Charlie, Charlie, Charlie…

Do you really want to stiff a network that did stay with you when you flipped? Do you really want to get the rep that you’re “difficult” and not just “crazy”? And, finally, do you really want to kick a million dollar payday every week in the bollocks? Hmmm… probably not.

The big question is how many movies are being released in 3-D for Blu-ray? Not many. The bigger question is how many of those movies being released in 3-D are worth buying on Blu-ray? Even fewer. There simply is not enough quality product out there for the average person to be able to justify the $2500-3000 cost of these sets. I am a movie buff. I love movies! But there is nowhere near enough quality titles out there or even in the pipeline to justify the cost of a new “3-D television home theatre system.” Period. And you know I’m right.

Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Steven Moffat and Piers Wenger discuss the importance and meaning of Doctor Who, and all the adventure, excitement and magic the show embodies.

The Doctor has changed since I began watching him. I am curious and somewhat… somewhat… apprehensive with the new Doctor, Matt Smith. I admit part of my apprehension is simply due to the fact that movie and television producers seem to keep insisting that the lead roles get younger and younger. I admit that is not entirely fair to someone like Matt Smith who seems to think he has landed the role of a lifetime… which he has. And my worries over the selection of Christian Bale as the Dark Knight turned out to be 100% unfounded as was my horror at the announcement of Heath Ledger as the Joker. So, right there is more than enough precedence to encourage a “let’s give it a try” patience which I have every intention of doing.

How friggin’ low can the FOX Propaganda Network go? Indoctrination? Political organizing? These people are simply nuts! They are so paranoid, so burned that they got routed last November that they are literally finding conspiracies and plots in anything and everything that any newspaper, magazine, television station, radio station or broadcast program that does not march lock step to their agenda. It isn’t enough that they are turning American against American in an ever rising level of violence. No, now they want to spread fear… fear of the “indoctrination” of our children by “them.” Well, they are the “them” we should fear. Because “they” represent something I had hoped would never arise in America – the contemptible extremists who, failing to succeed by winning the approval of the people as exemplified by a free election, will use anger, fear, hate and violence to achieve their political goals… even if it means the destruction of the America as we know it.

Sarah Palin — reality TV star?

The former Alaska governor is teaming with uber-producer Mark Burnett to shop a reality series about her home state, network sources confirm.[Read the rest... ]

Oh, god. Oh, god… where’s my vomit bucket…

I apologize in advance to all of the neo-fascist rightwing-nuts out there, but the woman has no shame. Can it be any more apparent that she abandoned her post as chief executive of a state to simply make more money? Can it be any more apparent that she cares more about making money than her responsibility to those who voted for her? Who expected her to abide by her pledge to them? Can someone explain to me how starring in a reality show is “serving her country”? No, let’s put her bullshit aside. Ms. Palin has one love – herself. She wishes to serve one master – herself. Her chief concern is the promotion and enrichment of one person – herself. If you believe otherwise, then you have fallen victim to one of the better PR con jobs of recent history. You should be ashamed.

If you ever needed evidence that it doesn’t take talent to land a television role, here it is. Today’s television execs aren’t looking to give us talent to lure us to their show, they’ll settle for controversy and/or self-fueling media-hype. Anyone care to bet on what Mother Palin’s reaction will be to those critics who may have the audacity to not be gentle with her daughter’s performance? I’m sure she’ll manage to come up with some diatribe to make it all out to be an anti-American and anti-patriot attack. I have confidence in her. I admire how she manages to live with two sets of standards.

If I didn’t know better I’d think they added a laugh track to the show. I really don’t want to kick a man when he’s down… and believe me when I say that Leno is down… but this was one lame show. The gags didn’t work. It wasn’t funny. Conan even beat him up in exit strategy! Trump and Kutchner? That’s among the best he could do? Ouch! That’s gotta hurt.

I think Jay’s gonna find that the return to “The Tonight Show” will not be as smooth as he or NBC hopes

The worst Super Bowl party ever? Watch Dave, Oprah and Jay in this super commercial.

I didn’t expect to see this! Leno and Letterman? Together? Promoting Dave’s show? On CBS? Who in Hell thought of this? Who in Hell was able to pull it off? Who in Hell called the ambulances for the NBC execs having coronaries after seeing this? Fan-friggin’-tastic!

Jimmy Kimmel Live – Jimmy Kimmel on His Leno Appearance

Did Jimmy Kimmel “sucker punch” Jay? Hmm… hmm… No! I don’t think so! If everybody and everything is a viable target for Jay, then everybody and everything is a viable target for Jimmy… on Jay’s show. Jay really needs to get off his pity perch. Fast. If he steps back onto “The Tonight Show” with that “pity me” act, he’ll tank fast. Of course, there are millions of us out there who aren’t even going to give him the chance. We’ll be watching Dave on CBS.
