Jack Bauer Appreciation Society

Another 24 night, though I was a bit wary after last week’s plot developments. 24 will have to work pretty hard to pull off a satisfying ending this season, if you ask me. The main story was mostly resolved, and this new twist feels tacked on. But it’s still fun to watch Kiefer Sutherland do [...]

24 Club

I broke down this year and decided to give 24 another shot, since everyone and his brother was telling me how great it was this season. Actually, it was my brother, who’s a die hard fan who even plowed through the dross of last season. He’s a stoic, my brother. But Dennis made it an [...]

Academy Awards: Live Blogging the Mess, er, the Excess

5:20pm Yay! Jack Black plays it humble and goofy. ME: Hahaha! Isn’t he great? MORGAN: He looks terrible. 5:31pm. Hugh Jackman, stop it. You can’t get any hotter. Cripes. 5:40 Is Angelina Jolie wearing one of those giant candy rings? 5:44 JAMES: Whoopi looks terrible. 5:48 Penelope Cruz = Best Supporting for Vicky Christina Barcelona, [...]

Media Roundup 2

I guess it’s been over a year since I did this. Luckily, there are a few new things to put up. If I’d been stuck in the same stuff for twelve months, that’d be a little pathetic, no? MUSIC I finally dumped eMusic and went back to CDs and sharing with friends. The hot stuff [...]

Justin Timberlake Creates a Show Within the Show on SNL

If all legal bets are potentially off due to Prop 8, is it okay if I fawn over JT?

South Park’s Election Parody

I’m a fan, of many years. And my sympathies, politically, lie with the libertarians. I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone dislike labels, but by their own admission, their philosophies hew pretty closely to libertarian. But I’m a pragmatist, and most libertarians I know and read the words of are idealists. It just shakes out [...]
