Me neither and, just like the trailer for 'Inception', gives me no reason to see the movie.

At least Michael Bay's trailers blow stuff up.

]]> <![CDATA[Terminator Rights Are Sold... But Not To A Movie Studio]]> Is anyone strangely excited at this news as I am. I absolutely am infatuated with The Sarah Connor Chronicles. All I would want from this franchise is Josh Friedman and the crew to continue where they left off and make the two planned seasons (3&4) of the series. A movie studio not taking Terminator and probably rebooting it is wonderful. I know Pacificor planned this and they have further plans for the rights to Terminator but what will it be?

This is certainly more ingenious but the cited one was funnier and it just dealt with credits.

That way he'll be likable for the entire movie, even after he starts smacking his wife around.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Chris Braak: Well, obviously, that's part of it, and maybe a bigger part than I'm giving it credit for. But there's also just been a blurring of arbitrary demarcations that the mainstream used to abide by more stringently. I don't know that it's coincidence that the whole Free to Be... You and Me crowd, which we are part of, came of age around the time that people realized it was OK to like dragons and spaceships, but also exercise and talking to girls.

]]> <![CDATA[Has The Next Stargate SG-1 Movie Been Cancelled?]]> That really sucks. SGU has no sense of awe, adventure or fun of the original SG-1 or SGA. Those wrong people in the wrong place have a strong reality show feeling all over them. I realize that the change of pace might be fun for the writers, but as a viewer I am hugely disappointed in the new series. I don't even Tivo them anymore and could not care less what happens to the characters. Maybe when SGU slips in the ratings and gets cancelled after the second season, THEN MGM would realize the potential with SGA and SG-1 movies.

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Vs. The Easy Way Out]]> I found myself growing tired of the Hannah arc already--it's interesting to me that despite the evolution of the sitcom and dramedy formula over the last 40 years (and especially from the mid-80's to present), the same concepts find themselves thrown tirelessly at the viewers.

Take "Friends"--it took the better part of a decade for the "Ross and Rachel" story to end up where everyone knew it would, yet we endured painfully obnoxious turn after painfully obnoxious turn, often to find ourselves spun into the same position.

"Chuck" will be no different--we all know the vehicle of the show is the "geek chic" appeal, but the only true passengers in this coupe are Chuck and Sarah, with Lester and Casey riding in the cramped "backseat" for support. Chuck and Sarah will end up together, because that's how it should go--logically or otherwise, it's what we expect.

What I find amusing is Kreuk's departure from her own mainstay of a Sarah-type role that she was destined to be ousted from since the start... only to find herself in a similar position with another new character who will likely be another jettisoned cast member from the Superman universe.

These points aside, I hope the show is capable of maintaining the viewership long enough to get to that point of closure and completion with Chuck and Sarah without having to succumb to a ratings-bullied clumsy event.

]]> <![CDATA[Chuck Vs. The Easy Way Out]]> The show is still a good show to me-- but Im disappointed that Chuck and Sarah and Hannah are doing the Smallville love triangle thing. I can see them spinning wheels and going no where for years on that formula-- and how could Chuck and Sarah admit true love to each other and in two episodes, they're already off with other people? Oh, yeah, -- so we can stay safe with the love triangle formula. Lazy. It would have been more challenging and interesting to me if this had taken a Mr and Mrs Smith direction... Chuck being Chuck and Sarah being Sarah-- undercover as a "real" couple, making it work against the backdrop of all this danger and spy business... big guy could be pissed all the time cause his cover would probably be playing their landscaper or something... he's got the lawn mower shed in the yard full of weapons with the underground head quarters... Routh could be his buddy from work who picks him up every morning like Arnie in True Lies... it would be great, I tell ya. Bring me in as a consultant so we can hook this thing up-- :)

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Josh Wimmer: Well, I think that part of the reason that it's gotten cooler--and I think it's been faster in the last ten years than it has in the last twenty--is because of how easily geek groups are able to network with each other; it makes us a relevant, peer-reinforced demographic, rather than a scattering of unconsidered outliers.
