Believe me, I wish I wrote more too. And I will again. Just a matter of fitting it back into my schedule. It’ll happen.

I mean I wish you were writing more NOW, not that you wrote more about BSG.

I discovered your site looking for reviews of BSG, which I’m just watching now on Netflix for the first time. I wish you wrote more… your reviews of BSG are totally professional and amazingly well-written. Thank you! It’s fun to be able to read someone else’s take on the episodes.

Shatner does his duty. He makes an appearance as the trusted persona he has been portraying for years. Would that we all could learn from his lesson.

Farewell, dear negotiator!

Comment on ‘Transformers 2′: Less than meets the eye. Much less. by Latex Zebra

Loved the original (OK Loved is maybe pushing it) and it remains a guilty pleasure. I recorded 2 off the TV in October and still haven’t watched it.
A Sci Fi geek (like I’m not) mate at work has advised me not to ruin my enjoyment of the first movie and to convince myself that only one Transformer movie exists.
I assume 3 must be pretty crap as well.

One of my favourite disaster movies ever.
I watch this all the time now, fast forwarding through the nonsense and just watching the World get blowed up real good… Sorry Jammer.

Can watch the whole thing in an hour. ;o)

Comment on Louis C.K.: Independent comedian, auteur by Patrick

However, I don’t want to sound like I’m slagging Louis C.K. I think he created one of the greatest balls-to-the-wall absurdist comedies of the last decade–”Pootie Tang”. It’s a guilty pleasure, but it’s like an urban Monty Python movie.

“See, my damie, Pootie Tang don’t wa-da-tah to the shama cow… ’cause thats a cama cama leepa-chaiii, dig? “

Comment on Law & Order: SVU review: ‘Shattered’ by kringey

OK Now I have seen “Shattered” some time ago, it was atrocious. However, I am really enjoying the new season even without Stabler or Huang.

Comment on I would never say this in mixed company by Benjamin

I was watching the great De Niro/Pesci movie Casino on TBS the other day (which I believe holds the record for most ‘fucks’ in a movie), and they actually censored Pesci calling De Niro a ‘Jew motherfucker’ to a ‘Jew money-lover.’ I’m not Jewish, and I’m never offended by profanity, but this struck me as absolutely absurd. You’re censoring a common curse word for a bigoted statement? Really?

Anyway, a few years back at 1am or something, Comedy Central aired the entire South Park movie unedited, complete with the Uncle Fucker song. So obviously they *can* say curse words, they just choose not to.

Louie’s definitely at the top for me, not just because he’s ambitious, but also because he’s socially relevant and self aware (the two most important things about any stand up), so he doesn’t try to align himself with lame partisan politics or whatever some hackier comedians do. I think that’s why Louis has been the favorite of so many people. The worst thing any comedian can do is try to be politically aligned.

Ideally this business model that he’s testing (which has been a huge success for him) could work for a lot of other comics. Maybe sort of like how Steam is changing video game distribution, perhaps comics can more easily release a stand up special by controlling the distribution and pricing themselves, or through some company that will let them keep a nice big slice.

Comment on Making a cameo in my own production by James

The first time I visited your web-site was December 1996 – I visited weekly during Deep Space Nine’s original run. This is the first time I have been here in more than a decade. As I recall, you were a university student at the time – and now you are a big-shot with a wife and a job. No easy feat in this day and age. Well Done.

Have you ever considered writing an article on how you feel the Treks have aged over the years. I would be interested in your perspective on that.

It was indeed Mark Harmon who said “shit” in a season 6 episode of Chicago Hope, back in 1999. 2 and a half years later, it was Anthony Edwards on ER, while dying of a brain tumor.

I remember seeing Jurassic Park on TNT a few years back. Ian Malcolm used to describe the dinosaur poop as a “big pile of shit”. TNT altered it to a “big pile of crap” (and I’m pretty sure it was still Jeff Goldblum’s voice; meaning they recorded two versions on ADR!).

I keep asking myself: what’s the point?

Bleeps can be funny when used on comedy, but otherwise feel pretty pointless. People can and should get over it. We’re in 2012, not 1952.

The networks could follow his example giving all their series as downloads for a price (and internationally not only to the states). They would gain audience and they would make money and, perhaps, this way they would give a chance to many series which face the threat of cancellation to survive.

Louis C.K. is ok. But Patton Oswalt is light years ahead of him in the world of stand-up comedy. In fact, I’d be so bold as to call Oswalt the rightful successor to the late, great Bill Hicks in terms of literate, topical stand-up. J, check YouTube and look up the Bush and Cheney as The Dukes of Hazzard bit–hysterical!

Comment on This just in: Cigarettes deadly; cigarette warnings hilarious by nick

I found the ads hilarious as well and it’s gotten to the point where even though I hate cigarette smoke (yuck!) the government is going way overboard in all their efforts to “protect” us. Also, wow on the other warnings posted!

Yes. I actually have a new blog post in the works that should be up this week. Unfortunately, I’ve been neglecting this site the past few months.

Comparing Apple’s control of their own software to Nazism is probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever written on the Internet. What were you thinking??

A 909, to me, will always be a rather awesome Drum Machine.
