Heroes: Dying of the Light or Poor Writing?

With the World Series getting ready to roll let’s make with the baseball analogies. I’m starting to believe there are no Home Runs left in Heroes. Maybe it’s like the curse of the Bambino. The Red Sox traded Babe Ruth and suffered decade after decade of pain. Heroes traded it’s sanity and soul and is in the midst of hell.

“If this were a dictatorship, it’d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator.” - George W. Bush
I say with all due respect that if there was anyone qualified to be the Hollywood hatchet man to take whack at one of the most hated presidents in U.S. history, Oliver Stone would be the one. However, I was a little taken aback by the fact the man who brought us such intensely powerful films as Platoon, JFK, and Born on the Fourth of July has given us a film like W, almost as lightweight of an epic as the intellect of the man who’s biography is being portrayed.

Election 08: McCain Falters and Obama Surges. Why?

As of today, all the national media polls have Obama with double digit leads. One of the reasons I haven’t written too much about politics is because the entire process inspires way too much passion the last 8 years or so and getting worked up about it generally pisses me off.
I won’t make any bones about this, I was a raised in a staunchly Republican household and just as in my Catholic upbringing, the beliefs were indoctrinated from an early age. It’s for another time to argue why I’m no longer a conservative. At that point you can start pointing out why you think I’m a bleeding heart liberal or whatever the hell, but I will offer as objective a view as I can as to why I think the polls are swinging heavily Obama’s way, and they aren’t all reasons I’m seeing the pundits mention in the media. Personally, I think they’re missing some of the fairly obvious, but perhaps less politically correct observations so far. Read More...
Heroes: Angels, Demons and Boredom

Ratings for season 3 of Heroes continue their slide going into week 4. I think the sins of season 2 are not forgotten. Producer Tim Kring had to apologize for the mess that was last year. I have the bad feeling that nothing short of a spectacular launch for the new year could have prevented the loss of viewership. Season 3 has not been spectacular and though last week’s outing was the best in a while, we returned back to a dry, slow, aimless hour of television with tonight’s Angels and Demons.

Current younger gamers may have some exposure to the game either through various Activision collections on current or recent gen consoles or through Atari 2600 emulators but there is a major difference between these versions and the original. That would be the controls. Read More...
