Somebody at work showed me this yesterday with a disclaimer of, "This looks soooo much better than Up." Consider me skeptical as I loved the shit out of Up [more on that soon] but I thought I'd take a look.
Now, while it's too hard to tell from this clip if the movie will have the heart of Up, it's definitely in the ballpark visually.
Check it out...

Laker Game Recap
Worked late tonight and I just finishing watching the game. I open tomorrow so I'll make this short...
Complete and total domination was awesome to see. In all of the interviews all week, you could FEEL that Kobe was... pick an adjective... focused, determined, centered, motivated, etc. And he certainly shot right out of the gate tonight to show it.
But the real good sign was the defensive intensity that our boys put out there.
If they can keep it up, things will be looking good. Game 2's are always tough though for the winner of Game 1 - especially in a game like this. It's important to not get cocky and to come out with the same level of intensity.
Sunday should be a lot of fun.

Kimbo Slice - The Ultimate Fighter?
This news broke yesterday and I never got a chance to post anything about it so here it is...
Yesterday, the UFC announced that Kimbo Slice would be a contestant on the next edition of The Ultimate Fighter.
Everybody got that?
If not, let me expand on that. Kimbo Slice, the man who was in the most watched MMA fight in history, will now be relegated to one of sixteen heavyweights fighting it out for the chance to earn a UFC contract. Oh, by the way, he'll be doing this while being coached by either Rashad Evans or Quinton Jackson. If the thought of Kimbo Slice trading words with Rampage doesn't give you a little bit of a flutter, you have no soul... well, MMA soul at least.
My thoughts?
First, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that will make me watch TUF again after skipping the current season.
Second, like him or not, you've got to give Kimbo MAJOR credit for this. If you are to believe the rumors, he may have gone around his management team to make this deal which is crazy, stupid, and ballsy all wrapped up in a grill-covered ball. He's taking the biggest risk of his life here. If he proves to be a bust and gets KOd in the first round of his first fight, odds are high he'll never get a chance at another major fight. If he somehow works his way through and actually makes the UFC, whew, baby. Katie bar the door because MMA might hit a fresh run of awesomeness.
So, yeah... in short, I'm looking forward to seeing Kimbo on TUF and I just might find myself rooting for him as well.
By the way, this might be the biggest non-losing scenario for a promotion I've ever seen. Dana White remains a promotional genius in the vein of Vince McMahon. If Kimbo fails, Dana gets to mock him forever and show the world that not just any overhyped street fighter can be successful. If he wins, it's the ultimate success story and a chance at some big headlines and buyrates.
I'm suddenly excited about MMA again... for now.

Kobe: Doin' Work
In the quest to finish clearing off all the old TV off our DVR, we decided to watch ESPN's special from a few weeks ago about Kobe Bryant titled Kobe: Doin' Work.
This premise behind the show was that Spike Lee was directing a documentary about Kobe Bryant. For the film, they taped one game - Lakers vs Spurs - from April of 2008 using something like 30 cameras, all aimed at Kobe throughout the game. He was mic'd as well and they managed to get Phil to allow cameras pre-game, halftime, and post-game in the locker room for some surprising access. They also had Kobe provide a running commentary track over the game in January of '09 before polishing it off for commmercial-free airing on ESPN a few weeks ago.
The movie is well-shot, well-edited, and generally well-done.
It's fascinating to me as a basketball fan to hear him break down the action on [and a little bit off] the court - hearing him explain why they're calling certain plays, why he does certain things on the floor like his seemingly OCDish wiping of his hands (he's trying to keep them wet! Who knew?)
It's not your traditional type of documentary. You're not going to gain some huge inside into Kobe Bryant the person. However, if you're a basketball fan, you might gaint a little bit of insight to Kobe Bryant the player and you may see a side of the game you've never quite seen before.
I enjoyed it... and I think other basketball fans would enjoy it as well.

Short One
Here's a quick one just before bedtime!
On tonight's Dodger game, Vin Scully quipped (slightly paraphrased):
"Speaking of tattoos, have you ever seen more tattoos (outside of the circus of course) then on the Denver basketball team? They must be out of ink in the entire state of Colorado."
I love that man.

A Fitting Farewell...But Not
Last night, the Missus and I decided to burn through the last half dozen or so episodes of Scrubs that we had sitting on the DVR. As you may be aware, this was supposed to be the final season of Scrubs after NBC fucked them out of what was SUPPOSED to be their final season last year.
Earlier this year when The Shield wrapped up its run and then again when BSG did the same (seriously? We lost both of those this year? I'm already fucking depressed) I commented on the difficulty in putting together a series finale. There have been so many really, really bad and disappointing series finales, it's almost like we expect that now.
Scrubs accomplished the opposite. The "home stretch" of episodes that we watched last night were absolutely fantastic television. So many heart-felt moments that the show is so good at mixed with the crazy, zany humor that the show is so good at. As we got closer to the finale, I started to feel a little sad that we were going to see it go.
And then the finale arrived.
It's an odd thing - a series finale. For most shows, a series finale is quite the bittersweet moment. While you sit and wait and wait and eagerly anticipate just what the creative forces can do knowing there's "no tomorrow" there's also a piece of you who is - again - really fucking depressed that it's ending. I know I felt that strongly for The Shield. I was also pretty bummed that BSG was ending even though I hadn't dedicated much time to it. And I can already tell you that having no more Lost on Wednesday nights is going to make my brain bleed.
But Scrubs was different.
Scrubs has long ago passed the point where I eagerly looked forward to it every week. It wasn't like it was a chore to watch it or that I was watching out of habit - I just didn't really care that much about what was going on. Scrubs was the show where every week you'd watch it and most weeks you'd say, "That was good" and then forget about it. So, the end of Scrubs wasn't really going to bum me out.
And then the finale arrived.
And it was... perfect.
It was the absolute perfect way to end the show. I was okay with the series ending and I was happy with the way everything was resolved. I ended the finale thinking, "This show really couldn't have a better ending."
Unfortunately, they're going to have to try. As the show was ending, I also was thinking, "God, I really wish they hadn't agreed to another season."
Yep, "one more year" with a scrambling of old and new cast members.
Eh. I'm just not feelin' it.
While at one time, I thought The West WIng should last forever, simply by changing the cast every 4-8 years with a new administration... I just don't think Scrubs should keep going with a new cast. It just feels... cheap... to me at this point.
Who knows? I may change my mind when it re-arrives on ABC but right now? I think it's a bad call.

Top 25 Songs EVER!
A few days ago, I launched a project that I expect to take quite some time.
I decided that I would attempt to create a list of my Top 25 favorite songs... EVER!
For most, this would be a near-impossible task. For me, it gets even worse because of my OCDish tendency to want to make all "mixtapes"/lists the same way. Start with every possibility and work my way backwards one by one by one. So, couple that insanity with a library that currently hits over 7000 songs - you can quickly sense my problem.
But I've only been working at this for a handful of days [okay, maybe a week or so] and I'm already down to 5000 so progress is being made and being made rapidly.
Even at this early stage though, I've already encountered tough choices.
Cut Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss?" Really? It seems like a painful thing to do but when I actually stop and think about it, there's likely 25 Pearl Jam songs ALONE that I like better than "Last Kiss" so it's almost impossible that it'd actually crack the 25.
Then there was the decision to eliminate all Christmas music from consideration. It just didn't seem a fair comparison to make. I almost made the same choice with classical/score type music but I've opted not to... for now.
It is, however, giving me a chance to hear songs that I haven't heard in a long, long time. I'm constantly surprised to see the low play counts for songs that I really, really like. And likewise, I'm surprised to see the high play counts for songs that I barely know although some of that we can blame on having a shared library, I'm sure.
It's a fun project though. In the 30 minutes before I started writing this, I knocked off an additional hundred plus songs so as long as I can get a chance to knock down a heaping handful a day, this should be done... oh, sometime this summer at worst, right?
Right?
Please?

Some Random Thoughts
Just sneaking in before the witching hour with some random thoughts about random stuff...
*** Lakers heading into Game 6!
It's not like I don't have absolute faith in the Purple & Gold but... well, let's just say that when I found out that Game 7 was scheduled for Sunday evening, I had to put in quite the effort at work today to get them to switch my schedule so I worked in the morning instead. Gotta be prepared, you know?
*** Prop 8
I know, I know. After all the fuss I raised back in November, you expected some huge diatribe on my part but I don't think I have it in me this week. Suffice to say that with all the riots, all the crime, all the jokes about pollution and earthquakes and fake breasts and all that jazz, I can honestly say that I can only recall two times in my life where I've been embarrassed to be from California and they both were because of this issue. It's a crime, it's a travesty, and until it's righted, it's a wrong that Californians shouldn't just accept. Oh, and for all those religious folks out there crying "Morality prevailed" - you can come pay me a visit and we'll discuss your morality and what it means to real people.
*** Remakes! Remakes! Remakes!
I know everyone's GOT to be as sick of the remake trend in Hollywood as I am. It seems like every week has a half dozen remakes greenlighted but this week scraped the bottom of the barrel. "Hey, I know. Let's make a Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie but not involve ANYONE that actually saved that creative concept the first time around." God forbid they actually make money on something.
*** Twilight At Comic-Con
I'm disillusioned, I must admit. I can not fathom any earthly idea why there would be a Twilight panel at Comic-Con. Not one. Not a single hint of one. I know it's popular, I know it appeals to horny teenage girls. But come on... really? This is almost enough reason alone to make me not want to go this year.
*** Battlestar Galactica Lives On
And I'm not even talking about Caprica. Between receiving the soundtrack in the mail, last night's post about the live concerts of the score, and the super-fantastic amazing board game that the Missus and I just finished a rousing game of, I'm more in love with BSG than ever.
Oh, and I don't really have a comment on this but...
How 'bout them Dodgers?

Hey! That's Weird!
So, I was super-stoked when I got home to find my long-awaited copy of the Battlestar Galactica Season One soundtrack waiting for me.
And imagine my surprise [and pure joy] when I read this just moments ago...
Anyone else up for this?

Blue's Reviews: Star Trek (spoilers ahead!)
I promised the review and despite the urge to address what happened in California today, I shall do so.
STAR TREK
DISCLAIMER: I write this review having seen only one Star Trek movie - the very first one. I saw it many, many moons ago as a child and remember nothing about it other than I fell asleep during it. I haven't seen a single Trek movie since then. I also have never seen The Next Generation or Voyager or...I think that's it, right? I was a fan of Deep Space Nine for 2 or 3 seasons but gave it up long before the end. So, with that in mind, I go into the movie with no love of the franchise to insult.
That being said...
I dug it. I really dug it. It was a fun, exciting, amusing sci-fi flick and J.J. Abrams outdid himself, IMO. It had just enough geek to stay sci-fi but not enough to drown in (although the Missus wasn't feelin' the time travel stuff.) As a non-Star Trek fan but someone familiar with some of the Trekisms, it was cool to see them effort to work in the, "Damn it, Jims" and "I'm givin' it all she's got, Captain!"
The appearance of old Spock caught me by surprise. I knew Leonard Nimoy was in the movie but I assumed it was just a cameo. That was no cameo. He played a major part in the movie and even as a non-fan, I got a little bit of a chill when he arrived on the scene. It makes me glad that the Shatner stuff didn't work out because I think that might have been overkill.
So, I liked the action, the humor, the effects... the acting was "okay." It wasn't Oscar-worthy but it doesn't need to be. It was good enough for what it needed to be and didn't distract from the movie.
What didn't I like?
There were a few Lucas-esque "Let's do this crazy creature/action scene just because we can" moments especially on the ice planet thing that as a Star Wars fan instantly reminded me of Hoth. Also, there were a couple of comedic sequences that seemed kinda... odd. Not quite Peter Parker in a dance sequence odd but approaching that level. I've read a few interviews where the filmmakers thought that humor was very important to the movie so... well, they accomplished that.
But all in all, I really was happy with the movie and I have a feeling I'm going to be very glad this was my first movie of the summer instead of Wolverine or Terminator.
What does it take to get a non-Star Trek fan enthused enough to rush out to see Star Trek?
Four words: In J.J. we trust.

Glee
Sigh.
That's the best word I can use to describe my feelings after seeing the pilot for Fox's new show Glee (available at last glance for free on the Apple iTunes Store.)
I loved it. Absolutely adored it. No surprise for those of you who recall my "affinity for musicals", I'm sure. It was cute, charming, well-done, quirky, had likable characters that you could relate to, and all those little things that make shows so much fun. Plus, did I mention that it has musical numbers? Word.
A Facebook friend had opined that Glee was the most fun and engaging first show they've seen since Pushing Daisies. I'm not sure I'm ready to pour that much love on it quite yet but it's not far off the mark. How can you not love a show that drops a performance of Mr. Cellophane and I Kissed A Girl in the same segment?
But therein lies the sigh.
Because if Fox as a company has showed us absolutely anything at all, it's that they can't be trusted with a property worth having. See: Firefly, Arrested Development, Wonderfalls among others. And my immediate reaction upon watching this magnificent piece of television was...
"How the hell did they get Fox to approve this pilot and how the hell will it survive more than three episodes?"
My faith in Fox has never been lower [even after the Dollhouse renewal] so I'm not hopeful that this show will be around past the fall of 2009 so I'll opt to enjoy the time with it that I get and hope for the best.
If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and go check it out.

What A Game!
That really could apply to any of the Conference Final games so far, huh?
We caught the end of the 3rd and all of the 4th of Magic/Cavs Game 2 at the sushi place tonight. The place went a little nutty when the Magic took the lead with one tick left on the clock and then lost their collective shit when King James sunk the 3 to take the win.
Now, don't get me wrong - it was a great shot under pressure.
But really?
REALLY?!
What kind of mental/defensive breakdown does a team have to have to let that situation unfold?
Up by two. One second left on the clock. There's only one thing you don't want - a three pointer. And there's only one person you don't want shooting it.
And who was shooting? Exactly.
How the hell does that even happen? Hell, a five on one cover of James to let anyone else in the team shoot would have been a better idea than that. I can't believe they didn't at least put two guys on him to prevent the ball from getting in his hands.
Alas, they didn't and the series is tied.
But is it just me or does anyone else find their big celebration on the floor a bit... well, dumb?
Why give your opponents any more motivation to drill your asses through the floor in Game 3? And shit, it's not like you've won anything yet. Save that shit for a parade if you make it that far.
Here's hoping Dwight Howard goes for 40/20 in Game 3 and throws down a dunk that shatters the glass.
The more important Game 3 is tomorrow though. Cross your fingers - it's gonna be a rough one.

Random Thoughts
It's been a few days [okay, maybe more] since I've gotten to post anything of substance so this seems like a good chance to drop a few thoughts on "paper."
** Just finished watching the Idol finale which I thought was actually the best Idol finale I could remember in some time. I was happy that Kris won as I would have had to seriously rethink any future plans to watch the show if the result went the other way. That being said, I definitely thought that Adam's songs tonight were much better fits for his vocal style than most of the season. Just please, please, please keep the sitar in the closet.
** Two close games in two nights? The Conference Finals are shaping up to be something amazing to see. I missed the game tonight due to work but it looked damn fun and I know I had a heart-stopping blast watching last night. I can't wait for tomorrow night.
** The Dodgers sweep the Mets. I repeat - the Dodgers sweep the Mets. Yes, "it's still early" but...
** The WWE/Nuggets thing has been a blast to see unfold. The Nugs owner made a bonehead move and deserves to get called out for it and there's no one better at playing someone else's mistake into a big media feeding frenzy for him than Vince McMahon.
