with Films

LOL - only a couple of posts and I am already falling behind! But I am working hard not to fail you... so here I am - writing SOMETHING!

We had a great turn out for the free movie screening of "There Will Be Blood" - so many folks we had to turn a couple hundred away... Sorry about that - but we warned you - ya had to turn up early! We will do this again next month (I hope) - so remember this and get your passes and show up early!

Talking about film - I am a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (we give out the Critics Choice Award on VH1)... and this year I had to vote - pick my favorites - actor, actress, comedy, best film - all those categories... Made me actually have to sit and think about it - decide in order my favorites... Still not sure I got them absolutely right - but I'll share with you my top favorites...


Diving Bell & the Butterfly


La Vie En Rose


3:10 to Yuma


Sweeney Todd

(to name but a few...)

So - what were your favorite films this year?
Did you see my picks? What did you think of those??

Come - lets here from you folks!

A new start!

Hey Everyone!

New year, New Start!

Starting today - I am going to try and post everyday - maybe not the most in depth reports - but I will keep you up to date and filled in and maybe make you smile, or even on the rare occasion, touch your heart!

Last night was the Critics Choice Awards (which I vote in as a member for the Broadcast Film Critics Association), but you wouldn't know it 'cause Hillary cried!

Yep - biggest story of the night and she didn't even really shed a single tear!



So what did you think? were you moved, were you touched? Did you believe it, or was it just for show?

Comment and let me know what you think...

It's About Time! - My trip to Upstate NY (Pt 1)

Well well well - at long last I blog again!

LOL - I have neglected you all... But I'm back!

SO much - but ya really don't want to read about all of it - "The Last 24" was a hit and played to great reviews and audience reaction - it even re-aired at the end of October - and again - folks loved it - I am so proud - the whole team did a great job.

Then we ramped right up again and got things in place to launch the 5th season of InnerVIEWS, which started on Nov 1st, 2007 - we even got a great write up in the Houston Chronicle (check it out on ErnieOnTV.com - under the "Press" tab). But I wasn't even in Houston to see the launch... I was back in NY...

A few weeks back I found out my Mom was going to have to have surgery on November 2nd, so I made plans to head home to the city I was raised in - Binghamton, NY... I hadn't been there in years - so it was going to be an adventure...

So here are some photos I have been taking (I am blogging from Binghamton right now!):


(Here is the House I grew up in - it was hit hard during the flooding that swept the north east during 2006 - the house has been empty for over a year, so it is looking a little sad - a home gets a strange feeling when it thinks it has been abandoned)


(this was our back staircase where the water flowed in from - filling up the ground floor of the house with over 5 feet of water, mud and slug - in the process crumbling the stairs... these will have to be rebuilt - one of about two dozen projects still waiting to be completed before my Mom can move back into the house)


(Here is the family room since re-construction - it is strange to see it this way - the stairs used to be enclosed, the cabinets had doors and the room was surrounded by thick hard wood knotty pine siding - you just don't see siding like that anymore...)


(a look at our neighborhood from the front porch - still looks very much like when I was a kid - scary!)


(This is my favorite house in Binghamton - happens to be only about 3 blocks from our house. Called "The MacArthur Mansion" - my elementary school was also called MacArthur - coincidence? I don't think so - LOL. BTW: when I was in 8th grade, this house went on the market for the huge sum of $250,000 - how times have changed!)


{Thats all for now, Part 2 - coming soon}
