  • Will Real Levar Burton Please Stand Up

    I recently signed up for Twitter after hearing about it for a rather long time from all my techno geek friends. (You’ll see whataslacker’s Tweets over there on the bottom of the right-hand column there.) Basically it is micro blogging at its best. You type a 140-character post, or tweet, and it goes out to…

  • Counting Catwomen

    In the season opener of Big Bang Theory we find Sheldon staying over at Howard’s because he cannot keep a secret Penny told him from Leonard. Once settled in bed Sheldon begins to ramble about Catwoman due to the Halle Berry Poster over Howard’s bed. Here’s their conversation. After this I will give my list…

  • Blobfest Starts Today

    It is the 50th anniversary of the film THE BLOB. Filmed in Chester County way back in 1958 and starring Steve McQueen. Each year the Colonial Theater (this would be the theater in the famous scene where everyone is running out escaping the BLOB) has a BLOBfest to celebrate their fifteen minutes of fame and…

  • What the hell was People magazine thinking?

    People magazine has named Matt Damon the sexiest man alive. So who died and moved him up the evolutionary latter to get that honor? They really must be nuts. Either that or his publicist is sleeping with someone at the magazine. Has to be that because all the money in the world couldn’t make him…

  • Stan Lee Action Figure Update

    Hasbro has come through. Now all I have to do is head over to their site and actually place an order for my very own Stan [the man] Lee Action figure. He can also turn into Spider-man and save the day. 🙂

  • Pirates 3

    Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End. [At our usual time. The first showing of the day on Saturday morning. We will never see a film at night again the local audiences are too disrespectful of the other film patrons.] It was pretty good. The first two are better but this really ties…

  • Bionic Woman Returns to TV

    I absolutely loved The Bionic Woman in the seventies. When I heard that there was going to be a new series on NBC this Fall I got pretty excited. At first. Then I thought back to the Jamie Sommers I knew and loved. How can they remake her? [I know they have the technology they…

  • Poor Little Rich Girl

    Paris Hilton is finally getting what she deserves. Not that she thinks so. In fact she has tried everything she can [except bribe the judge] to get out of it. But why should she get out of it that easily? Any one of us normal folks would get a huge fine, longer jail time, no…

  • Will we see the rest of the season?

    I just heard that Lifetime has only picked up the first 13 episodes of Blood Ties. And if the ratings are good enough that maybe we will get to see the rest of the series.  I am just getting into this series [and getting used to actually watching something on Lifetime TV] and really would…
