They're Still Making Harry Potter Movies!


Lochaber News is reporting on the filming of the 6th Harry Potter Movie. This info is strictly for you readers because after the 7th book failed to reveal Barty Crouch Junior as the savior of both the Muggle and Wizard races I totally checked out of the Potter Universe. Anyways here is the link, get the tissue or whatever you need:

Harry Potter Set Report!

Facebook Vs Myspace: Stalker Edition

A great woman once said “Friendship is more lasting than a relationship and more legal than stalking” And as we begin to enter the holiday season it is best to remember the ones who have removed us from their lives and find ways to claw our way back in. We’ve got two options:

Facebook & Myspace

Each has their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to creatively following the daily lives of our lost loves. Which one though is better? I’ve known of people, who are most certainly not me, who have had success with each. It all comes down to options. Facebook’s main draw is the ability to track your “friend” using their feed. This is most effective though if they actually are your friend. Plus if you’re not in their same network, good luck getting any information. Myspace on the other hand will generally allow you access to everyone’s profile. Plus, and this one’s a biggie, when you send someone on Myspace a message, you know if they’ve read it or not! They can’t ignore you forever if you keep sending messages. Plus it must mean they still care for you, otherwise they’d just delete it. Though this backfires when you send them a friend request and they decline. That is a pain like no other.
I couldn’t possibly come to a definitive conclusion. Perhaps you can. Send me your stories and I’ll follow up, because sometimes we all go to the dark side of technology.

Why We Love Kristen Bell Summed Up in a Video

Smash Bros. DELAYED

Anxious to spend Christmas morning beating the snot out of your favorite Nintendo characters? Itching to have Solid Snake open a cardboard box of whoop-ass on Sonic (the little bitch deserves it!)? Well To frackin' bad! Nintendo has delayed the Release of Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii from early December to February 10th of 2008. Cause for the delay? Nintendo isn't saying, but this is nothing new. Twilight Princess experienced such a long delay it eventually switched consoles. At least we still have Mario Galaxy to look forward to on Nintendo's little money maker. Not cool Nintendo, not cool.

Heroes Love Videogames

If this means less repeates of Code Monkeys, I'm a happy camper. TV Guide is reporting that cable channel G4 has obtained rights to air Heroes repeates on their station beginning later this month. G4 will aslo produce a live 30 minute show to air after the saturday night rebroadcast. One can only hope the show is hosted by Morgan Webb and NOT Kevin Pereira. G4 will also have exclusive rights to stream episodes from their website g4tv.com. You've gotta love it when G4 is given a bit of good fortune, those kids try really hard!

Where Have I Seen Him Before...





So as I was watching Pusing Daisies last night I couldn't help my notice that I knew the Crash Dummy Killer guy from somewhere. In my head I knew the last time I had seen him he had a goatee. Well that just bugged the shit out of me til about 3 minutes ago when I learned he played Professor Landry on Veronica Mars. Duh! In case you wanted to know, the actor's name is Patrick Fabian and I've included a pic of him. Case closed.... til next time

Seth Green Visiting Seattle Grace


According to the Hollywood Reporter Robot Chicken Creator Seth Green will guest-starring in two episodes of Grey's Anatomy this season. He will reportedly be playing a patient so all you Gizzie or Merederek fans don't have to worry about a crazy love triangle forming...though one between him, Callie and Bailey would be strangely watchable....hmmm

Episode Review: Bionic Woman


"Sisterhood"

What I Liked:

-Katee Sackhoff's Sarah Corvis, especially her line about not being able to be dramatic.

-Jamie kicking some ass

-Hints that Jamie might not make it past 25

-The Canadian girl's therapy session

-Hacking yourself!


What I Didn't Like:

-Jamie and her sister need to not dance together

-Jamie sure does like to complain about being bionic

-Whoever is playing Will's Dad needs some serious acting lessons


Random Thought:

I wonder if Isaiah Washington ever wnet after TR Knight with a crowbar....


Overall:

This show is really growing on me. I orignally had no intention of watching it and now I end up watching while DVR'ing Private Practice so I'm along for the ride. Hopefully Jamie will be going on more missions that allow a bit more freedom to kick ass, and the whole one non-bionic arm thing is really driving me insane.

Possible Content Ideas?

I know I get like 15 actualy visitors a day to my blog, and most of you come form the states or the UK, so I'm wondering what you want to see on the site. Should I keep including links to news stories? Should I focus more on one aspect of popular culture? Should I make it all original content?

Any suggestions would be helpful, I'm writing this blog for others to read so I need your input!

Thanks!



Mobuzz.tv

I'm going to start including the daily tech news from mobuzz in my blog, mostly because I enjoy watching it on my iPod while taking the train to work each morning. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as well!
