Movie Trailer of the Day: Frankie Muniz, Carol Brady #2, a retired wrestler, Steven Keaton, another retired wrestler, that guy from L.A. Law, and Batman star in a movie about a superhero called Pizza Man that is shockingly real.

[buzzfeed.]

Frankie Muniz should have sat on his money and not done anything with his life. Anything but this.

Oh Switzerland. I miss you.

Well what else would you do? It’s not like those bloody 80s era Volvo heaters actually worked!

How many of these fucking Star Trek: Enterprise episodes start with Hoshi Sato? It's like she's the writer's favorite character or something.

I’m almost annoyed by it to be honest.

I can almost understand some people not knowing the difference between 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're.'

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:27:47 -0500

At least those are homophones. But how is it so many people don’t know the difference between ‘definite(ly)’ and ‘defiant(ly)’?

thedailywhat:

End Of An Era of the Day: Fox announced today that its long-running medical drama House will conclude with a series finale at the end of its current season.

Deadline reports that creator David Shore told the network he felt it was time, creatively, to bring the show “home.”

“The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party,” Shore said in a statement. “How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.”

The showrunner went on to suggest that House might live to snark another day on a different network.

The show, which has been on the air since 2004, is produced by NBC Universal, and the possibility exists that NBC might pick it up. However, NBC Entertainment head Robert Greenblatt all but dismissed that option last month when he indicated that the move would be too expensive to justify.

Still, some good news for fans of Fox’s Terra Nova: The cancellation of House makes a second season all the more likely.

Two seasons too late, if you ask me.

Movie Trailer of the Day: First official teaser trailer for The Bourne Legacy — the first Bourne film in the franchise without Matt Damon.

Starring Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Joan Allen, Stacy Keach, and Albert Finney, the film hits theaters August 3rd.

[movieclips.]

That must have been an awkward set. ”Hi, I’m Jeremy Renner and I’m playing Hawkeye in that Avengers movie you’re not the Hulk in because everyone else at Marvel Studios didn’t like you and/or didn’t want to pay you.”

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:30:35 -0500

I plan to do the whole interspersing thing. The time traveling thing would just be a pain in the ass to do (because then I’d have to watch some episodes completely out of order. Like the TNG Mark Twain episode before the TOS World War II episode). But yeah, I’m interspersing the TNG movies with DS9 and Voyager.

THE CHRONOLOGICAL STAR TREK CHALLENGE!

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:35:00 -0500

In which Chris will watch every Star Trek TV show, movie, etc. in chronological order (as in, the in-universe timeline order).

So:

Enterprise (I’m currently here).
Star Trek TOS
Star Trek Animated Series
Star Trek TOS Movies 1-6
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek TNG movies
Star Trek XI

There are some problems, of course. Some of the movies (Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact) involve Time Travel, so the actual order could be a little weird. For instance, a lot of Star Trek: Generations could come before TNG. Or the last 2/3 of First Contact could be before Enterprise.

My friends think I’m insane for even thinking about doing this.

So I went to Book Thing of Baltimore on Saturday to pick up some free books. Here’s what I grabbed, starting from the top and moving on down:

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (Because I was never going to pay for a copy, and making sure some poor college student doesn’t end up losing a few years to Objectivism is almost a public service)
The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama
The Godfather by Mario Puzo (I had to fight my friend Ben to keep this book).
The Gripping Hand by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (Sequel to the amazing book The Mote in God’s Eye).
Confessions of a Tax Collector by Richard Yancey
The American Way in Taxation by Lillian Doris (I actually could have used this book last semester to write my cap gains paper but whatever)
Maestro by Bob Woodward (It’s the story of Alan Greenspan. What’s not to love)

“Which side are we on? We’re on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.”

- Saul Tight, my favorite line of dialog in the entire series. His other line that is particularly badass is:

My name is Saul Tigh. I’m an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that’s the man I want to be. And if I die today, that’s the man I’ll be.
