Don’t worry… this post contains no spoilers. I couldn’t spoil you if I wanted to.
The series finale of ABC’s Lost airs on Sunday evening and so (hopefully) does my confusion. I consider myself a Lost fan for sure, but I’m not a Lost geek. The distinction is minor, but one that’s important to make between fans. As an example, I have no problem sitting in a bar talking theories with my buddy Pat about who did what or what’s going to happen and I do listen to the Official Lost Podcast as well as The Lost Podcast With Jay… Continue reading
Tonight is the season finale of V on ABC and I’m thrilled to say that it’s just the season finale and not the SERIES finale. There was a time there where I was very worried that V would not be picked up for another season based on how it was doing in the ratings. Now that it has been picked up, the writers better make some serious changes if they want to get to a third season. Here are some suggestions from someone who was a HUGE fan of the original as well as this new incarnation.
- Show the damn… Continue reading
It seems like forever and a day but tomorrow night Lost on ABC will finally return for it’s final season. I’ve written in previous posts how I wondered if ABC had made a mistake by keeping Lost (and another show V) off the air for so long. Well I can’t speak for everyone but I can tell you that for ME it wasn’t too long cause I’m pumped as hell about the season premiere tomorrow night!
While I have listened to some podcasts during the break I’ve tried to stay away from plot predictions and spoilers for the last… Continue reading
This post contains no spoilers whatsoever on the upcoming season…
I (like countless others out there) am a HUGE fan of the ABC show Lost. There are certainly others out there who are more fanatical than I am. For example I’ll listen to a couple of podcasts about the show but I’m not one to re-watch an episode looking for stuff I’ve missed. If I missed it, I missed it. Part of the reason I love it so much is that it’s one of only a few shows that both the wife and I enjoy. That said I’m thinking… Continue reading
These days you can’t turn around without seeing a reboot, remake or retelling of some story from your childhood. Hollywood has been on this kick for quite some time now so it was only a matter of time before remakes came to network television. ABC is throwing its hat in the ring with a “re-imagining” of the 80′s classic V.
I’ve heard about this for quite a while now and to be honest with you I can’t believe I’m as behind as I am on following this story (Thanks Jason!) The series is going to premiere on ABC… Continue reading
Before I start this review I wanted to give you my Joe credentials. While I’m not old enough to have had the 12 inch figures I was fanatical when it came to the Hasbro figures and the original Marvel comic books. I watched the cartoons religiously and remember like it was yesterday when I saw the animated movie for the first time – Cobra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!!! With that out of the way, on to the review.
This will contain spoilers – if you want to know nothing about the movie before you see it skip this post and come back after you’ve… Continue reading
This is the 4th entry in the Fast And The Furious movie franchise. For those of you not familiar with the series I’ll give you a brief recap of pretty much all the movies:
- Fast cars
- Beautiful women
- The “bad guys” are actually the “good guys”
- Fast cars
- A little plot
- Fast cars
- More women
- Fast cars
That’s pretty much it. If you’re looking for really deep movies here you’re not going to get them. If you’re looking for some bad ass action sequences that will put on you the edge of your seat then you’re in the right place.… Continue reading
We’re learning all the time right? This weekend was no different. Here’s just a small sampling of stuff that I either determined as truths for the first time or reaffirmed based on very specific examples…
- When you have no “plans” for the weekend you’ll look back on Monday morning and realize just how tiring doing “nothing” really is.
- A child that takes a nap every day during the week will NOT take a nap on the weekend… especially when you REALLY want him to take a nap.
- The same child that is not napping and is really pissing you off… Continue reading
Now before you get all on my case about this movie review being 5 years too late let me give you a bit of background… I don’t watch nearly as many movies as I used to. At least I don’t watch them right when they come out. The wife and I haven’t seen a movie in the last 15 years that we both like so it’s very rare that we rent anything. My kids are 2.5 and 9 months and I refuse to write movie reviews for The Wiggles and Dora the Explorer so I’m unfortunately way backed up on… Continue reading
Time Warner FAIL
Last night was the series finale of Lost on ABC. We pulled together an impromptu viewing party (OK, so it was the in-laws, the wife and I, but that’s still a gathering dammit) and settled in to watch one of the most beautiful shows on TV come to an end. That is until Time Warner Cable got involved. The high definition feed was so bad that we eventually had to switch over to the regular feed. That was OK as we were able to watch the story unfold, but let’s be honest. Part of what makes Lost so visually stunning… Continue reading →
