What the McG is Happening to My Electronic Murderer?
It is my belief that there are two kinds of Terminator fans. There are the kind that enjoyed the first three films, and eagerly await the next episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there are those who love the first two, thought the third one was somewhere between bad and mildly decent, and are not very interested in either the Sarah Connor Chronicles or the upcoming Terminator: Salvation. If you fall into a different category, please correct me if I'm wrong.

25. September 2008
In watching these two videos, I find myself wondering what it would be like to be Mark Hammill and Kurt Russell at the time these were recorded. That's a world where no one had ever heard of Star Wars and Lucas was this guy that made a passable film about cruising around in the 50s.

22. September 2008
I like aliens. I've never met an alien I didn't like actually. Until I saw this guy. He qualifies for both an alien I don't like and the first alien I've ever met, so I guess I've totally struck out. Here's a guy who claims he is channeling aliens via an energy beam directly to his hairy, slightly repugnant sweaty chest. The very same chest he then makes an interviewer feel to confirm the alien-beam sweat.

31. July 2008
Wednesday, September 24th is the big day friends. Knight Rider returns to television at 8pm EST on NBC. On that day I'm dusting off my old leather jacket, getting out some red LCD lights for my Element and setting my GPS voice for Val Kilmer. My only hope is that they don't bring back the one element of the show from my childhood that I didn't like. . . K.A.T.T. Blech.

24. July 2008
There’s no way around it. I’m guilty. I’m guilty of doing a very bad thing. I don’t know if there’s a way I can be forgiven for the sin I have brought unto myself. I mean *how* HOW could I even consider myself to be a fan of Joss Whedon *and* be oblivious to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog? I could use the excuse that I don’t have iTunes, but really, is that a good enough excuse? No. No it is not. For those of you who have been like me, living in a cave- I give you 'A brand new day, last song act 2'. It should be coming out on DVD, but in the meantime you can catch pieces of it on Youtube (thanks Cavtroop for showing me the error of my ways and pointing me in the right direction. One day, year, decade; I hope to be on good side of the Whedonverse again).

23. July 2008
It's no secret that I'm fan of Joss Whedon. I even have a little Whedon-erse shrine in the corner of my living room that's dedicated to the EVIL GENIUS mind behind BTVS, Angel and Firefly. Others might know other work he's had a hand in: Titan AE, Alien Resurrection, Toy Story, and a few episodes of Roseanne.
