New Year, New Shows

by Chris   ⋅   January 15, 2008   ⋅   Comments [2]

As you probably already know, Kris and I don’t really watch television shows, but this year I’m actually trying to take advantage of some bite-sized entertainments. And, so far, some have actually proven entertaining. So, here’s a quick rundown of things I’ve been taking a look at.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
You’re probably already watching this [...]

Separated at Birth: Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle

by Kris   ⋅   January 15, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

We caught the new Terminator television series two-night premiere and I got to thinking that Lena Headey (from 300, who plays Sarah Conner in the series) looked like Lara Flynn Boyle.
For shits and giggles, I looked up Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle on imdb, and here are the first images I found. [...]

Who’s on Top? Jaslene’s on Top! ANTM Cycle 8 finale

by Kris   ⋅   May 17, 2007   ⋅   Comments [2]

Sooooo.. it was down to rancorous Renée, sassy Jaslene and naïve Natasha. I don’t have much to say this season.. I liked Natasha’s bubbly attitude even though it was completely devoid of humility, but Jaslene took the best photos. I’m not sure why self-proclaimed “Cha-Cha Diva” seemed like she was on valium as [...]

What’s on Wednesday?

by Kris   ⋅   April 25, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

I am not a TV watcher and certainly not a fan of the reality TV blitz, but there are a few new shows that creeped into my Wednesday nights:
Beauty and the Geek - I think this show is on more than once a week, but I prefer not to know the schedule so I [...]

ANIME REVIEW . Afro Samurai Director’s Cut

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   April 5, 2007   ⋅   Comments [6]

The other day Funimation dropped us a preview copy of their upcoming Director’s Cut of Afro Samurai. Now, being a preview disc, the copy I viewed was pretty rough around the edges — by no means a production grade — but it did give me a nice idea as to the special features that will [...]

America’s Next Top Model 2007 and Tyra Banks at the Beach

by Kris   ⋅   February 26, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

Get out your scorecards because in two days, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 8 is on! The international destination this season is Australia, which is fitting since Australia’s Next Top Model premieres on VH1 next week. Looks like there’s only one token edgy girl (Jael, back row far left) and as always, a [...]

Wanna Be on Top, Mate?

by Kris   ⋅   February 22, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Now you can da na na na naa naa Down Under. Ten skinny tall chicks compete in the first ever Australia’s Next Top Model. They all live together in a posh penthouse and fight and cry and bond just like here in America. Girls will accuse girls of cheating, stealing, being too [...]

In case you get all your news from MTV…

by Kris   ⋅   November 8, 2006   ⋅   Comments [2]

…you probably don’t even care about Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resigning or the Democrats rising to majority House rule. No, no you only care about Britney’s break-up.
Britney Spears seems to have tired of the sperm bank she called a husband and made a bee line for splitsville with Kevin Federline. I know, [...]

I Want My iTV

by Kris   ⋅   September 12, 2006   ⋅   Comment [1]

So today Steve Jobs unveiled to the world that Apple will not only be in your car, in your pocket, but in your living room. Before thoughts of a creepy Big Brother invasion wash over you, just remember that Apple is neither the Patriot Act nor Microsoft. But Apple wants to rule the [...]

Wanna be on Top? Cycle 7 coming soon

by Kris   ⋅   September 4, 2006   ⋅   Comments [2]

Na na na na nana na.. it’s that time again.. time for the scrappy reality show and one of Chris’ and my favorite guilty pleasures, America’s Next Top Model!
This season, seven out of 13 contestants are from California, including a pair of identical twins, Amanda and Michelle from Anaheim, and a girl actually named Melrose. [...]

CSI Season Finale

by Kris   ⋅   May 18, 2006   ⋅   Comment [1]

Ooh I love CSI. So many serious people in serious serious jobs, yet it’s so entertaining. Damn you Bruckheimer. Beyond the cool techno-gadgets and terminology, the trippy special effects and awesome background electronica, there’s a killer offbeat “something for everyone” cast. Why, there’s “I prefer bugs over women” Grissom, cutie nerdy [...]

Non-Dorky Sci-fi

by Chris   ⋅   May 16, 2006   ⋅   Comments [13]

Okay, so I don’t have much time what with two finals in two days, but I thought I’d put up something fun. Here’s a list of thirteen sci-fi titles you can watch, enjoy, and admit enjoying without unleashing torrents of derisive laughter from your co-workers. This would be non Star Wars, non Star Trek, non [...]

Wanna be on Top?

by Kris   ⋅   May 15, 2006   ⋅   Comments [20]

America’s Next Top Model is my guilty pleasure. It’s the one semi-addictive reality show that has earned a spot on my usual limited nerdite TV roster of Jeopardy! and Mythbusters. While each year churns out a less exciting group of girls to root for, I still try to watch at least half of [...]

TV . The IT Crowd

by Chris   ⋅   February 2, 2006   ⋅   Comment now

Okay, so we normally don’t mention TV shows on the site (It’s been known that Kris and I don’t have cable, but these days we no longer have even an antenna on our TV.) but this one’s pretty cool due to: a.) it’s being the first comedy show whose subject matter revolves around the daily [...]

Don’t let the govt give the boot to analog without promising to upgrade your set to receive digital signals!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   June 16, 2005   ⋅   Comment [1]

Just got this in my email. Thought it might be of interest.
You may not know it yet, but your TV could soon go dark.
Congress is getting ready to take up legislation that would set a firm date for all television signals to switch from the analog signal you receive now to an all-digital one. Yet, [...]
