I read on MSNBC that the Screen Actors Guild is planning on launching a campaign to educate its 120,000 plus members that they should vote to authorize a strike. 75 percent of the membership would need to vote to approve the strike for it to happen. Their contract expired on June 30. I don’t know [...]
We’ve been watching coverage of Hurricane Ike for a while now. More me than RB, he fell asleep on the couch two hours ago. We found a Houston channel on our DirecTv that’s broadcasting nothing but storm coverage. The win is really picking up now, sometimes the reporters look like they’re having a hard time [...]
I’ve known since the week before the movie released that I’d never go see it. In fact, it will never been watched in my home – not on tv or dvd. Why? Because it’s very offensive. I’m no prude, and I can easily handle the language in most movies. But Tropic Thunder misuses the word [...]
There was a crazy segment on the Today show. A couple that owns a home in Concord, NC were notified recently by the tenants living in the house that honey was oozing from the walls. The couple discovered that when siding was put on the house three years or so ago and apparently at least [...]
There are many different news shows on a number of different channels. The news I watch the most is the 10pm broadcast of the local news on Channel 11. It’s broadcast from New York but it’s about as local as I can get. (Yes channel 9 is closer but I don’t like them.) My second [...]
I’ve mentioned before on this blog how much I dislike preemptions. By preemption I mean an interruption of regular viewing for a large period of time, usually long enough to cause you to miss a piece of storyline. I haven’t mentioned interruptions. I know, a preemption is an interruption really. But I’m referring to the [...]
I’m sure the rest of the country is hearing about it this week, but here in the New York – New Jersey area most of the news this week has been about New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the Emperors Club VIP escorts (aka expensive prostitutes), sex, morals, standards and scandal. Yesterday Spitzer announced his resignation, [...]
I heard on the news this week that Warner Brothers is putting out a fourth Terminator movie next year. It is titled Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins and currently has a release date of 05/22/09. I looked online and there’s not a lot of info yet, but the two actors mentioned are Christian Bale as [...]
One of the reasons we like the Channel 11 news is that they don’t tend to put the celeb news before the real news. I don’t usually find out who’s in drug rehab on a newscast. I usually find that out on the internet before I get a chance to see it on the news. [...]
Britney had a busy week, didn’t she. On Thursday she was taken out of her home on a stretcher after a 5150 was called in to the police. She’d locked herself in the house in a four hour standoff when someone came to pick the kids up from visitation to go back to Kfed. One [...]
