I Definitely Have To Visit This Bookstore!

Back in Season 3 of Highlander: The Series, in the episode titled "Methos," I was first made aware of this little bookshop in Paris called Shakespeare and Company. And I thought to myself: now there's an interesting bookstore I wish I could spend a whole day in! Of course, it was made even cooler by the fact that, in the show, it happened to be the daytime cover of the Watcher watching over Methos. A fact the villain Immortal, Kalas, exploits to his sinister advantage. It's also where the now infamous Watcher Chronicles were archived and backed up on CD-ROM (a duplicate of which was hidden away in one of the stacks, too!)


Anyway, now that I'm going to Paris in 2 weeks, you can guarantee that this will be on the top of my list of places to visit. In fact, we'll be within walking distance from our hotel, as it turns out the store is located nearby on rue de la Bûcherie near Place St. Michel (and directly across the Seine from Notre Dame).


Check out this video on Youtube which explores this wonderful gem with the store's manager (and the owner's daughter), Sylvia Whitman. Unfortunately I wasn't able to embed the video, so you'll have to click on the link to view this.


This place is legendary in the annals of English-lit history. Can't wait to go!

I Just Luv Me Some Aisha Tyler!

Just finished watching her comedy show: Aisha Tyler Is Lit: Live At The Fillmore. She was absolutely hilarious! Her humor was quite impressive, especially since she carries it through for almost 90 minutes. A much truncated version was just aired on Comedy Central a week ago or so, but I've got the full uncut version on DVD. I highly recommend this to everyone, especially fans of Aisha.

Here's a hilarious music video of her song "No Ass At All" which was included at the beginning of the special. Check it out -- it had me rolling! :)

This Season of BSG is FRAKKIN Awesome!!!

Currently, Sci-Fi Channel is running the last episodes of what is definitely one of my top 3 favorite sci-fi shows of all time -- Battlestar Galactica. And the last two episodes in particular have been good on a level no show in existence has been for me. I mean BSG has always been right at the cutting edge of great genre television, but they far outdid themselves with the two-parter that just aired. And here's a clip to show you why:

Seriously, I get major goosebumps from this scene. It's just so damn awesome. The episode was a major roller coaster ride of emotion. So beautifully written -- and acted!

P.S. -- There's been word that this clip has been regional blocked for some viewers. Let me know if you can't access it.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

Watchmen Viral Trailer - Oh Hells Yeah!!!

As seems to be the trend these days, a few viral trailers have been making their way online in anticipation of the official release of the hotly anticipated Watchmen film, coming out exactly one month from now. Viral trailers, for those who don't know, are part of a genre film's marketing campaign, illustrating often secondary and background info about the main story with footage not actually a part of the official film. For the movie Cloverfield, the viral trailers showed the events leading up to the first appearance of the giant monster.

Anyway, here is a cool one about the Keene Act, a fictitious Congressional bill passed in the alternate history version of 1977 in which the Watchmen universe takes place. The Keene Act made vigilantism illegal, thereby branding public heroes like the Watchmen outlaws overnight. It goes without saying that this is probably only of interest to fans of the graphic novel, since newcomers not familiar with The Watchmen probably won't get the context before seeing the film.



Damn, I so want to watch this movie RIGHT NOW!!! March 6th can't come soon enough.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

Mmm, Suddenly I'm Hungry!

It's no secret that successful sci-fi writer John Scalzi loves his bacon. After all, we're talking about the man behind the now infamous Bacon Cat incident. And because he's such a fine connoisseur of the delicious breakfast meat, it's natural that he would post the following video up on his outrageously popular blog, Whatever.



Thank goodness for shows like this that show you how things are made. Sure, the knowledge will never save your life in a tough situation, or unlock the secrets of the universe or anything. But damn if it's not entertaining nonetheless. And come on, who did not get hungry for some juicy, nicely sizzled bacon right now? Okay, true, if you have a phobia of pork products, or perhaps meat in general, this probably didn't help matters any. But despite the gross factor of seeing skin ripped off slabs of meat, or use of the the shudder-inducing term "pork bellies" repeatedly, I have to admit I ran out and brought a pound of uncooked* bacon immediately after watching this yesterday.

*This video was cool and all, but seriously . . . who the hell buys pre-cooked bacon? That is just WRONG on so many levels. It violates some fundamental, basic tenet of baconess, I'm sure.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

Fraggle Rock, Redux

Earlier in the month, I wrote this entry on (among other things) the 80s Jim Henson show, "Fraggle Rock." Some of you may know the show (click on the link if you want to see the intro video again). Anyway, at work today, one of my co-workers shared a video "parody" done on Adult Swim.

I swear, I was in SO much pain trying not to laugh out loud at my desk. I thought I was going to piss myself! The video is, naturally, tons more funny if you've seen even just a few minutes of the show. But even if you haven't, the humor is pretty straight-forward.

Heh, heh . . . damn, I'm still feeling the residule giggly effects of this. Adult Swim is AWESOME!

*EDIT* I removed the video because the sourcing was causing some buggy issues with the page. So if you want to see it, go directly to it by clicking here.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

Mark Wahlberg Responds

Last week I included a video clip of an SNL skit called "Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals," where Andy Samberg impersonates the actor and his distinctive acting style. Well, Marky Mark was none too happy and blasted the show for being unfunny, among other things. Well, duh! SNL has never really been all that funny. But it has its moments. I thought the skit was pretty hilarious myself, but whatever.

Anyway, apparently Mark is in on the joke, too. For he showed up on this past weekend's SNL to set matters right. Check it out for yourself. I'm posting the original skit first, followed by the *real* Mark Wahlberg's reaction on the set of the show.

File This Under The Stupid But Funny Category

I'm a long-time watcher of Saturday Night Live. It's hit or miss most times, but occasionally they come up with stuff that is genuinely side-splitting hilarious. Around 3 years ago they started airing "Digital Shorts," spearheaded by cast newcomer Andy Samberg. The first short was a collaboration between Samberg and fellow castmate, Chris Parnell. "Lazy Sunday" (seen in the video link above) aired during the time that The Chronicles of Narnia hit theaters, and is about the quest of two friends in NYC to go to a Sunday afternoon showing of the movie . . . done in the style of a Beastie Boys-like rap video. :-)

Anyway, last weekend another Digital Short aired which I found strangely hilarious. In it, Samberg pulls of a funny impersonation of Mark Wahlberg from some of his earlier movies. Not as funny as Lazy Sunday, but I got a good chuckle out of it. See for yourself:



This kid is definitely smoking something. I don't know where he and the writers come up with this stuff!Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

This Commercial Always Gives Me Goosebumps

I was just thinking about Michael Jordan this morning, the GREATEST athlete of all time. Not just basketball, but all sports PERIOD. And I immediately had to find and watch what I consider to be the best Nike commercial of all time. These street ballers give Mike the biggest respect, recreating his most memorable moments on the court. It's truly uncanny how well they recreated these moments, right down to the body language and facial expressions -- it's sick! Click on the space below to watch for yourself.



The title of this commercial is "Let Your Game Speak," and yes, it speaks for itself. :) Tell me this doesn't give you goosebumps. At the :30 second mark, this was perhaps the greatest dunk ever seen at the Slam Dunk Contest, and was in fact voted as such by the fans. At :40, of course, is Jordan's picture-perfect last shot of his career as a Chicago Bull. The Bulls were trailing in this crucial game, but Jordan's shot brought them over and won his team their sixth championship in eight years. How's that for a capper to an already superlative-laden career?

Here's a comparison of the commercial up against the original Jordan footage:



Simply amazing.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV

The Black List: Vol. 1

Last night I watched this intriguing documentary, called "The Black List," which airs on HBO this week. The documentary is a series of short introspectives done in slide-show style and given by prominent black figures in America. The doc was conceived by well-known journalist and NPR radio host, Elvis Mitchell, and by photographer/filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. Check out the trailer below:




An Official Selection at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Elvis Mitchell interviews (from off camera and off-mike) such high profile celebrities and professionals as: Toni Morrison, Vernon Jordan, Colin Powell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Serena Williams, Sean Combs, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Slash, and quite a few more. Each interviewee expresses in their own, unscripted words what it meant to them growing up black in this country, and in which unique--and often very subtle--ways they've experienced negativity towards the color of their skin. And, more specifically, how these experiences have shaped their professional lives. The most heartfelt and emotional stories, for me, came from Lou Gossett, Jr. and Chris Rock.

Lou Gossett talked about winning an Academy Award and expecting so many jobs to come knocking on his door, only to get ignored by an industry that did not know what to do with a prominent black American actor with the accolades to back up his serious acting presence.

Chris Rock offered a poignant example of the difference between the chuckling, side-shuffling "sidekick" type roles for black comedic actors before Eddie Murphy, and how Eddie was the first to change the paradigm in Hollywood with the depiction of confident, black men as action and comedy heroes in his movies.

The documentary is well-directed and beautifully shot, with the interviewees speaking humbly and unflinchingly candid about their experiences. It never delves into vicious, racist undertones or points fingers at any one person or establishment. Everyone is proud to be an American and believes in what this country stands for.

If you get the chance to catch this on HBO or any of its many mirror channels, please do so. It's 90-minutes long, but worth every minute.Source URL: https://bollywoodsexygirls2012.blogspot.com/search/label/Seen%20on%20TV
