Dollhouse

I have to say, Dollhouse is a great new show hitting FOX following The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The show was created by Josh Whedon and stars Eliza Dushku who plays the very sexy Echo. The plot of the show is about a company called "Dollhouse". It's a secret corporation that earses the memories of humans to implant them with other memories, thus making them have different personalities. Clients can come to Dollhouse and request a "Doll" male or female and have the implanted with any personality they wish. They then get to spend a certain amount of time with the Doll. Examples are a guy wants a woman to spend time with for a weekend. He then pays Dollhouse to give him a girl with a personality that will fall in love with him. When the weekend is over the Doll then returns to Dollhouse for an "Appoitment", which is where they earse the Dolls memory. They are then an empty shell until the next client arrives.

They don't do this forever, they usually voulenteer and sign a contract earsing their memory for X amount of years. After the contract is over they are released back into the real world. At least, that's what I think. Details of that have not been shared much. There have only been two epidoes and it premired on FOX on 2/13/09.

If you don't know who Josh Whedon is, he's the guy who wrote and directed Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The show is based around Echo who is played by Eliza Dushku. A lot of clients request her and it seems that she is still holding on to some memories. The show so far is amazing, a great sci-fi twist to most FOX shows. I recommend it for anyone looking for a new series to get into.

Palm Pre: May not be coming!?!

So the many of us who watched CES 09 and say the unveiling of the new Palm Pre, got pretty excited. It is a far better improvement from previous Palm devices. A lot of journalists were actually surprised. They thought the mobile device that would win over CES would be the new Nokia n970; which is not due to release until a few more months. The Pre, however, stood out in the crowd.

Well, sources have informed me that the Pre may not even come!

Another thing many of us know is that soon after CES. Apple, got their mutlitouch function of the iphone pattened. For those of you who do not know what that means. It means that any other company that uses multitouch functions on a touchscreen mobile device similiar to that of the iphones will be pursued in legal charges.

Well, the Pre has multitouch BUT the Pre was already scheduled to release before Apple got the patten for their multitouch. This is pretty much a tactic from Apple to knock out the competetion. They know that the Pre is going to be big, bigger then the G1 and possibly gain more sales then the iphone. This is a way to stop that from happening. The case is still being settled and as of this time I know little about the details. I will be investigating it further and update you on any change.

Hopfully Apple decides to drop the charges, because the Pre is going to bo the real game changer in the mobile world.

Meth + Blizzard = Death?

So here I was, sitting in my bed watching television when a commercial comes on. It shows a picture of a cute couple and you hear a voice in the backround. It's a recorded conversation between the guy in the picture and a Police Officer. He states that him and his girlfriend/fiance/whatever are trapped in a blizzard and are unsure on where they are. Text comes onto the screen saying Matthew and Christina were trapped in a blizzard, they were on Meth and disorietned.

Then it goes back to him talking and he's all mumbling and is not making much sense. Text comes across the screen again saying they were found 3 days later dead because of "meth"

Now listen, I understand. Meth is very very bad, disgusting and just plain retarded. People should not do it, but that's not the real point in this. The point is...

They did not die from god damn Meth.

They died because..I don't know..THEY WERE TRAPPED IN A DAMN BLIZZARD. They froze to death god damnit. Even if they were not on Meth they probably would of died. They don't really teach you how to survive a Blizzard in school. If I were stuck in a blizzard, I would probably die too. It's a damn blizzard.

If the couple were high on maijuana would the commerical be about how pot killed them?

No

They are just using this to provide reasons not to do meth

"Don't do meth kids, you could end up in a blizzard and die"

Come on...

If you want to try to not make people do meth. Show pictures of a cracked out old lady who used to be beautiful or list someone that actually died from Meth. Not a fire or a blizzard or a bad re-run on Gunsmoke. Meth.

Meth is bad, yes do not do it.

Also, do not go into Blizzards, that is also bad.

I hope you have all learned a vaulable lesson from this.

Good day.

Burn After Reading

Well, I watched Burn After Reading today. I must say, I enjoyed it a lot. It seems that the Coen brothers have created the idea that since they are such great Directors, they can make a movie that is absouletly pointless and make it golden.

They did just that, the movie has no main plot or incentive. Just a bunch of idiots running around blackmailing and craving over the world of money and perfection.

It was really based around true satire which is a great concept. Satire can be placed in so many places and situations. Perfect example. What you could do with $50.00

Plant X amount of trees to plant in our backyards. Send X amount of food and aid to familes in developing countries.

OR

Buy 25 cups of coffee, buy 3 DVD's, or 1 Video Game.

Ahh Satire, the Coen Brothers capture it perfectly. Not the most amazing movie. But, still good.

I enjoyed it.
