Instead of seeing Clerks II last week, I ended up seeing My Super Ex-girlfriend which turned out to have been a bad choice. I wanted to go catch Clerks II this past weekend but my girlfriend decided that it was her turn to pick movies after My Super Ex-girlfriend was such a disappointment. So we saw Miami Vice instead. Below are some brief thoughts on both movies

Back in 2001, I was a Kevin Smith fan through and through. Then Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back happened, and I got disenchanted. The much-ballyhooed "retirement" of Jay and Bob was just too much, threatening to self-reference itself into oblivion. When I first heard of Clerks II, I was skeptical. I figured the well had run dry for the "View Askew-niverse" and that it would be a bloated mess. I'm here to admit that I was wrong, and that I actually have found Clerks II to be my favorite movie of the summer. It made me laugh, stimulated my nostalgia center, and made me exponentially more uneasy with men named Kelly than I already was. Thanks for the smile you gave me, Kevin. Now, please, lose those crazy mid-90s style eyeglasses. They bug me with their largeness. Thanks in advance.

Took this shot just now for, so that she could see what the Captain Jack Sparrow plush looks like. These were being given away as one of the toys Mcdonald's was placing in Happy Meals. By the time I realized they had them (since I only stop into Mcdonald's once or twice a year), they were long out of them. Sorry Jess'.;)

The popular notion is that junior QB Chad Henne suffered a sophmore slump last season and that he needs to bounce back in 2006. However, a comparison of his statistics from his first two seasons as U of M's signal caller reveals that Chad's performance in his sophmore season rivaled if not equaled that of his freshman season. Although the Wolverines as a whole did much better in 2004 (9-3 overall, Big Ten co-champs, trip to the Rose Bowl) than they did in 2005 (7-5 overall, 3rd place tie in Big Ten, trip to the Alamo Bowl), Henne's performance was rather consistent during the two seasons. Just take a look:

But even more exciting than these potential contracts is this: the video crew from Discovery Channel who develops Shark Week is visiting next month to help him capture the necessary underwater footage. Unlike in previous filming episodes, this time the group plans to use two cages -- one with the repellent, and one with a camera crew -- to film the Sharkskunker in action. That is, if they can find sharks... and keep them around. "

I'm watching Hugh Laurie on Inside the Actor's Studio and a fan just asked the question, "Do you think House belongs in a relationship with Cameron, Cuddy, or dare I say it, Dr. Wilson?" Hugh says, "If the show runs long enough I think he'll run through all of them. I think any of those relationships would be believable. House and Wilson... I'm not sure how Robert [Sean Leonard] would feel about that, but... I'm game!" Dude, he is so the most awesome person ever. How amazing is that? FOR SERIOUS. HE TOTALLY SEES THE LOVE.HOUSE/WILSON OTP FOR RLZ !!!!! 1and Hugh really CAN play the piano! That's not quite as exciting as the other bit of news, but it made me happy. James Lipton freaks me out.

Earlier this morning, "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling attended a press conference ahead of her charity reading with Stephen King and John Irving. At the press conference Ms. Rowling commented that she will have to go through a bereavement process when finished writing the last book and said that some fans will "... will loathe it, some people will love it" when asked about the two characters that would not survive the series.

The new 9/11 movie "World Trade Center", directed by Oliver Stone (JFK, Born on the Fourth of July) has created some controversy. Many people say that it is "too soon" to make a film about such an event, and many others say that this film shows a good perspective on the event.

In addition to the changes in nomenclature of certain schools with Native American nicknames is coming another change: the BCS national championship game has chosen to become anonymous. Though the game will be played in the metro Phoenix area this year, it will not be the Fiesta Bowl (that bowl will, as Joepa notes below, still be a BCS bowl, and will take place a week before the title game). It will simply be called "the BCS National Championship Game."

Saw this on's LJ and I had to share it on mine, just in case there are other fans of this series out there. Nicole Kidman has been cast as Mrs. Coulter. Also, they are considering Paul Bettany for Lord Asriel. I'm really excited about the casting of Nicole. I think she's a wonderful actress and can do justice to the role. Paul may make a good Lord Asriel too. I like him, but I'm not sure if I quite see him in the role. I always pictured someone more... dashing? Larger? Not quite sure.

After looking over the guest list for Wizard World Chicago, I'm officially pissed. Not only are they having Thomas Jane, who did a freaking incredible job Vaing Frank Castle in The Punisher game (as well as starred in the recent movie), but also on the list are Kristen Bell - the hottie who plays Veronica Mars on Veronica Mars, Joyce Dewitt - my favorite roommate from Three's Company (Janet), Erica Durance - the 2nd newest Lois Lane from Smallville, and Dirk Benedict - Templeton "Face" Peck from The A-team. DARN YOU, WIZARD WORLD!!! DARN YOU TO HECK!!!

Congratulations should go out to the Los Angeles Clippers for winning their first playoff series in thirty years. Too bad they have never won a second round playoff series and too bad they will not win one this year because they are playing a superior team in the Phoenix Suns. On the bright side they shouldn't have to wait another thirty years to win another playoff series.

Techdirt brings into focus one of the largest problems in the net neutrality debate, not the issues themselves, rather it's the people involved and the lies they like to sling. An example of this is certainly the number of lobbyists that are being looked to as'experts'and getting their opinions published as such. One specific example was a recent piece published in the Baltimore Sun by Mike Mccurry, a lobbyist working for AT&T who claimed that with new legislation working for net neutrality Google wouldn't have to pay a dime. In response, Techdirt has suggested that Mccurry should swap telco bills with Google, somehow I doubt it will happen.

While my sister was looking through some random asian movie site there was a link to this trailor: http: // www.youtube.com/watch? v = jvdscylbsnmits the trailor for "The Departed" its actually Infernal Affair English version. Many of the scenes are quite similar to the Asian version, to the apartment top discussions, and the part where the boss breaks Tony Leungs (Leonardo Dicaprio in this version) arm cast to check if his the mole... Jack Nichloson plays the Bad Boss, while Leo plays the cop in the gang and Matt Damon plays the mole in the Police... quite confusing but if you have seen the asian version you'll get it.

After all the hype regarding Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's romance and subsequently upcoming marriage, I had high hopes for this movie. Sad to say it didn't live up to my expectations. I found them tiresome the way they argued and tried to show up the other person in their break up. We all do screaming arguments with our better (?) halves and I don't need to see that while I am trying to relax for the day. Rather boring and uneventful. In the end, they broke up so what's the deal?

The core premise of the movie, what if your crazy ex-girlfriend had super powers, seemed like an interesting premise and I expected good things from a movie starring Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman. The movie started off well enough with a number of funny scenes including a few about sex with super heroes. However the movie peaked somewhere around the halfway mark in the scene where Uma Thurman spies on Luke Wilson and Ana Faris (the girl from the Scary Movie movies) having sex and throws a shark at them through the bedroom window.

Reaction: I donâ € ™ t think Atlanta got great value out of Shelden Williams at # 5. I still think they could have used a point guard like Randy Foye, but understand they want to replace Zaza Pachulia in their front court. Iâ € ™ m not a big fan of Solomon Jones, especially considering players like Paul Davis, Alexander Johnson, Paul Millsap, and James Augustine â € “ all potential first rounders â € “ were available.

Since the king woke up late, we arrived late at KLCC around 1pm. He wanted to watch movie. I'd rather not watch and spend all the time in Kinokuniya which he hates... WTF! Since there aren't many good movies available or most of them i've watched in England... whatever... I've watched Slither, Lucky something (with Lindsay Lohan.. forgot the title.. boy i keep forgetting stuff..). Lake House is just a remake of korean movie II Mari which i found a bore since it's slow. So i don't wan na watch the english ver. But i bet it's better because you've got Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock! He soooo wanted to watch Pirates of Carribean 2. Most of the reviews i heard regarding it said it's sucker than the 1st one... Whatever i don't give a damn. I wanted to watch The Dorm, thai's thriller.

David Wells laid a stinker and was pulled in the fifth after allowing two home runs to Casey Blake (different at bats). With Peralta at first, and the Sox down two, tomorrow ’ s scheduled starter Kyle Snyder came in to pretty much keep the Indians in the double digits. Snyder answered with 4.3 innings of one hit, six strike out ball.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is rumored to have been offered the role of Penguin. Since I know he reads my blog, let me take a moment to say, "TAKE THE PART!" I've been a fan of his since Twister. Every role I see him in has been brilliantly played. He was probably the best part of Scientology III... errr... I mean Mission Impossible III. In worse news, Ryan Phillippe is being considered for the role of Harvey Dent. Sorry, Ryan, I'm not your biggest fan (I know he reads my blog too).

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star Daniel Radcliffe will bare all onstage in his West End, London debut. The teenager and his Potter co-star Richard Griffiths have been confirmed as the stars of the revival of Peter Shaffer's controversial play Equus. Radcliffe will play a disturbed youth obsessed with blinding horses in the production and his publicist Vanessa Davies confirms he will strip for the role. She says, "This is anextraordinary play and, yes, there is a scene of nudity in it, butthat's not what the play is about." Griffiths, who plays Harry Potter'svillainous Uncle Vernon in the fantasy films, has been confirmed toplay a psychiatrist in the play, which will open in March.

Mark Mulder, Barry Zito, and Jason Schmidt are the only three that are above the run of the mill pitchers the Phillies already had in-house. It is safe to say, that those pitchers will likely command the type of long-term, bloated, un-finacially flexible contracts with no-trade clauses that Gillick -- and now Phillies phans -- are loathe to hand out. Sure, trades are a possibility, but if Gillick couldn't land a top-tier starting pitcher with Bobby Abreu, who is left in the fold that will? Chase Utley, Ryan Howard would, but they are -- and should be -- deemed untouchable.

Reaction: Iâ € ™ m not a big fan of the Shawne Williams selection. Danny Granger has the 3 spot solidified for years to come. I donâ € ™ t understand where Williams fits. The James White acquisition is a good one. He is the type of player that will thrive in the NBA. If he doesnâ € ™ t develop the rest of his game, he will still get by on athleticism alone (a la Desmond Mason).

And wouldn't you know it... Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Oscar for Best Actor, for his portrayal of Truman Capote. Uwe and I were both happy he won it. He's such a great actor and gives such a great performance in every role he plays. (His next role will be the villain in the next Mission Impossible movie. Normally I wouldn't bother going to see a Tom Cruise action flick, but I may just go see it because Philip Seymour Hoffman is in it.)

Reaction: Randy Foye will go a long way towards replacing Marco Jaric as a starter. I have a feeling Minnesota took Foye to please KG with a NBA ready player. I liked the drafting of Craig Smith; I donâ € ™ t care that he is undersized, he will be a beast off the bench. He is just so strong. I canâ € ™ t help but thinking what he would be like if he was 6-11 (I canâ € ™ t imagine the hype that would be surrounding him) even if he had produced the same stats in college. I canâ € ™ t believe Iâ € ™ m rooting against someone just because of their name, but I hope "LM" never makes the League (just to save the guys that have to write out the box scores some trouble). That is a long name.

New England Patriots: Much as I would like to see Tom Brady get run over by a bus, the fact of the matter is that, as long as he is at the helm of the offense, and Bill Belichick is at the helm of the defense, there ’ s a good chance the Patriots are going to be contenders. Sure, they lost Adam Vinatieri. But kickers don ’ t win ballgames, do they?
