Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Trailer

Please don't suck like the first one...

Wii (pronounced "Why")

So it was about 4:40 PM on a Friday and I'm getting ready to go home from work when I get a phone call...

It's my friend and co-worker Kevin. He's like, "They have Wiis at the Best Buy on Lexington and 86th Street. Do you want me to pick you up one?"

Now I had only a passing interest in the Nintendo Wii. It looks like it's a ton of fun with a bunch of people but I never have company and I'm actually okay with that.

Then I thought that if I don't buy one and Kevin does and I go over his house and play his, I will be instantly jealous and it will ruin our friendship (much like the guy who gets with the hot girl you had dibs on).

So I raced over to Best Buy and yada yada yada...



Does anyone want to come over and play with me?

Heavens To Murgatroid!

Thursday, April 26, 2007

Ugh! Today Is My Least Favorite Annual Work Day*

Yup, it's Bring Your Sons and Daughters To Work Day again

I can't stand kids running around the office all damn day.

They always organize and roam like a pack of wolves looking for meat.

Especially the little girls. when 3 or more get together, their conversations turn into a collective screech.**

I wish I had an office and could close my door all day.

Does this make me a bad person?

* I subscribe to the Peter Gibbons train of thought that 'Everyday is the worst day of my life' but this day stands out in particular.

** Sadly this is a trait that girls do not grow out of until they are elderly. Think that's mean or sexist? What's that noise girls make when they haven't seen each other for longer than two weeks and they run into each other on the street or at a party?

Lost Season Three: "D.O.C."

What. The. Fuck?

What I Liked:
  • I'm not usually a fan of Yunjin Kim's acting but she was great in this episode. She held her own against the best actress on the show (Elizabeth Mitchell)
  • Oh, Juliet. I knew you weren't completely on the side of the Others
  • Mikhail's alive! Thank God. He was too cool to kill already.
  • Hurley was hilarious: "Ooops", "Mom" and the final "What?"
  • Jin knows kung-fu. Sweet roundhouse kick
  • We've come full circle on the Jin and Sun backstory
What I Didn't Like:
  • I'm sure when he dies it will be heroic on some level and redeem his character on some level but until that moment happens, unfortunately Charlie's still alive.
What We Learned:
  • Shortly after she marries Jin, an old woman blackmails Sun for $100,000 unless she will reveal that Jin's mother is a whore
  • Sun goes to see Jin's father and learns that a) Jin's mother was promiscuous and b) Jin might not be his son. He makes her promise not to tell Jin either nor that she met him
  • Sun goes to her father to get the money no questions asked promising to continue to turn a blind eye to his affairs
  • Sun's father says that Jin will have to repay this debt and that's how he ended up being a Korean thug.
  • Sun gives the old woman who is Jin's mother the money but threatens that she will have her killed if she sees her again
  • Our mysterious guest (listed as Naomi in the credits) speaks Italian, Chinese, Spanish and English
  • Juliet lost nine patients
  • The winner of the Race to Sun's Ovaries is...Jin!
  • History dictates Sun has about two months to live
  • The island increases sperm count (Five times more sperm)
  • Juliet left a tape recorded message for Ben detailing Sun's pregnancy saying that she will test Kate next (Good luck with that one)
  • Apparently in the real world, Oceanic Flight 815 crashed and was found and there were no survivors!
Questions:
  • Oceanic Flight 815 crashed and was found and there were no survivors. WHAT THE FUCK?
  • How did Mikhail survive or was he faking this whole time?
  • Where was Mikhail running to?
  • Why did Sun act like she didn't know what Jin was doing for her father?
  • Who sent Naomi?
  • Is anyone on the island who has sex pretty much going to get pregnant?
  • Is Kate pregnant?
  • Is Juliet pregnant?
  • Why is Juliet helping Ben if she hates him so much?
  • Knowing what she knows, was Juliet having sex with Goodwin a suicide attempt?

24 Season Six: 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM

Body Count: 25 (+2)

Look like nobody is getting any tonight...

...except Vice President Psycho who has transformed into VP Ol' Dirty Bastard with his creepy line to his assistant Lisa, "Call the media, tell them the acting president's a dirty old man." Gross. Lisa is running home to get her ho bag. Who wants to bet that won't run smoothly.

Karen Hayes Isn't Getting Any...
Because Buchanan was responsible for releasing Fayed when he was in custody before he was anybody, Karen was forced to fire him to protect President Vegetable. It was genuinely sad because Bill has had the longest tenure of any CTU boss and Jack has even had the respect to never pull his gun on him. Which leads to...

Milo Isn't Getting Any...
Milo, who has been an employee of the government for at least seven years, got passed over (actually, not even considered) to be acting director of CTU for Nadia, who if memory serves correctly was a) under arrest and b) had her access limited due to her Muslim descent. Maybe is Milo spent more time focusing on his career and not trying to hook up with his co-workers, he might be somewhere in life. Tony waited until he was acting director to hit on Michelle. Speaking of CTU...

Chloe Isn't Getting Any...
It was good to see the old Chloe come out during her tiff with Morris. "How about don't arm nuclear bombs for terrorists?" As Kelso on That 70's Show would have said...



Jack Isn't Getting Any...
After Jack escapes Doyle, he changes location to a place that CTU can't track him and that he can safely blow himself and Cheng up with the chip. Everything is going according to plan. Jack gets Audrey and sends her up the road (but not before doing that creepy face touching thing he's been doing all season) and he's about to blow the place sky high and who fucks it up...



...that's right, Silver Spoons a.k.a. O'Doyle's, the non-alcoholic Bauer engages the Chinese which allows them to get away with the chip. Jack's under arrest but lo and behold, Audrey is batship crazy and is a couple of cats away from this...



Apparently, Audrey can't withstand a 1/10th of the torture Bauer can. Who's surprised by that.

Movie of the Week: Vacancy



Eh, it was alright.

Actually, I'm not giving it enough credit.

It was very tense for most of the movie. Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale were getting the best of their captors but you couldn't see why they had succeeded while so many had fallen to these weird hicks* who liked to make snuff films in this motel.

Anyway, it wasn't great but it was perfectly okay.

And then two things happen at the end that just annoyed the shit out of me. One something that should be impossible and the other was just a bad guy doing something incredibly stupid.

It screamed to things: a) the alternative tested poorly and b) the latter was due to the lack of a great ending.

Oh well...I've paid for worst.

* It was weird to see Ethan Embry as the mechanic. I had such high hopes for him after Can't Hardly Wait.

Lost Season Three: "Catch-22"

For the record, The Flash can outrun Superman.

What I Liked:
  • I always like Desmond episodes even though his story is just depressing
  • Kate...changing... Sorry, I'm a man. Sometimes I can't help it
  • Charlie and Hurley arguing about Superman and Flash
  • Sawyer asking for some "Afternoon Delight" and even offering to make a mixtape
  • Sexy Marsha Thomason landing on the island (even though she'll probably be dead by season's end)
What I Didn't Like:
  • The backstory was kind of pointless except for Desmond meeting Penny and one interesting easter egg.
  • Charlie lives another day
  • Now even I'm getting tired of this love square between Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Juliet.

What We Learned:
  • One week before he was supposed to get married to a woman named Ruth who he had been seeing for six years, Desmond got drunk and passed out, he was woken up by a Brother Campbell, took this as a sign and joined a monastery.
  • He even took a vow of silence
  • He was kicked out a) because Brother Campbell did not think being a monk was really Desmond's calling and b) Desmond got drunk on some very expensive monk wine
  • On his way out of the monastery, he helped carry some cases of wine to a young ladies car and that's how he met Penny
Questions:
  • If Desmond had let Charlie die from the arrow, would it have been Penny who parachuted from the helicopter and not Marsha Thompson?
  • What is the effect of Desmond saving Charlie?
  • Does the fact that she was carrying a Portuguese copy of Catch-22 and she knew who Desmond was mean that our new island guest is associated with the Portuguese men who Penny hired to help find Desmond?
  • What made the helicopter crash?
  • Why does everyone on this show read deep books? Doesn't anybody just read trashy novels?
  • How is there more than one copy of the photo of Desmond and Penny?
  • Why is that creepy old lady from Desmond's last flashback in Flashes Before Time in a photo with the monk?

24 Season Six: 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM

Body count: 23

Jack is rogue and all is right with the world.

How the hell did the Chinese drop Jack Bauer off in Hour one and return with Audrey in Hour 17? Was she on the same plane as Jack? That's the only thing that makes sense. Anyway, considering all that he has put Jack through since Day 4 (forcing him to fake his death, kidnapping and torturing him for two years and kidnapping Audrey), it is safe to say that Cheng Zhi is Jack's true nemesis. Anyway, Jack's probably going to kill him like all his nemeses.


I own you, Mister Bauer

On to the show, Jack tries to steal the component for Chang with the help of Chloe (Shock surprise). It's almost laughable how easy it for Jack to convince Chloe to commit treason. unfortunately for Chloe, Morris, who's computer she used, is actually as smart as she is and figured it out pretty quickly forcing her to confess to Buchanon. Jack gets the part after using a Jedi Mind Trick on the two soldiers guarding the nukes (who takes someone WORD that they have a Presidential order to tamper with nukes?) but Silver Spoons stops him and he's put under arrest.

Jack asks to speak to the President who, let me remind you, is a Palmer so you know how this goes. Jack verbally beats Baby Palmer into submission (Mr. President, you OWE me!") to going along with his plan to destroy the chip before the Chinese can use it, even if it means blowing himself up in the process.

Now that the nukes are gone, the White House staff returns to the Oval Office. After Dragonslayer tells Baby Palmer about the attempted perjury, President Palmer asks for Vice President Psycho's resignation which he refuses. Then Baby Palmer with his new balls grown via shots of adrenaline, pretty much blackmails him into resigning which he's about to do after a private, creepy moment with his assistant Lisa. I half expected them to have sex on the couch so he could leave with a good memory. Of course, as the VP watches with resignation letter in hand, Baby Palmer assures the nation that the threat has passed and then like Robocop breaking one of his prime directive, he shorts out and collapses.

Guess who's President now?

His first order is of business: canceling Jack's stupid mission. I know from our perspective this seems mean but you know what, the Psycho is right! This si a stupid mission. What if Jack shows up and they put a bullet in his head an take the part off his corpse? Anyway, Buchanon tries to secretly tell Doyle to turn the car around so they can subdue Jack but Jack pulls a pistol on him. He lets Doyle out the car and drives off to save Audrey. That's right, Jack Bauer has gone ROGUE (again)

Bauer Moments to Remember:
  • Bauer telling Doyle after he pulled the gun on him that I killed Curtis this morning from standing in my way, don't think I won't shoot you.

Starring with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Pearl

Thursday, April 12, 2007

Lost Season Three: "One of Us"

Wow, what an episode

What I Liked:
  • And the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama goes to Elizabeth Mitchell. If she's not nominated, I will be offended. And so should you.
  • Now pretty much everyone is back on the beach sans Locke.
  • Answers! Tons of answers*.
  • I think I'm finally okay with Sawyer and Kate being together
  • Jin has become quite snarky
  • Lots of Other-y goodness: Ben, Richard Alpert, Ethan, Goodwin, Mikhail
  • Juliet putting Sayid and Sawyer in their place
What I Didn't Like
  • Okay, this isn't really the writers' fault and is actually a testament to their work but damnit, I really wanted Juliet to be good now and I wanted Jack to be right.
What We Learned:
  • Juliet really likes the song, "Downtown"
  • Juliet was dropped off at a private airport (Herarat Aviation) to begin her work for Mittelos Bioscience. She thought she was only going to be working for six months
  • She gets tranquilized and taken to the island via submarine where she meets Ben.
  • She is supposed to trying to get the Others women pregnant but they keep dying.
  • Pregnancy is fatal to women on the island
  • Juliet wanted to go home after it appeared her experiments were not working but Ben told her that her sister Rachel had a relapse and her cancer returned*. If Juliet stayed, Jacob would cure Rachel
  • In season one, when Claire was having those crazy dreams, it was Ethan taking blood samples because they were testing the theory if it was then island killing the women*
  • Ethan and Juliet were trying to save Claire's life*
  • When Hurley discovered Ethan was an Other, he went rogue and kidnapped Claire on his own*
  • Juliet was in a relationship with Goodwin, the Other that Ana Lucia killed
  • "Carrie" was the book they were discussing in the book club
  • After the plane crashed, Mikhail pulled files on everyone on the plane
  • Richard videotaped Rachel with her son, Julian, and Ben showed Juliet that they were okay
  • The Others implanted something in Claire to make her sick so Juliet can appear to be a hero.
  • Juliet is still secretly working with the Others. The whole gas/handcuff thing was a plan by Ben. They are going to reconnect in one week
  • Getting Juliet away from whatever perm product she was using in Miami was the best thing that ever happened to her
Questions
  • Who is Jacob?
  • Is Jacob on the island?
  • Did Rachel's cancer really return?
  • Was everything Juliet said about Ethan and Claire true?
  • Why did the Others kidnap all the children?
  • Why did Ben get cancer?
  • Is Juliet going to turn on The Others?
  • Is Sun going to die?
  • Is the fact that all the pregnant women die the reason Ben doesn't want Alex with Karl in case she gets knocked up?
  • Is Desmond going to see a flash of The Others' plan?
  • Has Kate finally made her decision to be with Sawyer?
  • Is Jack ever going to stop trying to protect women who don't need his protection?
  • How does Jack get pussy whipped by women he's never slept with?
  • Or is this another Jack plan he's keeping to himself?
  • What is going to happen in one week?
* Could be a lie

Movie of the Week: Grindhouse



Wow, those movies sucked and I loved it.

Planet Terror
This is the kind of movie Robert Rodriguez is always making in some respect. The dialogue was laughable but the acting for the most part was pretty good. Everybody was game especially Marley Shelton, Rose McGowan and Naveen Andrews. The story made absolutely no sense but it was fun so who cares. The gore was extreme even for a 60's/70's homage. Even though it was a lot of fun, the intentional badness of the movie started to wear on me.

Death Proof
I can see why people would dislike this movie over Planet Terror (or in general). This should have definitely been the first showing due to the slow build. It has a typical Tarintino talking scenes which go on longer than necessary and there are tons of scenes that seem pointless but if you ever watched those 70's movies, there were always pointless character scenes so he was being true to the form in that respect. That said, it reminds me why I don't watch cheesy 70's movies. The dialogue and character interactions were much better in the second half of the movie.

I won't get into details as to not spoil but the car scenes were amazing. AMAZING. I can't believe this is the first time QT acted as his own cinematographer. Once the action got going, everyone was on the edge of their seat in the theater. Planet Terror was more fun but Death Proof was better directed.

On the acting front, here's another movie where I actually enjoyed Rosario Dawson's performance and Zoe Bell, real-life stuntwoman, is fucking awesome. Kurt Russell is always great in my mind.

The Trailers
My two favorites were "Thanksgiving" (Eli Roth) and "Don't" (Edgar Wright). "Machete" (Robert Rodriguez) looks like a movie he would actually make. "Werewolf Women of the S.S." (Rob Zombie) was pretty awful despite the cameo at the end. I am officially worried for Rob Zombie's Halloween remake.

Overall, it was an awesome movie experience. I really hope Harvey Weinstein doesn't split them as he's considering after the poor box office. If he does, I think Death Proof works better as a solo feature.

24 Season Six: 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM

Body Count: 23 (+7!)

Silver Spoons summed it up best: "Damn, Jack!"

President Balls
Well, it seems the coma did Baby Palmer (or as Dave Barry refers to him, President Gary Payton) good. His nuke to Fakistan was a bluff to get them to give him some information and what do you know, they JUST SO HAPPEN discovered a general in their Fakistan who was supporting Fayed. Even Dragonslayer had to bow to Baby Palmer's wisdom although I don't know why BP didn't just say, "Don't worry. It's a bluff." He just wanted to fuck with him. He won't be able to enjoy it long because he's dying but doesn't want anyone to know. He's probably trying to get VP Psycho to resign first so that when he does keel over and die, someone else will be President. I just hope the Speaker of the House isn't Al Swearengen.

CTU=Boring
Please, somebody blow up CTU. Milo has gone from hero to sexual harasser in eight hours. How times have changed. What is his problem? Did he want Nadia to be like, "Are you hurt, Silver Spoons? Good I hope you die!" Again, where is Chloe? By the way, while I enjoyed CTU's ruse with Fayed and the fake rescue attempt, I have to ask, does CTU have a stable of Muslim improv actors ready to go at the drop of a dime? That plan came together a little to fast/

Time for some Jack-tion!



It was as if David Fury (writer for last night) and the producers remembered what it is people have come to expect from 24 and Jack Bauer: Absurd heroism. Silver Spoons will never be on Jack's level. At this point, he's not even at one-hand Chase's level. Anyway, I don't know what happened to turn Jack from "Stun" to "Kill" but it was what we have been waiting for since the nuke went off in hour four and he shot Curtis. From riding under a sanitation truck like a stagecoach in a cowboy movie ( and using one hand to make a cell phone call!) to that first kill where he swept the guards legs and broke his neck like he was opening a jar of pickles, you knew it was on. After his quick killing spree, my joy was quickly destroyed by a phone call from the Chinese and AUDREY! She's like Bauer's kryptonite. How did the Chinese know he was "done"? A bigger question, why did Fayed throw his gun at Jack like it was a 50's episode of Superman?

Dangling
  • With seven hours left, here's a couple of plot threads that will probably be forgotten and unresolved:
  • Where is Jack's father?
  • Who was behind Baby Palmer's assassination attempt?
  • Will Baby Palmer ever find out that the Dragonslayer and VP Psycho framed his assassination attempt on Al-Assad?
  • Is former President Logan dead?
  • Is Josh Bauer Jack's son?
Bauer Moments To Remember:
  • Armed with a handgun and one clip, Bauer takes out seven armed terrorists (six with automatic weapons) without getting shot once.
  • For the last kill, Bauer fights Fayed man to man. When Fayed thinks he has the upper hand, Bauer trips him, tied a chain around his throat and say, "Say hello to your brother" before he chokes him with the chain. Damn, Jack.

Lost Season Three: "Left Behind"

Kate said it best. "Welcome to the wonderful world of not knowing what the hell is going on."

What I Liked:
  • I never get tired of talking about how much I love Elizabeth Mitchell's Juliet. She's like the female Ben
  • Locke finally joining the Others (even if he's faking).
  • Hurley conning Sawyer into being the leader figure of the beach due to Jack, Kate, Sayid and Locke's absence
  • An actual decent Kate flashback
  • The return of the smoke monster
  • Kate vs. Juliet! In the rain! Then they fall in mud! It was like a horny nerd who is dying got his Make-A-Wish Foundation letter answered.
  • Because there are no repeats, the story feels like it's progressing quickly.
  • The look on Kate's face after Jack asked about Juliet while she was all crying and pouring her heart out. Consider him moved on.

What I Didn't Like:
  • It wasn't a great episode per se but it was good

What We Learned:
  • Kate (this time using the name "Lucy") helped Cassidy (Sawyer's con victim from "The Long Con") avoid the cops when she was trying to con a guy into buying fake jewlery
  • Cassidy helps Kate confront her mother to ask why she called the cops on her
  • Cassidy was pregnant with Sawyer's baby
  • The Others and Locke left Othersville
  • Juliet does not know what the smoke monster is
  • The smoke monster can't get back the sonic fence
Questions:
  • Was Juliet really left behind by the Others or is she playing another one of Ben's games?
  • If she was really left behind, why?
  • Is Locke really with The Others?
  • Why did Kate and Juliet wake up a full day ahead of Sayid and Jack?
  • Did the smoke monster read Juliet like it did Eko?
  • If so, does this mean her days are numbered?
  • If the smoke monster isn't a creation of The Others, then what did it come from?
  • Is the sonic fence around Othersville more to keep people out or to keep the smoke monster out?
  • Did you see how big Hurley's shirts were? What would Hurley have done if his luggage was lost in the crash?

Movie of the Week: Blades of Glory



Will Ferrell + Sports = Funny

It wasn't on par with his work with Adam McKay (Anchorman, Talladega Nights) but it did make me laugh.

Honestly, I'm biased. Will Ferrell would have to try pretty damn hard to not make me laugh in a stupid movie like this.

I still think Jon Heder is one of the worst actors in the business but he wasn't THAT annoying.

I wish Will Arnett were given more lines because anythign he says is funny.

And Jenna Fischer...



Clearly, The Office isn't doing you justice.

It's here!!!

24 Season Six: 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Body Count: 16 (+2)

The worst day in all our lives continues...

Featuring Special Guest Star Kiefer Sutherland
I kid. Jack was in this episode more than the past three episodes and he even got to use his gun. Can someone please explain to me a) how they conveniently had an ax around to cut of Gredenko's arm and/or b) what Gredenko's game plan was after they cut his arm off? He should have been passed out from shock if not dead right away. Did he just want to die on a beach bleeding to death like he did? Is that why he turned Fayed over to a bunch of American bar flies as opposed to Jack Bauer? We'll never know.

General Hospital a.k.a. Passions a.k.a. CTU
Where was Chloe? I don't care about Milo who apparently so busy sexually harassing Nadia that he allowed hackers to infiltrate CTU and frame Nadia. He so isn't getting any. Luckily for him, Silver Spoons covered it up just...because. Since we've been rehashing season two, can these please blow up CTU again?

The HNIC
I don't even know how to explain this bit. First, Baby Palmer went from being in a coma to being suited up in less than 10 minutes thanks to a shot of adrenaline. Then the VP challenges his presidency under the 25th amendment which apparently states any black President named Palmer can be removed from office for being a pussy. The vote ends in a 7-7 ties which like count outs in wrestling means the titles stays with Palmer but lo and behold, VP says he never officially recognized Karen returning so he says her vote doesn't count. The Dragonslayer says it's going to the Supreme Court. That creepy blond from Invasion offers to perjure herself so that the VP can win his case but the Dragonslayer has the room bugged which is about the 3rd crime he's committed today. Anyway, he convinces (forces) the VP to drop his case and Baby Palmer is President again. So how does he celebrate by launching the nuke the VP was going to launch ANYWAY! Come again?


Bauer Moments To Remember

  • "Show me your head." We get a glimpse into the killing process of Jack Bauer.
  • After Fayed yells to one of the bar patrons, "I hope he's dead!" in reference to one of the the guys in shot in the bar, Jack gives him a swift kick in the face

Alanis Morissette Sings "My Humps"

NO ONE knows what it means, but it's provocative.

The Phunky 20

My boy Derreck came up with this questionnaire and I've decided to humor him and play along...

01. Have you ever seen the movie Breakin' in its entirety? This happens to be my favorite movie of all-time. What did you think of it? If you have not seen it, do you have any plans to do so any time before you croak?

05. Do you have any quirky eating habits that other people think are weird?

I generally eat my sandwiches dry (no mayo, no mustard).

06. Do you believe in the afterlife? Why or why not?

I hope not because that would mean that on some level I've had multiple tries at life and this is the best I could do?

07. Fill in the blank: ____________ makes the best french fries in the galaxy.

Social

08. Is being a good kisser more important that being good in bed?

Being a good kisser is more important as you will be kissing more than f*cking.

A year goes by, and the snail climbs back up to the same front door and knocks once again. The owner of the residence once again swings the door open, looks around and then down and sees the snail. And the snail goes "What the fuck was that all about?" That happens to be my favorite joke of all time. Did you think it was funny?

Yes

10. Do you have a really good story from your college years?

Depends what I got famous for

20. If you could have sex to any song and it NOT be a slow jam, which would it be and why? Hell, maybe you have already done so. I dunno.

Portishead's "Glory Box"

Vote To Save Friday Night Lights

The winner of Kristin Veitch's from E! Online Save One Show poll usually returns next season and while I love Veronica Mars, I think the world would be a better place if there was a second season of Friday Night Lights. Hell, even if you don't care, just vote for me.
