actually I have been listening to Martini Shot, and I love it. He’s a smart guy and manages to be funny and interesting on a regular basis: traits that I admire. Do you actually know him, or do you know if Martini Shot is particularly popular among industry folk?

And I actually didn’t remember where the name comes from, so thanks.

Did I ever get around to recommending this podcast to you: “Martini Shot,” by Rob Long, on KCRW? He’s a Hollywood TV writer-producer, and he produces, writes and narrates a weekly four-minute podcast on, well, on being a Hollywood TV writer-producer. It’s funny and revealing and very very clever. Martini shot, by the way, refers to the last shot of the day on any shoot. But you probably know that.

Comment on Questions For Deborah Solomon by Mark

I read her column religiously but it’s a guilty pleasure, like slowing down to look at a car accident. She is obnoxious, disrespectful of nearly everyone–including, memorably, buffoonishly pushing Stephen Hawking on what his IQ is–and hugely pretentious, all rolled into one. Gawker recently, and humorously, pointed out that lately her questions are taking up more column space than her subject’s answers.

I realize the Times is in big trouble, and needs to retain as many readers as possible, but I don’t feel Solomon’s self-promoting, sensationalized and ridiculously combative columns are the answer. Sure, people read them–people also check out a sleazily dressed girl at a bar, but that doesn’t mean you’re taking her home to Mom. People read Solomon, but from what I hear, very few people respect her.

At the very least, The Times should open a comments section below the on-line version of her column. They won’t, I don’t think, as they know what kind of responses would be posted. Here’s guessing they break 9:1 telling them to get rid of the mean-spirited hag.
