The top two reasons why Countdowns 1# story is often mute button material: 1. Too much American Idol. Keith Olbermann claims not to like it but at least two or three number 1# stories were American Idol related. Not everyone cares about the show, you may be actually driving viewers away. Hopefully after this cycle, will be a few AI free months. Thank god they never took up covering The Apprentice when it was on! 2. Anything Anna Nicole related. Nothing else should be in the news about her unless, however , something happens like her coming back from the dead, and she brings Elvis and John Lennon with her. Imagine the massive freakout in the street. Its easy if you try. Gamecube update: Finally beat Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island! Will I ever play it again? Sure, to see if I can beat it quicker! I will now make a plea, PLEASE make an Inuyasha gamecube game! PLEASE! I'm done. Seperated at birth: Look at any pictue of Sascha Baron Cohen as Borat and then look at a picture of Frank Zappa. Is it me, or do they look alike. If they ever want to make a Zappa movie, look no further. Speaking of Borat, there is one trend actors need to stop: Appearing on talk shows "in character". Yes I'm looking at Will Ferrell (and some extent John C Reilly, since they appeared in their Talladega Nights persona on Larry King Live) and Cohen (and probably several others I can't think of). You don't see Nathan Fillion going around acting like hes his Firefly character do you? At the end of the day, you are just in a movie, you are yourself and no one else. If someone else did this kind of baloney, they'd be looking at padded walls. Am I taking it too seriously? Maybe, but its darn irritating. Raines: I'm checking out Jeff Goldblums new show "Raines". So far I like it, but then I like anything Goldblum is in. I'll give it my traditional four tries before I render a verdict. See you guys next time! Stay tuned for a special message at the end of the month. I have some news that will make your jaws drop.

So I got one of my Oscar picks wrong. Everybody and their cat predicted Eddie Murphy would win. Congrats to Alan Arkin. Congrats to Martin Scorcese as well. His first win! I disagree with some of the the top winners, however, as you might expect. I didn't like Departed, so it won. I haven't seen "Last King of Scotland" either so I can't say its deserving or not. I'll update you when I do see it. What I think should have won for Best Picture: The Illusionist. Its a period movie about magic and forbidden love and Edward Norton. Love me some Edward Norton.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaB4aN6i4cw - Illusionist trailer Rent the movie today. I promise you won't be disapointed. My choice for Best Actor: Sean Penn in "All the Kings Men". He kept me enthralled during the whole movie. The older Mr Penn gets, the better he is. Also good in this movie is Jude Law.
I didn't see Happy Feet, the winner for best Animated film, but I wasnt too crazy about the other two nominees. Academy, please, more than THREE animated movies come out a year. There are five picture nominees, there should be five animated movies. (and for god sakes, kill off that part of the ceremony where you see the animated characters in the audience.) My choice for best animated movie: Barnyard! A truly funny comedy that teaches about the importance of family, and yes, that when you tip a cow...the cow will get you back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxBaQDU0gNg Barnyard Trailer I want to see The Queen now, largely because of my fanhood of Helen Mirren. I'm glad she won. I liked the ceremony for the most part, but they could have limited the interpretive dance bits to about two. They got old after a while. Who will host next year? Me! I'm serious. I'll keep things moving along. But if that doesn't work? My nomination is Craig Ferguson.

Tonight is the Oscars, one of my favorite awards shows to watch. Ellen Degeneres is hosting, so I probably wont be doing what did last year...fast forwarding the whole thing. My father taped it for me cause I worked that night. Jon Stewart hosted, and I could not care less about watching him. He isnt a good awards show host. Think I'm wrong? Remember when he hosted the Grammys? Do you remember there being another "official host" after the year he did it? I rest my case. I'm doing Oscar predictions, but admittedly its going to be iffy because. A. Most top nominees I have not seen. B. Uh....no wait, I guess thats the only one. To keep it short and sweet, I will just tell you who I think will win. I can't tell you who I want to win, cause, well see letter A. Plus I'm only going to focus on the big awards. Best Actor- Forrest Whittacker (is that how you spell it?) Its pretty much a lock. Anyone else winning would be a big surprise. Best Actress: Aside from maybe minor awards, the only thing "The Queen" will win is best actress for Helen Mirren. Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy. But Eddie baby, did you have to have "Norbit" released so close to the ceremony? It aint that bad, but it aint that great either. Alan Arkin is a close second. Supporting Actress: Seems to be Jennifer Hudsons year. Director: Either Martin Scorcese (who has never won) or Clint Eastwood (who has won twice). Best picture: I have seen Babel (okay), and twenty minutes of the Departed (couldnt stand it). I have not seen Letters From Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine (I have excuse, its even on video now) and The Queen. I think it will be Little Miss Sunshine. No reason, its a crap shoot at this point. So there we have it, a short but sweet Oscar pick section. Had I seen more of the movies, I might have made a different choice, but you work with what you have. See you round the net!

And now a few words on some events going on right now. Britney "I am the cue ball, not the eight ball" Spears shaving her head: Holy Frijole! Don't care. But by the time the media gets done talking about her shaving it, she will have grown it back. Remember when Demi Moore shaved it for GI Jane? It'll grow back. If not she can make a lot of money for Propecia. Anna Nicole: Its sad. Yes. But we don't need all this coverage. Quietly find out who the daddy to the kid is, bury her, and lets get on with life. American Idol: Still not watching. Is Simon cruel? No crueler than the fickle American music buying public who will like you one second, and toss you aside the next. WWE: Looks like Britney will be twinsies with either Donald Trump or Vince McMahon. I bet you bottom dollar at the end NEITHER of them loses their hair. (Okay quick summary for you who don't watch. Trump and McMahon will each have a wrestler representing them at Wrestlemania 23. The loser has their hair shaved). Studio 60: Gone? I hope not. I love this show. Soooo yeah its probably history. Oh well. I'll buy the season if thats the case. I can catch up on WWE if it comes to worst. Keith Olbermann for four more years: If you are real quiet, you can hear O'Reilly sobbing into his pillow tonight. Drive: Its a show I don't know much about, but I will give it a try. Why? Nathan Fillion, who I've made my poster boy of the week. Yeah, most times I've watched something its because of the hunk factor. But it does look good.
See you next time: I will provide a movie review of some sort.

Like most kids in my generation, I played video games when I was a kid. Mostly I played Commodore 64 games (Wow dating myself there), Atari and Nintendo. I gave my Nintendo games away when I was a teenager. I kinda wish I kept them, I never quite beat them. (In the case of my Friday the 13th game, it kept beating me.) I got a Nintendo Gameboy in the early nineties as a Christmas gift. I beat the Mario game I got with it, but did poorly in the other games I had (a Spiderman game, a Kirby Pinball game I actually did ok in, and a Ren and Stimpy game I never made sense of). Aside from my handheld game and arcade games, I wasn't playing as much as I was when I had more free time on my hands. Then came winter 2005. My father gave me four video games for Christmas unaware I couldnt use in my gameboy (which is just as well, its now as dead as...well something dead). They were Nintendo Gamecube games. What he gave me was a Metroid Game, Enter the Matrix and games for Wrestlemania 18 and 19. I had a couple of choices, ditch the games, have them become dust bunny farms or actually play them. As you can probably guess, I chose to play them. Course I had to get a system first. After a month or so, I got one I put on layaway. I finally got to play the games. So did I like them? Getting me those games has been the best mistake he ever made. I like the wrestling games more than the others. The best part of the wrestling games is that you can create your own characters. Once I figure out how to get a picture of them, I might someday show them to you. I have made "wrestlers" based on tv pundits, newspeople and common taters like Bill O'Reilly. (ironically as much as I don't like him, the character I "christened" after him is the one I have changed the least). I now have several other games, among which I have five or six wrestling games (Day of Reckoning, Legends of Wrestling I and 2 (by the way these two get played the LEAST, horrible controls) and a Nicktoons game, which I came close to beating, at least before the stupid thing froze when I tried to load a saved game. No problem, just started over again. Can I call myelf a gamer? Probably not. I do love to play however. It was a long time before I got back to it, but now I'm glad I have. Thanks dad (Link recommendation: Check out the Angry Video (Nintendo) Nerd on youtube, whos played some of the games I have. And likes them just as much. A Caveat though, he swears, and swears a lot but creatively.)

Today was Groundhog Day! Its on this day where we find out whether we have more winter weather or if we are getting an early spring. Right now where I live its snowing more than it did the last few months combined. The ski people will be happy anyway. Anyway like people in a certain town in Pennsylvania,the blather blog has its own cute furry weather forecaster. This morning we left some cheetos and a Diet Pepsi to appeal to "Mr Bizcuit", the local Blather groundhog, to come and give us the scoop. Oh, wait, I heard him coming to greet us! (He takes his sweet time, doesnt he?) Here he comes!
"Blah blah blah......me right, you wrong...."
That's not him! Wow, thats an ugly critter. Okay, big jerk, what did you do with my groundhog?
Oh there he is. Okay Mr Bizcuit, I don't blame you for being scared of that ugly thing in that hole. So what say you?(pause) Oooh early spring? But hey, its snowing. Hey, hes gone! Hmm what do we write that down as?
See you next time!

Looking back on my wish list for WWE this year, at least one request of mine has been followed: No McMahon wives or offspring on WWE Tv. Course that may change tonight since its McMahon appreciation night. In case you don't recall, my other wishes were that K-Fed vanish from site and that JR and JBL call the Royal Rumble match. K-Fed was on tv again but thankfully he hasnt been seen since early January. JBL did call the Royal Rumble match but not with JR. So far so good. The Superbowl is next weekend, Colts vs the Bears. I picked the Colts (actually kind of out of necessity, since the person I bet on Superbowl Games with already picked the Bears to win) to win the big game, 23-10. When it comes to football I only watch the Superbowl. Other than the big game, football doesnt interest me at all. However, the snack part of watching a football game DOES interest me. Finding out I was diabetic this past year has reduced the chocolately "yumm yumm" factor in my Superbowl Snack selection. I do have some all time favorites to fall back on. (btw chocolate isnt a complete no no, several candy companies make wonderful low sugar choices if you have to have your peanut butter cup. Like me.) My main snack is nachos, with maybe a low sugar ice cream later on during the last quarter. The recipe I use: 1 package soft cheese (that one that starts with a "v"), cut into cubes for easier melting. 1 jar of salsa, your choice of brand and how hot you want it (I get Tostitos Medium Salsa) 1 bag chips of your choice. (I have Frito Scoops this time) Dump jar of Salsa into bowl with cubes of cheese that you cut up. put it in the microwave. Set the timer for five minutes. Stop it halfway through and stir the cheese making sure its melting and combining with the salsa. When its as done as you want it to be, take it out of the microwave when the bowl is cool enough to handle. Use hand protection if its till slightly hot. Divide the mixture into smaller dipping bowl, serve with your chips. Voila! Enough of this recipe stuff, I dont want to turn into Rachel Ray (satan!) here, but thats one way I enjoy the big game. Don't forget Prince will be perfoming in the half time show. I know at least one net pal of mine will be watching! Time for another cute pic of the week. Yeah, its not Zach Braff again, I'm sooo over him. This weeks obsession Jeremy Piven! I like this picture here:
Next week, it may be someone else. See you later!

There are several facts I'd like to note before diving into this review of Rocky Balboa. I saw it just this past weekend. Its the first movie I've seen since, I believe October. Whenever it was that I saw Jet Li's Fearless. Other things to note:
I had myself a girls night out to watch this movie. After a nice dinner at the KFC (I don't eat at the movies very often), I settled down to watch. First off, whoever was working the projector was off his A game that night. The movie could be seen on the curtains next to the big screen and on the area above the floor. It was kinda disctracting at times but after a while I started to ignore it (in some scenes it was more obvious than others). Rocky is a widower now, he had lost Adrian to "woman cancer". He works in a restaurant named after her. Meanwhile a new hotshot in Mason "The line" Dixon is kicking butt and taking names, but not getting a whole lot of respect. An ESPN program projects Rocky as the winner in a "what if" battle between him and Dixon. He decides he wants to get back into it, for presumably the last time. The movie is not very long, just under two hours. I mentioned I'm not a boxing fan, especially boxing movies. You may like them, but I never found them to be my liking. Anyway the main fight between Rocky and Mason Dixon kept me wonderng what was going to happen next. It takes a good story to make me interested in the outcome of a boxing match. I won't spoil the movie, you should go see it for yourself. Review: A-. By the way, the guy who plays Rockys son, is also the same guy who is in my new fave show "Heroes". Other stuff! Trailer Park: What commercials I had to look at before the movie. Epic Movie: Its like Date Movie that came out last year. You take most of the movies from last year and some that are a little older and put it in a blender. There you go. It seems to be framed mostly around The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I ask you, is that the end of creativity in Hollywood? Can they afford an original idea? I don't know! Wild Hogs: This movie is for you if you want to see Tim Allen, William H Macy, Martin Lawrence and John Travolta on motorcycles. It looks ok. At least its not Battlefield Earth: The Search for more Converts. Ghost Rider: Nic Cage (who must have made five movies last year. Nic, love you, take a break. And you too Will Ferrell. Yeah, I'm looking at you.) plays the hero (beats me) of this comic. Flaming skull guy on a motorcycle. Well the teen boys will luv it. Hopefully I will get off my keister more often to go to the movies. Its still a pretty fun experience to me. See you next blog!
