Nice Girls Talk

You know those ads for movies and TV shows that show quotes from critics? A couple of years ago I noticed that some of the, shall we say, less than critically acclaimed films coming out were using quotes from places like IMDb and blogs that aren’t known for hard-hitting critiques. Why bother using quotes at all if you have to …

This is the post you should have had last week, if not for my scrambled brain (the summer does horrible things to me.) Over a week and a half ago, one of my first Forum friends was in Los Angeles. One day, along with a surrogate Nice Girl J, we had lunch and started planning a trip down to San …

Whether you only listen to music on occasion, have it playing in the car on long trips or, like me, can’t really get through the day without it playing (nearly) all the time, there are certain songs that mean something to you, remind you of a special time in your life or move you to not only dance your socks …

There comes a time in every Nice Girl’s life when she has to figure out her priorities and make some tough decisions. That happened for us this weekend when we decided to put our radio show on hiatus indefinitely. While we enjoy the opportunity to get together and talk TV for an hour each week, the amount of work that …

Yet again, it’s Wednesday night/Thursday morning, and I haven’t posted my column this week. I had every intention of posting about a trip I went on last weekend, and I’ll still save it for next week. But, life (the kind that makes for excellent fodder for a sitcom of my life) happened. This episode would be all about how I …

On Wednesday, June 24, NiceGirlsTV.com was invited to a private press screening of FOX’s 2-hour movie Virtuality at the Hitchcock Theatre on the Universal Studios lot in Studio City.

No, really. Nia Vardalos asked what we were up to on Twitter, and I Tweeted that I was having a hard time coming up with a topic for my column, so she gave me an idea.  I’m not really going to write about gophers feeling fat, but the issue of body image on TV is one that provokes a lot …

It’s a sad day in the world when we start rating a celebrity’s death. Who will benefit from this information? What is the purpose? Is this information meant to stir up the masses for a war on who will be missed the most? Do we really have nothing better to report on? The truth is, we mourn the loss of …

Early this year, one of my friends told me I needed to watch Firefly, Joss Whedon’s short-lived space cowboy odyssey. After many a delay, I sat down the other week to watch the series before attending a charity screening of Serenity, the movie after the series ended. Like many of the shows I watch on DVD, I do so fairly …

After an uncharacteristically late start (for their standards), the Paley Center for Media’s special presentation of “The Creative Process: Inside House” began with a brief introduction by Craig Hitchcock, who joked that he knew what kind of day it was going to be when he arrived at the center at 8 AM that morning (June 17) to find four (4) …
