Veronica Mars was created specifically for me. Seriously, let’s look at the facts; I love noir stories. She might not have worn a trench coat, but Ms. Mars was fully entrenched in the noir sensibilities. I went to high school. Veronica Mars was set in High School.(At least for its first two seasons) I find [...]
Wrestling Fast Forward
From all reports Summerslam ended up being a pretty good show, with most of the expected matches delivering. This is the first RAW after, so I expect lots of fallout from last night’s PPV. I’m curious of whether they are going to continue Batista and Cena’s feud or instead decide to store it away until [...]
Buy Something….Before the New Season Starts
New on DVD this week are two shows that you’ll want to either netflix out or purchase. First Up is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. If you, like me, gave Terminator an episodic try before bailing then you already think this DVD set is a waste of time. However the fanatical fanbase compels you to [...]
A Look Back: Samurai Jack
With Star Wars: Clone Wars being released in theaters today, it made me think of the great television series bearing the same name from a few years back. Directed and produced largely by famed animator Genndy Tartakovsky, the television show has often been held in great regards. Some consider it to be as good, or [...]
[Geek On] Five Shows I’m Not Watching(That I Probably Should)
I know, shocking right? I write for a tv blog! I have a column that has geek on the title. And yet, here I am, admitting to the world(or at least the readers that we have) that there are some very popular shows that I have never been able to get into. Below the cut, [...]
Quick Hits: What the Hell Sci-Fi Channel?
You ever heard of the show Charlie Jade? You probably haven’t, and that’s a damn shame because it’s actually a pretty damn cool show . Set in the near future(‘one half hour from now to be in fact), Charlie Jade deftly mixes film noir with a dystopian future storyline. Okay, so that sounds just like [...]
Quick Hits: Heroes News and Alternative Ending
While the second season of Heroes won’t be out on DVD in the states until later this month, it’s already out across the pond. And as tends to happen, that means there is a variety of deleted and alternated scenes popping up in youtube for your perusal pleasure. Most interesting of them all is probably the [...]
Wrestling Fast Forward
Summerslam is one week away, and so far the WWE has managed to do a pretty good job of building up to it. Even though I’m still not a fan of giving Cena/Batista this early, their storyline has been interesting, with them winning the Tag Titles last week. Let’s see what happens tonight, with only [...]
15 Bernie Mac Roles to Remember from EW
Entertainment Weekly (the best magazine in the whole wide world despite their recent dialogue list which slightly annoyed me) has put together a list of 15 Bernie Mac Roles to Remember. The list does Bernie Mac justice for all the great roles he’s given us. It’s a shame they couldn’t list his role in the [...]
Quick Hits:More info on Sons of Anarchy
Just last week I wrote a quick column about my somewhat annoyance at the ads for the new FX show Sons of Anarchy, and how the current promos weren’t doing much to tell me what the main premise of the show was. It looks like my post got some attention, and because of it we [...]
