Crowdfunding
What are everyone’s thoughts on crowdfunding? The movie based on the TV show Veronica Mars has reached it’s goal of 2 million dollars in 8 hours. I donated, but that’s beside the point.
Jon Benjamin has a van.
I’m a sucker for anything with Coach McGuirk in it, but this looks like it’ll actually be good, so be sure to catch it before it gets cancelled!
JJ Abrams' Alcatraz.
Were it not for the brilliance that is Fringe, I’d write this off as being ripe for LOST-esq pacing and infuriating plots, but I’m willing to give it a shot.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a missed communication.
Colbert’s response to O’Reilly’s infamous proof of God.
Terriers
It’s not a show about dogs,and it’s really good. you should be watching. it’s probably going to be cancelled. So you might as well watch in now, instead of two years from now when it’s on DVD and you think “damn i wish this wasn’t cancelled”
Apple TV + Vuze
Anyone who enjoys television should really think about the combination of these two things. In one hand, you have a teeny tiny little box that sits next to your television that streams content from any iTunes-running computer in your house and plays it on your TV. In the other, you’ve got a bittorrent application with built-in transcoding for any device type you want. Which means, essentially, you don’t have to worry about all that video codec/importing bullshit.
Essentially, you google a torrent for a season or episode of a show you like, you download the torrent file and open it in Vuze and when it’s done, you just drag the finished torrent over to the little iTunes icon in Vuze’s sidepanel. It’ll ask if you want to transcode for an iPad, an iPhone, a bunch of other gadgets, or an Apple TV. And then you go have a sandwich. Later, when you sit down on your couch and pick up the teeny, tiny three button perfection that is the Apple TV remote and browse over to TV Shows… there’s the stuff you just downloaded.
At last, Gos and I will finally finish watching Dead Wood, and start watching Mad Men, The Wire, Twin Peaks, and countless other shows we’ve missed. We’ve got a comfy couch and many blankets. These are good times to have bad sinus infections.
The Cartoon Medley.
I was amazed to find that I knew the words to just about cartoon he did. Except the Euro ones.

I just searched the site for comments about the funniest character on tv and found nothing. If you haven’t seen ben schwartz’s character on parks and recreation search youtube for him. He is the funniest!
The Walking Dead.
I’m calling it now. Based on this trailer alone, I think it’s safe to say that this will be greatest television show of all time.
The (probable) new Apple TV
Engadget is releasing info on Apple’s possible new Apple TV unit and, for the first time, I’m pretty pumped about the little unit.

Lost: The End
I loved the finale and I had some initial things on my mind to type up.
Anybody see that stained-glass window in the “church”?
Lost: What They Died For
What DID they die for?
Provided answer: The trials that have left a cascading series of corpses on the Island catalyzed the candidates into a force to be reckoned with. Only after properly seasoning these lonely souls were they prepared to defend the Light from the Man in Black.
Actual answer: With 714 commercial act breaks needing searingly dramatic cliffhangers over the past six years, you gotta ice some mofos.
Even if nothing else is worked out in a satisfying manner, I’ll always love this show for opening Ben Linus’ mind to the intellectually dizzying truth of an infinitely vast, bifurcated universe by having him get punched repeatedly in the face for the nine thousandth time.
LOST: Does anyone even care at this point?
When the episode ended, my first thought was “oh, that was sort of a nice little three-man stage play.” And then I remember that it was supposed to be a LOST episode. Not just any LOST episode, either. This was to be the episode that explains the island! And what did we get? “Oh, yeah, um, well God lives in a cave there. Sort of. And some lady was protecting it and then some kids were born and the lady killed their mom for some reason. Later, the one brother decided he wanted to leave, so he started looking for a boat or watercraft of some sort the God Cave. But then the lady knocked him out and his brother fed him to the God Cave and then a smoke monster came out. TA DA!”
Seriously, Lost? What the fuck? Are you going to readdress any of this nonsense or is this all we’re getting?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
