Jeremy Blachman's Brand New Weblog

I had a weblog before. This is my new one. I went to law school. But now I've written a novel. It's based on this other blog I've been writing (click here). This blog is to talk about that process, and whatever else I feel like writing about. I'll try to make it worth your while. I'm sometimes funny. Sometimes. Thanks for stopping by.

Book Covers

Posted on February 26, 2008
There's a great blog I linked to once before that posts about interesting book covers. Today's post compares the US and UK covers for a book called "The Bush Tragedy." The difference in tone is pretty astounding. Personally, I like...

Free Will, and other odds and ends

Posted on February 25, 2008
SNL's digital short on Saturday, about old people and the movies (my favorite topic!) was very funny. You can watch it here. Also, fun fact, my first couple of weeks in LA, the sublet I had was in the apartment...

My Grandma Reviews: "Vantage Point"

Posted on February 23, 2008
"Don't ask me what the name of this movie was. It just came into the theater two days ago. About someone trying to assassinate the President, I don't know, I think I fell asleep. I don't know why we saw...

My Grandma Reviews: "Definitely, Maybe"

Posted on February 16, 2008
"You know, while I was watching it, I liked it. The romance, the story, it held my attention, I was into it. It was only after I left the theater and started to think about it that I realized it...

Definitely, Maybe... Probably Not, Don't Bother

Posted on February 15, 2008
I thought it was kinda dull. Nice premise, but it didn't do too much with the execution. My grandma is supposed to see it tomorrow, so we'll see what she thinks.

My Grandma Reviews: "Fool's Gold"

Posted on February 10, 2008
"Okay, I know I've said this before, but this really is the worst movie I've seen in a long, long time. Truly, truly dumb. No feeling at all. You watch this movie, and you're left feeling nothing. I couldn't wait...

Micturition Syncope

Posted on February 08, 2008
No, don't Google it yet, you'll ruin my boring story. So the reason for no posts this week is that I came down with an upper respiratory infection the other day, which now seems to be getting better, and I...

Happy Birthday To Me / Is The Strike Over?

Posted on February 04, 2008
It appears that the writers strike might be ending on my birthday, which would be kind of cool. Strike rumors completely went insane over the weekend, articles saying there's a handshake deal, it's going to be over any minute, Fox...

My Grandma Reviews: "The Bucket List"

Posted on February 03, 2008
"You liked this movie?" "No." "So why did you tell me to see it?" "Because at least I thought it would be easy to follow, and you'd know what was going on." "Oh, I did! But it wasn't any good!...

My Grandma Reviews: SATURDAY MOVIE PREVIEW

Posted on February 02, 2008
Sorry for the lack of movie reviews recently: one of my grandma's friends hasn't been feeling well, so they haven't gone to the movies for a few weeks. I just spoke to her, and they're supposed to go this afternoon....

Eli Stone

Posted on February 01, 2008
The new ABC drama Eli Stone premiered last night -- it's on ABC.com if you're curious and missed it. It's about a big-firm lawyer who starts to see visions. I'd seen the original pilot and loved it -- just watched...

Brothers and Sisters

Posted on January 27, 2008
Anyone familiar with the show willing to read and comment on my spec script? Thanks (e-mail me).

Killing Your Evening

Posted on January 26, 2008
I just stumbled on the website for TED, a conference series that has cool people talking about stuff. Watched the video of Malcolm Gladwell's presentation from 2004 about consumer demand, and JJ Abrams's presentation from 2007 about magic and mystery...

Last night's Colbert Report

Posted on January 23, 2008
There's still some airings on today, so I wanted to post this quickly -- watch last night's Colbert Report episode, because it was terrific. He interviewed Andrew Young, a civil rights leader who negotiated a settlement for a hospital workers...

Democratic Debate on CNN

Posted on January 21, 2008
It's only about 20 minutes in, but this debate has some real fire! Clinton and Obama don't like each other very much! Hope it continues to not be boring.

Discover Your Inner Economist

Posted on January 21, 2008
Economist Tyler Cowen, who has a blog I haven't read nearly enough but just added to my Google Reader, has written the best of the post-Freakonomics pop-economics books. I still have 50 pages to go, but I felt inspired to...

Very Boring Democratic Debate

Posted on January 16, 2008
Much too civil. The candidates were all pleasant to each other, well prepared, and have basically no differences between them on any of the issues. The only funny line didn't even get noticed by anyone, and no one's reporting on...

Scripted Television Is A Dying Industry

Posted on January 15, 2008
Or maybe it's not. But the strike probably isn't helping, since a bazillion people are watching Gladiators, and it costs a heck of a lot less to produce Gladiators (even with the cost of the steroid testing) than it does...

Things I've Been Meaning To Post About

Posted on January 11, 2008
I'm ashamed to admit it, but Grey's Anatomy has become a don't-want-to-miss show for me this season. Tonight's final new pre-strike episode no exception. And a pretty awesome Lifehouse song in there too, called "Broken." Twice I've tried to write...

My Grandma Reviews: The Presidential Race

Posted on January 07, 2008
"I just saw Hillary Clinton on the television, she had tears and she was getting very emotional, how much this means to her, how much has to be done in the world. I think she's getting desperate and now she's...

Cashmere Mafia

Posted on January 07, 2008
I'm remiss in not posting this sooner, but I wanted to encourage whoever's reading to check out the new ABC show Cashmere Mafia (premiered tonight at 10 -- so, in an hour on the West Coast, but two hours ago...

Benazir Bhutto

Posted on January 06, 2008
Apparently she's on the cover of this week's Parade magazine supplement. Except they went to press before she was assassinated and the magazine makes no reference to it. Oops. Read more here. It's pretty insane. Like, someone should be fired...

My Grandma Reviews: P.S. I Love You

Posted on January 05, 2008
"If that's imagination -- if I were a producer I would have turned that down so fast. He died, but it's like he's still alive, they're acting like he's still with them. It's idiotic. The Great Debaters, that was very...
