Heroes Blu-Ray
Turns out that when I purchased the Heroes Season 2 Blu-Ray DVD I got jipped. Heroes Podcast pointed out in one of their regular episodes that NBC decided to put content on the regular DVD that they didn’t put on the Blu-Ray DVD.
I go to say, this makes me leary of purchasing additional BRDVDs in the near [...]
Reminder: Samsung Recycling
Samsung is starting a free recycling program for all of it’s products, well ahead of the curve of the laws under consideration to mandate this kind of behavior from equipment manufacturers. More information on Samsung’s Recycling Direct program is available at their website tomorrow, including all of the locations where this free recycling will be [...]
Heroes Season 3 Review
IO9 has a review of Heroes Season 3, and the fact that the premiere 2 hour episode lost 25% of it’s viewership to shows such as “dancing with the stars” and “csi: miami.” The language of the review is pretty harshly against NBC, but they make a few good points.
Season 2 looked to be spectacular, [...]
Amazon makes IMDB video free
Over at paidcontent.org, I found an article indicating that Amazon.com had purchased IMDB a while back and promised to make video available for free online. Well, it’s happened. IMDB now hosts tons of movie and TV database information, and free video. At least where TV shows are concerned, if they host it, it’s the full [...]
TV Review: Fringe
The new series, Fringe, by J J Abrams is thought provoking and dramatic. J J Abrams was writer, producer or director of TV Series Alias and Lost and also Movies Armageddon (with Bruce Willis), Cloverfield and the upcoming Star Trek movie. My girlfriend swears by anything he does (well, except maybe Cloverfield, she’s not into horror/apocalypic [...]
TV Review: True Blood
HBO series True Blood aired last night and after reading the metacritic hype, I’m forced to conclude that when a critic says “sexy” s/he means erotic, that is of course, if (as one critic says) your wheels spin on sex involving vampires or at the thought of being a vampire. I enjoy the vampire mythology, [...]

TV Review: Raising the Bar
Raising the Bar, according to Wikipedia, garnered 7.7 million viewers on it’s series premiere. It’s easy to understand why with the influence of the recent writer’s strike, America is dying for some original TV this fall. While a few programs have returned, and some have odd seasons (like Eureka from SciFi which started in July), [...]
Dr Horrible & Joss Whedon
I’ve enjoyed too much of what Whedon’s done for television. I sat my girlfriend down to watch his latest exploratory project. Now, I am almost embarressed to admit that I enjoyed watching Doogie Howser when I was young, but I did. I wasn’t dedicated to watching all the episodes, or catching up on those I [...]
Vin Diesal says there will be sequals
Despite the fact that Riddick is less than a household name, he’s still uber cool. Vin Diesal seems to agree and has promised that there will not just be one more movie in the series, but two. The question for him is not if there will be two, but if they will try to film [...]
