Fran Drescher writes about the crackdown on decency by the FCC. And you might want to spread the word about this bil to keep them out of cable, satellite, the internet, and non-broadcast providers, and contact your representative.

I've been coasting lately by waiting until I felt strongly enough about something to get on the soapbox about, but there's been too much cynicism in me to comment on recent developments, like the recent National ID card rider attached to getting more money to the troops (like anyone would vote against that in this atmos-fear) passing. So I'm not sure where to go or what to do. Have to chew on that awhile, kids.
Meanwhile, here's the movie poster for The Wallace and Gromit Movie.
Also, the new Entertainment Weekly had a piece about a game I heard about awhile back The Movies, a sim where you control a movie studio from 1920 to 2020, and can create you own movies. It mentioned even posting them online. However, a search (made difficult by the numerous entries that come up even when you enter "The Movies" in quotes) shows that it isn't coming out until October. Guess I'll have to keep plugging through Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for now. Another cool upcoming game for PS2 and X-Box is Destroy All Humans!, a game from the point of view of the alien. Played the demo on the recent X-Box Magazine disk, looks good, and more fun than Star Wars Lego Gamestop is offering preorders a free copy of Plan 9 From Outer Space DVD. You've heard about it, and this would be a good way to get it. I don't get anything if you get it that way, just pointing it out to you.
Also got something I've been looking for for awhile via eBay: the Peter Jackson as Hobbit figure. Word is it's short packed and going for $30-35. Got it for $20 including shipping.
Another week until Episode III. Yes, it sounds interesting and started to get excited about it. Hopefully they won't let us down again.

I've read on Ain't It Cool News that there's going to be another preview screening of Serenity May 26th. Going to be 20 cities this time. Going crazy trying to find out if Indianapolis is one of the cities. If anyone hears anything and can point me to a link, lemme know, 'kay?
Update: There's a list up here, but Indy isn't one of the cities. I work the next day, so so much for that. As Bubbles on Trailer Park Boys says, "Co--", well, I'd rather not use that word here. But it's a word used frequently on Deadwood, with emphasis on "sucker".

I was out sick earlier this week, been going though a lull.
Meanwhile, courtesy of Cephas comes a couple of outrages, one is about ABC accepting advertising from James Dobson's Focus on the Family after saying they don't accept religious advertising to UCC, as well as a bill that would prohibit the National Weather Service, an organization supported by taxpayer's money, to distribute their information for free. Mark Evanier pointed out in the past that this bill is sponsored by Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, apparently at the behest of AccuWeather, a company based in...aw, somebody told you. But doesn't Santorum live in Virginia?
And yes, I'm still pissed I'm not going to get to see Serenity tonight. But the wife's been clamoring to see the episodes of Firefly, the original series. Is she demanding to see the Enterprise episode on the TiVo, from 3 weeks ago? I don't think so.
