dudes we are four episodes behind on BSG so plz no spoilers in comments


but I just have to show you guys the two local TV guide covers. I usually fold the TV guides, but I am keeping these for posterity. Unfolded.




Also, I think I posted this before, but I bought this Stitch because it's kind of disturbing.



WHY DOES HE HAVE THE HATS? WHAT DID HE DO TO THEM?

Happy Birthday, retrokicks!



Have watched Battlestar Galactica 4.12 and 4.13, so we're up to "Blood on the Scales." I hope we'll have time to catch up before Friday.


Also finished Being Human finale. oh my gosh. The first half was too teary/angsty, but the events that occurred more than made up for it. ooh when does the second series start?

genius.

Jason Voorhees (well, the first actor, Warren Gillette) injured by axe
Gillette was on hand at a Hollywood party celebrating the new movie, dressed up like the murderous character he played 18 years ago in Friday the 13th Part II. Unfortunately, he also saw fit to wield a real axe in order to make the costume that much more convincing, and a woman at the party seems to have taken his performance a bit too seriously.

According to Page Six, the woman jumped the hockey-masked actor (you'd think he'd at least have had on the burlap sack for accuracy's sake) and tried to wrestle the axe away from him, in the process accidentally slashing his hand.

"It was straight out of a horror movie," a source told Page Six. "Lingerie-clad models were running and screaming, as a blood-soaked Jason ran off the runway to get to a hospital."

Over a week old, but:
Highs and lows of the 2009 Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale)

Gomorrah sets box office records; an interview with the screenwriter.
Matteo Garrone’s Italian mob film Gomorrah found the highest per-theatre-average debut of 2009 this President’s Day weekend, according to four-day estimates provided this afternoon by Rentrak. On 5 screens, the IFC release grossed $102,702 for a $20,540 average.

yaaay

you know what we need? We need a clip of Miles (Ken Leung) singing.
He appears 1 minute in.


what everyone wants to know: What was in Hurley's dad's sandwich?
from the comments: I can't believe that no-one has yet pointed out the obvious connection to the Mayo Clinic. Dr William Mayo came from Salford, England. Salford served as the basis for some of the writings of Karl Marx, who of course inspired Lenin, whose name is very close to Lennon, as in John Lennon, who was an inspiration for Charlie on Lost.
Also, the Mayo Clinic was located in Rochester (Minn). Rochester was the name of the valet-chauffeur on the Jack Benny program. Note that Benny is a nickname for Benjamin. Jack Benny was famous as a penny-pincher. And just who is Benjamin Linus after? That's right. Penny.
So, clearly, the mayo on that sandwich proves that Hurley's father is working for Ben and Charlie.
Damn, those Lost writers are clever.
It all works out!

Lost's return is death knell for traditional TV season

premiere of ballet set to music from Battlestar Galactica

Peter Berg interview about Wonderland, Friday Night Lights, Virtuality and another Dune remake
I wonder if he's still working on that remake of The Mission (Cheung Fo). The Johnny To movie about gangsters, not the movie about missionaries set to an Ennio Morricone soundtrack.
The IMDB page is still pro-only.
also: Johnny To's Tsim Sha Tsui universe is cool.

lol rpattz will be in San Jose for movie premiere at Cinequest
the California Theater is v. v. pretty.

DON'T SPOIL ME

someone entertain me

oh, and last call for the character question meme. Ask me anything!


Here, have Entertainment Weekly's 15 most eagerly awaited midseason shows
It starts with a spoilery pic from Lost. And this isn't a spoiler article. But aww look at Daniel...


also, an awesome vid by Shmangalang on the TWOP forums: What if It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia had the BSG title credits?


ETA:

I give up I give up…I couldn’t do it…I can’t watch any more TV episodes…internet or otherwise. I give up!

I FAIL AT TV

My rules were pretty strict, though. I had to have seen the episode from the very beginning, with permission made for bathroom breaks and stuff during the episode. So that’s why there’s so few Brothers and Sisters episodes and other shows - I watch them in bits, but I rarely catch the whole thing. Also, news/late night shows like Late Night With Conan O'Brien were not counted.

You see later on that I started to include sports events I watched on TV. This was inspired by padfootie’s monthly recap posts. I wanted to keep a record of them somehow. I didn't write down the Olympics, though, because that would be too much.

Sometimes I would comment on an episode. No comment doesn’t mean no reaction.

lol Jimmy Kimmel asking Thomas Kretschmann "How many Nazis have you played?"

"Well, I'm a German in Hollywood...maybe 5, 6, 7 times...but I can say that I've played a captain more than a Nazi"


hey hey everyone please go to the show promotion meme

roadrunner1896 did Slings and Arrows, and croakvegas did Generation Kill.

Show support for these and other shows!


lol when I bought the latest issue of Sci Fi magazine with Battlestar Galactica on the cover, a fellow female student next to me asked "are you a fan of Battlestar Galactica?" and then we were pretty much January! January!
and then at the counter the guy asked me if I was a sci-fi fan and we talked about the star trek movie

subtle__sarcasm put together a short but sweet post on the passing of Star Trek's Majel Barret Roddenberry.

NEW LOST PROMO IS SUPER CRAZY
IS SOMEONE ON FIRE WHOA SHOOT I WATCHED IT AGAIN SOMEONE IS ON FIRE!
Also, why does everyone grab and shake Faraday in anger sheesh first Desmond then Jack and now Sawyer just because he’s a skinny thing

Today I went to the Nvision 08 World of Visual Computing convention in San Jose.

what I did:

-watched some of the Electronic Sports World Cup. This was the first time it's been held outside of Paris. The commentators all had various European accents and it was interesting to watch.

- this area was cool, all dark with green lights and stuff.

- next to it was the hall where a bunch of people were trying to beat the record for group continuous gaming, like 36 hours or so. They'd already been at it for a day, I think. Some were dozing on little head cushions set up on their chairs. There was a booth of free Bawls energy drinks nearby, so that might have helped.

-argh the Tricia Helfer meet-and-greet was yesterday. We actually passed by her (surrounded by geeks, guarded by a Centurion) in Comic-Con once, but that was before we knew anything about Battlestar Galactica. :( why didn't I check the schedule before

in the main exhibit hall

- the PMS Clan (group of female gamers) had this raffle thing we did. You could also spin the wheel for a prize. I got the "do or die" task. So I had to run and jump through the Bring Your Own Computer gameplay area and shout, "I love Patriot Memory!" A preteen boy joined me on the second run (I think I didn't run exactly all the way). We got really good flash drives as a prize.

- in the automotive area, you could go inside some new hi-tech Audi models. Separate climate control systems yay! The pretty Maserati, however, was just for looking.

- There were several games where you had to use your body to participate. One of them was like "fit your body in the hole." Next to it was an awesome 3-D display you didn't even need glasses for.

- In the food line, we were behind Team South Korea. I also saw one Team Polska player, but the other teams didn't put their country names on their jackets. One of the info people did get autographs from Team Libya players, I think.

- lol the French team were outside discussing strategy very very loudly and enthusiastically before going back into the World Cup gaming area. I guess they were waiting, because at the moment two French girls were competing against two Chinese girls.

- lots of interesting free stuff. One booth gave these giant bags that could be turned into sleeping mats, complete with attached inflatable pillow. Too bad I couldn't remember the booth - some European gamer girls were asking me where I got it, and the map was no help

My parents had some interesting conversations with people, and I tried my best not to fall asleep while my brother watched a presentation on how to make a relatively cheap gaming PC.

- oh, and I got to try out some new games. argh PC is so much more complicated than XBox 360. Some booth guys offered tips (the key instructions on the wall were also helpful, but didn't tell you that left and right help you balance too!) , and my brother kept trying to take over in order to "show" me. I know I'm not super-skilled, but I want to figure it out anyway sheesh

- they were also showing a documentary filmed entirely in Second Life. We only watched a bit of it. It looked okay.

shoot I start school tomorrow. At least it's only one class, Basic Musicianship. From 2-3 PM.
My backpack is so pretty I almost don't want to use it. Like 90% of the backpacks out there, it's Jansport, but I only found this design in a fancy luggage store in the Stanford shopping center. It's plaid, yes, the colors are a super cool blue color and an ever-so-slightly brownish-metallic-black. I took pictures of it, but I can't get to the pic comp right now

and I went to Sanrio and got a scented pen, a freaky acid Hello Kitty keychain that looks cool on my backpack, and a Keroppi pencil case. Turned out that the pencil case had more scented pens inside yay!

and that was today. -faints-

Guess who's finally caught up with all the aired episodes of BSG?

( me. )

In my dream, I saw one of my high school classmates at what I assumed was Ohlone College, although I've never been there, so it was a mix of different places...

Anyways, a squirrel took my hand. It had death grip, really pinching with both of its...hands? paws?
some people came to make the squirrel let go of me. Earlier, another squirrel had puffed itself up in my friend's face. aack

Also in my dream, my boss posted a bunch more of the videos I shot online. It was just raw footage clips, though. I was puzzled.
I also had to help teach computers? debating? to one of my friends and some of his friends. One person forgot that he needed to learn "how to edit" (the exact words, although I don't know what they meant) before I could do anything. So I went to the bathroom while they got that done.
In the bathroom, there was this cool distorted wave layered mirror hung low, near the floor of the bathroom. While I was on the toilet, I could see my face. I had fun making weird/scary faces in the cool mirror.

When I came out of the bathroom, the guys weren't at the table. I looked through the random house we were in, but it seemed like they left me to take care of their younger siblings and cousins, who were running around all over the place, in all the rooms, playing and watching TV.

random stuff from my subconscious.

I'll go more into Comic-Con reports later, but for now, a Twitter report from Pop Candy, about the Twilight movie:
The crowd continues to scream ... Director Catherine Hardwicke said Muse and co-star Robert Pattinson will be on the soundtrack
wow, Stephenie Meyer is really getting everything she wants.

some somewhat old news:
Battlestar Galactica to finish its fourth season in January.
See the preview for Caprica
looks okay, but I'm still more excited about Dollhouse. Which is why I'm sad to hear that the pilot is being retooled. Well, actually, Joss is shooting a prequel to the original pilot and using that as the pilot. Concerns about accessibility and all that. hmm.

via cleolinda: Fox gives green light to live action Cowboy Bebop.
Oh dear. Well, as long as the keep the style and the cool characters and the awesome jazz soundtrack, it might be okay. agh I'm nervous. "Tank!" is the best theme song ever.
ooh, I've never heard the full version. Even more awesome.

I now leave you with awful cakes.
Really, they're amazing, in a way.
Hey, even Cristiano Ronaldo makes an appearance.
