Wow, how many years has it been? Like 12? Well now a new generation can learn cuss words from my favorite Italian family (except for the Micelli’s from Who's the Boss? ).  New season starts next week.

Thank goodness; with Project Runway ending I didn't know what I was going to do with myself.

Oh yes, it's time for some Mixed Martial Arts action, a la the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The biggest fight the UFC has ever had is upon us tomorrow night, when Randy Couture and Chuck Liddel go at for the third time.

I will be at Hooters in Hollywood if anyone wants to join the fun and screaming at the screen.

Run, no haul ass, to your local movie theater and watch Serenity. And not just because it has an “A” rating on Yahoo after 11,000 reviews, or an 81% on RottenTomatoes, or the two thumbs up by Ebert and Roeper, or how much my wife and I loved it, do it because it is the right thing to do.

Serenity is a spin off from the very short-lived television show, Firefly, which aired on Fox several years ago. Joss Whedon, creater of Firefly, made 14 episodes which progressed down a perfect path of story-arc and character development, which Fox muddled by airing the episodes out of order. Airing the two hour pilot episode 4th confused fans and only hurt the ratings and after only airing 11 episodes, it was pulled.

A good friend of mine writes for One Tree Hill on the WB. I don't know many writers, so it is a pleasure reading anything from her - even her emails. I get the same contentment reading a few paragraphs from Stacy as reading a software book by Joel Spolsky (even when I disagree with him). I don't watch One Tree Hill, but when Stacy wises up and moves towards a more Space Opera - Firefly/SG1/Star Trek/Galactica - show, I will be in heaven. That said, I thought those wondering how the inner workings of writing for TV would enjoy her last email. So with her permission, viola!

For awhile I was writing about celebrity sitings around town, but it was getting stupid. Every week there was another one, and I just didn't care enough to write about it.

But over the last week, I parked next to Donnie Darko heading into Ralphs for some late night shopping. It was odd because he was staring at me as I pulled up giving me a “whats up?” I was like “do I know this guy” followed by, “that looks like jake gyllen…” Then a couple days ago I almost ran down Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee a.k.a Rudy. I was on my way to go reserve my Xbox 360 when he was crossing the street. While swerving to avoid him, I was like “That looks like that goonie…” That would of been hot running over that hobbit. I mean, not even Sauron could do that, and he had more than a Prius.

This question was posed on Hacking Netflix because Becky just blogged how she has watched 200 already this year.

My count so far was 96. In comparison, I only watch about 3 shows on TV a week totalling about 2.5 hrs on TiVo, and I have been to the theater about 3 times.

That would put me at about 21 movies per month, 5.3 per week and about .7 movies per day.
