George Carlin has stepped into it again, or so says WalMart. The mega retailer will not sell his new book in stores due to (this is alleged) the cover which depicts a modified painting of the last supper with George Carlin in it. Now I am a religious person, but I found a link to the article on CNN, and I think the cover is a scream! As soon as I saw it I laughed. I have no idea what the book contains (When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops), but knowing Carlin, it will be spiced with a lo...

I hope that breaks the 'our Gang' Curse.  I had serious reservations about his guilt as well, but then I did not sit through the evidence.

Yep!  I took my oldest son to see it.  he is not the movie nut my youngest is, but he really wanted to see it as well. I looked for things I did not notice in the first, but I really did not notice a lot.  Other than the Padme dialog is getting old very fast.  And sorry Texas, I still did not sympathize with either Anakin/Vader or Palpatine/Sidius.  They were just evil.  I say Eeeeevvvvviiiiiilllllll! So now that I have agreed with Texas Wahine, Stevendedalus,...

Sorry Zoomba, This movie sucked big time!  WHy?  Ok, everyone not seeing it get the hell out of here!   Go     Scat!   Shoo!   Why?  Because the conversion of Anakin was so lame!  It really sucked!  As a Jedi (almost master), he knew the evil of the Sith lord, and yet he just said "duh!  oh, okay!". That blew it for me.  The special effects were great, the story was sad, and his conversion jsut sucked monke...

Well, I finally did finish the book and then went out this past week and bought House Harkonnen. That might be a testament to how good it was, and on its own and forgetting who his father was and what he wrote (Brian not Kevin), it was not a bad story. But it was very clear that it also could not stand alone as too many threads were left hanging (and hence why I bought the next one and started reading it already). For those Familiar with the Dune series, this is a prequel, and a pretty goo...

OK, I hate Hollywood starlets and star jerks like the rest of this nation!  But I am sorry.  When I was a young pup, horny as hell and randy, I went to the movies.  And fell in love with some eyes.  The shining glittering eyes of Karen Black. Never to be a major star, but just a bit player, her eyes got me.  And I was trapped!  Through B movie after B movie, I followed her.  Like a faithful puppy.  It was the eyes! She is fading now. But to me she wi...

So we went to see it today.  And it was FUN!  It is not going to win any awards, and for sure Tom Cruise is not going to get best actor.  But love him or hate him, he was good! The movie was fun, as it started out fast and never slowed down.  But, alas for me, I figured all out long before the end.  Yet I still loved it!  And knowing the end did not detract form it in the least (I whispered to my son a hint that showed I had figured it out - he cursed me afterwar...

At least it will be.  It seems the director of the Mission Impossible movies wants to do another Star Trek movie.  This one supposedly will be set during the Star Fleet days of Kirk and Spock. Since this will be a young Kirk and spock, none of our favorite actors and actresses will be able to reprise their roles, but that is ok.  I just hope they do better than the last series Enterprise. So I am ordering my tickets early and will be standing in line!  Of course I will ...

I heard the reviews, and they were pretty much dead on.  The movie is go from the get go.  It is not a story that goes from A to B to C, it is a story that hits you from -1 to B to D to F to P to Q to A then C. I took my son to it today.  My wife and I got off early to take him, and at first it was a hodge podge of disjointed Anectdotes.  Which quickly came together.  While I did not figure out the whole plot before the end scene, I had the major one sorted out (my so...

For a change, the Academy Awards were not another Political side show with actors and actress barely able to articulate their names without queue cards bashing everyone who did not believe that their every utterance was an epiphany.  Or so it seemed at the time. But there was another battle going on.  That of Brokeback Mountain.  And while some raved about it and said how ground breaking and deep it was, most people yawned and went about their lives.  And on Oscars night, ...

Ok, we know that Doc Miler is a Steelers' fan.  I still like him, even with that flaw.  Actually, I was rooting for the Steelers as well since my team was not in it.  But for many people the reason to watch the SuperBowl are the commercials.  At $5 million per minute, the advertisers want you to remember their commercials and products! So in case you had to take a potty break (I did during half time as that was a bore), and missed a few, follow the link and you should...

My Son and I just saw Hostel.  It was rated R.  It should have been NC17!  The only thing that may have (may have since the MPAA probably was to stupid to begin with) saved it from the higher rating was that it actually had a plot.  A stupid one, but it did have one. I have seen Texas Chain Saw Masacre, Wolf Creek, and so many slasher movies that I am immune to them.  Or so I thought.  No, this one is worse!  It has no redeeming qualities!  Pure sadism!...

Over the past couple of days, several bloggers here about have royally trashed Kenny G.  Almost to the point of hanging him in effigy. Am I weird?  I personally find his music very soothing and relaxing (I dont want to listen to it 24x7, but elected songs now and then sure are nice). Am I the only one that likes Kenny G?  And if you dont like him, what dont you like about him? Inquiring fans want to know!

Another Hollywood person died this weekend. But this one was special.  At least to me. Patricia Neal had a fine career.  Not one of headlines that we are constantly bombarded with as some of the "stars" today like to do.  But one of grace, beauty and competence that enriched our lives. She was one of the few stars that seemed to love her work for the work, and allowed us to escape on an occasional Saturday from the mundane to the world of make believe She won an Oscar for Hu...
