Lost - The Constant

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

If you have read my thoughts on Lost in the past then you know that my favorite episode of Season 3 was the Desmond-centric Flashes Before Your Eyes. So far in the young Season 4 the also Desmond-centric The Constant is the best offering of the year.
Sayid has long been my favorite character. A man [...]

Lost - Eggtown

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Do you ever get that feeling that you’re the smartest person in the room, only to look around and realize that you’re the only person in the room? Happened to me tonight during tonight’s episode of Lost.
The episode as a whole continued on the same path that has been set in Season 4. There is [...]

Double Standard?

Monday, February 18th, 2008

This past Friday night Charles Barkley appeared on CNN and was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. Barkley spoke his mind and maybe caused an uproar from the Conservative right-wing Christians.

The Economist

I have put off writing anything about last night’s episode because frankly I myself am starting to get a little lost.

Great Live Performance

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Last night, the 2008 Grammy Awards were handed out. The awards provided no real surprises, but the show did gives us a couple of great performances.

The Ultimate Idiot

Monday, February 11th, 2008

I love it when people who were never really very famous in the past, try as hard as they can to get people to notice them one last time. Former wrestle Ultimate Warrior is the lastest never-was trying to get just 15 more minutes.

Confirmed Dead

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Near the end of last season it seemed that we might be getting close to some answers in the world of Lost. It was confirmed that Jack and Claire were siblings. We know how and why Locke ended up in the wheel chair. We met the real Sawyer and watched him die. Just as it appeared [...]

The Beginning of the End

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Wow! Season 4 is here and it started with a bang. The usual formula of Jack-centric flashbacks were replaced with the surprising twist of Hurley flashforwards. While the on island stuff picked up exactly where we left off, the off island story was really a kick to the head.

Heath’s Drug Party

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

A two year old video of Heath Ledger at a Hollywood party, in which drugs were being used, has emerged. Entertainment Tonight and The Insider won’t show you the video, so here it is for you to see.

Catching Up Part 2

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

One more note for those looking forward to the Lost Season 4 premier tomorrow. Tonight ABC will be reairing an enhanced version of the Season 3 finale, Through the Looking Glass.

Catching Up

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Well, this is the week I’ve been waiting for. Thursday is the premier of the fourth season of Lost. After months of pondering the mindfuck that was the Season 3 finale we are finally in store for more mindfucking, at least I hope so.

The Best Of Black Entertainment

Monday, January 21st, 2008

In honor of Martin Luther King day, I thought I would take a look at some of the best moments in the history of black entertainment.

Idols And Freaks

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

American Idol is back and so are the freaks. It’s only been two episodes and we have already gotten a birdman and stalker to go along with the usual freaks.

Renegade Television

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

One of the most perfect things ever broadcast over the waves of television was the first season of Wonder Showzen by the art/media collective known as PFFR. It didn’t last long thanks to the non-stop references to abortion, Hitler, and puppet sex.
The creators of Wonder Showzen have returned after a hiatus - presumably on the [...]

Good Fucking Morning America

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

This morning on Good Morning America, Diane Keaton dropped the f-bomb on Diane Sawyer.

60 Minutes To Long

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Why is Andy Rooney still alive? He’s like a cockroach, he’ll never go away.

The Writerless Rant

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I really love Bill Maher and his Real Time show. It seems to be one of the last havens of smart, witty, nail-on-the-head discussion on television. In fact, I think a show teaming Maher and Jon Stewart would be a liberal powerhouse unlike any other; they should run for President and Vice President.
Maher has a potent mix of [...]

Hear ‘N Theremin

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Certain sounds remind us of particular movies or time periods. We only need to hear the first explosive blast of horns to recognize the Star Wars fanfare, and the tinny sound of Moog synthesizers whisk us back to the buddy comedies of the mid-eighties.
Few instruments represent their time period better than the theremin, a mystical [...]

Are You Experienced?

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

During the second half of season 2, Lost kicked off a revolutionary new way of keeping up with the show over the summer hiatus and lead us right into the next season. It was called the Lost Experience and gave those that wanted it a bit more insight into the mythology of the show. That concept has [...]

Too Good For Their Own Good

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

My review of Juno and the mention of Jason Bateman and Arrested Development got me to thinking about television shows that that were cut short by networks unwilling to give quality a chance.
