The iPhone was in the news yet again this week; Japanese iPhone owners will soon be able to watch TV on their iPhones with a TV Tuner add-on. The tuner will cost about $100, and will pick up over-the-air TV broadcast signals.
A commenter, Geoff, suggested that for the No More TV experiment, I get a [...]

A Long Time Ago…
Let’s talk Star Wars for a minute, shall we? Growing up, I was the biggest Star Wars fan. I was born about 3 months before the first Star Wars movie came out; I’m not sure when I first saw the movie, I remember going to the theater to see ESB [...]

This is very cool. Hulu has the premiere episode from the new season of 30 Rock (one of the only shows that has the potential to rival The Office for Best Show On TV) online! You can watch it on Hulu or anyone of their partner sites for 3 more days (not sure why it [...]

Entertainment Weekly: Five Ways to Fix Heroes - Jeff Jensen agrees with me; Heroes is broken, but not beyond fixing, as long as they act fast.

I’m a sucker for time-travel (as long as it’s used properly), and I was a big fan of last year’s one-season one-hit-wonder, Journeyman. So I’m interested to see if Life on Mars is going to be any good. On the plus side, it’s got Michael Imperioli and Harvey Keitel. The show released a screener earlier [...]

Let It Begin
I didn’t jump on the Heroes bandwagon at first; I think it took till the third or fourth episode for me to add it to my schedule (which is odd, since I’m a sci-fi nut; the same thing happened with BSG). But once I started watching, I was hooked. The first [...]
