So how bad has Heroes been? I mean sweet Odin's raven, I can't stop myself from laughing whenever Hayden Panattiere is on screen. The stilted dialog and painful attempts to emote are of a level unseen since Shannon Elizabeth in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Hayden isn't completely to blame. The best parts of the show are Hiro and Ando and their in friggin' Japanese! Even Kristen Bell looks like she's wondering if maybe she should have taken up that offer to be on Lost. Never has a show had so many characters and actors that I actually like and yet I find myself hating the actual show itself. Damn you Tim Kring!
Meanwhile Chuck has finally grown to the point where I almost can't tell Josh Schwartz still misses Adam Brody. Almost. Adding Rachel Bilson to the mix for a few episodes didn't help.
All these people complaining that the Golden Compass is anti-Catholic. Just because the author is atheist and the books are essentially about a quest to overthrow the Church and heaven? Let's keep some perspective here. I mean Kevin Smith actually killed God in Dogma.... (s)he got better.
So will Smash Bros Brawl be the greatest video ever? I don't know. But it has pixelated 8-bit Excitebikes as weapons. How phenominal is that? Not to mention it has a character whose super power turns him into this:
Dah dah dah! Wario Man!
So has anyone else heard of shockheaded Peter? It's apparently a popular German children's story about a kid whose mother tells him not to suck his thumb. When he doesn't heed her, a tailor comes along with scissors and cuts off his thumbs! What the f$%# is wrong with the Germans!? Seriously, this is what you read to your kids? I would have nightmares for an effing month if my mom read me this story when I was young.

So the Irish limp off into the sunset 3-9... so... how bout them Giants?
Mets in the running for Johan Santana? But what will they have to give up?
Until next time:
"Look carefully, ladies; this is your future."
"Is it vodka?"
"Water."
"As in Russian for vodka?"
