Music Video of the Day: Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know by Britney Spears (2001, dir by Herb Ritts)


It’s Britney on the beach!  This video was controversial when it was first released.  It seems rather tame now.

This video was directed by photographer Herb Ritts and Britney’s boyfriend was played by French model Brice Durand.  Supposedly, neither Justin Timberlake nor Lynne Spears were happy with this video.  Lynne felt it was too explicit and Justin apparently had an issue with Britney kissing another guy, even though Britney was just acting, it was just for the music video, and it’s not as if Justin wasn’t messing around behind Britney’s back.

Enjoy!

Scenes That I Love: William Shatner Interprets Rocket Man


Today, we wish a happy 96th birthday to the one and only William Shatner!

In this scene that I love, William Shatner performs Rocket Man at the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards (better known as the Saturn Awards).  This video has become a bit of tradition around here.  Only Shatner could make this work so brilliantly.

4 Shots From 4 Films: Special William Shatner Edition


4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Today is William Shatner’s birthday, which means that it is time for….

4 Shots From 4 William Shatner Films

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961, dir by Stanley Kramer, DP: Ernest Laszlo)

Incubus (1966, dir by Leslie Stevens, DP: Conrad Hall)

Big Bad Mama (1974, dir by Steve Carver, DP: Bruce Logan)

The Devil’s Rain (1975, dir by Robert Fuest, DP: Alex Phillips Jr.)

Music Video of the Day: Mission Impossible, performed by Tomoyasu Hotei (2016, dir by ????)

Enjoy!

Lisa Marie’s Week In Television: 3/15/26 — 3/21/26


The 98th Annual Academy Awards (Sunday Night, Hulu)

I wrote about the Oscars here.

The Bachelorette: Before The Final Rose (Sunday Night, ABC)

It will never not be amusing that ABC decided to show the “first” episode of Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette after the Oscars and then they ended up canceling the season five days later.  What a waste of prime real estate!  I really haven’t cared much about The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise in recent years.  Bring back Chris Harrison, you cowards!

Radio 1990 (NightFlight+)

I watched an episode of this old 80s music video show on Friday night.  Cyndi Lauper said that girls just want to have fun.  And then the host said that Virgin was going to start their own luxury airline and tickets would cost $144 each!

 

Scenes That I Love: George Smiley Confronts Bill Haydon In Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy


Today is Gary Oldman’s 68th birthday and, in honor of the occasion, here’s a scene from one of my favorite Oldman films, 2011’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

In this scene, British intelligence officer George Smiley (Gary Oldman) confronts his colleague and Russian mole Bill Haydon (Colin Firth).  This scene is a masterclass of good acting, put on by both Firth and Oldman.  As Haydon tries to justify his behavior, Smiley listens with deceptive calmness.  When I first saw this film, Oldman suddenly raising his voice made the entire audience jump.
