Happy Thanksgiving
I know a little about bad times at the holidays. I also know about good times. I hope that, whatever pain or despair or challenges you may be facing today, you find that little something to be thankful for, and the hope and resilience to keep going.

"Dancing With the Stars" Results
Snarg. Notes and spoilers after the jump. … After the judges went completely in the bag for Donny Osmond during the final dance tonight, I told the bride that he was going to win. And so he did, to my regret. He was not the best dancer of the season, or even of the last two ...

"Precious"
Notes about the film, which has arrived on area screens, after the jump. I had certain expectations about "Precious" before I saw it Thursday night. I expected it to be good, and I was right. I expected it to be graphic and painful to watch, and was only partly right.  ...

Friday Notebook

Re Oprah
I keep looking at Oprah Winfrey's announcement that she is ending her syndicated talk show in 2011 and having two thoughts. First, that 2011 is still more than a year away, and her mind may change. Second, that even if she leaves daytime broadcast TV, I don't see her giving up a ...

TCM is making a big to-do over its airings and the DVD release of "Remember the Night," a Fred MacMurray-Barbara Stanwyck holiday film that has apparently been overlooked. From the network: It’s going to be a very special holiday for movie fans this year as Turner Classic Movies ...

"Friday Night Lights"
So I was watching the latest episode of "Friday Night Lights" on my little laptop, via the press feed from DirecTV, with less than perfect video and a big DirecTV logo on the screen much of the time. And I was so drawn into it and touched by it that I said I small thank-you to ...
