Comedy Central traffic thinks we're all fat

Wonder who puts all those commercials on the channel? It is the Traffic department. And apparently they think Comedy Central viewers are obese because they repeat and repeat a Lipozene commercial over and over again. A shrill bitch in purple asks, "Are you overweight?" I am sick of her and that freakin' commercial! Yes, I often use this blog as a bullhorn to the world.

Another Fat Suit BS movie

Leave it to Lifetime to make BS movie with a 'pretty' girl in a fat suit to 'discover how bad it is to be fat'. The movie 'To Be Fat Like me' stars lopsided poor acting-skills Kaley Cuoco. I hated her on Charmed! Poor Caroline Rhea wasting her time in this movie.

Revise note 12/25: I quoted pretty because I don't think she is. And that pic above isn't her for real or her in the fat suit, just a photoshop joke I found online.

St. Eleswhere Season One DVD Pilot Review

I recently was offered the Season One DVD of St. Elsewhere to review. I haven't gotten to finish the entire DVD yet but I liked what I saw so far. Here is the first review, I decided to review the pilot first. I had never seen or heard of St. Elsewhere. I never thought of myself a big medical show watcher but recently I am much into Grey Anatomy and Scrubs but they are much more about relationships than medical jargon. When I first heard of the title, I thought it was strange and felt it needed to be explained to me but once it was, I felt it made sense. The hospital of St. Eligius is not the best hospital, the one everyone wants to go to but it is the other choice, nicknamed 'Elsewhere.'

I try not to judge an entire series based on the pilot but it is well-balanced in drama and comedy. The pilot first aired October 26, 1982--a month and a half after I was born. I honestly had to get used to how shows were filmed back then, I felt the pace to be awfully slow. I was quickly enamored with the character of Dr. Jack Morrison (David Morse), a passionate first year who barely sees his family and works practically 36 hours in the pilot without much sleep. Rounding out the cast are Cynthia Sikes (terrific as Dr. Cavanero), Denzel Washignton as Dr. Chandler, Howie Mandel terrific as the energetic Dr. Fiscus, surprisingly William Daniels who I know as Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World as a egocentric jerk of a doc Dr. Craig, the great Ed Flanders as Dr. Donald Westphall and Ed Bedgley Jr as Dr. Enrlich.

The pilot covers hilarious events like one doctor having to tell all the women he made love to that he was gonorrhea and Fiscus gets proportioned to making out on a corpse table. So it has a lot of potential from it and very provocative. Over all the pilot was a really engrossing and detailed one. Be sure to check out the other reviews.

Transformers the Movie 20th Anniversary DVD Review

Okay, so you had to have seen this movie or know about the movie before reading this review or you will be lost. When I first saw Transformers the Movie I was six, I had rented it on VHS and barely remembered the series because I was like three. And I think I wasn't well versed in Season Three because I had no idea who all the new guys were, just the old ones. I was bummed that Optimus Prime died and felt it happened way to quickly but still thought it was a great movie. I loved the themes of transition, the scenes of Starscream betraying Megatron and being crowned king and then Galavatron wasting him was pure gold.

Quick overview of the movie: It is set in 2005, twenty years after the events of season two and Spike (the human) is now an adult and has a child Daniel. A giant planet-like transformer Unicron (which apparently may be bigger than the Deathstar according to the DVD commentary from fans) who eats planets while Megatron and Optimus had their final brawl ending in both of their deaths. The new team go out to save their friends from Unicron. Unicron wants the Matrix of Leadership (which Story Consltant/writer Flint Dille admits he should have copyrighted the 'Matrix') which Optimus gave Maximus but he doesn't seem to be the one to be the next leader. Unicron converts Megatron to Galavatron and is under his influence. They got Judd Nelson to play Hotrod, Orson Wells famously played Unicorn (there is much debate to if it was his last movie or not), Eric Idle as one of the Junk robots and it is one of the first movies to use celebrity voices.

The DVD set is awesome, it comes with a cool lenticular cover and two discs with different extras even though one is full screen and the other theatrical which I like. Because I like to have Extras spread out. The featurettes are eh... but I am glad Sue Blu (Arcee) is included but I am pissed they didn't mention she was the voice of Stromer on Jem, one of my favorites. It has a 'Autobot Matrix of Knowledge' that has pop-ups of trivia throughout the movie are a bit annoying in its repetitiveness and petty details. They have a fan commentary that is very very detailed and it is just cute. The DVD includes US and Japanese toy commercials, where I see the 'have the little toy in a desert' motif is still being used to this day for Japanese commercials and the American ones just make me wonder why the little boys' faces are blurred out. The Japanese produced an episode that bridged the second season to the movie--"Scramble City" and it is included in the DVD but because of the right disputes it has no audio albeit fan commentary. The episode leaves in a cliffhanger unresolved. The animated storyboards are just plain exquisite and the DVD overall can wet any fanboy or girl's appetite.

By the way, the 2007 Live-Action movie trailer is just a freaking tease.

DVD Fan Grade: A

Connect With English's Willy O' Donnell

There was a great series Connect With English from public television back in 1997 (almost a year ago if you weren't good at math) that helped people with English but had a iuncredible soap opera-ish story about Rebecca Casey who wanted to be a singer/artist who taught music to kids to go to music college in California which she finally did and got trapped in a love triangle with two Hispanic brothers. Her brother was played by the handosme Willy O' Donnell. He now does improv.

This is the only picture I could find of him online. His cuteness has melted a bit and he is now bleach blonde. A site on his comedy improv show The New Normal.
