Happy Holidays with Captain Picard and The Avengers
Well, it’s that time of year where we say to ourselves “how the hell did this come around so quick again” and “I didn’t achieve one damn thing I set out to do this year.”

The New “Star Wars Holiday Special” (Video)
If you’re a “Star Wars” fan then you know of the original infamous “Star Wars Holiday Special.”
Someone back in the late seventies thought it was a good idea to mix “Star Wars” with a variety show format. And it aired only one time on CBS on Friday, November 17, 1978 to horrible reviews. Even worse, it preempted “Wonder Woman” and the “Incredible Hulk.” Noooooooooo! (That’s what Vader said.)
“Home Alone’s” Kevin McCallister 25 Years Later (Video)
“Home Alone” was a break-out comedy back in 1990 about an eight year-old boy accidentally left ‘home alone’ while his family flew to Paris for Christmas vacation.
As his mother struggled to get back home to her abandoned son, young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), thinking his families disappearance was his fault, had to learn to fend for himself. Not only did he have to learn to do the shopping, cooking, and laundry, but he had to overcome his fear of the basement furnace, avoid the scary old man next door, and fight off two psychotic robbers from breaking into this home.

Watch One Of “SNL’s” Funniest Sketch in Years (Video)
I’m an occasional watcher of “Saturday Night Live,” but I usually only tune in if they have an interesting guest hosting that week. And unfortunately, I do find myself fast-forwarding through big chunks of the show. I’ll watch the opening guest monologue and weekend update most of the way through. But a lot of the comedy sketches can be cringe-inducing.
The “X-Men: Apocalypse” Trailer And Poster Have Fallen Upon Us (With Screenshots and More)
Twentieth Century Fox has released a trailer for next years superhero extravaganza (there are a lot of those next year) entitled “X-Men: Apocalypse” – the latest film in the ever growing “X-Men” franchise.
Shia LaBeouf’s Bag of Shame (The Harry Hamlin Edition)
I haven’t done a ‘Shia LaBeouf’s Bag of Shame‘ in quite a long while. But I thought it was time to pull it out of moth balls for this little diddy.
King Shark Joins “The Flash” – ‘We’re Going To Need A Bigger Speedster’
The Villain ‘King Shark’ made his way to the CW’s “The Flash” this past Tuesday in the episode entitled “The Fury of Firestorm.”
The graphics were actually quite good for a small screen show. So much so, that the folks over at “The Flash” said that this scene was about all they could afford to do. So don’t get your hopes up on seeing a lot more of this fishy villain. Though I would be quite disappointed if he didn’t pop up again at some point in the series run.
And that being said, I think it goes without saying…
