Tis The Season

Apparently I didn't do a blog the entire month of Nov. Holy Crabapple. Well anyway the X-Mas season is in full swing and I'd like to take this opportunity to say that the holiday time for me has always been my favorite time of year. Presents, Holiday Music, Holiday Movies and most importantly it's about loved ones and family. For me though it also means I slow down with everything non-holiday related. Don't expect me to do any hard labor or anything mentally tasking. School was always hard for me at this time because I was ready for the year to end and was always counting the days until vacation time. In the spirit of the holiday season I give you one of my favorite Holiday songs. By s John Bongiovi who later became famous as Jon Bon Jovi.




And to prove to you it is Bon Jovi

The More You Know

Friends don't let your friends dress up as the Joker this year for Halloween. Yes we know it's a topical costume but you know it's going to be done a lot this year and most likely by some douche bag in a fraternity. And you don't want to associate yourself with any of those nozzles. So talk to your friends before it's too late. While you're at it talk to them about Sarah Palin as well.

Macs Aren't Perfect.



I saw this and thought it was funny.

Don't, Don't Vote



And you have one more day to vote early. You should know that if your voting place is a school make sure you go during school hours or after. Schools are crazy around 4:00pm trust me. And when were students allowed to bring their dogs to school?

The Late Worm

"The late worm misses the bird." This was the rebuttal I gave one of my teachers in high school when she told me that 'the early bird catches the worm' upon my tardiness. Last night the saying couldn't have been more true. This year I have been going to the shows of the Austin Wind Symphony. This is a symphony in the city that plays movie and TV scores. Last night was their Star Trek show. Let me just say they are very talented. I was 30 minutes late due to working a little later than I had expected to. As I walked in the lady taking money at the door just waved me on through so I ended up not having to pay. After the show I was supposed to meet friends downtown at The Belmont for a birthday party. When I got there there was a Make-A-Wish foundation fundraiser auction event going on that had 'private party' signs everywhere so I wasn't sure if my friends were actually there. I went in looking for them and in doing so wound up inadvertently sneaking in to the event as it was beginning to wind down. It's a good thing I dressed nicely because while I walked around trying my best to look like I belonged there I ended up scavenging some free food. With all of the rich and attractive teens and 20-something year old people being dressed nicely it was hard for me not to feel like I was in an episode of Gossip Girl. It turned out that my friends showed up a little earlier and decided to leave and go eat at Roy's for the birthday dinner portion of the evening. The night was a fun one and I ended up not having to pay for my show or my food for the night. I wonder if this is what it's like to be a celebrity?

TV Superheroes.

My earlier blog about re-watching last season's Smallville must have been read by some of the writers. They seem to actually be moving Clark on. I haven't been this excited to watch Smallville in a long time. If they keep the quality up this season we could be seeing a 9th season that is both necessary and wanted.

Now heroes on the other hand. What happened? I am usually the biggest apologist for shows that are starting to decline but this season of heroes may have taken the cake last night. Without giving anything away there was a scene in last night's Heroes that made me go WTF?! and not the kind where afterward I say 'awesome'. 3 times this season 3 different characters did things that were uncharacteristic of the characters from the last 2 seasons for no reason. Other than those three things I have enjoyed the season.

Heroes this season: C+
Smallville this season: A-

Fall TV Report

Here are some new shows that I have started to watch this Fall

Gossip Girl- Yeah I know it started last year and I'm a little late to the party but whatevs. and I'm still on season one.

Privileged- With Gossip Girl, 90210, and Privileged it looks like the executives of the networks are shooting in their homes to save money. Anyway this show is kind of cute and has some potential.

Fringe- This is my favorite new show. And it looks like Fox isn't going to cancel it so that's a good thing.

Life On Mars- True it starts tonight but I plan on watching this American remake of a British instant classic.


With these and the shows I already watch it's no wonder I never get anything done.

Somebody Save Me.

"Some people can read War & Peace and come away thinking it"s a simple adventure story. Some people can read the ingredients off a bubble gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe." This is a quote from Lex Luthor in Superman: The Movie. I had one of those moments recently. This past week I have been watching season 7 of Smallville to get me prepared for the start of Season 8 that begins tonight. While doing so I noticed what many people in the Smallville forums have been saying is one of their bigger problems with the show: Clark seems to be staying in Smallville mode and doesn't seem to want to grow and reach his full potential yet. This got me to thinking about my own situation when it comes to acting. Right now I seem to just be stuck in a stagnant situation of my own doing. I am being the Clark Kent of Smallville. I am in the process of correcting this as I type this with new acting classes. I haven't taken a class in 10 months. I think it's about time I get going again. And continue to grow. I feel confident in my acting ability I just haven't grown in the other aspects of the business. i.e. resume, headshot, agent, and going on auditions. I haven't been to one audition since moving to Austin 4 years ago. I think I'm way past due for one.

Thanksgiving Will Never Be the Same.

My fondest memories of the family's Thanksgiving. My brother and the male cousins in the family would stay over at Grandpa's place to help cook the main courses which usually consisted of a pig, and sometimes, also a turkey. A pig is what the NC version of BBQ is known or as it is spelled in the region 'Barbecue'. Sometimes it is referred to as a 'Pig Pickin'. Chopped pork spiced to perfection waiting to be devoured the next day along with the side dishes prepared by the rest of the family. It has been a tradition on my mom's side of the family for as long as I can remember. Watching Grandpa stoke the fires, while we all caught up on what we had been up to since we last saw each other. Going to bed for basically what would normally consist of a nap and waking up early to have breakfast and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and look for that Santa Claus at the end to usher in the next holiday. All of this will now be a very fond memory for me because this past weekend I got the sad news that my grandpa had passed away. One of the drawbacks of living so far away from home is the inability to see the family in times like these. Earlier in the week I was having waves of emotions. One minute I would be OK and the next I would automatically be sad. Then my emotion wall comes up only to be squashed by something as simple as the Coldplay song "Fix You". I have always liked that song except for Monday when it came on the radio at work. Tears streamed down my face during the chorus. Since it wasn't practical for me to go to the funeral I chose my own way of saying goodbye. I decided I would toast a glass of whiskey Coke (the drink I remember him drinking at Thanksgiving) in his honor. I'll probably end up doing it a few times this week. I raise the glass to the sky and nod my head in acknowledgement. Perhaps not the best way to say goodbye but it's one that I think will work. Symbolism is the key to that one I believe. It really is difficult to say goodbye sometimes. I'm even having trouble typing it right now. . . Here goes. Goodbye Grandpa L.K., Thanksgiving will never be the same.

Signs Our Economy is Failing.

In November of this year MTV will stop showing TRL for the time being. When asked to comment a teenager standing by Times Square shouted. "Oh my God. Oh my God! I've like watched TRL since I was like 8 years old or something. I Love it. I want to shout out to my mom out in Hope Falls Indiana. WOOOO!! And Jason you suck for dumping me."

It's Panda Momentum Out There.

You would think that it was the end of the world if you have visited any grocery stores in the last 48 hours. People buying water, flashlights, and Chef Boyardee to get through this perfect storm known as Ike. Another item people can't get enough of is booze. Now I've never really been much of a drinker but is throwing a hurricane party really the best way to ride out a storm? "Oh my God the power is out, everyone drink the beer before it get's warm!" It makes me wonder if it effects the death toll in any way. People getting sloshed and thinking it would be cool to walk outside. Granted there are also sober people who do that. They're called weathermen. This is 2008. I think we know what windy looks like without having all of the Weather Channel employees running after their hats in a storm. Let's just put a camera out there and watch from the shelter of a building.

A Guy Dressed as a Bat.

With the overwhelming positive response and success of The Dark Knight it will be inevitable for a sequel. Already casting rumors are a buzz on the internets so I am going to put my two cents in. Rumors have been spread about Johnny Depp being offered the role of The Riddler. Though it's true Johnny Depp could make playing a Starbucks Cup interesting I believe a better choice for him would be for the Mad Hatter. (Of course he is already going to be the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's live action Alice in Wonderland but that's beside the point.

As for Catwoman I think Rachel McAdams will be a solid choice.



As for the Riddler I would suggest that Crispin Glover be this one. Dude can play crazy with the best of them.



As for Clayface I'd say go with Guy Pearce. He's got the acting chops for it. Let a little CGI do the rest.



Something needs to be done to eradicate our memory of Ahnuld as Mr. Freeze. What better actor than Sir Ben Kingsley?



And if they ever decide to expand and add Robin again (I don't hate the character, I'm just not sure if he is a right fit for the Nolan universe) I think Penn Badgley of Gossip Girl fame would be a good selection.


So what do you think? Do I have a future as a casting agent?

WTC? WTF?

I have made my decision months ago that I would vote for Obama. Granted it was after who I wanted dropped out. (John Edwards. The man had a great plan to attack poverty and bring change to the country.) But in a sense of fairness I decided I would listen to what the Republicans had to say. Tonight I watched the Republican National Convention and one thing they showed was absolutely terrible. They showed a clip of 9/11/01 and had the audacity to try and capitalize on that. What happened that day should not be used by anyone in that capacity. I listened to the speeches and I must say Obama seems to have a better idea of what he wants to do for this country. McCain was vague about the problems facing the country and his ideas on making a change for the country.

If you happened to miss the Convention I can sum it up for you. Maverick, 9/11, 9/11, POW, Vietnam, hero, Maverick, Change, Palin+Executive experience, Maverick, Washington, God Bless America. I sense a drinking game can be made from this.

B and S and Philly, PA

Today I started watching two shows that it seems like I was the last one to start watching. First off Gossip Girl. Truthfully after watching the pilot I was not too impressed with this one. I don't think I have ever watched a show where I hated so many characters right off the bat. Are rich people really this predictable and one dimensional? I speak of the parents mostly. Something as archaic as suggesting your son stick it out with his girlfriend because he wants to do deals with her father? That still goes on? Anyway it basically seems like a show about rich kids who get wasted and laid all the time and their problems. Maybe I'm just jealous. I did however like the "poor" kids in this one. In fact if it weren't for them I probably would have stopped watching the show. It was only the pilot so I'll give it another shot since everyone I know seems to be into this show at the moment.

Another show I finally started watching today was It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This sitcom is rude, crude, and actually quite funny. I don't know what's taken me so long to see this show. I will be continuing to watch this one for sure.I would like to point out that what got me started on the show was an episode I saw last night at SideBar. I guess someone had the DVDs going.
If you are interested in starting Philly you can watch all of the episodes online at Hulu.com. As for Gossip Girl the first season is on DVD so you can rent it or buy it.

Superman Returns Again (Kinda Sorta)

Newsarama has a story here about the direction the new Superman film will go. According to the article they are basically going to reboot the franchise. Now I thought that is what they should have done last time. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Superman Returns for what it was. (Basically the worlds biggest fan film.) I thought it perfectly continued the movies from the Christopher Reeve movies. It was a great ode to that series. And what they did I thought was great it just was more an adaptation of the Superman movie of 1978 than it was about Superman the Comic Book character. I wanted a movie based on the comic book character, not a movie based on a movie based on a comic book character. Hopefully this news turns out to be a good thing and we don't end up with another Superman IV. (which by the way even though it is my least favorite of the five I liked it I just thought the serious subject matter should have been taken a bit more seriously) Now if only they will keep Brandon Routh.

And One to Grow On.

My last blog dealt with sites I frequent. Here is one that I am growing to like the more I read it. The Orwell Diaries is a site that is posting a new blog from the diary of George Orwell to correspond with the same date of his journal writings in 1938.

Online Me

To get a feel of who I am I would like to share with you some of the websites that I frequent mostly everyday. most of these are .coms.

Myspace/Facebook These are a given since social networking sites have become the new email.

WWTDD/Filmdrunk/IDLYITW- These are where I get my movie news/celebrity gossip/celebrity stalker photos fix. They give it with a sense of humor I like. And as an added plus they dislike Perez Hilton and AICN more than I do.

Kryptonsite/Superman Homepage- Of course I go to these for my Superman and Smallville needs.

Poshdeluxe- A friend of mine has a blog and it is good. You should go there if you want to know what you are missing out on in Austin. Plus she did an interview of me that you can read if you go here

Okcupid- I'm single and the site is the only online dating site that I like. Mainly because it is free.

Hulu- because I don't own a tivo. Since this site went up my downloading of TV shows that I missed went down by at least 90%

consumerist/wisebread- I visit these sites because I try to be a knowledgeable consumer.

shoutwire- This one used to be much better than it is now but is still worth a good read every now and then.

TV/IMDB- both of these are tools to use when I can't place the actor I am looking at in a movie or a TV show that I immediately have to find out who it is before I go crazy.

BBC News Because let's face it. Our news has to answer to the corporate sponsors.

With all of these sites plus checking my email it's no wonder I never get anything done.

WTF with Dick and Jane.



I found this on a blog I frequent and WoW. That's the only way I can describe it.

All the Right Movies

Say what you will about the man behind the scenes. I have never had the luxury of meeting him but you have to admit he has been part of some of the greatest movies of the last 25 years. And if you go to tomcruise.com there is a video of some of his performances in the last 25 years. Of course that can only mean one thing. Since a majority of these films are from Paramount you can probably expect to see a boxed set soon covering his 25 years in the movies. Now if only I can get money for coming up with the ad campaign for this boxed set. Tom Cruise Box Set. "All the Right Movies".

I Must Be Getting Slack In My Old Age.

Since changing to a store closer to where I live I no longer have the need to set aside road trip music to get through the commute to work. One byproduct of this is discovering a CD while listening to the Shuffle that I forgot that I had bought. So I have already bought MXPX Secret Weapon. In a somewhat related note I can't seem to find the first X-Files movie ANYWHERE. Not even for rent at the nearest Blockbuster.

Shuffling Questions

Let's play Musical Answers with questions found from someone's blog. I am aware this is so 2005 but I don't care I like them.


To play this, you need an Ipod or Mp3 player with a "shuffle" feature that allows random shuffling among all the music stored on it. Since I have so much Karaoke music on my laptop I will omit those if they pop up. Other than that no cheating.



How does the world see me?

Warm- NOFX
Awwwww.
Thanks world!


What do my friends really think of me?

Never Been in Love - Andrew Rex. My friends know me well. I've been in tremendous like a lot though.


Do people secretly lust after me?

For You to Notice - Dashboard Confessional. I guess they do.


How can I make myself happy?

Fall on Me - REM Not sure if this is working now.



What should I do with my life?
Have at Thee ! - Say Anything / I guess I should go out and get Krunk with my friends while going out with a girl that drives me insane. Great.


Will I ever have children?

In The Garage- Weezer. I'm not sure how to respond to that one.



What is some good advice for me?

Work in this Universe-Fulflej. Since the Universe is balanced I'll come out ahead in the end. That is some good advice. Idealistic but good.



How will I be remembered?
Come Out of the Shade- The Perishers

What is my signature dance song?
Young and Depressed- MXPX Good song but not a real good dance song.


What do I think my current theme song is?

Theme from Star Trek: Insurrection. The scores from those Star Trek movies are pretty good.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
If I needed You- Dashboard Confessional

What song will play at my funeral?

Sway - The Perishers. I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that this band is really good. Check them out. Preferably Before I die.



What type of men/women do I like?

#9 Dream- John Lennon So I either like women that will alienate me from my friends. Or women who only exist in my dreams.


What is my day going to be like?
Say It Ain't So- Weezer I guess I should stay home on Saturday.

They Just Went Full Retard.

Today I read that some disability advocacy groups were going to boycott Tropical Thunder because of this scene the studio released last week.



Really? This scene? What are they slow? This scene is obviously about actors discussing whether or not they can pretend to be retarded. No insensitivity here in my opinion. Nothing about retarded people at all. Not one mention of Downs Syndrome. Not even a mention of Corky from Life Goes On. Man, I loved that show. Let's just stop being offended by every little thing that goes on in a movie. Don't want to see the movie? Fine. It's just that this whole "I don't like the message of your movie even though I haven't seen it so I'm going to try and get everyone else to not see it either" mentality needs to be abolished. It doesn't solve anything. And it makes you and your group look like a bunch of oppurtunists who don't understand the concept of context. End Rant.

Friends

I realized tonight that this week has been a bit of a blessing for me. Not only have I met new friends that I hope will be a part of my life for years to come I have also run into friends from most aspects of my life that I don't get to see enough. Thursday I saw some of my 'videoke' buddies in Henri and Caitlin. Saturday I was able to hang out with my friends Kimbra and Lisa from the Randall's store where I used to work. Sunday brought me to sitting in on an acting class where I ran into the acting coach, and my friends CJ, Corrina, and Chris. After meeting old friends and making new ones at the after party I went to the Ritz to see the 'Sailor Jerry' documentary and ended up seeing my friends Corey and Courtney. With tomorrow being Monday and karaoke night seeing friends can only get better.

While On That Subject . .

Maybe I have become too cynical with my views of relationships but I have noticed a another trend besides my post on the disposable relationships we have today. It seems that the more attractive a woman is the more a guy will be willing to put up with their idiosyncrasies. The same is true with women but to a different extent, the more money a guy has the more the woman will be willing to put up with his idiosyncratic behavior. Of course this is not true for all members of both sexes. One can conclude from this observation that this could be the basis for strip clubs. The man is there for the attractive women while the women are there for the money. Just a thought.

Disposable

Maybe I am just being too cynical but what happened to the "old fashioned" way of going out with someone? It seems to me these days that hardly anyone wants to refer to dates as dates. Or admit they are in a committed relationship with someone. Has it become too taboo to do so? The divorce rate is nearly half and half in this country. And I am sure the "break-up" rate is the same if not more so for non-married couples. Maybe I am just being naive and that nothing ever truly lasts forever. It just seems that people in general have no desire to be with someone. Or after they are with someone it doesn't take long for them to move onto someone else. Maybe I am making a leap in logic here but maybe it's because we have become a consumer nation. We have disposable plates, utensils, diapers, razors, pens, almost anything can be found in disposable form. We are always trading in the old car for the new car. The HDTV for the standard sets. And even with the new TV's we tend to buy a new one if it breaks because it's cheaper to buy new. It's no wonder we don't have lasting relationships with people. In our minds they have become just as disposable as everything else.

It's Not Easy Being Green.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a soft spot for those furry characters that are not quite mops and not quite puppets. More than likely I will be watching this one time or another. My only beef with it is that it will be on the Disney Channel which means that the only celebrities present on this show will be Disney Channel pseudo celebrities. (I am fully aware that they are probably really popular with the under 20 crowd.)

Let's Just Say I Want to Believe.

Tonight I went to the Midnight showing of the new X-Files movie. I think I was just as excited to see this movie as I was to see The Dark Knight. Yet this time I felt nervous. I felt like I had put something into this movie. I guess 9 years of your life devoted to a TV show will do that to you. Now onto the review. The writers did an excellent job in making it feel like an extended episode of the X-files. The main plot dealt with a scenario any fan of the series would be familiar with. (Or anyone who picked up the Revelations DVD). Every character was written properly within the confines of this world I've come to know and love through the 9 seasons of the TV show. What was especially fun for me (especially since I have almost watched 3 seasons on DVD in a span of a month) was to see some of the in-jokes they have scattered throughout the movie. References to directors and producers. Nods to some of the elements of the show. Canadian actors I have seen time and time again on the X-Files TV show as well as some other big shows filmed in Vancouver. There was a big laugh in the first half of the movie that I won't spoil for you and the whole gathering of people in the theater busted out laughing. All of the elements were there for a great X-Files adventure: Mulder's humor, Scully's skepticism, Mark Snow music, creepy, gory undertones. Well all of those elements except for aliens. Which Thomas ,a friend of mine that I ran into there, pointed out that it's weird that the Indiana Jones movie had more aliens in it than the X-Files movie. All of these elements were great and made for a fantastic movie yet I couldn't help but feel a bit depressed after it was all over. Maybe it's because I have a gloomy prediction that this movie won't do well enough for them to make the sequel Chris Carter intends to make if this movie is successful, maybe it's the feeling that this may be the last that we see of Mulder and Scully for a while if not for good, or maybe it's the fact that right before the movie started I noticed the last girl I felt any real strong feelings about turned out to be inadvertently sitting 3 seats down from me holding hands with a guy


Oh and wait until after the end credits to leave.

Dark Knight

Since all eleventy billion showings of the Dark Knight are sold out I probably won't be seeing it until Monday at the earliest.
Until then I will just have to settle for the trailer.
Or variations on the trailer. Like this one. Starring kids.



Yeah that was awesome.

Happy Birthday USA!!

The land of apple pies and dreams turns 232 years old today. To celebrate I have this song by the descendants that sums up how I feel about America. I love it but I hate some of the things we have done.



I found this on youtube while reading about the Declaration of Independence on wiki. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Canada!!

Today marks the 141st year of Canada's existence. Where would I be without Canada? Well for one thing I wouldn't be as entertained as I am. If I take a look back at all of my favorite TV shows past and present a good majority of them are filmed in Canada. Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, MacGuyver, Supernatural, and the X-Files just to name a few. One of my favorite actors, Michael J. Fox, was born in Canada. Not to mention Ryan Reynolds, and Nathan Fillion. One of my all time favorite bands is even Canadian. I have seen them live twice and they were brilliant. The Weakerthans is that band and here is their song about one of the more Canadian things to do: Curling.


So Happy Birthday Canada and may you keep entertaining me throughout the rest of my life. Excuse me while I celebrate Canada Day by watching some X-Files.

Snow Day (Figuratively Speaking)

Today for the first time since moving to TX I called in for work. Every now and again I get tendinitis in my feet. Usually it happens in one foot or the other so I can usually just use the other foot more. But this time the other foot went on strike the day after the left one did. So I've been pretty inactive for the last couple of days. Since I felt like maybe if I take today off I could possibly be better for work tomorrow as opposed to me working and being miserable since my job requires me to be on my feet for 8 hours. It feels like a Snow Day because it's a day off that I should have been working. Also because since my feet are bothering me I don't feel like I should leave the house. Nothing but indoor activities for me today. Now if only I could figure out how to make snow cream without actual snow.

The Truth Is Out There

I am going to attempt to watch 9 seasons of the X-Files and the X-Files Movie before the new X-Files movie comes out July 25. It's going to be tough but I'll endure. Hopefully.

I Heart Hulu

Hulu.com is now doing their 'days of summer' where they premiere something new every day, from movies to TV shows. Two things of note for me is The Three Stooges, and ALF.
One more reason to love the internet.

Superman Blog

Since the origins of this blog relate to me loving the Superman character I thought I would share two awesome YouTube clips I recently saw.



Christopher Reeve on Carson



Using clips from Smallville and Superman The Movie the author of this video edit deserves a bit of applause.

Not So Disturbing Trend.

Lauren Bernat is someone you don't know. Until today. She was recorded by her boyfriend while playing the hula hoop part of Wii Fit in her underwear. Who then, unknown to her, posted it on YouTube.



After the success of this video, (4 million+ views as of this blog entry) many other girls wanting their wii bit of fame decided to record their performances. Since none of these are really good I will not waste your time.

But not to be outdone by some "regular" girls a Playboy Playmate decided to try her hand at the Wii Fit with a camera nearby.





Sometimes the internet can be a great thing.

Hydrogen is the Wave of the Future

Everyone is complaining about gas prices. I should know I hear it everyday at work. "With gas costing as much as it is I shouldn't have to come back to the store to get this." That and look at the prices at the pump. Well a few automakers are taking note. Here is a clip from a Canadian show talking about a car that runs on Hydrogen.



What! Wait a minute. You mean to tell me we have had this technology for over 30 years and have done nothing about peak oil?

Here is a clip from another show that is not American. It's from a popular BBC program called Top Gear. One of the hosts drives a car being made in Germany. That runs off of salt water.



Will this suffer the same fate as the flying car? We are still holding our breath waiting for that one.

Welcome to the Last Blog of Krypton!

I have now joined the ranks of the blogosphere. I have decided to forgo my blog on a popular social networking site and put my thoughts, likes, rants, and other things I want to write about here.
