Wow. I'm a misanthrope prone to finding things like this annoying, but instead I enjoyed the hell out of it. I laughed out loud four, five times and thought a few of the juxtapositions were worth every penny it cost to make.
Seriously, watch Matt dance all over the world.

I would pay big money to see this on a big screen instead of my computer. Action, thrills, intrigue, and stripes!!!

I went looking for a Wonder Twins video. Boy did I find one. Please note the great Ted Knight impression of the narrator, too. Whomever that is really nailed the voice.
Today is my first guest post at Pop Critics. It's a preview of Charlie Jade, premiering on the SciFi channel on Friday, June 6. Trust me when I say, if you're a regular here (TheWife excluded,) you're probably going to love Charlie Jade. Please head on over there and comment on my piece.
While you're there, take a look around. Pop Critics is a great, burgeoning site run by Jason and Mike that tries to focus on *good* popculture. I highly recommend it, despite my presence.
I'll be doing recaps for CJ as well as Burn Notice or Pop Critics this summer.
It takes oh so little skill or knowledge to write an op-ed for the Times, or get on the editorial board. At least that's sure how it seems. In today's NYT, Gail Collins has a rambling (not a good adjective for a short piece) editorial about (mostly) the Democratic race, the candidates, and the impact of men close to them - Bill and Jeremiah Wright.
She closes with this:
We’re down to a race between the candidate who claims he will make the political process better but has yet to demonstrate exactly how that works, and the woman who claims she’s the only one who’s powerful enough to take on the Republican forces of darkness. Don Quixote vs. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both accompanied by their lieutenants — the men who think it’s all about them.I'm always impressed when someone can show ignorance about pop culture at the same time as ignorance about "high" culture. Neither Sancho Panza nor pick one - Rupert Giles, Xander Harris, Angel, Spike, Riley Finn - was self-serving. Those are all perfect examples of loyal squires, ready to lay down their lives at a moment's notice for their leader.
I just saw an Instructable for the Greatest Cake Ever! The cake is a double-geek joke, with delicious frosting. It's a win-win-win.
Mike and Jason over at Pop Critics are running a Bad Ass Bracket right now. Head on over and cast your votes for the likes of Chuck Norris, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and James T. Kirk.
The second regional bracket - the Chuck Norris Bracket - is up today right here, and the first regional - the Jack Bauer Bracket - can be found here. Show your love for the badasses. And stay awhile too. The guys kick their asses to keep a steady stream of film and TV news flowing through the site each day.

Jimmy sticks it to Sarah. And then he sticks it to Ben like they're in prison.

Crap, crap, crap! I need a new cellphone. Not nearly enough resolution on my phone's camera to do this plate justice. Absolutely, without compare, the nerdiest license plate I've ever seen. On a Rav4, driven by a - larger woman - and in a plate holder that indicated she was a heckuva big SG1 fan.

You know what I love? YouTube. Also? Apparently Al Gore was tight with David Ben-Gurion.
Man, they grow 'em tough in Texas. Even the ballet dancers are tough.

Don't blame me. I didn't invent the caganer and I don't sell 'em. But I really do like that Quixote above. Better than the Bush, and better than the Pau Gasol.

It's pretty rare I do this, but I must say this is one of the most awesomest Google searches to hit my little corner of the web in quite a while. From St. Louis, Missouri:

Really? That's what raises their Spirits in St. Louis? Their over-Arching concern? I'd have the Blues if that were on my mind. Frankly, it should be a Cardinal sin.
Ouch. I'm really sorry. I'm clearly pundrunk.
Poor Xander.
The "Tempo staff"* at the Chigago Tribune have compiled a list of the 25 worst TV shows of all time. I could go through this item by item and point out how the staff is right or wrong to include a show on the list, but there's little point. Such lists are subjective anyway.
However, I do have to point out their serious lack of understanding of TV history. In discussing Joanie Loves Chachi - truly deserving of list-membership - they say "Scott Baio's addition to Happy Days was a classic jump-the-shark moment". No. See, when Fonz jumped the frakin' shark, that was when they jumped the shark!!!

Hamas has a Boy Band!
Formed in the summer as part of the arts department of Hamas's domestic security service, the Executive Force, the group has performed for police units around Gaza City.
But Maj Abu Abdu, who also uses his fine voice to call the faithful to prayer at a mosque, outlined ambitious plans for Protectors of the Homeland — to produce their first recordings for distribution, to build a theatre in Gaza City and even to start public dancing.

So it was certainly a delightful irony when, upon my arrival, I was told that my segment had been canceled due to breaking news. "Oh," I said, "What happened?" The technician replied, "Didn't you hear, Britney Spears just lost custody of her kids?"
I've been saying for years that Jan was the hot one, but everyone disagreed. Well, now we've got confirmation that even Marcia thinks she was the hot one!!!
Here I am, about to pitch my idea about a zany vampire dog that teams up with a by-the-book were-cat to fight crime.
It's called "Lick and Blood".*
