The two biggest celeb news stories in my neck of the woods this weekend were the supposed Meg White sex tape (I don’t think it’s her) and George Clooney’s motorcycle accident. Clooney, who already has a bad back from an injury during the filming of Syriana, suffered a broken rib in the smash up. He’s … Continue reading
A new film being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney gives me deja vu not once, but twice. The film is called G-Force, which brings to mind Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets, which is being developed into a CGI film all its own. But more than that, the film is about a group of genetically enhanced … Continue reading
Sometimes television can be a wonderful thing. Banished to oblivion [or The Valley, depending on which is considered worse], Jason Bateman has come back and come back HARD after taking the lovely Arrested Development and springboarding the leading role of the show into first a series of fun cameos and now to a comfortable spot … Continue reading

Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, or maybe it’s because I’m a big nerd, but after a couple of hours at my friend’s house drinking whiskey last night, I began petitioning to download classic Star Trek episodes from XBox Live. My friend has an HDTV that he’s never used for HD, and my other friend … Continue reading
Flying coach from Los Angeles to Europe is sure to bring out your most primitive instincts. Jammed into the back of a giant airplane with only a few square inches to yourself for almost eleven hours, you become completely aware of every molecule that is in your personal space. Your senses become heightened to the … Continue reading
It seems like I brought some of Ireland home with me. 24 hours after landing at LAX, it’s raining like crazy here in Los Angeles, which is making the transition from a nice, damp climate to an arid desert easier to make.
