Its a tangible thing you can point to and say, "I love you this many dollars worth!"

So my sources tell me the 4400 and the Dead Zone were canceled? The Dead Zone I can understand, its place on USA's schedule the past few years has been so sporadic, there were times I assumed it had been canceled. But the 4400 was kinda interesting, though I guess even though it came first, parallels to Heroes can be made, and Heroes seemed to be better and more popular.

Saw some new casting on the G.I.Joe movie (which I still think is gonna be lame). I had heard Sienna Miller was going to be the Baroness. Snake-Eyes will be played by Ray Park, which I think works, I mean, he was Darth Maul, and has done some cool martial arts stuff in various movies. The latest news has some Korean actor named Byung-Hun Lee as Storm Shadow and Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. Well, she was in Alias, taking over for Jennifer Garner when she was all preggers, so that's also apropos since Scarlett is basically a Sydney Bristow spy type. Again, my only hope is that the movie follows the comic rather than the cartoon.

I thought this was an amusing little quiz:

Actually, I think I could take on more than that. Well, its certainly more realistic than trying to take on a baboon.

That girl is poison!

Wait, watching the critic's choice of the best movies of 2007 on VH-1, for some reason they had a commercial for the latest Bring it On movie. So the two cheerleading squads are called the Jets and the Sharks? Geez, does the demographic for that movie even know what West Side Story is?

Just here at work, and someone left a bunch of jelly belly jelly beans. Dammit, don't people know that's like crack to me? And gobbling down several handfuls of jelly beans isn't exactly healthy. But ah can't stop!

TV Commentary:

Something I wanted to say about Monday's Journeyman: ( cut for spoilers )

On Gossip Girl, its Christmas on the UES. Though isn't an all girl jailbait choir entertaining people at a school function with a rendition of "Santa Baby" kinda ccv('Inappropriate!')? That's kinda racy for a bunch of 15 year olds! Anyways, GG commentary, ( cut for spoilers )

VH-1's showing the 100 greatest songs of the 90s right now, tonight's ep is 60-40. Ah, its always fun reminscing about these old songs.

Oh, I've also been watching that Duel show in ABC. I think one of the big problems is that the contestants are a little too conservative. I mean, there are times where they'll cover all four slots when they're not sure, and while that was fine a couple of times, there were others when they could've easily eliminated a couple of those choices because they were obviously wrong. Particularly the ones where its a number of things question. You don't have to know it exactly, but a lot of times, you can just start going over it in your head, and can eliminate some of the choices simply because there are more of X than some of the choices! You're just wasting chips!

Oh, and a commercial for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune just came on, which reminds me of another thing I liked about the game from the demo. As I said, I like the cover system- I think the reason I've sucked at FPS is because I'm not actually good at running and gunning. My forte has always been at sniping and marksmanship. So, hiding, then quickly popping out and popping them in the head or a triple tap to the chest is much easier for me than the shooting and moving. I also like how the game will show you the arc the grenade will go when you throw it. I've always had problems in other games with grenades because I eyeball the arcs wrong. Its especially cool with the cover system, just stick behind cover, and if there are a bunch of enemies behind cover as well, just lob a grenade. Unfortunately, the enemies can do that to, making it exciting when they toss a grenade at you (they do a beeping countdown indicating they're about to blow up), so you're like, "Oh crap!" and have to run for another piece of cover.

I also like their clever use of the sixaxis- since there's a lot of jumping puzzles, tomb-raider style, there are times where you're having to navigate thin logs or planks. So you use the motion sensor of the control to keep your balance. Like if you're tilting right, you have to lean the controller left and balance yourself on the beam. Clever.
