A cool site on the web (besides this one) and why I Love New Years!

September 14th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, Websites

Rare as it is, occasionally I will recommend a web site to you that tickles me, and seeing that this is a family friendly site I will keep my recommendations far away from some of the more obvious sites we all know and avoid.. The site of the month is PALEO-FUTURE, one of the most interesting blogs I have seen in a long time.. PALEO-FUTURE takes one of my constant rants (What the hell happened to the flying car I was supposed to have by now) and shows you in a historical context what mainstream media of the time showed the populous what a wonderful world it would be. PALEO-FUTURE is visually stunning while holding a mirror to the naivety of the past as well as the hopes for a brighter future.

IRON MAN starring Morton Downey, Jr.

September 11th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

So, last night, I’m vegging in front of the TV, watching the Daily Show. Between the continuing Senator Craig Jokes and the continuing Iraq jokes, they push to a commercial break…….AND THERE IT IS…………. The two minute trailer for IRON MAN, opening May 2008. I was enthralled and went scrambling for my laptop to see what was on the net…….

Reader Mailbag – Too Many People Agree with Me that I AM An Idiot!

September 7th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, Sitely News

OK kids, on a fairly irregular basis, I will pretend to answer all the hate mail I get as well as the occasional love note.

On my series of articles about the Sci Fi network, John from Colorado wanted to know why I hated Mansquito. OK John, if in fact that is your real name, I have a list of things for you to do:

Thursday, Sept. 6, 2007 – How much could Chuck chuck, if Chuck was in movies and TV ?

September 6th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Yes, I am an idiot. I am the same guy who loves ALF as one of the best sci fi TV shows EVER. I am the same guy who hated The White Album. I am indeed the same guy who thought Ron Goulart ghost wrote all the Shatner novels (oh wait, he did).

Theatre of the Mind – Making The Case for Science Fiction on Radio – An Open Letter to Anyone

September 3rd, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, Sitely News

“I don’t like to think of what I write as Science Fiction. I prefer to think of it as history that just hasn’t happened yet”
Ben Bova

Does a science fiction program of “any” type have a place in current mainstream radio? Well, this is the subject of todays blog, not only from a perspective of the past including our show ,once on local Clear Channel syndication, now available in limited edition on iTunes, and looking toward the future, not just for our jolly little team of misfits, but looking well past the demise of the Bush Presidency.

Part 6 of 37 The new season – CBS, when ANYTHING old is new again.

August 31st, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Vampires, ghosties for everyone and something beside a vampire rises’ from the dead

Moonlight
(Steaks don’t kill him either)

Nic St. John reprises the role of Angel, ONLY NOT, only better? The quote to remember, “Being a vampire sucks” What really sucks is being in the Friday night deadzone. Add to this, the cast is filled with OC castoffs and unknowns and one of the producers is Ron Koslow (Birds of Prey – guilty pleasure alert).

Part 5 of 842 – The New Network Season on ABC – Ok There was this caveman, well more of a Neanderthal

August 30th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies, TV

Does anyone remember Phil Hartman doing his Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer? And Jim Morrison doesn’t sing Touch Me at all in Pushing Daisies. Note to Barry, consider this for the soundtrack!

Barry Sonnenfeld is a very twisted and funny guy and he has created at Sci-Fi comedy about Ned, a baker, who can briefly resurrect the dead. Now before you hurt yourself laughing at the idea of dead people, remember Sonnenfelds’ track record (Men In Black{forget the sequel}, The Addams family) and Producer/Writer Brian Fuller (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Heroes). Add to the mix the amazing Swoozie Kurtz and I’m guessing if they can get past 13 weeks they are gonna be solid. This is one I am rooting for.

August 27th, 2007 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

so, last nights episode was good, not great, not awesome, just good. The reason for this is that 4400 has moved from storytelling to preaching. The characters are not talking to each other anymore. Some examples:
