The first rule of flea club: You do not talk about flea club.
I'm so glad Bucky Katt is a fan of Fight Club. It's one of my favorites from the WTF is happening? genre.
Guys think they own this movie but we all need a little project mayhem.
- My name is Suzie and I love Supernatural on the CW. (Hi Suzie.)
- The fourth season premiere was the best episode to date
- Love that they've introduced the "other side" of the equation
- Thank you iTunes - my hotel doesn't carry the CW and I'm DVR-less
- Saw the opening at Comic-Con but don't remember the trees at the grave site
- Castiel. Yum.
- The title of the episode, Lazarus Rising, made the plot kinda obvious, but I forgive
- Has a character said mofo on a network channel before?
- And for a non-Supernatural supernatural note, I'm currently watching The Gift on TNT, so now I'm running behind. Bah. But it's really good - how did I miss this movie?
Particle board is possibly the geekiest-cool material known to man. Seriously. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are a step closer to developing metamaterials that could render people invisible. Invisible!
Hm. Just to the human eye, or all seeing creatures? The article omitted this important detail. Invisibility is awesome but not reliable if you have a line dogs tailing you. Wait – won’t they smell you and chase you anyway? And what happens if you get caught in the rain – do you make a clear outline like Kevin Bacon did in the trashy Hollow Man? Then there’s the inevitable wearing off, where you wind up naked in a crowded room. Plus the invisible man always winds up mad. Like a hatter. Have Zhang and company taken all this into account?
They probably watch far less B movies than I do.
Blog blogging is a cheap excuse to avoid original writing. Hey, I'm busy. But at least I'm not cheesy on the outside like some people.
A murder would be nice, of course... but don’t let him make you his mare.
In a word, awesome.
Act 1 of Doctor Horrible's blog is out today, July 15.
From my feeds, tweets and emails today, several blog-worthy bits:
- Arrested Development the movie! Yes, go buy the DVDs now.
- Tastespotting.com Share and browse pictures of food. Tasty - and I finally have an excuse for snapping shots at restaurants.
- Dr. Horrible Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. Hello, July 15!
- MyGallons.com For those of you who will be sitting home all summer, pre-purchase gas at today’s prices and avoid increases, they say…
"I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be." I salute you Peter Gibbons!
I stupidly left Office Space off my list of rewatchable movies. I caught half on Sunday afternoon as I blissfully did my own form of nothing, including designing a blog for a friend, getting my hair done, and eating a delicious grilled cheese on oatmeal bread.
True nothingness is not easy to achieve.

The artistic designs and stories captured by movie posters are part of the season's entertainment. Trailers too.
The 2008 schedule is packed tight with expected blockbusters, and I'm about 60/40 with theater-worthy and DVD/cablers.
Firstshowing.net has a great rundown of upcoming releases.
Using their poster collection, I created a mini-gallery of the movies I most look forward to.
What do these choices say about my movie taste?
I came across this cute little gadget for sharing between ipods called miShare. The software is still in beta but as a multi-pod owner, I appreciate the idea. And only $99. So, um, let me know if you buy one.
A short blurb from ICYDK made me laugh today - and sparked a rush of good memories.
Quoted from Keanu Reeves -- "We were hanging out in New York recently... it was Halloween. These two guys in Smurf uniforms came up to us and one of them said, ‘Oh look it's two fat guys who want to be Bill & Ted.'" Heh.
Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years since me and my friends went on multiple excellent viewings. Woah.
That's generally how I feel about watching reality TV too, Conan. Long before day 12.
EW's cover story last week, Conan's Strike Diary, is the funniest article I've read in a long time. Maybe I need to read more.
Either way, check it out.
It was fascinating to watch the Heath Ledger tragedy unfold in the media yesterday. There was major press a little more than an hour after he was discovered.
TMZ's "Breaking News" usually involves BLC – Brit, Linds and C-list celebrities... But thanks to their strategic network of stalkarazzi, they've emerged leaders in breaking "real" entertainment news too.
Last night they kept the facts straight amid the steady stream of noise. Meanwhile, living up to its "old media" tag, the NYT erroneously reported weirdly deep Olsen twin connections.
TMZ reports death well.
I love A Knight's Tale. A forgettable popcorn movie, sure, but why resist the soulful tenacity of William Thatcher and his band of conspirators? I'm sure the critics hated the rock-n-medieval soundtrack, but I love that, too.
Heath Ledger's passing dims Tale's rewatchability. Unlike his better films, this was mindless fun. Death is such a buzz kill.
So sorry to see withdrawal was in you, after all.
... for the empty red carpets and 60 minute award shows. Maybe this format could be one of the terms of your new contracts? Hope y'all get back to work soon.
Returning to work after a long weekend has its challenges. This morning in the shower the Boomtown Rats snuck into my head and they stuck with me all day.
The song's about more than your average bad day, but still... you can appreciate the sentiment.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.
I want to shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-t... the whole. day. down.
Sir Bob rules. Unlike Mondays.
I dislike subtitles, but they're generally okay in small doses to add diversity or clarity. Tonight's Heroes went well beyond that threshold. I found the ep annoying rather than engaging. Blech. Unfortunately, I think the subtitles aren't entirely to blame - the story arcs were jaded, too.
I caught the premiere of Chuck half-asleep replaying on the Sci-Fi channel last week. I liked it, despite the ludicrous premise. Saw the same ep again on the flight out to San Francisco and warmed to it even more. I dig Chuck.
As for other fall premieres ... I still haven't seen Reaper or Cane, or any others for that matter, ha! But tonight I watched Supernatural - love it! - and the "Jerry" episode of 30 Rock, which was hilarious.
I don't steadily watch much TV but enjoy trying the new shows every fall. I think they're screwing with me this year.
So far I've watched Gossip Girl, Life, K-Ville and the new Kelsey Grammar mess. GG aimed at first season OC-fun, but didn't get there, and the others fell flat.
Next up are Cane, Chuck, Dirty Sexy Money and Reaper. I have high expectations for the latter two.
The long list of returning tripe doesn't help the season's overall outlook. ER's on life support and while I loved 80's-Spader, who watches Boston Legal? Emmy voters.
Other returning WTFs: CSI: NY, Close to Home, Desperate Housewives (seriously, people), Ghost Whisperer, House,Men in Trees, Rules of Engagement, and 'Til Death.
Shiver.
I see Peter Fonda everywhere. First I caught him in an old horror movie, Race With the Devil. The creepy ending made the dated movie more than worthwhile.
Since I watched Race, he's randomly popped onto my radar almost daily: On the DVD Wild Hogs, in a late-night jetlagged 60s music infomercial, and through media rounds for 3:10 to Yuma.
Is he as cool as he and his fans think? I doubt it matters.
Saw Order of the Phoenix at the end of vacation. Having read the last chapter and epilogue of the final book beforehand, the movie, for me, played like an interstitial in its plotting, certainly not length, making me wonder why the adult book fans even care to see the movies. Especially since the movies don't stay true to the books.
Oh, I'll spare the spoilers, but I absolutely adored the series ending. The end and the beginning of Sorcerer’s Stone are the only parts of the series I've read, but I so love what Potter has done for kids and reading. And book-shy adults, for that matter.
Listen, I know it's been almost 20 years since the original, but Live Free or Die Hard is a really fun movie. Sure, it helps to be a fan of the series and the cast (including my fave ad guy), but I haven't enjoyed the movies this much for months. And did I mention Kevin Smith costars as a hacker named Warlock? Perfect.
An awesome new local theater with comfy tall rocking seats made for good bopping and dodging with the action on screen, too. Seriously.
What's worse than $20 for two tickets to the movies? Seeing the Silver Surfer. I know the first Fantastic Four was pretty lame... but would they do it all over again? Hell yes! Jerks.
From EW: Jesse Martin has reupped with NBC's Law & Order and will return as Detective Ed Green for at least 13 episodes of the 18th season... Martin's deal follows the show signing Jeremy Sisto to replace Milena Govich and Fred Thompson announcing his decision to leave his role on the series as district attorney.
Thompson's spot will be filled by L&O veteran Sam Waterston.
Love the two ‘Britain's Got Talent’ videos that made the rounds yesterday: A cutie pie with amazing pitch and a regular bloke who's an opera savant.
Let's sing-song together: "Their show's better than oooour show."
For those of us who have resisted Tivo for post-college Salem addictions, iTunes is a new dragon: Days of Our Lives episodes will cost $1.99 each, with a 20-episode multipass going for just $9.99.
So what if 80s and 90s nemesis Stefano is back? Patch and Kayla, too... and I'm sure Bo and Hope are about to embark on something while Marlena hangs with Satan. Sigh.
For what it's worth, I liked how The Sopranos ended, so very much like it started: The core family together, a looming but undefined danger, and symbolism through animals (now a cat tormenting Paulie vs. Tony's birds).
I liked the closure for Phil and Junior, how Janice remained the same, and showing the FBI guy gone over the edge. I also enjoyed the irony of Paulie - always the most annoying and suspicious of the crew - left standing.
It took me about ten minutes to decide how I felt (that is, ten minutes after I realized my cable didn't crash). I definitely wanted and expected closure...but I can define that for myself. Cool.
Such a friggen conceited way to celebrate the big 3-7, Kevin Smith: Throw yourself a birthday party in a public venue, charge fat admissions, and hang out with hundreds of strangers who want you to talk about yourself all night.
Very nicely done.
Not a whole fan of Peta but the poll is fun.
Since you're wondering, I'm not a vegetarian but don't eat beef, pork or fish. Just the birds. Squawk!

Will Crist pardon Jim Morrison? To pass the time as we await this major decision, I suggest writing topical haiku or stringing Doors song titles (or lyrics) together.
Breaking News on CNN tonight:
ANS's estranged mother has blocked baby ANS and her real daddy from leaving the same place the estranged mother faught for dead ANS to leave.
It's time for everyone to do the hokey pokey and move the f* on.
A big week for future trivia buffs...
Also this week ...
Either Keith Richards has the worst sense of humor, uh, ever, or he really shoved his father up his nose. Any way you read the story, he's got issues. Major league stuff.
Didn't he fall out of a tree and die or something last year?
Unable to find a decent Hollywood project since 1983, R2D2 quietly entered a life of civil service with the US Post Office.
Years later, bored with his excellent life, George Lucas joined R2 and took over a neglected rural route in the Hollywood Hills. They paid George in stamps.
He's got a respectable dance card, too.
No matter what Andy's in, I always dig his nerdy funnyman vibe. Let's hope NBC gives Andy Barker and his remote-controlled Sandra Bullock doll a chance. Eye of the Tiger, indeed!
Kudos for letting it all hang out but please watch the Melissa episode of Seinfeld to understand why you should never exercise naked in front of others.
My hometown rolled out the red carpet for John Travolta last night. Literally.
Travolta has lived in the neighborhood for five years and premiered his new movie at the local theater to raise funds for victims of the recent storms.
The media coverage was insane all week although nobody I know admits to being among the 1,000+ spectators at the red carpet.
Mr. Travolta and I go way back. He came first but we were born in the same hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey. He and my dad used to fly out of the same small airport. Now he lives in my hometown.
I'm feeling pressured to become a Scientologist.
Watched a rebroadcast of the Spirit Awards this afternoon and was super-impressed with Ryan Gosling's acceptance speech for best actor. So grounded and gracious. His acting in Half Nelson was brilliant.
The Departed was an excellent surprise Best Picture. This movie may actually be one of my all-time favorites.
While Wolf Blitzer struggled to appear relevant to the Anna Nicole story, I read TMZ.
Then I googled anna nicole bobblehead.
The glamorous blonde bombshell Anna Nicole is featured here with her dog Sugar Pie ...
My team co-produced the SixDegrees network on AIM Pages, so I think that puts me at most, two degrees away from Kevin. Okay, maybe three.
Very cool, turning a college drinking game into a philanthropic effort, Mr. Bacon.
The network suits appear to know something about our collective psyche, airing Prison Break, 24 and Heroes on Monday nights. Nice punch.
Those of us without DVRs have the added rush of deciding which network to watch and which to manually record with our dinosaur VCRs.
I taped NBC.
So soon after confessing my love, devious PC invites his new friend, Faux Mac, to join the fun. So cute - especially since F. M. is such a big Mac fan.
Jack's worst day ever makes for the best 24 viewing to date. Kaboom!
On another note, I went to the official 24 site by way of IMDB and found weird TV show-based magazines. Blink.
There's a slew of them: 24, Lost, Smallville, etc. Buffy & Angel too -- apparently a show doesn't need to be on the air to support this fluff.
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack bite juggler and kill the prick
So happy about the return of 24. They lost me in seasons three & four but had me again for five... but I wondered about six. Wonder no more: The first two hours were as viewable as a book I can't put down.
My belief remains happily suspended... but Kumar as a bad guy? Pshaw!
By the way, quick research on the 2nd hour's dedication reveals that the deal attached to marines flying helicopters for the show is to dedicate the associated eps as requested.
I'm several months behind the times on this entry. Even so, with all the electronics industry buzz this week I feel the need to (finally) publicly declare my love of the Mac vs. PC ad campaign. The spots make me laugh and John Hodgman always manages to elicit an awww out of me while the Mac-erisms of Justin Long stylishly impress.
Tonight we tuned into 1 vs. 100, a multiple choice "trivia show" on NBC. The gimmick is that one contestant plays against 100 others.A. Eastern gray squirrel
B. Calista FlockhartC. An amoeba
I know we've pledged to stop caring too much but Prison Break deserves some love for last night's 'finale' ep. I mean seriously, did anyone forsee that ending? I expected some nice agent-on-agent shooting action but definitely not that tasty twist.
And Bellick... so you cut a deal with the devil. You deserve it. But could the process have completed any faster? So dumb it almost ruined the ending. Almost.
Okay, I admit it: I'll be there in January to see how this all plays out.
OJ Simpson escaped legal hassles again today when plans to release his book were canceled by NewsCorp. Glad this went the right way but let's not forgive any of the jackasses who were involved.
Murdoch & company must want to plant a big sloppy wet one on Michael Richards for distracting the media today. Jackass.
When I get pissed off I use the F word. Frankly, I use it a lot. Sometimes I even tack a mother on my F word. But I gotta say, racial slurs just don't come to mind. Ever. Why would they?
Richard and Mel (not to mention OJ)... are angry men. Bad men. Very, very bad men. Babu wouldn't approve.
Among the flurry of emails from TMZ tonight was a real gem: K-Fed's reaction to Brit's divorce petition. The fact that he's "interested" in custody is a head-$cratcher given he has other kids already living away from home.
I adore the passive-aggressive photo TMZ included in the press release & blog post.
Thank you, TMZ. Now we -- and the lawyers! -- can see that Kevin is an unfit father who would clearly expose the kids to the risks of second-hand smoke.
The trouble with filing for divorce on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences' is admitting to yourself that somewhere along the way, being with your ex was okay. (Speaking from experience.)
Britney has exposed herself to the whole world, yet we'll never truly know what she saw in him.
Then again, I don't really care. I'm just bummed that the oft-amusing K-Fed tales will surely fade away.
The Lost Theory Creator is another site created and visited by people with more free time than me. Bless them. The Creator suggests a lot of interesting scenarios but not sure they're clued in to actual spoilers.
Lost continued its good storytelling mojo with last week's ep. Sad about Eko but good stuff around him and his brother. Still frustrated that the storyline is moving slow - especially since the "half-season" is coming to a close this week.
If the replacement show doesn't work out... will Lost come back sooner than planned? ... and will Criminal Minds (?!) still get better ratings? WTF? Erm.
I was headed home to Florida this weekend until things got hectic for Scott. The trip was going to be short enough as it was, so we rescheduled for early November.
The weekend turned out nice anyway. Saw The Prestige (fun but too long), shot several dozen fall pictures, went clothes shopping for nothing in particular, had dinner with friends. Also found myself wide awake at an unholy 5:30 Sunday morning so I watched Lucky Number Slevin. The plot was too obvious but the movie was okay - good cast and mindless viewing.
About the headline... someone sent me this site last week. I never quite mastered the ability to speak fluent Pig Latin: http://www.snowcrest.net/donnelly/piglatin.html
Last week Locke, Eko, Charlie and other faves remained, erm, Lost. I was discouraged. Jin and Sun's back story is compelling but we've been there too often to go again this early in the season.
Lost was excellent tonight. Locke's backstory was unexpected and added more dimension. Eko and Desmond were welcome returns, as were Charlie and Hurley. And how cute did Boone look? Great scene at the airport. They didn't reveal much overall but the ep was the best this season.
BTW, did anyone other than Hurley (and the Eko-hallucinating Locke) see Desmond? Wondering if D's one of Hurley's imaginary friends, especially with the precog around Locke's speech.
Maybe next week we'll get to see Jack, Sawyer, what's-her-name and Locke & the gang all in one episode. (Based on the preview, probably not.)
Still need-to-know: Where the hell are Michael and Walt?
Flipping channels tonight and caught Biography airing 'Dead Famous' featuring Jim Morrison.
The show was as hokey as expected including tours of potential Jim haunts, interviews with "casual acquaintances" and a big-finale seance where Jim graciously hung out for a while. I watched every minute.
I'm a Jim Morrison junky. I've been on the wagon for years but there was a time that I lived-and-breathed Morrison, circa the mid- to late-80s.
Framed wall poster, the music, poetry, hippy hat, dog-eared bio, attitude, all of it. Never mattered that he died when I was a baby. Jim was my one and only gratuitous idol. I even convinced my advanced history teacher senior year to let me do my research study on Morrison.
I carry remnants of my adoration; I was annoyed by tonight's show because it was disrespectful. They claimed Jim would dig it but I disagreed. Being spiritual doesn't mean you support the notion of a televised seance - especially with feigned results.
No one here gets out alive? Indeed.
Finally watched the first three eps of Dexter OnDemand tonight. There was quite a bit of gore that received the fast-forward treatment. Not for kids but not too high on the slasher-movie scale of gore, either.
I found myself wondering what would happen next and enjoyed the cast but the show is... icky. Dexter is likable (an unfortunate real-life trait of serial killers) and his "work" has been perfected to focus soley on vigilantism. Does that make it okay? Maybe. At least in his Miami.
Two issues for me: His father's odd tutelage - talk about supporting your kids' interests at all costs. And hearing Dexter's thoughts is annoying as hell. I hate voice overs. I would rather get the story straight on the screen or read the book (there apparently is one).
So, I'm not a huge fan of Dexter. Then again, I want to see what happens.
NBC Universal has been developing a network of interesting Web sites under the Bravo and USA banners. Characters Welcome launched a while back, Brilliant But Cancelled and OutZone are more recent. All three sites feature blogs and boards and aim to engage visitors in online social interaction.
Death Watch '06 is a subset of Brilliant and is dedicated to predicting which new shows of the season will crash and burn, and in what order they'll do it. I haven't registered to actively participate but the meter and commentary are fun to read.
As much as I aimed to check out the full breadth of the new TV season, Death Watch reminds me that I've missed a lot of the shows. This might not be a bad thing.
I had a conversation with Chris D. on Monday about which Stephen King book was featured in the Lost premiere. Some folks said Christine and others said Carrie. A screen grab from ABC.com shows it was Carrie -- and that's the original print cover.
Is there a significance to Stephen King and/or 1974? How about Petula Clark's Downtown (1964) which was played on a 2004-ish DualDisc? And if you count Sawyers unknown neighbor, there were four captives in the episode. And four flashbacks.
Okay, I made the last one up. But there's definitely a pattern of fours.
We had a fun weekend that seemed even longer than three days. In a good way.
On Friday I caught myself exhibiting good blogger behavior - at several different points of the day I made mental notes of blog-worthy items to post later.
Here's a few from the last few days
Lost took less than two minutes to suck me back in last night. Nice reentry.
I'm getting lost for the weekend and will be unplugged until Sunday night.
I caught two more taped shows, Smith and Shark. Yes, tapes. I don't have Tivo and don't plan to get one. Besides, I'm really only a true TV junky at the start of each season. So far it doesn't look like I'll stick with (m)any new ones which keeps taping easy.
Smith was good. The pilot was over-styled (told in flashback) but I love the cast, and the stories and characters were interesting. They're not nice people but neither are Tony Soprano and friends.
Shark was a one-time view for me (and most of that was seen via fast-forward). Nothing new, stylish or interesting to the characters or storyline. I believe it was Entertainment Weekly that compared it to "House in suits"... and I don't like House.
Reading People early today and came across this quote from actor Matt Damon: "...we've started a group called Africa H20. Lack of clean water and sanitation kills nearly 4,500 children a day."
Facts and figures tell a powerful story: Over 4,000 children dying each day. Virtually unfathomable.
I don't value idols and celebrity fanfare. Most celebrities are wealthy and have great clothes, cars, homes. Some are good actors, athletes or musicians. Others are just good looking. I like to read magazines and enjoy the crazy headlines and stories on sites like TMZ but that's about it for me. Entertainment and amusement - not adulation.
However, I remembered this morning how much I appreciate the value of celebrities using their "powers" for good. Without Matt Damon's involvement, chances are I wouldn't be thinking about Africa's water problems. There's no tsunami or hurricane to draw my attention and researching to find causes is not only unreliable, it's just not something I do unless something draws my attention.
It's nice to have celebrities filling in the gaps between world events that get mass-media attention and issues needing our attention every day.
Every Fall I test drive each of the new shows. (Except, of course, those I deem unworthy of even one viewing, like the 'comedy' starring Brad Garrett.) So far I've caught Justice, Jericho, Kidnapped, Standoff and Vanished.
Justice is okay. I heart Ron Livingston but not Standoff. (I'll give it one more chance. I hated Bones at first, too.)
Vanished... has, for me. Similar premise I know but Kidnapped looks promising. Jericho was interesting but likely not sustainable.
One - maybe two - out of five? At least we still have Lost, Prison Break and 24. (Oh, and Supernatural... shhh.)
Finally caught up tonight with our friends from Fox River -- I was two eps behind and only three have aired this season. When I missed PB again last Monday I started to convince myself that I was losing interest. However, after watching these two eps I am still hooked.
That said, the writers are pushing us to suspend belief even further this season. Very risky. I mean c'mon - could Linc really have escaped that explosion?! The station would have taken 5 seconds at best. I wonder how far the audience - namely me - is willing to go.
Not too surprised by the amount of buzz around the pics of baby Suri premiering in Vanity Fair. Interesting noise that Suri looks Asian -- could it be that she's not Tom's baby?
Running baby Suri's photo through the face recognition software at MyHeritage.com, I discovered that her dad could be... Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong. (Or Paul Simon or Ringo Starr.) We'll have a hint in a few years if Suri goes into music vs. acting.
Another interesting option was Cameron Bright, the kid who co-starred in Birth with none other than Nicole Kidman. I'll resist saying more since he is only a kid. (But his parents did let him star in that icky movie.)
There were also some interesting women listed.
Oh, and none of the choices were Asian.
The death of Steve Irwin is indeed sad news. I loved watching this guy in action. Irwin helped raise awareness for animal conservation and care and did it with such contagious vigor. A little crazy but his good spirit always came across on the screen. My heart goes out to those he left behind, especially his wife and young children. I hope his family (human and otherwise) take comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved -- providing the world with a vicarious adventure with the world's creatures.
Prison Break got off to a bumpy start but I was still completely sucked in despite a minor nose bleed from the jumpy editing. Last year the season ended with them running off in the dark, NO! the sun must have been out because they're running in the daytime. NO!! They're riding a train they hopped. WAIT! No, no, they're running in the woods WITHOUT hopping off the train.
Hm?
One bit of character bliss was Veronica's murder. She just didn't gel with the rest of the story last year despite the brother's back story.
Went to see The Descent on Saturday and enjoyed it more than expected. It's not as 'highly original' as some are saying but it did a good job of making us a trio of claustrophobics. The actions of the characters made for some nice after movie debate - not bad for a horror flick.
Horror movies are not something I see too often at the theater. Clearly I'm a fan but one who definitely prefers watching the scary stuff in the safety of her own home or at a friend's house if I'm fairly confident that they won't don a clown costume or some other serial killer regalia. Some things just aren't funny.
I bought the first season of Prison Break on DVD last weekend. Almost $50 - normally I'd have said f* that but apparently I had to have it.
It's pretty unusual for me to buy a TV show at all, although I do have Angel, Buffy and Arrested Development.
Last year I was surprised by how much I dug it. Now PB is my friend. Mhm.
A poll on the official site says Sucre will get caught first. I guess we'll see on Monday....
Watched Red Eye on demand last night and found it surprisingly re-watchable. I think it scored pretty well at the box office last year. I first saw it in Orlando with Meg when I was down for a long weekend.
Speaking of... once in a while I'm struck by a sudden case of homesickness that can be overwhelming. It happened today when my mother (of all people) called me at the office. Talking to Scott tonight didn't help because we got into our semi-regular career vs. the future thing. Oh well, at least making me angry cured my homesickness. heh.
Two bits from Hollywood caught my attention today: the break-up of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson (seemed like a cool coupling) and the PEOPLE magazine cover that arrived at my office today featuring um, Brad Pitt.
What the hell is that around his neck? I know 80s fashion had its less-than-stellar moments, but I don't remember neck kerchiefs hitting their stride. Anyone else?
Dear Ken,
So lovely to hear from you again this week. The timing was absolutely perfect because we were just on the verge of forgetting all about you. Good to see how thankful you are to the folks at Jeopardy, especially Alex Trebek. He must be thrilled that you said such nice things about him.
Enjoying the joke,
Your friends and fans
