Scary Movie 4 (2006)
Just got done watching this movie...it was blah. I started off with this slow movie as it parodied the Grudge and wanted to stop watching.
It was well worth the watch by the end. A simple comedy.
The Ultimate Fighter 4

The Ultimate Fighter 4
This season Dana threw in a twist, this time the competitors aren't rookies looking to break into the UFC, instead they have assembled a cast that includes veterans like Shonie Carter, Matt Serra, and Chris Lytle. To follow along with the new competitors is a new Coachless format. The teams do not have coaches, infact the teams were drawn at random as each fighter picked a jersey from a box.
Instead of team coaches Dana brought in GSP and Randy Couture to help them train. Also instead of waiting until the end of the season to see the coaches either fight one another or fight each other on a double card, this time we will see the two winners face off against the Middle and Light Heavyweight Champions.
The show was summed up pretty well as one of the competitors commented how annoying it was that the TUF competitors would walk in next to them and now one would have any idea who they were and they had been in the UFC for 5 years.
I for one am excited about everything this season.
But I still miss the Right Guard challenges, the moment where Luke wrapped up two opponents and allowed his team to win a challenge still stands out in my head as an application of MMA skills to different types of challenges.
Protocols of Zion (2005)

Protocols of Zion (2005)
This was a documentary about a 100 year old Jewish document called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion...at least thats what I read in the preview.
This was something I knew nothing at all about but being a history buff was fascinated by what this book could have been about.
The movie started by introducing the rumor that over 4000 Jews that were worked in the World Trade Center in September of 2001 mysteriously missed work on 9/11. I had never heard this rumor, so was drawn in to see if the Protocols had some message about 9/11.
Unfortunately this is where the movie stopped progressing as a historical/informative piece and moved into an exploration of Anti-Semitism in America...which I felt I could stomach to get the history I wanted out of the movie.
By the movies end I had learned how every race in America was harboring hatred for the Jews. Many groups of people from prisoners and publishers to white supremacists were shown discussing their anti-semitic views. The tie ins to the protocols were mostly shown as a reference to many of the sterotypes and sentiments shared by the many groups with strong "Jew-Hating" notions.
So the filmaker paticularly focussed on the Muslim hatred of the Jewish people with strong feelings coming from people on the street to important world leaders. They included how the book was used by Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party as propoganda in conquered nations during WWII.
It wasnt until the Special Features on the disc that I was able to get the infromation I was looking/watching for. As a timeline and an interview with Will Eisner finally filled me in that the Protocols had been discounted as "Poor Plagarism" of a Machiavelli conversation from centuries before 1905 when the work was originally published in Russia.

Tamir Goodman - This is a story about an Orthodox Jew that at one point was hyped as the Jewish Jordan. Even had a song written about him.
He was heavily recruited by Maryland, who had even offered to move their Saturday games off of Saturday to accomodate his Sabbath.

PVR Comparison
Wednesday, January 25, 2006 by TJ
Currently I am running a TiVo, a Moxi (from Charter), and a Media Center PC…call it extended field testing.
All of these assume that you will be watching your TV through the PVR, to get around the tuner cap you can always split your cable and put one into the Ant In on your TV to watch Live TV while recording.
TiVo:
Price: 40hr Tivo=$50 if you get a year subscription for $149 = $200
Pros: Web-based interface I schedule programs to record from work.
It also keeps itself full based on your preferences it records shows that it “thinks” you may want, the more you use it the better it gets.
Can synch it to a computer and download .Tivo files to play in WMP and the sort
Basically with TiVo you will never watch live TV again.
Clean UI
Cons: All except the DirectTiVo have a single tuner…one show can be either watched or recorded at a time.
Transfers to a computer take a while and are usually of pretty bad quality.
Moxi (Charter’s DVR)
Price: $3/mo. More than digital cable for the boxes and now $15.95/mo for service. = ~$228
Pros: Dual Tuners…watch/record or record/record
Very Nice UI
No commitment
Cons: Keeps getting more expensive
No way to export programs outside of burning to a DVR or connecting to a computer
Lots of issues with what is on the screen, occasionally weird lines and colors.
Media Center PC
Price: Dual Tuner Video Card ~$160
Single Tuner Card~$90
Windows MCE~$120
If you are lucky the bundled software wont suck and you are good to go.
I'm using MythTV which is like $50 is like the UI for Moxi and TiVo mashed together.
<$330
Pros: Already on your computer for moving to PSP,iPod,Laptop…etc.
Runs in the background without stealing too many system resources.
Some software will let you login online and schedule
Upgradeable
No Commitment
No price changes
Cons: Its on your computer
Need a Media Center Extender($250) to stream to a TV
Need an extra computer to run this, if you arnet willing to give up the computer.
What I did was
Bought a $500 eMachines T6524 with WMC a 200GB hard drive, Video Card not included
Swapped Harddrives with my existing PC
Bought a single tuner Video Card from ebay for $50
And now I have a PC sitting out in the living room with MCE that acts like a PVR. (Video 1 is cable and Video 2 is the computer)
I am left with a brand new computer running XP that I can use to remote desktop into the other computer and make any changes that I need or watch TV on if no one is using the TV in the other room.

Havoc (2005)
by TJ
Its sorta like the Princess Diaries...if you remember the part where Anne Hathaway was naked. The movie struck a cord with me, as it focussed on the absurdity and lengths that well-to-do suburban kids will go to to have "fun".
At first brining the "ghetto" to their suburbs, but when that wore out they headed down to the "ghetto" for themselves. Eventually getting in over there heads in the barrio.
All the while the underlying story is a documentary being shot by a classmate chronciling the lengths that these suburban-ites will go and how it shapes/was shaped by their upbringing.
Worth the watch for one reason or another

In the long tradition of Romantic Comedies comes this ... movie? John Cusack...ehh. Diane Lane ... so hot in A Walk on the Moon and anyother movie where she chooses to get naked but this movie was even worse than Under the Tuscan Sun.

The L Word on Showtime - The L Word Official Site
by TJ
Sure I watch it...but a show about hot lesbians with pretty frequent nudity tend to be something that do infact interest me.
Showtime has been showing the L Word in marathin form catching up on the past two seasons which I had seen bits and pieces of in preparation for a new season. Season three seems to be introducing the first bull dyke on the show. Finally a little Madison quality lesbians to bring down the quality of the show.
