Penn State had a big win over Michigan yesterday, defeating them 35-10. I thought that the game would be much closer and have to say that I am happy that I was wrong. Kent State, my graduate school Alta mater, won yesterday beating Ohio and giving them a 4-4 record.
Game 6 between the Angels and the Yankees was put off until day due to heavy rains which I experienced here in CT. The day is looking to be much better and this game should get under away. I like the Angels to win today and force a Game 7. It would really make my day for them to eliminate the Yankees.
The Naked News did a review of the remake of The Stepfather. From what I can see, it is a virtual remake of the original film that starred Terry O' Quinn. That film had at least two sequels so I wonder why the remake. At least when Rob Zombie did the remake of Halloween, he tried to do something a bit more original and focus on Michael Myer's back story. And given that we can watch the originals on DVD, I just do not see the point in these remakes.
Zombies originally were the dead reanimated by voodoo priests to serve as slave labor. They only kill folks on command of their masters and never ate brains. Marvel had an interesting comic book series about Simon Garth, a rich man turned into a zombie and forced to serve at the whims of a master. Now they are just a mob of creatures killing folks and eating their brains. And we get movie and movie made about them. Some are creative and original, most are repetitive and stupid. I predict the next trend will be to go back to the original Zombie myth and make a movie about that.
American Chopper (TLC) returned to the airwaves this week with both Jr. and Mikey off the OCC team. Sr. had a big fight with Mikey when he tried to have a sit down with him and understand why he is not being used by the company any more. I watched Sr. do the public presentation of their latest bike and he sucked. Jr. and Mikey did much better with that PR role. We also find out Danny, another son of Sr., is estranged from his father. Jason Poole impressed the folks at that seat building company and could leave OCC for another job. Sr is going to lose the talent that made his company bit by bit and once TLC pulls the plug on this show that will happen. Sad to see an interesting show self destruct. D
Oh well.
