"The Wire" moves to suburbia
Anyone notice the mass appearances of “The Wire” actors to shows not only set in the suburbs but rooted deeply within the psyche of the place. Clearly, Michael moved to Beverly Hills. (Ed. Note: Beverly Hills is not a suburb but those kids don’t seem to spend a lot of time in Compton is all I’m saying) We’ve discussed how Randy is now on “Suburgatory.” ...

Gah! "Parenthood!" I hate you so much! Why do I...
My thoughts on “Parenthood” before watching yesterday’s episode: So, so many white people.  My thoughts on Parenthood after watching Tuesday’s episode: Fuck you. Fuck you and the way you portray working women. Christina gets a job and all over a sudden Max goes AWOL, as if this is the first time a new mother has taken her eyes off of her autistic son? Not to mention she...

Elwood is from South Jersey and won the 2007 Ugliest Dog Competition. He’s now starring in the above ad. Elwood doesn’t have bottom teeth on the left side of his face and has to be hand-fed, so that officially classifies him as a disabled animal. I want him.  From Elwood the Dog’s personal website:  Do you have to do anything special for him? Not really. Elwood does need to...

Weak 'Week' with Monroe →
For the Daily News, November 23, 2011 I’ve already ranted about this but now it’s legit because it’s in print. Fair warning: Later tonight, I’m probably going to write a rant about why I didn’t like “The Muppets” and why that depresses the shit out of me. They don’t call me Molly “Heart of Stone” Eichel for nothing. Nobody calls me...

Mission accomplished: She returns vet's WWII Bible →
From the Dail News, November 11, 2011. These are the kinds of stories that make me love being in features. Usually I write stories and I get a lot of “There are so many important things happening in the world, who cares about your stupid little arts story?!” But after an undeniably shitty news week (Joe Frazier, Penn State, etc.), it’s just nice to get to add this little story...

Fake Criterions: Get to Know a Judge: Molly Eichel →
I wrote out a profile for the Fake Criterions contest I’m judging. Little did FC head honcho RJ know, but I’ve clearly thought about what my ultimate Fake Criterion would be before.  fakecriterions: What would be your ultimate Fake Criterions release  and who would do the commentary?  A triple disc edition called “The Jeffrey Jones Collection: The ‘90s,” featuringMom and Dad Save...

From the Daily News, Nov. 1, 2011.  The week the gossip columnist is on vacation and I’m subbing is the week Kim Kardashian files for divorce. I’m part of the problem.
