More then Meets the Eye!

Finally, the day I have been waiting for since August 8, 1986 - the release of new Transformers movie - has arrived!  Not since i came home with the betamax version of the 1986 classic and slid it into my parent's betamax player have i been so utterly stoked. 
 
All you loyal readers out there should see my office setup.  My office transformer digs:
  1. Optimus Prime Poster
  2. Megtron Poster
  3. BumbleBee wind-up transformer (which i let fly across my desk)
  4. BumbeBee cast iron mini replica (un-transformable :(

Sadly, before they announced the big movie, i donated all my old tubberware buckets of loose leaf robots to my sister's co-worker.  You've got to keep the circle of life going.  Better to give, eh?  

What I'm looking forward to the most: Seeing the movie with my Transformer-crazy niece, who can't wait to see the flick herself and called me yesterday from her mom's cell to talk about it.  She's a bit hard core - at age three her favorite movies were the Jurassic Park Series - she thought they were comedies.  I tell you she's got nerves of steel.

The hype: So far the hype has been pretty good - 4.7 out of 5 on Fandango - and "Go See It" status.  And my co-worker forwarded an email saying, and i quote, "Pee before you see... cuz you will not want to get up once the movie starts."  Sounds like they may have got this one right!

Veronica Mars! Over!?

So i just got a phone call from one of my fellow Veronica Mars comrades.  She was weeping in pain and tragedy.  Apparently they not only ended the Veronica Mars television series but ended it on a horrifically sad note.
 
All of you out there who value good television please, do you civic duty and click this link to see how you can SAVE Veronica:
 
 
Yeah, and she's hot too!

The Death of Penguins

Some of you may have heard of my utter disdain for the overly animated little bird known as the "penguin".  In fact, over last few years we have nothing but penguins plaguing the big screen.  Over and over, penguins at the zoo, penguins learning to dance, penguins wanting to surf!  argh!  It's enough to drive a well-mannered man insane. 
 
Or it just may make him want to go hunting. This one's for the work mates. Check out this Great Penguin Game!  My best score is 71!
 
It may just be about time to change my messenger graphic again.  I've included it below - ah, the wonders of photoshop.

What 24 Needs to Survive

My weekly blog about 24 has turned into a slowly dying resentment of the show.  You're probably asking "how could this die hard Jack Bauer fan loose so much hope?"  or "this is crazy, he loves 24 I don't believe it!" but sadly it is true.  I have lost hope.  This season has been just a poor excused re-airing of the last 5 seasons regurgitated as "all new". 
 
Yet instead of sulking, i will offer some changes that must happen if we hope to see 24 maintain some of it's former glory:
  1. Jack needs a protege.  Yes, we 20-something viewers need a young go-get'em Jack to relate too.  Plus, Jack is old enough that he needs a younger him to go on some of the dangerous field ops so he can have some more breakdowns.  They were on to something in season three with Chase.  
  2. Enough with the Nuclear Bombs. I think they've played out the whole "nuclear bomb" idea and the whole president waging war on another country.  Shows don't have to have "big consequences" to be taken seriously.
  3. Step away from the Presidency.  The writer's have definitely played out the presidency card.  They need to explore other politically charged positions like the DOD or the Supreme Court.
  4. Remember the Time Paradigm.  Episodes now begin a mini-mission and end it within an hour.  although this is pretty exciting and cleverly executed, the show has lost most of the 'real-time' draw where someone actually does something that takes a realistic amount of time (for example take a minute to get coffee or eat).
  5. Go global.  It's time the show took a plot beyond the US perspective and went oversea to look at the global impact of terror threats and their affects.  My suggestion would be to break up the season into 3 arcs that take place in three different global locations tied together.
