“Saturday Night Live” Marvel Parody Starring Chris Pratt (Video)

Marvel's Star Wars Starring Chris PrattChris Pratt served as host on Saturday Night Live’s 40th season opener last night (Sep. 27, 2014). As always, the show was pretty painful to watch. In terms of cutting edge comedy, SNL is far behind the times and stuck in some kind of vanilla factory. It’s too safe and catered. The show needs a shake up from top to bottom, and then, and only then do I believe it could turn into something magnificently hilarious. It needs to lead the way once again. And, yes, of course they hit gold from time to time. If they didn’t, the show wouldn’t still be on the air. But let’s face it, the bad does outweigh the good.

R.I.P. Stern Show’s ‘Eric the Actor’

Eric the Actor and Howard SternI’ve been listening to Howard Stern since 1997. Probably one of the only reasons I have Sirius Radio is so I can occasionally tune him in. Though I don’t consider myself a super fan, I have found myself greatly entertained by him over the years. But this article isn’t about Howard Stern. It’s about one of the members of his Wack Pack (essentially a group of misfits that have become recurring guests on his show over the years).

Batmobile in Action – New Video Footage & Pics from “Batman v Superman”

Batman batmobileI present to you some more video and various street shots of the new Batmobile from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” 

You know, no matter how many times I say that title, I hate it more and more each time.  It’s just not growing on me.  Not the “Batman v Superman” part.  Though I really hate the ‘v.’  Just say ‘vs.”  It’s the “Dawn of Justice” part that grates on me.  It just sounds so passive aggressive.  And I hate passive aggressive.

More aerial photos have popped up of the Millennium Falcon and some random X-Wing Fighters from the upcoming sequel “Star Wars Episode VII.”  It’s the film most likely to dethrone “Avatar” as the biggest grossing film of all time. Yup, I said it!  And I stand by it.

Avoiding Cylons with a Vintage “Battlestar Galactica” 1978 TV Guide Article

Battlestar GalacticaBears… Beets… Battlestar Galactica!  Frack yeah!

Long before we had Miami Vice play Commander Adama, who led a rag-tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest to a shining planet known as Earth, we had Bonanza occupying the very same role. Or respectfully, I should say Edward James Olmos played the role more recently, but the role was originated by the now departed Lorne Greene. Greene gave a more fatherly portrayal of the overburdened Commander whereas Olmos performance was a bit more militaristically grounded and less approachable (and grumpier). And don’t get me wrong, I loved Olmos’ portrayal. He played it just perfectly for the reboot.
