This is the end...

It's that time of the year again...season finale time. And, this concept is the one thing that regular television viewing has as a benefit over streaming an entire season of a show on Netflix or Hulu Plus. The reason: Emotion. When burning through an entire season (or multiple seasons) of a show on-line, you don't have that same emotional connection to the characters as you do when tuning into these characters lives on a weekly basis year after year.

FAH-Q Troll

Wikipedia states that, "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community." Internet trolls are an annoyance, but normally I can deal with their stupidity. But yesterday, some idiot really set me off when he/she decided to post spoilers for a major upcoming summer blockbuster that was recently released overseas. Not only did this person post spoilers, but they did it on an unrelated thread on my favorite movie based website, Screenrant.com.

I'm a Poet, and I Wasn't Even Aware of the Fact

A long time ago in a state five hours away, I was a college student. In my years of higher education, I signed up for some creative writing classes. In these classes, I wrote some short stories...usually character driven stories about nothing in particular. I also produced poetry about unusual subjects. Two of those poems were published in 2007 by a magazine called The Kiosk. Now, that magazine is available on-line. Click the link and search for the pages

Kick-Ass 2 Red Band Trailer!!

I decided to create a fantasy summer film league. It's simple. You join and rank (in order) the 10 movies you think will be the most financially successful for the next 6 months (3/15-9/15). If your ranks are correct, you get a bonus. If your ranks are within one spot, you get a partial bonus. Will Star Trek 2 outdo Smurfs 2 at the box office? Probably, but anything can happen...but most likely not the scenario where Smurfs 2 is a bigger hit than Star Trek.

So sign up, join my league, and let the games begin. Then, get a friend or seven to join. My numbers are pathetic on this thing.

In the league directory, my league is called BLOCKBUSTER SEASON. My ID is Professor Procrastination.

SIGN UP TODAY!
