From the New York Times (soul stealing registration required, or use BugMeNot.com): Shot on budgets ranging from $1 million to $2 million, Sci Fi’s movies are made in money-saving locales like Bulgaria, Romania and Missouri. It’s nice to know Missouri is in the same league as Bulgaria and Romania. 🙂

Doctor Blue Box
Doctor Who? – … do you know this man? Contact Clive here. I’m curious as to whether there will be a spike in the number of people searching for Doctor Blue Box because of the new Doctor Who. Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurantist drivel; Star Trek can turn your brains to … Continue reading “Doctor Blue Box”
There’s something fundamentally wrong with the universe…
Considering that the original Battlestar Galactica‘s awfulness was only exceeded by, ahem, Galactica 1980, I’m surprised the new Battlestar Galactica is actually pretty good. I have some minor nits to pick (for example, water is not exactly rare in the universe), but, unlike recent incarnations of Star Trek, I have yet to be disappointed. Who … Continue reading “There’s something fundamentally wrong with the universe…”
Rachael Ray Sex Video
Check out: Rachael Ray Drinking Game Let’s see just how popular a certain somewhat annoying Food Network personality actually is. We all know as soon as someone attains celebrity status, people start looking for nude pictures or naughty videos featuring that person. As far as I know, no such pictures or videos featuring Rachael Ray … Continue reading “Rachael Ray Sex Video”
G4 drops TechTV Name
Looks like the ass clowns running G4TechTV G4tv have dropped all pretense of being a technology channel: Charles Hirschhorn, Founder and CEO of the network, announced the channel’s official name as G4 – video game television – earlier today at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour. The name change and new network look and … Continue reading “G4 drops TechTV Name”

The Screen Savers
Out of morbid curiosity, I endured the premiere episode of the new incarnation of The Screen Savers. Here’s my review (I’m stealing a bit from a classic Bloom County strip): G4TechTV’s recently retooled The Screen Savers has brought the word “bad” to new levels of badness. This show just oozed rottenness from every bad segment… … Continue reading “The Screen Savers”

Super Bowl Halftime Show
As usual, the Super Bowl halftime show was absolutely dreadful. In my opinion, more nudity would have been an improvement.
Just when I started thinking Saint Louis was a good place to live…
Something like this has to happen: Station to Rerun ‘Average Joe’ Segment ST. LOUIS (AP) – After Missouri’s own Dick Gephardt finished fourth in the Iowa caucuses, the local NBC affiliate cut away from network programming to broadcast his speech. That didn’t sit so well with the Average Joe. Viewers jammed KSDK-TV’s switchboard and Web … Continue reading “Just when I started thinking Saint Louis was a good place to live…”
