Sony Pictures and Scott Rudin are doing a big-screen version of the ground-breaking 1970s sitcom “Good Times,” Deadline reports here: http://www.deadline.com/2013/03/sony-pictures-scott-rudin-plot-feature-ilm-adaptation-of-70s-tv-series-good-times/ Is this a ‘dyn-o-mite’ idea, finally giving a story about a working-class black family a chance for some higher visibility? Or is it just tired?

If further proof were needed, Tony Awards voters showed Sunday night that they love the work of Mike Nichols and Scott Rudin maybe even more than Hollywood does. Both won Sunday night, both for the ninth time, Nichols for directing and Rudin for Best Revival with Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.”  They weren’t the only big winners of the night. A very small indie film became a very big and very successful musical, and scooped up Tonys far more than “Once” on Sunday night. For more details, go here.
