The Brog's Best Review Of Stuff 2010: Red Letter Media "Star Wars: Episode III"

For the past couple year's Mr. Plinkett has stolen our hearts and possibly hidden them in his freezer [next to the pizza rolls]. If only my reviews could be as aptly detailed as they are long and bloated. Enjoy his newest review [as of me posting this] and be sure to visit his site and compliment the oddities you discover. If you don't, he'll kill again. 

Honorable Mention: Demetry James' review of Greg Jenning's Leg being broken in Madden, His review of the Giants vs Eagles game, and his review of the Cowboys vs Vikings.

Commercial Break: The 'Antoine Dodson' Thing Is Done

Trying to remember every event that occurred in one month is a feat, but trying to remember a year's worth is damn taxing. One thing is for sure, I can rest easy knowing that Antoine Dodson, within one year, stole the hearts of the average Youtube viewer. Within that same year, the media and sites like this have managed to make the charming Dodson one of the most over-used memes in the history of 'memery'. So it is with a heavy heart that I say, "Antoine Dodson, your 15-minutes of fame are up."

Sidenote: Don't know what's worse, this song or the fact that this is the go-to ad for the George Lopez show.

Cheers.

Vote No On Outsourced

Come November, vote no on crap television!

This week is the final week for us American’s to step into a voting booth and vote on the issues we care about most. We’ve been inundated with junk mail and ads every other commercial break, but I want to take time out discuss a serious topic you should care about. Though November 2nd is the final day your vote will be counted, Thursday night on NBC [or NBC.com depending on how you watch the network] is a night where your vote will decide if public television will spiral further into Armageddon. People, when you sit down and you see a little television show starring a ‘stock white 30-something bro’ educating an office setting of naive New Delhians, I want you to think about your future and how terrible Outsourced is.

Outsourced’s only positive contribution to society is that its giving the talented Dietrich Bader work for the next year. This is where you come in. If you see a commercial, credits or anything affiliated with the show, click that s**t off! There are two jokes in Outsourced. One relies on this supposed culture clash between this American white man making fun of the naivete of Indian culture while showing them the foreign and strange ways of Americans [see also: The Balloween episode].  The second joke is far too rote. Don’t Indian people who speak English sound hilarious? Heck, there’s a character named Manmeat on the show, so how could that not be funny? Making fun of how Indian people talk and how strange their very Indian names sound was about as funny when I heard it the first hundred times on The Simpsons. And with all due respect, The Simpsons did it better.

So, my fellow Americans, you have a choice. You can contribute to the longest, unfunny Apu joke running on NBC. Or you could make a stand, right here and right now. Tell your friends who watch Outsourced, that doing so kills Jesus or whatever diety they worship. If they are atheist, tell them Outsourced is funded by all religions and in someway contributes to the anti-atheist movement [there is one right?]. I’ve watched NBC air such gems as the reboot of both Knight Rider and American Gladiators. Both equally offensive by the their own right and still managed to be somewhat entertaining [taste did not apply]. However, Outsourced is the Alamo in regards to what you [the viewer] will tolerate. It is a show that spits in your face while asking you to tune in each Thursday for the same joke. So this Thursday, vote no on Outsourced and in doing so, you’re voting yes for freedom.

Thank you for your time,

Stuff I've Been Reading...

In a change of pace from my overly syllabic reviews and rants let me bend your ear to books I've been reading or at least trying to read between all the game playing, website building and movie watching. These past couple of months have bore the fruit of quite the interesting couple of books and dvds. Some of the literature are education-oriented and books most of you have probably read in the sixth grade, but others really surprised me given the medium of being graphic novels.

Dollhouse: Why Are You This Bad?

How is it possible to undo all the good faith acquired by the finnicky nerdcore genre? Portions of the GLAAD community? As well as fans of just, plain good television? Mr. Joss Whedon has assembled something so woefully trite and flat out boring it makes the remake of Knight Rider seem like Whitman'sDollhouse [at this point] three times-out-of-four, will have an interesting premise, the lead character lets the show fall flat on its pretty face. "Leaves of Grass". Though Dollhouse [at this point] three times-out-of-four, will have an interesting premise, the lead character lets the show fall flat on its pretty face.

I Can't Believe I Just Watched The Superbowl

Even now...it still was a waste of money...and it still doesn't make sense.

Me and the gf were all set for a night of passionate movie watching [that's what we call it].  The Superbowl came up in conversation prior to me putting a dvd in, but it was something to the effect of 'who do yo think is actually going to watch it?', what transpired next could only be described was an example of how a spectacle can captivate and deliver.

TV Hell - Why Sci-Fi Future Is Still Shaky

After A Couple Key Series Play Out This Season Sci-Fi Television May Have To Check For A Couple Polyps

As more of a fan of science fiction books and movies, television has always been a bit of a dice roll with me.  I was a huge fan of the X-Files as a kid. Occasionally I could get into some Next Generation and if the planets were aligned properly Xena/Outer Limits and many other off-shoots sparingly.

Rich over at TV Hell.net shares my sentiment, when Battlestar wraps up this year and the rest of the newer science fiction shows reveal more of their plots, Sci-Fi television could be up a creek.
