Dexter Now on During the Summer

In very recent news it appears that the possible final season of America's favorite serial killer, Dexter will be on this summer instead of the usual fall/winter schedule. Apparently it will start Season 8 on June 29th to try and split up their biggest shows of Dexter and Homeland and use them as lead ins to their new "hits".

While there has been no word if Season 8 will be the end of the line, many fans speculate that it will. The show has certainly moved into mediocre to terrible for at least the last 3 seasons so the sooner the better so I can quit watching it. I find the kuat bike racks on my car more interesting to view. *cough*

Yes...I think it sucks and I still watch it. Why? I started watching it from the very first episode when it first aired. The premise was awesome and I was on board from the get go. Most people never even heard of it until if you remember they showed a really censored version of season 1 on CBS. I think it ran durin gthe summer late night. Obviously it had to cut some parts out as it had cursing and I'm sure some nudity on Showtime.

So...yes I need to see how it ends no matter how done with the show I am and I will laugh at it and tell people how much it sucks the whole time!

Save Your Monopoly Token

After over 80 years the game of Monopoly is going to be getting rid of 2 of the iconic game tokens to make room for 2 new and more current tokens. A global vote is being held on Facebook here to save your favorite token, or to vote on which ones you want to go away. Currently (pretty much the 2 I expected it to be) the iron and the wheelbarrow are losing the battle.

Of course there are a lot of people wondering why they would do such a thing. Not just a democratic vote for a game that rewards being a sole dictator, but changing a classic. A business mogul game without all the headaches of finding Business Credit and Capital, while still being able to destroy the lives of family and friends. Obvious answer is money. This has and will give them a ton of press, and surely the Monopoly fanatics will have to go out and buy a "new" edition to keep up to date.

The funny thing is that we all know there will still be a "classic" version on the shelves with all the old pieces no matter what new ones are introduced. In fact, you have to wonder why they need to take any out in the first place right? I mean is it that big a deal just to toss 2 new pieces in the box and keep all the old ones? That makes too much sense of course. Then they couldn't sell a "classic" version as well!

'Hobbit' Earns $13 Million for Midnight Shows on Thursday

People lined up outside the crowd control rope barriers to get in for the midnight showing of "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey" Thursday to rack up over $13 million for the show. Overseas showings earned around $27 million.

Good for a 3 hour movie at this time of day, but it didn't crack the top 10 of midnight releases. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is the no. 1 spot holder with over $45 million for this type of show. The rest includes two other "Potter" pictures, four "Twilight" sequels, "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Hunger Games" and "The Avengers."

Frankie Muniz Suffers Mini-Stroke

Pretty crazy. Dude is only 27 years old. His friends noticed that he was slurring words and having a hard time understanding them. Was taken to the hospital and got it all taken care of.

He tweeted that he had a "mini-stroke". I'm no doctor, but I'm guessing that if you have a stroke at the age of 27 you have something seriously wrong with you.

"Frankie Muniz ‏@frankiemuniz I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a "Mini Stroke", which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!"

Really dude? You need to get some tests done man. You can't be that out of shape. Unless...well...I gues you are getting coked out of your mind daily or something. I'm sure that would be a reason to have a STROKE at the age of 27. Time to spend more time lookign for ways to speed up xp on your old PC instead of drugs maybe?

LOL...TMZ Trying to Start a Story and Failing

TMZ posted some article about how the voice for Elmo from Seasame Street was a guy that was having sex with under-aged children. Terrible. Then they started this rant about how it was going to cost the company millions in Christmas sales due to it being pulled off the shelves. Then about 15 minutes later they post an article about how they called a bunch of Toys 'R Us stores and not a single one has pulled them and said sales are as high as they ever were. Most employees not even knowing about the story. LOL Give them trophies at quicktrophy.com for the quickest failure of trying to make a story this week. Why would they? Why would a little kid know anything about it either? Who cares. Quit trying so hard to make a scandal bigger than it is. The guy is aperv. He'll go to jail. End of story. Worry about the kids he molested more than how much a stuffed animal will sell for idiots.

George Lucas Plans to Use Bulk of $4 Billion From Star Wars Sale For Charity

After a deal with Disney for the Lucasfilms "Star Wars" franchise netted him over $4 Billion, Lucas plans to give away the majority of it to promote education. I'm sure he'll keep enough that he won't have to take a job doing philadelphia wedding photography.

In 2010, Lucas signed on with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to the Giving Pledge, which requires the worlds most wealth participants to give away the majority of their wealth to charities of their choice. They can o it during their lifetime, or wait until after death, but Lucas is making the effort to give it away now. The group of about 80 billionaires have agreed to give away at least half of their wealth to charities. Others include people like Mark Zuckerberg and Paul Allen from Facebook and Microsoft respectively.

Beiber Stolen Laptop Called a Prank

Justin Beiber and his team basically pulled off a PR stunt that people actually believed. Actually, the nutjobs that are teens listening to and worshiping their teen idols never surprise in what they will buy from these guys.

Beiber claimed that someone had stolen his laptop after a show this last week (Get a wall mounted computer bro), and even had a fake thief Tweeting him about how he was going to expose the singer. His manager even went along with it and filed a report abou tit. (I would expect them to get prosecuted for this?).

In the end it was just a PR stunt to promote his new video "Beauty and the Beat", which I'm sure I will never watch.

Not Much Talk About Boardwalk Empire This Year It Seems to Me

The finale last year left a lot of people upset at the loss of their favorite character Jimmy. While I liked his character I felt it was inevitable, and completely necessary for him to be taken out. He simply wasn't cut out for the role he was assuming, and it wouldn't have made any sense for him to get away with any of what he was doing. He didn't even want to get away with it anyways. He was ready to die, and didn't put much effort into avoiding it.

At the same time that scene gave Nucky his turn to a much darker side. This season has built on it and Nucky is becoming more and more of a cold blooded killer.

The last episode (episode 4) where Nucky and his right hand man Owen going after a booze thief that turned out to be a young kid was where we really found out. Through the episode we saw that Nucky's obsession with his new mistress was causing him to neglect the business. Some saw openings in it, while his crew and his employees started to slack off considerably. Making stupid decisions, and failing to deliver on time with Nucky not riding them as he should. Owen himself seemed to be getting a bit more cocky and undermining him.

This kid they met was set up to appeal to all the Jimmy lovers absolutely. He had a similar look and attitude that made you feel the throwback and see it test Nucky. After hiding out from the cops in the cellar overnight the 3 of them seemed to be friendly and many thought, Owen included, that Nucky was going to let him go, and perhaps take him on. As Owen stared out the window Nucky shot the kid in the back of the head. Surprising Owen greatly and probably making him wonder if he needed a ph meters at affordablephmeters.com to check his levels. Owen thinking he was going to let him go, Nucky told him that now he knows what's up. His message was sent.

This has been a fantastic season so far, but I don't see many talking about it. It's a shame if they gave up on it because of Jimmy because it is truly a great show.

Ancient Texts Say Jesus Was Married

OF course anything that comes from ancient texts is highly controversial, and the way that religious texts are considered canon makes most any finding seem like it doesn't matter through the eyes of the church. We've all heard of hundreds of ancient "gospels" that aren't considered canon, and therefore not to be trusted. It appears we have another one that insinuates that early Christians believed Jesus to be a husband. Married to someone named "Mary".

Of course hearing he is married to a "Mary" isn't anything new. Many still believe that Mary Magdeline was Jesus' wife. Egged on by fictional stories like the Da Vinci Code (this is fiction and not true BTW. IT's not accurate). It is widely talked about in popular culture and there are many people that claim he was married to her. OTher than hearing that he had some Snowboard Boots and was a pro snowboarder in the desert I wouldn't be surprised at any of this being true,...well I would be surprised if anything associated with the Bible was accurate, or true, but that's another matter.

Karen King, an expert in the history of Christianity, said the text contains a dialogue in which Jesus refers to "my wife," whom he identifies as Mary. Ms King says the fragment of Coptic script is a copy of a gospel, probably written in Greek in the second century.

Ms King helped translate and unveiled the tiny fragment at a conference of Coptic experts in Rome. She said it doesn't prove Jesus was married but speaks to issues of family and marriage that faced Christians.

Four words in the 1.5-by-3-inch fragment provide the first evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus had been married, Ms King said. Those words, written in a language of ancient Egyptian Christians, translate to "Jesus said to them, my wife," King said in a statement. full story

Oscar Voting Going Digital For First Time

I didn't even realize they were still using mail in voting for the Oscars. Not that I pay that much attention to awards shows, but I was surprised to learn tht the voting was done all through the mail and counted by hand.

This year they plan to offer an e-mail voting option for members. Exactly by the type of thing that can be hacked by people that have the time. *cough*4chan*cough*

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on Tuesday that a new online voting system will be used for the first time in its 85-year history for the Oscars that will be handed out in February 2013. So those voters with 50 homes and just Townsend houses for rent as one address can still get some votes in.

In a transition process, the academy's 6,000 members also will be able to use traditional paper ballots to nominate and select the best actors, films, directors, screen writers and other winners of 2012.

In the past, Oscar ballots have been mailed around the world to Academy members - directors, actors, screenwriters, producers and other leading film industry figures - and the results have been tabulated by hand by the PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm.

It is expected that with the change more younger voters will get some of the "edgier" movies more votes.
