So it’s 9:30-ish on Wednesday night, and my TV is off, because instead of Day Break, ABC is running repeats of the George Lopez show. As if that crap gets funnier with age, like Mad Dog or Night Train.
It seems that the dentally-disadvantaged inbreds used to determine the Nielsen ratings stopped watching the [...]

Justin Timberlake may be the only SNL host all season who’s actually been funny. Everyone else better give it on up for homelessville.
UPDATE: The “D*k in a Box” short left us gasping for air we were laughing so hard. Better than “Lazy Sunday.”

I just finished watching Day Break, the new Taye Diggs show in the old Lost time slot.
Its fantastic. I’m looking forward to the re-runs.
UPDATE: Jim has a nice review of the show.

Jeff does an in-depth analysis of BattleStar Galactica, and find that it is not an allegory for Vichy France, the Iraqi insurgency, or the defeat of Xerxes at the hands of the Greeks:

It’s just not that simple, people.
And that’s really the whole point. Life is complicated. In an extreme situation — such as living under [...]

Some people are a little jazzed up about the new season of Battlestar Galactica. Then there are some people who are a little too jazzed up, like the good folks at Frak Party.
Link via that frakker Jeff.

It’s as if there hasn’t been a decent movie made in the last fifteen years.
Tonight, I browsed my local mega-super-video-rental store, sifting through rack after rack, aisle after aisle, section after section, finding thousands of examples of steaming feces digitized and forever preserved to plastic disc so that, centuries from now, archaeologists can decode, analyze, [...]

HBO executives last week announced the next wave of original series they’re going to be adding to their lineup – a cop show, a hospital drama, a hospital comedy, and a new reality show.
Just kidding.
HBO calls its original series development “groundbreaking” and fairly so. If it could air on the major broadcast [...]

I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness
I’ve had days like that.

Tonight’s episode featured Clancy Brown as an intelligence agent of some kind, named Joe Inman. I first noticed Clancy in his role as the Kurgan in the movie Highlander. Since then, I’ve been vaguely aware that he’s been an unusually prolific actor, but little else about him.
Turns out Clancy’s a very interesting [...]

Here’s my predictions for tonight’s ep of Lost:
We know from the previews and the official podcast that:

The Losties capture one of the others in one of Danielle Rousseau’s traps
Sayid totures the Other for information
The timer runs all the way down when the Losties fail to hit the button on time

I can’t say what flows from [...]

If he grew long hair, got a few tattoos, and played a little guitar, my good friend and Florida legislator Adam Hasner would look very much like former Creed frontman and current solo artist Scott Stapp.
I’m sure each of them is tanking their lucky stars that they didn’t choose the other’s path.

Gentlemen, for those of you who aren’t afraid to take sloppy seconds off rocker Ritchie Sambora and think they can fill the very large, um, shoes of rocker Tommy Lee, take note: Heather Locklear is suddenly single.
Possible winning strategy: grab a guitar and learn to play Warrant’s Cherry Pie.

…a relentless torrent of punches to the “Rawk!” center of the brain.
