One Year Later.....

So yeah, it's literally been one year since i put anything on here. What can I say? A combination of life, laziness and other things have kept me from putting anything on here. Well now I am going to try and start to get back into the habit of trying to write this a little more.

So I decided that to start, I would just do a check list of a few quick hits on things going on in the film and entertainment world. And also a couple of things going on in my world as well.

- So basically it's fall. This is the time of year when the good films are suppose to be coming out and frankly I have not seen that many. Among the best I have seen so far are Paranormal Activity, The Men who Stare at Goats, and Zombieland.

- Count me among the shocked that Saw VI, is doing as bad as it is doing. Look, we all the series best days were behind it but to not even make $25 Million in it's entire run so far while Saw V did $30 million in it's first weekend! That is just a stunning fall. Gotta start to wonder if Saw VII is going to be the end of the series.

- Oh and count me out for New Moon. Unless you are 12 years old, you can't tell me that movie looks any good. You can tell that right now because all the attention is on the actors and not on the film itself.

- If there is one film I am looking forward to, it's Clint Eastwood's new film about Nelson Mandela, Invictus. Still amazing to see Clint at almost 80 years old still pumping out great films at his age.

- On the TV front, the season finale of Mad Men is tonight. This season so far has been really enjoyable so far. It's had kind of a ticking plot kind of plot going all season because you know that the Kennedy assassination is coming up very soon. Can't wait to see the chaos that ensues with that.

- Since I work for an NBC affiliate, I can tell you personally that the shows on the network are that bad. I can't tell if it's the bad management at the network or if it's executives picking the shows. Either way, something has got to change.

- Besides, how do you cancel a show (Southland) that gave you good reviews and decent ratings? You know what kind of show it is and all. It was very classless of NBC to do that to the show. If it succeeds on TNT next year, NBC will really regret it then.

- Jay Leno may be saving NBC money, but it's a ratings black hole. NBC needs to get him off of there next year or else, they really are screwed.

OK, that's all I got. Talk to you all again soon. And this time I mean it!
