Coming soon to a monitor near you
Posted Thursday, May 8, at 12:25 AM
Sorry about the delay once again. I've had a lot on my plate lately and I've neglected my poor little blog.
This is going to be short but I wanted to let you know what will be coming in the next few weeks. First off, if all goes well you can come back to visit on Sunday evening and a new post with a little review for Speed Racer should be waiting on you. My wife's birthday is this weekend, but I think I'll be able to fit it in. A few weeks later, I will be posting a review of the new Indiana Jones flick at the stroke of midnight on 21st. Well actually it will be more like 12:02 a.m. or I could get my wrist slapped by the studio -- and we don't want that to happen now do we. I have a few surprises up my sleeve but I can't give away too much just yet. Nothing too grand, but some will entertain you; most will entertain me but I hope there's a little something for everyone. Let me hear from you. What would you like to read about? Keep it entertainment related please. I'm letting my counterpart handle the sports blog. Let me hear your ideas. I love collaboration. And for those of you that have ideas about Star Wars -- you'll get a gold star. So check back in a few days and I'll have something with a little more meat to it posted and then check back Sunday for a review of Speed Racer. Until then… ciao
New favorite memory (Yup, it's Star Wars related) I've been a Star Wars fanatic from a very early age. I was able to see the original trilogy in the theater and have lived through the Saga's downturn in the 80's and its resurrection beginning in the 90's. So when an event happens that takes the top spot for my favorite Star Wars memory of all-time -- it must be huge. Right?...
Blockbusters here I come It looks like May is going to be my month at the movies. Being a Star Wars fan, May has always held a special place in my heart, with the entire Saga being released during this month. My wife's birthday is also in May, which is also a plus. Three of my top four must-see movies are coming out in May, with two coming out on back-to-back Fridays. Curses!...
It was so wizard (That means cool) Sorry about the delay folks, just recovered from my Star Wars hangover. In addition to the movies on Spike, I indulged myself in a little Legacy of the Force. Ah, what a weekend. What made the weekend even better was to learn that the Trilogy drew more viewers than the Rings trilogy. I like the Rings trilogy but to put it head to head with Star Wars was complete madness I tell ya -- MADNESS! I'll take Jedi over Hobbits any day...
Wookie Hooky As I write this, there are 21 hours until the network premiere of the beginning of the Star Wars saga on Spike TV. I will be in the office working when "The Phantom Menace" begins but I've concocted a plan. It's a little something I like to call Wookie Hooky...
The Darkside cometh This is a huge week in geekdom with the network debut of the Star Wars saga on Spike TV and since losing my beloved Star Wars room to the newest member of our household, I need this. I REALLY NEED THIS. I used to be able to pop the door open and stare upon my collection whenever needed and now they're cold and alone in storage. My Millennium Falcon -- taken down. Darth Vader wall -- gone. Even my poster collection has been relocated, so a weekend of Star Wars will do me good...
Goodbye my old friend The deathblow has been dealt. CBS has officially cancelled Jericho for the second time. In a statement, CBS exec Nina Tassler acknowledged the "passionate viewers" and an "engaged and spirited fan base" but still decided to let the series go. They say it wasn't pulling in enough viewers for it to be viable for the network to keep the series going. But what about those fans who were tuning in? Too bad I guess...
The countdown has begun I promised the next time I blogged I would be discussing my new viewing pleasure Dexter but I have to revisit some old ground that is becoming smaller by the minute. My beloved Jericho is down to two episodes and no word yet from CBS on its fate. I can understand why a network would want to cancel a show with a huge fan base and a hit on the Internet. Those pesky viewers -- who needs 'em!...
Respect for the game Over the weekend I had the pleasure to watch two games of the ResCare Basketball Tournament at North Putnam High School. The tournament involved seven teams from around the state including Greencastle's and Anderson's ResCare squads and it was a breath of fresh air...
Jericho is back and better than ever When Jericho was revived by CBS a few weeks ago, I held a collective breath and hoped for the best. I was not disappointed. Having only seven episodes I feared that the first two episodes would be good, then they would race to tie up the loose ends but it seems to be full steam ahead. So listen up CBS either picks up a third season or get ready to see Jericho somewhere else. The show is too good to sit and the people brought it back from the dead and will do it again if need be...
