  • Why hire Tom Cruise?

    It appears Jerry “Sliders” O’Connell can do an uncanny Tom Cruise impression!

  • At Last! The Holy (Or WHO-ly Grail!)

    I found a site that claims to have EVERY Doctor Who episode produced!

    Click and enjoy!

    I’m not sure if this site has the ones that were ‘bulk erased’ by the BBC, but I’m watching some of the Patrick Troughton episodes, including the VERY first appearance of the good Doctor and the Tardis, followed by the VERY first appearance of those mechanical mutants we love to hate, The Daleks!

    While watching, It’s interesting to note how little the Tardis interior, and theme music has changed, at least until the Colin Baker years. Otherwise, a good find.

    Also, I plan on continuing my review of Champions Online. I want to wait for the next patch (the current one messed some features, plus they are supposedly introducing new zones)

  • Wife Crying at end of Return of the Jedi

    Posted on February 11th, 2010 thehutch No comments

    This is too hilarious!

    See more at The Official Wife Crying at Movies Site

    Of course, if there’s anything to cry about, it’s that they appear to have watched the Star Wars movies in the order of 1-6, because she keeps sobbing about Anakin and Padme.  It’s disturbing that there’s a whole generation for whom the revelation in “Empire Strikes Back” is not a plot twist.

  • Well, that’s one metatag shot to heck

    NBC’s Conan Farewell: Scrubbed From The Web, Studio Torn Apart | Online | Mediaite.

    Jeez, I did a lot of work getting the embed URLs for all of those Twitter Tracker segments and other materials I’ve linked to, and now NBC yanks them all.  Now my Conan O’Brien tags in the tag cloud are needless.

  • Jay and Oprah Interview

    Dissecting the O-Jay interview, lie by lie | TV Barn

    As you all know, I’m in Conan’s camp.  Jay may have gotten some unfair squeezing out by NBC back in 2004, but he did agree to step down from the Tonight Show.

    Blaming it all on Conan’s ratings is a bit unfair for two reasons: he was doing well with the key demographic, and he had an awful lead-in that was driving viewers away from NBC completely for the night.

  • No flying cars, neither.

    Posted on February 8th, 2010 thehutch No comments

    So I’m watching “Can’t Buy Me Love“. It’s a 1987 movie from when Seth Green was a little punk.

    In it, Patrick Dempsey plays a 17-year-old geek who arranges for a senior class hottie to date him for a month so that the “In Crowd” will consider him to be one of them. As the month wanes, the cheerleader sees him as a real person and begins to fall for him, especially when he takes them out for their last date. As they look through his telescope at the moon, he tells her that when he is his dad’s age there will be people living and working on the moon.

    And then it hit me. 1987? His dad is played by Dennis Dugan of The Unidentified Flying Oddball
    , who was 41 in 1987. I was a 17-year-old geek myself in 1987, so that math is pretty easy for me to do: Patrick’s character would be turning 41 in 2011.

    Are we living on the moon yet? No. We’re even canceling the next generation of space travel.

    Oh well, movies never get the future right. “2010: The Year We Make Contact” thought we’d still be locked in a space race with the U.S.S.R., and there are only five more years to invent hoverboards. On the plus side, I think Back to the Future 2 was a bit conservative in thinking the trend among teenagers would be to wear clothing inside outs. Last week, in 5 degree Fahrenheit and blowy Minnesota, I saw a punk walking down the street with his entire boxer shorts showing above his jeans, which he could only be supporting with his thighs. (Idiot.)

    No jet-packs, no flying cars, no living on the moon. The only monumental thing to happen since 1987 is they remade “Can’t Buy Me Love.”
