Short posts due to not wishing to be overly wordy about an item or simply about, or a link to, another site on the interwebs.
ATHF: Movie film for DVD
I had a good chuckle reading this week’s Entertainment Weekly. They had the stats for last week’s film box office takes and the ATHF flick only managed $3 mil. Well, what was [adultswim] expecting? This should have been straight to DVD. I heard nothing but bad buzz for it beforehand, Mooninite Massacre aside (although I guess you can count that as bad too), and somehow the reviews were mixed?
Okay, I say that having read two… EW giving it a B- and Ty Burr giving it one star in the Boston Globe. Burr may go a little heavy on the stoner vibe — probably more a point for Swim’s latest crap than ATHF — but he has a point. No one outside of regular viewers were ever going to see this in theaters, so why didn’t they just go straight to DVD? I guess they probably got the $3 mil for free as those same goers will opt for the DVD as well, but still… I don’t want to wait (if it turns out to be good).
Oh… and no, I’m not playing along with their joke with my title…
Lost: One of Us
It bears repeating here since this is how my comments have been going lately, but Juliet is “now my favorite island hottie by far, but she did make me puke in my mouth a little bit by being in bed with Goodwin.”
Read the rest of my more intelligent — maybe — comments on this episode over on The Ed Zone.
Lost: Left Behind
If you read the previous Aside, I go on about the Women of Lost. Well, this episode features a little mud wrestling between Kate and Juliet… Mmm… what was I saying?
Lost: Expose
You know, I think I probably sound like a major, drooling fanboy in going on about the Women of Lost — yeah, sounds like a layout in a bunny mag — but, killing off Nikki was both brilliant and gutt wrenching… well, that general area anyway…
Four bucks a gallon?
Ugh… it could be a very expensive Summer for me if I don’t get a new job, or at least relocate mine. Filling up ~3 times a week is going to get even more painful…
Lost: The Man From Tallahassee
Okay, you know I haven’t been doing a good job keeping up with my blog or others when you realize two weeks later that you didn’t read a post you were about to comment on…
Anyway, my comments on the Locke-centric episode are on The Ed Zone.
Lost: Par Avion
Man, Claire was looking mighty fine with that black dye job. I actually forgot to comment on her flashback in my comments on Ed’s post, but it was sort of fluffy. I mean, we all figured out she was Jack’s half-sister in Ana Lucia’s flashback, right?
Lost: Enter 77
Certainly one of the stronger flashbacks of this season, right up there with Desmond and Juliet’s. For the rest of my thoughts, check out Ed’s post over on The Ed Zone.

Lucky and Flo
I was relating the original story of Lucky and Flo to Ed when we took in 300 a few weeks ago. He’s an owner of two Labs and it was just an interesting story to relate, but I don’t have a link to the original story I read.
L&F are two Labs on loan to the Malaysians as weapons in the fight against CD/DVD pirates. Instead of sniffing out bombs or drugs, they sniff out plastic-based entertainment warez. Anyway, since that time, there have been two more stories of their exploits, the latest being another big bust thanks to their finely tuned and trained snouts.
The middle story is the one I really wanted to comment on, and that is simply to question, WTF? What kind of a world is it when you put out a hit on two loveable Labs?
