Food for Thought

Americans observed their Thanksgivings Day last week and millions of families celebrated with feasts galore. A while ago I received an email from a friend, I expected the usual porn, but instead I got a message that I found to be enlightening. The email showed photos of various families from around the world and the [...]

Mass Effect has mass appeal

So it’s been a while since I made a post. Despite the Writer’s Strike, I’ve been quite fortunate with getting work on feature films. The last couple of days I worked on the big budget feature “Watchmen“. The sets are amazing and the production has extra security to ensure that nothing is leaked out. All [...]

UFC 78: Validation – Fight Recap

Another spectacular UFC exhibition featured a stable of largely undefeated fighters meeting to validate their positions as the undisputed warriors of MMA. We lost our usual venue of a downtown penthouse since my buddy had to move out, so I decided to hold the UFC get-together at my place this time. I have to admit [...]

Life is Peachy

With no more scripts “Bionic Woman” just wrapped up, “Battlestar Galactica” is finishing its last episode before it too wraps up due to script shortage and “Intelligence” [...]

From his early days as the Fresh Prince, to his transition to television with “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, to the [...]

Approximately 12,000 writers are [...]

Fall Back . . . into Bed

November 4th marks the first time that we will observe Daylight Savings on the first Sunday of November instead of the last Sunday in October. At 2AM on Sunday, November 4th, don’t forget to set your clocks and watches back one hour and get some extra snooze time. Most of us are pretty “plugged in” [...]

Who’s Taking Home Halo 3 Legendary Edition?

I’ve kept you in suspense and now the time comes to announce the lucky winner for the Halo 3 Legendary Edition. What I did was go through each of the entries and double-checked to make sure each entry followed ALL five steps of the giveaway qualifications. I then printed off the names and email addresses [...]

October 2007 Top Commentators Shout-Out

Phew! What a day! Just spent the last 12 hours on set shooting the pilot episode for a new ABC television series titled “Samurai Girl“. I can’t say too much about it but it involves a lot of swords, guns, Yakuza and ninjas (flash bombs, ninjas stars and everything!). I hope it gets picked up [...]
