Microsoft Ad - Shoe Circus

By justisengard 0 Comments
Categories: Technology, Television and Windows

Please can someone explain this Microsoft commercial to me? I do not get it. The commercial hopefully is setting up something. Hello Microsoft….I am waiting to see something cool or funny, or at least that makes sense.

I have to agree with Kevin Rose on the latest episode of Diggnation - what old men came up with this ad? The audience you want to capture, at least on TV is the younger audience. Kevin suggested paying Jessica Biel to rub a Vista box against her breasts. How talk about making Vista cool and getting some viewership for the ad. ;-)

Goodbye Bernie Mac

Bernie MacUnfortunately the world has lost a very funny guy. As many articles about his death state, people were shocked in Bernie Mac’s passing. (Star pay tribute to Bernie Mac)

I am a bit surprised that he died from pneumonia. I would have thought in this day and age, as long as you got hospitalization, this would have not been such of a problem.

Obviously I was mistaken.

The new Bionic Woman TV Series

By justisengard 1 Comment

New Bionic Woman 1Michelle Ryan set to be the new Bionic Woman

When I first saw this, I thought to myself, Bionic Woman, what about the Six Million Dollar Man? For those of you who are not aware, the Six Million Dollar Man was a wildly successful tv series back in the 70s. I was a huge fan when I was a kid. The Bionic Woman was a spinoff from that show, and only lasted two years.

As I read through the article what they have basically done is bring back the Six Million Dollar Man, but make him a woman. The Six Million Dollar Man was a secret agent of the OSI and was a bit of the 70s version of Alias. He had two bionic legs one bionic arm and a bionic eye. The Bionic Woman, from the 70s, had the same, except the bionic eye was a bionic ear.

“In these new shots from the pilot of the show, Ryan can be seen waking up with her new legs after the accident that put her in hospital. She also receives a bionic eye and a bionic arm.”

“In stills from the show Ryan can be seen leaping from tall buildings, and engaging in martial arts style fighting in the driving rain”

So what is wrong now days with a male action star? I mean do not get me wrong I very much enjoy hot woman kicking butt. I can think of several off the top of my head: Jennifer Garner in Alias, Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil movies, etc. But to turn the Six Million Dollar Man into a woman, come on — that is just wrong!

However, everything being said, I probably will watch it. Maybe they will give her a red jumpsuit and have her run in slow motion with sound effects at least once for the Six Million Dollar Man faithful. One can dream… ;-)
More pictures from the new show below. Checkout the new version of bionic legs.

LOST Theory

LOST LogoIf you are a LOST fan, you obviously have been trying to figure out what is going on and where things are going on the show. If you are not, then you are probably not a fan of the show. Or you think the writers are simply just throwing out random ideas and that none of it is really all connected.

Well, I saw this LOST theory on digg (Best LOST Theory). The link was a 404 error, but one of the comments had the following theory in it.

Warning: this could be considered a spoiler.   So, view at your own risk.

New Lewis Black show on Comedy Central - Maybe, maybe not…

By justisengard4digg 0 Comments
Categories: Television and dugg

I was a bit excited when I first read the title. However, after seeing that Patton Oswalt will be part of the show I so sure. I have seen this guy on several Comedy Central show - he is not funny, and most cases just stupid. However, since Lewis Black is hilarious on stage and on Back in Black on The Daily Show, I will check it and give it a chance.

justisengard dugg this:

Following on the success of “The Colbert Report”, another alumni of “The Daily Show” may get his own spin-off. Lewis Black’s new pilot, “The Root of All Evil”, will be taped this Thursday in Los Angeles. The show is described as a round-table discussion of current events between Black and other comedians. Can’t wait to see it!

Remastered Original Star Trek Episodes

By justisengard 0 Comments
Categories: Television

Found this on Starman’s blog (The Doomsday Machine). Evidently CBS-Digital has gone back and remastered Stat Trek the Original Series episodes with current CGI. Just looked at the preview (here). It is freaking awesome.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a big Star Trek fan. More a Next Generation fan that the Original…but nonetheless a big Star Trek fan. After looking at the preview above, I was psyched about finsind out if they were being air locally. After digging a bit through startrek.com, i found the airdates & affiliates page. For some reason this part of startrek.com is repeatedly out of service. I have tried access it over four times over the past several days and 50% of the time is unavailable. However, if you are in the Triangle area, it is on WRDC 28 (TWC channel 12). This week, the episode is Space Seed, the one with Khan and the Botany Bay.

Colts Win - Commercials Suck!

By justisengard 0 Comments
Categories: Sports and Television

I was glad to see Payton Manning finally get a Super Bowl win, if nothing else to end the endless comparisons with Dan Marino. (Great quarterback, hall of famer, but never a Super Bowl ring.) However, the game was practically over at half time. If Rex Grossman has decided to have a decent game, as he did against the Saints…well it might have been a different game entirely.

The half time show was good - but what do you expect - it was Prince. Nuff said there. I do think the camera folks discovered that rain can present a problem, and that mother nature does not care whether the Super Bowl is happening or not.

Lastly, with much of the game over at half time, I sat with anticipation of the famous 2 millon dollar a pop Super Bowl commercials. To put it bluntly…they sucked! (That is a technical term.) For one almost all of them were Bud Light commercials, obviously Budweiser has plenty of money. Some were just stupid, and others were reruns of current commercials. I propose a new regulation, law or whatever, for all Super Bowl commericals. If they are going to charge 2 million dollars per commercial, at least require that they be new. The best one, IMHO was the GoDaddy commercial. Now I do have to give koodos to the Doritos Super Bowl commerical, as it was done my folks in my hometown area. For those familar with Waverly Place in Cary North Carolina, they will recognize where it was filmed. None were really exceptional. Oh well maybe next year…

If you are a Star Trek the Next Generation fan, this is a must read. It is VERY entertaining. I look forward to future reviews, by Wesley. ;-)

Best quote: “Wait. What? Separate the saucer section from the stardrive section? The ship comes apart, like a Transformer? Can it turn into a gun and a boombox and a dinosaur, too?”

Updated:

The Encounter at Farpoint is not the only STNG episode Wil (Wesley) reviewed.

Looks like he has been reviewed theses for several months now. I just happened to catch it on digg.

More Quotes:

Naked Time:

“Any doubt that Wesley is a complete weenie is removed when we learn that he uses this device to have Captain Picard say things like, “Welcome to the bridge, Wesley,” instead of having Counselor Troi say things like, “Smack my ass, Wesley, I’m a naughty, naughty bitch.”

The Last Outpost:

“The Ferengi try to retaliate with their totally awesome whips that totally don’t look at all like the mutant offspring of a vibrator and a light saber, but the energy blasts also zap into the crystalline tree thingies.”
