Fox’s comedy Do Not Disturb looks like one of the biggest bombs of the season so far , and when it is taken off the air (which it will be in five, four, three, two…) no one will miss it much, including me. But I said in a previous post that I thought it had potential, and after seeing this week’s episode I still think that, so let me explain what I mean, just to embarrass myself even further.
This show, about the two classes of employees at a fancy New York hotel (the pretty people who work “upstairs” and the outsiders who work downstairs out of the view of the guests), was created by Abraham Higginbotham, a writer for Arrested Development, and it’s basically Arrested Development with a studio audience — Jason Bateman directed the pilot, and it stars Jerry O’Connell, who has been winning Jason Bateman Look-Alike Contests since the ’80s, and once seemed destined to have a better career than Bateman. (Not an...

I’ve been flaking at work, school and life ever since the release of Fallout 3. I snagged the collectors edition of the game and haven’t stopped playing since. One thing I can say about the game this early on is it’s tough scrounging for ammo, especially after you’ve wasted all of it on a giant fire ant’s skull. Now in regards to leveling and building up your charact…

“Look, for the tenth time, it’s pronounced ‘a-NAL-rap-ist’ ”
Now that the Arrested Development movie has been confirmed as a sure thing (knock on wood), I felt it was the time to take a look back at the series’ best running jokes. The show failed because 90% of the jokes were based on older episodes, and that didn’t make for very good promo commercials, because people are stupid. But here they are, with as much video evidence as I could provide. I’m ... more
I think I slept for 10 hours last night!? It’s the cloudy day - I didn’t realize it was morning!
We came down to make a pot of coffee . I think I am definitely addicted - both mentally and physically. It’s turned into a ritual and I think I look forward to “enjoying a cup of coffee” more than I actually enjoy the taste. But I guess it’s not a big deal to have a cup a day throughout the colder months. It’s got antioxidants after all!

This Hancock 1080p BluRay rip just came out and thought some people may be interested. I liked the movie personally and I believe it’s worth a watch!
There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility - everyone knows that - everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, c... more
John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world. For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily. He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way of getting the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hanc... more
Everywhere we turn these days – on our televisions, in our newspapers, during three sets a night at our local airport hotel lounge – Stephen Harper is playing the piano. The man who once mocked politicians who’d sink to Giving Something of Themselves to a personality-driven media is now our country’s best hope for a half-decent weekly variety show. My fellow Canadians, I say again unto you: this tip glass isn’t going to fill itself.
In all seriousness, I’m worried that t... more

-Perhaps to the chagrin of his speechwriters, Jack Layton tends not to follow his script too closely when delivering speeches, rewriting sentences and skipping the odd bit as he goes. At one point on Saturday, the teleprompter read only, “Tell taxi driver and gas price story.”

AND ANOTHER UPDATE: Okay, I’m now officially confused, but it sounds like I may not be the only one, so that’s comforting, at least. From the comments, a statement from Robin Kers, president of COPE Local:
The statement purportedly made by the Federal Secretary of the NDP to Kady O’Malley is inaccurate. No agreement was reached “early last week” and to the best of our knowledge the hearing scheduled for September 16th has not been “called off”.
While agreement in pri... more
The subject heading is from one of the episodes included in Duckman: Seasons 1 & 2 , available this week. This set surprised me, because I usually expect nothing but the lamest presentation from CBS/Paramount home video (home of the bare-bones sets, flimsy packaging and rescored Fugitive episodes). But this is a really well-done set. The special features are extensive: a commentary on the pilot by Duckman voice actor Jason Alexander and Duckman creator Everett Peck (he created t... more
