“You have me at a loss. You know my name but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he’s John Wayne? Rambo? Marshall Dillion?”
I’m on your side you clown. Put my shit back. And my myspace too. Why, because I posted an ANON video? The picture is bigger than both of us.
By now, I’m sure that everyone across the globe is fully aware of last year’s viral phenomenon that ended up in most people’s porcelain gods or maybe that little aluminum trash receptacle under your desk that you purchased from Target. This shit was so funny filming it. Jerry had no clue what he was in store for. But then out of the clear blue sky, He decides to dig in and go for seconds. You dirty freak!
I have never watched a single episode of The Family Guy but I honestly have to say that their Star Wars homage, Blue Harvest, was an extremely funny and tantalizing experience. Laughing out loud didn’t even come close to the near tears of comedy that were precipitating from the rebellious corneas and transmitted from the depths of the limbic system. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on Star Wars trivia and I have to admit that the pacing of the story, shots and reference points were mostly right on for an animated take on the legendary film.

It’s about time that late night got back to its senses but although I was happy to see Leno and O’Brien back on the tube, the absence of writers is pretty apparent. Leno went back to his roots and relied on his stand up which worked great and Conan dragged out skits just to kill some time. What I found pretty interesting was how there was more of an audience interaction as both hosts including Letterman, decided to educate the crowd and viewers at home, on how their lives were affected by the writer’s strike. Letterman on the other hand, had a higher advantage as he owns his show through Worldwide Pants Inc. and then licenses the airing rights to CBS which allowed him to only use his head writers with the blessing of the WGA. If I have to say one thing though, the beards have to go. O’Brien and Letterman grew them out in support of the strike but I hope it ends soon because then we’ll have a bunch of Gandolfs hosting late night.
This new year’s eve was one of maybe three times in fifteen years that I was home for the televised countdown and what I realized was that the country and most of the world is not on its best potential. Most of the people that I know stayed home and thought about the issues that are playing out in our lives. The wars that we’re involved in, the unfair treatment of Ron Paul, the unfortunate death of Benazir Bhutto, the manipulation of media on all formats. I could go on for the next ten paragraphs but then I wouldn’t have space to point out the somewhat cool events that carried out as well. Continue reading ‘a new year with good change’
