The Comic-Con that was established in 1970, has been like a staple in my mind for like a decade or more. It recently got a four-page article in Entertainment Weekly Magazine this week, which it rarely gets a mention every year. The big buzz now is that Steven Spielberg and the rest of Hollywood has supposedly 'taken notice.' I think it is ridiculous that is has gotten so much buzz now. Now, some magazines and television media are calling 'nerds' and 'geeks' now popular or 'in.' I mean, I personally find geeks and nerds hot and sexy but it is strange that there is notice since we sci-fi and comic book fans find the subjects 'cool' anyway.Tuesday, August 7

The Fuss over Zac Efron: I don't get it
My close friend may agree with me that I just don't find Zac Efron that attractive. I usually jump at any young piece of meat but he just doesn't tickle my perineum. I would post this on my cute guy blog Caramelitos Baronil but since this is the opposite, I posted here. Well, everybody can like whoever they want. I am not saying it is repulsive. Well, my friend mentioned before likes Stuart Townsend, she doesn't like Colin Farrell as much as I do.

Kyle XY Season 2 Episode 9 Review
"Ghost In The Machine"August 6, 2007
Premise: Lori decides to have an adventure and goes to the woods where the trucker was killed in the beginning of the season. She has been drinking, four beers to be exact. Declan suspects its because of her ambush. The parents are conveniently away and the kids all band together to go to the woods, not listening to Kyle's objections. The woods is exactly where the ruins of Zzyyzx is. Without knowing it, Kyle learns more about his past and Kern. Meanwhile, Jessi blows off Declan for Kyle because of new programming. Also, Foss comes back and Kyle servers ties with him.
Here are my comments:
Cat Fight. Meow. I loved the Jessi and Amanda conversation. Very heated. Jessi is such a bad girl and speaks her mind. Also, what heck was up with Lori? Lori was crazy enough to go to track down where Jessi killed the trucker and go into Zzyzx. It is so awesome they show underage drinking and making masturbation jokes and it is on a so-called 'Family' channel. What is curious is that the closed caption company doesn't think so since when Josh mentions that Scooby Doo has 'pot references' but Closed Captions has 'plot' instead of 'pot.' Pairing Kyle and Declan talking about girls and Lori and Amanda talking about boys is a bit done before but the writers are genius. They lovingly woven Jessi and Kyle's discoveries of information. Kyle beleives he is being haunted by ghost's memories but it could just be a new ability.
He learns Kern, who died in the first episode, was a total asshole and just like Ballantine with Jessi, Kern considered Kyle a machine. This whole season, Kyle slowly learns his new abilities and learns to control them and use them for the great good. While Jessi accidentally falls into them and use them for personal gain or they come out negatively. While I missed the parents in this episode, I did love the dynamics of the kids (most complicated love pentagon ever!) and great flashbacks with Kern, Adam Baylin and Brian Taylor (Martin Cummins). I love Amanda and Kyle's relationship. Lori, as much as I love her, was crazy in this episode. At least she apologized to Kyle. And Kyle openly calls himself her brother and her his sister. Ah, Jessi. Poor torn Jessi--she is haunted as Kyle but not resolved as much as he has. Well, poor all of them. At least, Amanda is the only one just not as damaged as all the others at the end of this. Of course, after Kyle's talk. "Responsible." She is the hero at the end of all of this. She is a awesome character. If Kyle trusts Foss, why can't we? So far three or more or so questions have been answered.
Spoilers
And what Andy revealed that she had cancer... I told my dad (who also follows the series with me) three weeks ago that I knew she was going to die some how. I knew since I first saw Brian Taylor that we could not trust.

Why are there more of those dropped called commercials?
Cingular keeps releasing those 'dropped call' commercials where a call is dropped and there is a misunderstanding between two people. For example, when the wife announces to her husband that she is pregnant and because of the dropped call, she thinks he is being silent because he is not happy. Or the one where the mom gets the call from her daughter from las Vegas and thinks she is getting married. Those are actually the newer ones. I think one of the first ones is where the father of the bride talks to the soon-to-be son-in-law or the one where the guy calls his girl and thinks from the silence she is seeing someone else. Anyhoo, they are making more and more of these freaking commercials! I'm tired of them already. Come on AT&T (who now owns Cingular)! Is this going to be like those "Priceless" Mastercard commercials?
TV Fall Trailer Preview
Full episodes have been leaked online of new Fall shows and the networks aren't saying boo... yet. They consider it good publicity until it is time for the shows to actually premiewre. They consider word of mouth of the bloggers a good. Even though I couldn't find the full episodes, here are some previews.
"Pushing Daisies" which I mentioned before, stars Lee Pace ("Wonderfalls") and the show is co-executive produced by the cutest writer out there right now Brian Fuller, who happens to be gay. He created "Dead Like Me" and "Wonderfalls" and wrote for "Heroes." I definitely will be watching!
CW's Reaper which stars other cutie Bret Harrison.
