Our thoughts go out to everyone in the path of HURRICANE HARVEY. Special good wishes to one of my oldest friends JEFF STEIN and his family. Braving through this with a positive attitude. And to all those helping. Help because you can... Local news is very important. Don't think so? Check this... NET NEUTRALITY comment deadline is today at 7pm ET. Get in there... As you may have noticed I took a lot of time off this summer. I published 7 days a week for 10 years. I needed a break. Normal 5-day a week publishes with rantnrave for MediaREDEF will resume on Sept. 5. Reminder that the REDEF site is updated all day long. 6 days a week and up-to-the-minute. You can view the raw curation here... Good things to watch over your long weekend? On HULU: Never saw the remake of the series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA? Go now. A fantastic show with lofty messages. One of the best ever. On AMAZON PRIME: Two great music docs. OASIS: SUPERSONIC. The rise and fall basically. Loved it. And the story of their record label UPSIDE DOWN: THE CREATION RECORDS STORY. The only guy crazier than the GALLAGHER brothers was the founder of their label ALAN MCGEE. On SHOWTIME: WHITNEY: CAN I BE ME. A truly sad and devastating take on her downfall and death. Shades of the same story that we saw in the AMY WINEHOUSE doc. What I thought I knew was wrong... Happy Birthday to BETH COMSTOCK, GARY GINSBERG, JORDAN LEVIN, JASON SHELLEN, GLENN S. EISEN, JENNIFER POLLAK, JAMIE TISCH, SEAN FINNEGAN, JOHANNA VANDERSPOOL, JIM HUGHES, and ELANA SOFKO. Belated to KEVIN REILLY, PAM KAUFMAN, IAN ROGERS, FRANK CONWAY, EILON TIROSH, BRIAN CHESKY, JEFF CLAVIER, DON DODGE, BRETT SCHNITTLICH, and ELANA BOURKOFF.
