Hooray for POLIWOOD

Lionel Chetywynd and my debut PJTV Show “POLIWOOD” – which will appear every Friday – has been posted for your viewing pleasure… and feedback, please.  You can do that here or right next to the show online.  (Yes, it’s free – non-subscription.)  Lionel and I discuss Oliver Stone, Frank Capra, The Lives of Others and his own Hanoi Hilton.

Weekly, Lionel and I will be delving into that fabled (and often toxic) intersection of our entertainment industry and our politics.  And we’ll have guests!

    Wonderful. Is it possible to post links to during the program? There are many references to individuals and movies that may be unfamiliar to many viewers.

  2. 2. Roger L Simon

    Thanks, Steve. I noticed the same thing too. When Lionel and I get to riffing, there are (alas) a lot of years between us and a lot comes out. Keeping up with it difficult for our over-stressed tech folks and editors. But we are looking into this.

    ditto, Wonderful. And I liked the ‘riffing.’ The story about the embargo on Lionel’s Hanoi Hilton and his interview with McCain is truly shaming to the guys at Warner.

    I hope to see it after the election, though.

    Please god, McCain is President then. Although I expect a huge lawyer foodfight whatever the outcome on the 4th.

    Very good,Roger,but trying to access it shut down my Firefox browser a couple of times…tried Opera and it came on just fine.I wonder if anyone else had that problem.

  5. 5. heather

    Scott: I use firefox, and I watched it via flash, and it worked just fine.

  6. 6. Roger L Simon

    Scott, some people have reported problems with PJTV with Firefox on some platforms, although fewer and fewer. I don’t have problems myself. I am on a Mac with Leopard. Still the preferred browsers for PJTV are Explorer (Windows) and Safari (Mac). I am glad to hear it is working well on Opera.

  7. 7. Rob

    I have tried to watch the video (basic level) three times. In each instance it crashes the browser (Firefox on a fast Intel Mac with OSX).

  8. 8. Roger L Simon

    Sorry to hear that, Rob. You could try this link…

    Or just use Safari

  9. 9. Martin Leaf

    Was “No Country For Old Men” really about Islamic Terror ? Was Chigurh the personification of Islamic Terror ? Was there a strong Kabbalah theme throughout the movie ? Did this type of statement have to be hidden given Hollywood’s pro terror, anti America obsession ?
