Saturday Night Live Season Preview

Everyone has been saying that SNL has been dying a long death for about 10 years now ever since Molly Shannon started smelling her armpits and that was considered funny. But I continue to watch it every season. You know why? I regret not ever watching it in the really good days with Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, David Spade, and the list goes on and on.

I hope and pray that I am going to be …

Conan to replace Leno

I heard on the radio today that Conan O’Brien is the announced successor to Jay Leno when he retires in 2009. I love Conan, and can hardly envision him in that role of Late Night host. But talk about over hyped, it was all over the TV tonight. It’s five years! They interviewed everyone from Mrs. Brady to Conan’s socks. What can ya do, that’s Hollywood.

Catwoman (2004)

I knew as soon as previews came out for this movie that I would have to see it for cheap because even the trailers made it
look stupid. But in some respects, you have gotta give this movie props for making it through 10 years of cast and directorial changes, out of development hell to the big screen.

I think though that was kind of the point. The audience after Batman Returns has long since past.

Movie at Castleton Arts on the Northside

My friend Christine Mulligan, who I met on the Public Relations board for church, and I went up to Castleton Arts Movie theater on the northside today. I had never been, it was a cool little three screen theater with a nice little lobby. We saw “Shaun of the Dead” which was a hilarious movie. Go and see what else I had to say about the movie in the movies section.

Cast Away (2000)

I cannot remember a movie that Tom Hanks has done that I didn’t love. I saw Cast Away soon after it came out, and thought,
cool movie, but probably won’t ever watch it again.

Tom Hanks get stranded on a desert island after his plane crashes into the ocean. He is left for dead, and seems to not be able to survive. But after four years, he is still hanging on and with his

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Those freaking Brits.

Although gruesome at parts, this movie was so hilarious my face hurt. With everything you could expect from British humor minus a movie that revolved around vulgar activity, Shaun of the Dead is a movie with perfect timing. When it doesn’t seem like it can get any worse for a loser electronics manager, it does. His girlfriend breaks up with him, his step dad is breathing down his neck, and his

Opra gives away a car to every audience member in her season opener!

Oh man, did anyone see what happened this week? You always see the commercials for Opra, and the women are always screaming. Mad TV even did a parody of the fact that she finds these really overly excited women. But this time, maybe they have a reason.

I guess Opra found audience members who were all a little down on their luck, and well, gave them a car! She gave her whole stinking audience a car, every member. Pretty crazy. Letterman even did a …
