In Memory of Heath Ledger

. . . well, at least he was hooking up (or shooting up) with Mary Kate Olsen (or was it Ashley? - either way, that's pretty good.)

Star Trek - The Newestest Generation

The trailer for the newest Star Trek movie has finally appeared. I am actually a little excited about this one. Here are some details.

Release Date: December 25, 2008

• Chris Pine - Kirk
• Zachary Quinto - Spock
• Zoe Saldana - Uhura
• Karl Urban - Bones McCoy
• John Cho - Sulu
• Simon Pegg - Scotty
• Anton Yelchin - Chekov

Some other Characters

• Eric Bana - Nero
• Winona Ryder - Amanda Grayson
• Bruce Greenwood - Christopher Pike
• Leonard Nimoy - Spock

I like the idea that they went with a generally unknown or little known actors for the primary cast. JJ Abrams is not a director I completely trust. I do like some of the things he has done and I can appreciate that he tries to do things a little different. And after the last Star Trek movie, something different definately needs to be done.

Greetings to All

I noticed that Dave Law has posted some of my trivia that I send around, so I figured why not just ask permission to join up and post it myself. The guys were nice enough to allow me to sound off on my own.

Much appreciated.

To start, I think most of you know me or at least have heard stories about me. Some are true, some are . . . . . Well, most of them are true.

I am bit of a pop culture junkie, so expect to see a great deal of nonsense from me.

I promise to keep it clean.

Lord of the Manor, King of the Castle, Master of his Domain

As you can see this dog is growing up very quickly. Quite a difference from the original pictures of him I posted back in October. There is no question that he is the King of the Condo. He's pictured here defiantly staring me down from the comfort of my favorite spot on the couch.
