Wow. I didn't think I'd ever actually taste disappointment. Boy was I wrong. Tonight, we say goodbye to my favourite competitor in Survivor: All Stars, Lex Van Der Berghe. Throughout the entire show, I had high hopes that he would stay but after the immunity challenge I finally accepted the fact that whenever I want someone to win, they never do. I had hopes Ethan would stick around because maybe they'd throw him a soccer ball......AXED! Then I was hoping that Jerri and Lex would go far ...

It's That Time Again! On a weird note: Why did this article make me want to post this ?

Every since I posted the infamous Al Pacino-Shannon Elizabeth seperation question, I've found myself with a state of "Connector's Block." Normally, this one gives me trouble but I seem to get through it in about 5 or 10 minutes. Last night, however, after 20 minutes of pondering I was left with nothing more than an incomplete Jim Carrey-Eugene Levy link. I had a feeling that Catherine Keener was the key to the link, but I still didn't have all the steps. Tonight, my heachache came to a bri...

Mr. Pignon. Mr. Pignon!!! AH HA! AH HA! Now that that's out of the way, (cue the Jo Schmo Tape) I have been recently informed that Fuckin Nick Cage, The Family Man himself, is set to play Ghost Rider. (PLAY) What is going on? I also have found out that there will be a sequel to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, simpled titled LXG2. L et's e X aggerate for G iggles 2. There will also be "Jurassic Park IV: The Lost Audience." I hear the title is still being reworked. I do want to ...

After posting a comment on the post "Forgot to sign out," which was actually made by Urban Faery (for those of you who didn't quite grasp the title), I've decided to let Joeuser in on a little secret. If you don't quite understand what I say sometimes, don't worry! My best friend of 13 years still doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about at times, and even Urban is sometime lost in some of my back alley references. I love to play the game Six Degrees before I go to bed, but I normally en...

The ruling force of my television continues to be "Match Game" on Game Show Network. Apparently they show all 3 versions of the show, but I really like to watch Match Game P.M. The 90's one sucks because it doesn't have any of the elements that made the originals so great. When you've got Brett Somers, Richard Dawson and the amazing Charles Nelson Reilly, the responses to the simple fill-in-the-blank questions are still funny, decades later. The show is about having the cont...

For 4 months, our special cable was shut off. We never really paid for it. Rogers just let us preview it for a few months, and we decided that all those extra channels just weren't the fees. The only things that I found appealing, were the Game Show Network, and TechTV, which has Electric Playground, (The only show I would wake up to watch on a Sunday) and X-Play (It's funny, and it makes you think...........well, not really but Morgan's hot.). I used to love watching old episodes of Camp Car...

Well If I'm diligent about this, it might actually turn into something worthwhile, but most likely, I'll forget about it. This weeks recommended viewing comes from the director behind Memento, which he wrote, and Insomnia, which I both own. The film is called "The Following." Christopher Nolan's first feature film is about a writer, who follows people on the street with hopes that he will find inspiration in their daily activiities. One man, confronts him about his "hobby" an...

Are you a psychopath who occasionally watches movies? Do you feel like your life doesn't have enough mindless information? Well, look no further because I, Film Fanatic, have found a way to waste your time, and create a special bond with that very special movie. As I was strolling through the databanks of information at Internet Movie Database, I came across their movie listings arranged by year. I thought nothing of this, but decided to check out what movies came out in my year of b...

Last night at work, Bobbe had eTalk daily on the TV. I kept passing by from time to time, waiting for jeopardy to come on, so I could take a break. At one point, Johnny Depp came on and was talking about how shocked he was with the success of POTC, and how he was amazed that everyone liked Jack Sparrow so much. Right after, eTalk said "What are Johnny's thoughts about portraying the king of candy?" I froze. How could anyone try to outdo Gene Wilder? He was the master of chocolatey mayhem. Depp...

Well that was fucking pathetic. When Conan was asked about the material he would be doing, he stated that he would just be doing the show up here. I'm sorry but I didn't notice any of this pandering last week. It's great that you're in Toronto, and I'm a big fan of the show, but this is no good. We payed you the big bucks, to come here, promote Toronto, and bring some laughter to the city. We didn't ask you to force-feed us mindless Canadian dribble, that we've heard throughout our lives. You ...

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Lisa Beach and Sarah Katzman, yep I waited til the credits, did an excellent job in casting this movie. I love Pruitt Taylor Vince, and he was a little too convincing as Malcolm Rivers, with his crazy, crazy eyes. In most movies, good casting occurs, when you don’t notice that you’re actually watching actors. This can become hard with big names like John Cusack and Alfred Molina (The Doc Oc himself). Thankfully, these actors were good at their roles. ...

This link opens to the The Movie Network website. Fear not the link. Ever since we got TMN, I’ve been trying to keep of all the mini-series, series, and specials, that come and go. I missed the early chapters of some of them, and was unable to get into the story (The Sopranos), some i jumped right in, and kept watching (Slings & Arrows). There were a few, that I didn’t like at all (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Angels in America), and some that I loved (Band of Brothers, Dead Like Me). Recent...
