HBO CEASES PRODUCTION ON ‘LUCK’ IN WAKE OF HORSE DEATHS
For a high-profile series headlined by a star like Dustin Hoffman and produced by the likes of Michael Mann and David Milch, this is an awfully extreme and rash decision. That said…
I’m no animal rights’ fanatic, but three horses dead in two years does sound like a systemic problem. And as someone who feels guilty when goldfish in my care die, I can’t say I wouldn’t have made the same decision.

I have a plan to fix the Oscars, but no one will listen to me — make better movies and employ actors who aren’t assholes.

LAST NIGHT’S SCREENING
We’ve been streaming old episodes of “Emergency.” It’s the kind of show David Zucker mercilessly mocked, but I have to tell you, it’s compelling television and perfect escapism.
