West Wing is the best

Well, I must say, if this ever happened in real life, I might just crap myself. A spoiler follows.

Quickie: Almost Salinas

Almost Salinas is an independent film written and directed by Terry Green, starring John Mahoney. Its unimpressive numbers from the opening weekend were no big surprise; I don’t recall very many indie flicks hitting it big in recent years. I’ll make this quick because I’m tired after seeing the 7:50 show tonight. Basically, I thought the film was interesting, but it won’t make the big box office numbers to stay in theaters for very long.

X-2 comments

So, I just got back from one of the 11pm showings of X-2 at AMC. All I have to say is that it was pretty good, although some would argue that it wasn’t “pure.” Some people just have to realize that the comics, the cartoons, the video games, and the movies are all different forks based on the same characters. Some spoilers follow, so beware.

Revolution is not an AOL Keyword

So, I saw this linked from /., and the geek in me told me I must post it myself. Of course, I’ll give props to the original post on bIPlog. Revolution is not an AOL Keyword was posted by Eddan Katz way back on 20 March 2003, reinterpreting Gil Scott-Heron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. The following is a copy of the original post, including links (thank to Eddan for posting to the public domain using the Creative Commons PDD).

Another weekend comes to a close

So, it’s Sunday night and

• Friday’s “night at the theater” turned out to be better than I thought it would be
• Vegging on Saturday ended up to be a lot of Vice City action
• Dinner with an old college suitemate was pretty good
• I finally did some of the laundry I’ve been putting off for two or three weeks now
• I didn’t see the Simpsons, and I know I’ll probably get some flack for it at work
