Summer Movies

So, it looks like most of the previews for this summer’s movies (at least the big ones) are out.

And I think at this point, it looks like this summer is going to be a much better summer for movies then last year…

Here’s some of the ones I think look good, and that I’m hoping to see… (Links go to either the movie’s official site, or Apple’s quicktime trailer site)

Dawn of the Dead

The Day After Tomorrow

Aliens Vs. Predator

King Arthur

Shrek2

The Punisher

Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse

The Chronicles of Riddick

Van Helsing

Now…. whether or not I can convince Janice to actually go see any of these movies with me is a completely different story….

Humor: Guys Answer to Valentine’s Day – Mildly offensive to some (I’m sure)

This first started making the rounds last year around Valentine’s day…

And it’s back this year…. don’t follow the link if fellatio offends you..

So, guys.. make sure you’re girlfriend/wife/friend with privileges or whatever you call her marks the day on the calendar! (oh… and if she’s not sure of her technique.. there appears to be a link from the above referenced page that provides a ‘how-to’

I’m going to set a reminder in Janice’s iCal =)

Clone Wars: Season 2

Its almost time…

The second and final season of Clone Wars animated shows (they fill in some of the story between Episodes II and III) is going to begin airing on Cartoon Network on March 26th… Cartoon Network is now starting to run some commercials for it, although they don’t have any up on their website yet. If you really want to see it… follow this link …(Quicktime required)

Star Wars on DVD

So, according to the rumor sites (you knew there were Star Wars rumor sites didn’t you?)

It appears the packaging for the DVD release of the original Trilogy (Episode 4,5, and 6) this September. Go here (some French site) for a peek at them..

At first glance, my preference is going to be the Jedi vs Darkside packaging…. (everyone make note of that, in case you’re planning on buying it for me). Although, the Imperial Collection would probably be my second choice.

“Super”Millionaire

So..its like night 3 now..

and the questions are just getting stupider..

For example, one guy had this question in order to win $50,000.00

“In the US, what day do record companies normally release new CDs on?” (or some variant there of… I don’t remember the exact wording)

I mean… come ON! I think Kael could have answered that one correctly (if he could talk… and if he knew what a CD was) I don’t think there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know that new CDs and new DVDs come out on Tuesdays… just like most new theatrical releases are on Fridays or Wednesdays…

what’s next? the 10 million dollar question becomes “Who is hosting ‘super’ millionaire?”

On a related note.. Windoze’s inherent insecurity was also one of the questions (I think it was only a $10,000.00 question though) ‘The fastest spreading virus in internet history was released in January 2004’ (For those that missed it.. MyDoom became the fastest spreading virus shortly after it began spreading)

Celebrity Mole:Yucatan

Season ended tonight, and we find out that the mole is…

Angie Everheart…. so… Both Janice and I ended up being wrong. And of course, when they go through and show the clues that they provided in each episode…they all seem incredibly obvious after they announce who the mole is.. but the clues are things I didn’t even look at when looking for the clues put in to the show…

Still can’t figure out why we watch The Mole, of all the tv shows we watch…its gotta be one of the dumbest… we must watch it because there is nothing else on…..

They’re Coming! They’re Coming!!!

Its finally going to happen! They’re finally coming!

Look here!

Mark your Calendars…place your pre-orders NOW. September 21st is the magic day! The original Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes 4,5, and 6 – The Special Editions, not the original theatrical releases) are finally being released on DVD! A 4 disc set that includes all 3 movies, new footage, behind the scenes stuff…and other goodies.

As all good SW fans know..the SE versions are the only ‘official’ version of the movies now.. Lucas states that the SE is what he intended all along, but the technology wasn’t there when he filmed them originally… with the exception of the whole Greedo shot first thing.. The SEs are basically the same as the original releases.

Anyway.. its good that they are finally being released… Time to go see who is giving the best deal on pre-orders.. and place my order for 2 of ’em…

Survivor: All Stars

So the second ‘All-Star” was voted off last night

If you watch the show, you know that Tina was the first to go last week, mainly because she had already won. A strategy I understand..but that I think will come back to bite the people using it in the ass.

The all-star voted off this week, was Rudy…so I guess we won’t be seeing him win… unless of course, there is the whole “outcast” tribe like there was in the last survivor….

On the plus side…. all 3 tribes finally (after more then 3 days) have Fire….

Celebrity Mole: Yucatan

So..there’s only one episode left now

Tonight’s episode narrowed it down to the final 3. You may remember from the previous entry, that Janice picked Tracy Gold as the Mole, while I picked Mark Curry. Since Tracy was ‘executed’ tonight…she was not the Mole. I still think its Mark, but I guess we’ll have to wait a week to find out.

I’ve watched both of the ‘celebrity’ moles that have been aired… and apparently, this is one step above the WB’s Surreal Life as far as TV shows that will take washed up celebrities.. I think the show was more entertaining when it originally aired, and the players were all ‘normal’ people…

Survivor: All Stars

So, after the Superbowl.. the new season of Survivor started…

18 past players of the game returned, including Rupert from the last season… poor guy must have only been home for a few weeks before he shipped off to repeat his 39 day stint….

After watching the first episode.. I think I want Rudy (The old guy from the 1st series.former SEAL..absolutely hilarious) or Rupert to win…

Of course.. you’d think that after 6 (7?) shows.. .these people would spend a little time in their backyards learning how to make fire… I mean come on people! Every season starts with the ‘survivors’ needing to build a fire… and these guys are the freaking “Best of the Best”????? they’ve all gone 3 days without fire… not exactly a great showing from the “All-Stars”
