Look at that, you can see the four states that border Springfield: Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky!

So Twilight Princess has finally been completed. Great (though a tad easy) final battle though I must say, I was a little disappointed with the ending. You’d think a little more would happen. Maybe I’m just spoiled by the Ocarina of Time ending. Overall I feel like the game was a gorgeous game and helluva lot of fun to play but not nearly as hard as OoT. But then maybe I’ve just gotten a lot better at games. I played Link to the Past a few months back and just flew through that game (though it helps that I played it so much I still knew the answers to a lot of the harder puzzles). Anyways, if you still haven’t picked up Zelda yet and you own a Wii, get out there and buy it. It may not upset Ocarina of Time as the best Zelda ever but it’s a phenomenal game nonetheless.

And can someone please tell me why the hell you must be a member of ESPN Insider in order to read any of the articles on their website these days? For God’s sake, you need to be an insider to read a transcript of a Bill Simmons’ chat? This is why I head on over to FoxSports of CBSsportsline for coverage of anything major. At least on those sites I’m not paying for witty commentary on the Sopranos season finale. [Update: they did take the Insider access needed off the Bill Simmons’ chat, but it’s still a ridiculous number of articles closed off for non-Insiders].

Tech advice for you (sorta): If you have an auxiliary jack in your car for an MP3 player, please, for the love of God, don’t drop $18 on a Monster iPod car cable that just plugs into your MP3 player’s headphone jack. Just buy a simple 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm (or 1/8 inch if you don’t like that pesky metric system) cable for a couple bucks at any radio shack, target or electronic store. You will save yourself $15 bucks and get the exact same result. Otherwise you are getting ripped off.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Look, I know you have to make kid friendly movies and whatnot but good gravy. This was like a bad Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Honestly, Dr. Doom might as well be the Shredder. At one point I kid you not the line “Let’s go for a spin.” is taunted as he creates a huge whirlwind. Sure it had a couple of relatively funny lines and despite all my complaints, it was miles better than the first (which still ranks somewhere around Blade Trinity as the worst comic movie ever made… though I’ve yet to see Ghost Rider or Elektra). It’s so sad that the best FF movie is still The Incredibles. Maybe I’m just pissed off that I came for Galactus and all I got was a stupid cloud. It wasn’t even purple.

News and Notes:

If you haven’t read the first arc of Joss Whedon’s Buffy Season 8, you’re missing out. I’m just so sad that at this rate, the man is never coming back to TV or movies.

How great was Entourage’s Season 4 premiere? The last scene with Drama yelling out his one line in the movie had me rolling.

Well at least the Mets can beat the Twins. Seriously, the hell is going on guys? I know we’re completely reliant on our bats, but the past 2 weeks have been ridiculous.

Until next time:

“I'm not moving in with her, Drama, I'm just staying there 'til we leave to shoot the movie.”

“Yeah, and that girl from Silence of The Lambs is just "staying'" in that well.”

The Coen's are going old school

Bout damn time. Great trailer for their upcoming "No Country For Old Men" Very much them getting back to their "Blood Simple" roots. Definitely excited for this one.

I'd Come Up With A Funny Title But I'm Too Busy Laughing My Ass Off

-eonline

This is, I wanna say anomalous, but I'm going to go with weird.

Mustard – now I want the burger to go with it.

So Sarah Silverman’s Paris Hilton jokes while hosting the MTV Movie Awards? Slightly awkward, no? Still at least she had the balls not to pander to the crowd. The pre-show was almost enough to make me not want to see the upcoming Transformers movie. And Pirates 2 winning best movie? Further proof American youth is made up of worthless peons.

Shrek the Third – What happened? Really disappointing. Couldn’t the writers have come up with something a little better than that? Sure it had a couple of funny moments (Gingerbread Man’s life flashing before his eyes was brilliant and Snow White happy animal song suddenly turning into The Immigrant Song was phenomenal) but I feel like it was one gag set piece into another. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of characters squeezed in just for the sake of having them (why bring Seth Rogan and Ian McShane in if you’re only going to give them 3 lines?). Maybe Shrek has just worn out its welcome and its humorous take on pop culture has reached its saturation point. Not looking forward to the impending train wreck of Shrek 4.

Have you seen list of composers for the new Smash Bros game? It’s a freaking Who’s Who of the video game industry. Sure it doesn’t necessarily mean characters from all these games will be in it but it sure gets the mind a-wondering. A Chrono Trigger character? A guy can dream.

News and Notes:

The overused buzz word for this month: Green Technology.

Entourage Season 3 is over…boooo! Entourage Season 4 starts in two weeks…yay!

How bout those Ducks?

You know if Roger Clemens doesn’t hurry things up he’s going to miss the Yankee ship before it completely burns to the ground.

Until next time:

“You ever hear of the theory that if you kill a butterfly in the past, it can drastically alter the present? Well who knows what else we changed.”

“Tonight on the Tonight Show, movie star George Clooney.”

“Oh, he's good.”

“Comedian Dave Chappelle.”

“He's funny, like him.”

“And musician Harry Connick Jr.”

“Wow, what a show.”

“And now, ladies and gentleman, heeeeeeeeeere's Chevy!”

“Oh god Brian, we messed up bad! We messed up real bad!”

Cary Brothers

Ok, this has got to be rectified: people, the man's name is Cary Brothers. It's not like the Super Mario Brothers (though if you believe the movie they're names were actually Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. And Koopa was an evolved T-Rex. The f$%^ was Nintendo thinking?) Cary is his first name. Brothers is his last name. There's only one of him. And no, I don't know why he's singing about going to Canada. But apparently it's a simple place.
