I know you are busy so I am reading the internet for you!

Greetings and Salutations,

Usually I post about things that caught my eye or something I dreamed up but tonight/today I wanted to remind you all that I like to read.

I read everything.

In fact I scour the entire internets daily to find any morsel of interesting information so you don't have to commit the time or energy.

You see any time I find something interesting I share it on my Google Reader I know this probably sounds like a commercial for them but I assure you I am doing this for you and not them.

So any time you need to know what is going on in the world (or at least the parts of the world I find interesting) head over to my Google Share Reader.

Why as we speak there are articles about:
Apple MacBook Air
Penn Jillette
Using Social Media to Meet People
Nike Air Force One New Release Pictures
Marketing Advice and Stories
Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise
Stuff about Saul Colt
and comic book and writers strike info

Go Check em out!

p.s. and while you are at it...why not bookmark this RSS feed...and this one too!

Are we owed proper continuity in entertainment?

Full Disclosure : I may be the only person who cares about this but I think it is still worth bringing up!

I have a weird memory.....weird is the best way to describe it because I have a wealth of useless information stored in it (like that Bombo Rivera was the starting outfielder of the '78 Expos) as well as a fountain of important info......that gives me my distinction of being the Smartest Man in the World but at the same time I can't remember much of what my High School life was like.

The obvious joke would be to say I don't remember High School because of some drug related experience but the actual fact is that I was a straight laced kid and just can't remember much of that time because I have compartmentalized all those memories into a small area so I could make more room for all this new knowledge I am soaking up.

That being said I wonder if writers of TV and Movies need to pay as much attention to their writing as I do as a viewer. Watching TV for me is an exhausting experience sine I am storing every line or event so I can use it in some joke or obscure reference at another time...this is why I sometimes get frustrated watching shows that ignore major plot points from past shows as if to say "Viewers....don't sweat the small stuff and just watch". The subject of Continuity is a huge deal/debate in the comic book world but I actually give comics a break on this since there are 40+ years of stuff to worry about in some titles but TV (for me at least) is different.

The reason I am writing about this is because of the last episode of Las Vegas.

Yes I know the show isn't really worth getting worked up over but I have seen every episode and actually like it.....and now that Tom Selleck is on the show I expect to see some "magnum magic". Anyway to keep it brief I will sum this up like this.....in the show a character gets fired and is told to leave the casino and her personal belongings from her suite (where she lives) will be delivered to her. Later in the episode she has all her goodies and is living with another character because she is tight for money and is in need of a job.....sounds all kosher so far (Happy Channukah everyone) except last season it was revealed that she was independently wealthy and had a HUGEAMONGOUS (that is not a spelling error) safe in her suite loaded with the largest collection of silver bars in the history of private ownership.

Am I being unreasonable to ask people to keep their stories straight?

Am I getting frustrated with all the reality TV I have been watching?

Am I using this topic as a way to stall until I come up with something better to blog about?

Will Andrew Dice Clay sell his 900 page memoir to a publisher?

Anyway I know this probably doesn't make much sense since I am tired and need some serious sleep.....so that is where I am going right now.

Night Night (real posts coming once I get some rest...and I have some real stuff to talk about....I promise)

Hollywood Writers Strike - YouTube Roundup!

I have been following the WGA writers strike pretty closely since...well....I love TV and movies and want to know when I can expect the see the dramatic conclusion the the two part episode of Las Vegas (featuring "The Selleck").

Is Sam gone?
When will Delinda's baby come?
Will Mike Cannon ever get the girl?

All these answers and more on the next episode of Soap (see what I did there?)

Anyway here are a few really interesting videos explaining the reason for the strike, the mood of the picketers and why I think I will never see another episode of 24 (ie: this strike is going to be a long one)

First we hear from some of the cast/writers of the Office....


Now the Simpsons.....


Opening joke aside (cause it was kinda lame) this is an incredible speech from Seth MacFarlane on the strike and why it is important to help the little guys


Enjoy
