I can't wait to see Land of the List.I hear the movie version is true to the spirit of the TV show. Chakka's ToDo list battles with the Sleestak inventory list while the T. Rex prepares to go shopping. No sign of Rick Marshall, Will, or Holly, but they are probably in the cave preparing their Christmas card mailing list.

Ok, so my buddy Eden gave my blog a shout-out, so I guess I'd better go update it quick.Good thing I went to see a movie this weekend. (I really did, too.)Of course I went to see G-Wall-E, that adorable little robot movie that warns us all about what life will be like if we continue to try to retro back to the "Leave it To Beaver" 50's fantasy life style. In it, human kind is waited on hand and

New Video!As old TV shows return to DVD, I went and got me that classic horror series, Adama's Family. You know the show--Starbuck, Uncle Fester, Cousin Boxy, and It were all favorites of mine. And the Cylons, of course, who so charmingly tried to kill the undead as they traveled from town to town trying to find Middle Earth.By the way, if anyone is reading this, I'm participating in a

Everyone is talking about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and being extremely careful to mark spoilers and all. But no one is talking about the spoilerish nature of the title itself. It's pretty clear to me that Harry, Ron, and Hermione all kill themselves when they fall off of their horses in a fox hunt. This leaves you-know-who to take over Hogwarts, where Defense Against the Dark Arts

I was bored at work, so I snuck out to the theater next door to catch Tom Cruise playing in "Mission Accomplished: III" My favorite bit was when the mission tape exploded, taking out Tom Cruise. Too bad that was at the end of the movie instead of at the beginning... but hey, better late that never. I also regret that it didn't take out the celluloid as well. I guess I have to give the movie one

Just saw Robin Williams in AV.What a retro-revalation! Took me right back to elementary school. Robin Williams is totally typecast as the AV guy for a struggling school. When he cannot get the film-strip in synch with the story tape, he has the world's funniest nervous breakdown. Ok, so the getting tangled in the film after bungling the film-projector loading is old hat, but Williams pulls it off

Well, it's been a while since I've been to the movies. The cost of popcorn is totally prohibitive these days (must be all the crude oil they pass off as butter sending the price through the roof) so I've been staying home. But I did venture out to see a movie this week.Chickenhawk Little is a parable of our times. As the movie opens, Chickenhawk causes widespread panic and World War III (cool 3-d

I'm at my dad's getting rid of 20 years worth of my accumulated junk. For someone with strong packrat tendencies, this is tough going. So I'm going to note some of the more interesting/revealing things I find as I go through my old desk. (Just so Blue Guy can make fun of me.)1. A little Hallmark date book from 1976.

Ok, I confess. I stood in line at midnight to go see Star Whores Revenge of the Stiffs. Wow, talk about the Dark Side-- a bunch of dead Jedi are prevented from using the Force by a bunch of live Sith Lords, including the evil whiney-boy Annikin Skywalker turned Darth eVader. Some people seem to think it's a political commentary about our times. Me, I think it's a cautionary tale against Viagra

"I sense that your caller is... very... upset with you." A new program analyzes your voicemessage and texts the receipient with the state of your emotions. As always, my emotions are mixed.

At the movies.... Got a sneak preview of that new movie, "Sky Captain and the World of Tenille." What the heck, if ABBA, Queen, and Elvis get musicals based on their music, why not the dynamic duo that brought us "Muskrat Love"? Although I think I could live without the image of muskrats loving in zero-g, most of this movie was a wonderful cross of 40's comics and 70's sappy love songs. When

Who's next? Several years ago, I started a story where everyone had one of these microchips. In the story, the events that lead to the widespread use of these chips was all an alien plot of some sort to help us destroy ourselves out of fear. I never finished it.

Ok, so sue me, I have one of those life things. A friend (you know who you are-- are you actually reading this??) wanted me to muse more about my reading addiction. Sorry, I'm too busy reading to do it.

Rumor has it the next Harry Potter movie has changed its title to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Gutanamo," and will star a certain recently deposed dictator as the new Professor Dumbledore.
