Next time we'll choose our President with a reality TV show...
Has Hillary Clinton conceded yet? No? Meh.
The villain in "Ironman" WAS pretty obvious...
Why do people feel the need to talk during an entire film? Is it impossible for some people to be silent for two hours? Why don't they just text each other, in that case?

I wouldn't try to drink this guy's milkshake...
Dexter primer: Dexter is a serial killer, but he only kills bad people, other murderers, etc., so he's cool.
Starbuck, meet Hurley
Lost primer, for those who do not watch "Lost": Why don't you watch "Lost"?! It's so great!
Ocean Flight 815 crashed, or more accurately, broke apart over a mysterious island. Forty or so passengers survived, including Hurley (aka, Hugo) above. The Losties were just trying to figure out how to get rescued when they were attacked by the Others. The Others are either the original inhabitants of the island, or what's left of the Dharma Initiative, or both, or neither. They're mysterious. They are led by Benjamin Linus, a real nut job, but a very compelling character with secrets, unknown motives, and so on. It has taken the Losties four seasons to try and figure out what's going on, but each time they get closer, there's another twist. Like the castaways on "Gilligan's Island," they may never get off this crazy place or out of this other dimension.

News of the Wired...
This is totally true: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article3802051.ece
Also, my mom did say it was a nice idea -- theorhetically, of course. I'm sure Al Queda will be there opening day...

MONSTERS OF FILM CRITICISM!!!!!
I meant this as a tribute to Roger Ebert. How I miss him! No offense to Tom Shales. Also a tribute to the Sleestak who made "Land of the Lost" so weird and trippy!
Who will save us from the Cylons? Who, indeed?!
Battlestar Galactica primer:
Okay, there are 12 different colonies of humans on 12 planets. The colonists worship the Lords of Kobol. They created the Cylons to do inconvenient chores, like mining and such. The Cylons rebelled. ("They made us work for too long, for unreasonable hours!") There was a long war and then a truce was called so the Cylons could gather their resources to really exterminate the humans. They developed Cylons that look like humans, called "skinjobs," to infiltrate the colonial defenses. One, (or I should say Six) became the lover of Dr. Gaius Baltar and got access to security defense codes. The Cylons launched nuclear warheads at all Colonial cities, wiping out all but a ragtag group of refugees who managed to escape and join one of the Battlestars that was left, the Galactica. Commander Adama and President Laura Roslin are the leaders and they decide to look for a mythical 13 colony that went to Earth. The Cylons have a plan. We don't know what it is, yet, but they are also looking for Earth. It can't be good.
Gaius Baltar is completely vain and self-absorbed and he has been, by turns, a Cylon detector, vice president, president, and now, religious mystic. Ever since the destruction of Caprica, he has had visions/hallucinations of Six, who helps him weasel his way into positions of power and influence, though he is generally despised by the rest of the cast. Quizzically, he is the only human left who speaks with a British accent (I think). He is awesome.
Starbuck, Kara Thrace, is the hotshot pilot who fights and fraks with equal gusto. She has complicated relationships with everyone. As the series progresses, she learns she is the chosen one to find Earth, so she is obsessed with that.
The color picker is a bit tricky...

Who? What?
Doctor Who primer:
The Doctor is a Time Lord who travels the universe saving human from alien invasion, which happens a lot. He travels with a female companion who, by turns, helps him and gets in need of rescuing by him. His first-season companion, Rose, will star in "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" on Showtime this summer. This series is probably based on the revolutionary blog "Belle de Jour" in which a lady of the evening described her life of sex for money as well as her confusing love life with various BFs. Should be juicy!
Oh, the Doctor is English and works in England a lot, so that's why the funny British words...
My tentative beginnings...
This cartoon was based on a conversation I had with KenZ the night before...
