Couldn’t have said it better. But from my experience, Kenan Thompson is not funny, but…
The cast of “Saturday Night Live” is always a divisive subject. There’s no hard and fast conventional wisdom for who’s good and who’s as funny as watching your parents die of cancer. My favorites in the present cast are Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, but some people who ordinarily see eye-to-eye with me think they’re awful, so I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything here.
My point is, I detest Kenan Thompson, but I give credit where it’s due: I love this ‘What Up With Dat?” sketch. It’s ridiculously silly and it goes against the grain of SNL’s standard talk show skit. Well played, everyone.
10. In reality you don’t succeed in life just because you are good looking and easy to get along with. Oh, wait, maybe that should be changed to “you don’t always succeed…”
9. In reality, women have a lot more unwanted body hair after being stranded in a jungle for 42 days.
8. You can go ahead and pretend you don’t fart in public, poop your pants, or talk to people with a booger hanging out of your nose – but in reality, this has probably happened to you.
7. In reality (unlike books, movies and television) people do lots of ordinary, meaningless things that don’t move the story along.
6. The only time it’s cool to wear a small square of fabric in 15 different ways in reality is if you have a job modelling ‘The Wonder Scarf’ on the shopping channel. (more…)
From my experience owning both an HD DVD player and now a Blu-Ray player I can say that it probably isn’t a good move to buy an HD DVD player. Oh, the quality to my untrained eye is comparable to the Blu-ray player, although Ratatouille [Blu-ray] looks incredible on the Blu-ray DVD player and is the best looking movie you can buy if you want to see how good Blu-ray can be. No, the reason I’m not recommending the purchase of a HD DVD player is because the battle between the two competing DVD formats is over, unofficially speaking and Blu-ray has won.
When Disney decided to go with the Blu-ray format I thought that was the first big red flag for HD DVD, but now that Warner Bros. will support the Blu-ray DVD format the battle has been lost for the HD DVD format. Initally the biggest reason I bought the HD DVD as to be able to see The Ultimate Matrix Collection [HD DVD] and since the movie was made be Warner Bros. that is what I had to purchase. Well, now Warner Bros. has moved and the Matrix will be available for the Blu-ray format and I’m fully confident in stocking my DVD collection with Blu-Ray DVD and have no fears I’ve boarded the Beta max train of obsolescence.
If you are considering a high definition DVD player, stick with the Blu-ray DVD players, although the HD DVD players have come down in price lately, but that is because they will soon be part of the dinosaur crowd.
While I enjoy both shows about surviving alone in the wild, Bear is a little more engaging than Les.
When you compare the two I think you have to give Les an edge in dedication because he is filming everything himself and is truly alone. But this also can take away some of the drama from the viewers. Les must do many things twice, such as climb a hill or walk across a landscape so he can set up the camera. This means he can only do stationary camera positioning and can’t follow his actions.
Bear has a crew which films him, but not help him so the shots can be more exciting. Even though you always know he could be getting help from the crew you suspend your belief and assume he doesn’t. For some reason Bear seems to catch more food than Les and he certainly eats and drinks more disgusting things than Les does, which is always fun to watch.
To prove my loyalty to Bear I even created a Bear Grylls Squidoo lens all about him.
If you like nature shows and seeing something unscripted (reality tv) then you can’t go wrong with either show, but I think Bear will draw the larger crowd due to his personality on the show.
I added this video to youtube.com because I liked the peaceful freefall when Bear drops onto the island. Fun to watch.
From my experience last night at a concert featuring Styx (who didn’t play Mr. Roboto, see lyrics), Foreigner and most importantly Def Leppard I learned that bands from the 80s are still giving great concert performances. True, not all the original band members are part of all the groups, most of the core members were, except for Dennis DeYoung, who I thought was the only band member I really missed from all three groups.
That notwithstanding, it was a excited atmosphere with at least 3 generations in attendance. I saw ages from 13 – 60. I know some people age 60 were there as my parents were in attendance across the stadium (Nissan Pavilion in Bristol, Virginia) from my wife and I.
While all the bands were very entertaining, Def Leppard stole the show without a doubt as the final act, climaxing with a superb performance of the song “Pour Some Sugar On Me. See live video footage at the end of this post. It was as if I had been transported back to the mid-eighties when they hit their height of popularity. Adrenaline and high-octane energy were in abundance from the crowd and the band members. You can see in the image to the right, from my mobile phone, that Vivian Campbell is ripped and in shape as all the members appeared to be, from all the bands, for that matter.
