They seem to be trying harder than Knight Rider. Or was that supposed to be bad? Now I'm all confused. Networks should just tell us which of their shows are the ones we're supposed to mock. It would make marketing things like Heroes so much easier.

This is your brain on drugs. It wants you to know you are a failure.

B+???
You Lie!!

Yeah, Conan has very funny segments and is a talented writer, and he can sell a lot of comedy based on delivery that others would mangle, but the one thing he sucks at is the interviews (especially in contrast to people like Letterman and Jon Stewart). In an ideal world, they'd just let Leno interview the shit…

Well, color me cautiously optimistic. There are enough quality shows returning that even if only a couple of these new ones pan out, I'll be satisfied. And this year in particular, it seems like a lot of the things I'm looking forward to have non-Fall starts (Lost, Chuck, Damages), so there should be time to…

At this point, I'm pretty sure Conan's legs have been cut off already. Or at least broken and mangled. The man is pretty funny, but the mindless mobs want their Leno, and they don't like this tall fellow with the weird hair.

A Day In The Life is the best. True fact.

Yeah, I never watched any of the first season because I assumed it was going to be like House, but with detective shit and lamer characters and writing. However, I've been following TV news, and hearing about Shawn Ryan taking over (and there was something else, but I completely forget…) makes me want to try it out.

By and large the actual SNL shows were still terrible, but with nuggets of funny wedged in between the mountains of tedium. Weekend Update Thursdays were okay, but I could just feel NBC trying to milk the show for all it was worth, and that makes me nervous. Because then we end up with 5 hours of primetime Jay Leno.

The Clash - Live at Shea Stadium and The Who - Live at Leeds are pretty damn awesome, but I can agree that Cheap Trick sounds amazing in live recordings.

I now associate Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale with the show Heroes, which is to say that I associate them with a pile of steaming shit. I think that's prevented me from wanting to read The Long Halloween so far, but maybe in time I'll forgive them.

You can make meth from your basement for relatively cheap. I've heard that works.

Dude, he wants to rear your child. Sick.

DOOM as Doom would pretty much set off the greatest franchise ever. Movie villain #1: MF DOOM. #2: Viktor Vaughn. #3: Madvillain. Awesomeness ensues. I mean, who wouldn't want to see corny comic book-style action combined with underground MCs?

Props should be given out to Ice Burger, for making me spit-take. I tried to watch Batman & Robin as a kind of update of the Adam West ultra-corny era, but I had to turn it off after Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy came up (and it didn't have Adam West). That movie is so retardedly awful.

The Dirty South is probably their most accessible, kick-ass rock/country blending CD. I started with Pizza Deliverance, which I too thought was only okay, but keep moving down their catalogue and it gets really awesome.

Is this the one with the big-ass crow thing that plucks someone off a balcony? Because that was campily awesome, and if its what I'm thinking of, this movie is the shit.

If Michael Bay died before Transformers, no one would have given a fuck, and I could have avoided the 2 and a half hours I wasted seeing Transformers 2. Granted, I could have avoided that without his death, but it's much more rewarding to think of it that way.

He also acknowledges that he is likely part of the problem, with his writing for Time, etc. I don't think he was necessarily including himself in that splinter group, just wishing that it existed for the nerds of the world.

Thanks for the suggestions (and I have no problem with metal, I was just rambling stupidly…but metal sucks balls)
