Guess the continued rumors of this finally being the last season of 24 aren’t true yet again. Then again if you’ve been watching this season, you may be starting to wonder if anyone else is going to make it through this season, let alone three more. This could be the first show I’ve seen that kills (actually kills) the main character off before the show reaches its finale. This could be the push towards the 24 movie that has been murmuring in the background as well.

Only time will tell (insert 24 clock sound here, as I have no idea how to spell it – I would try Dink… Dink… Dink… Dink… but everyone knows that’s from SpaceBalls…)

Don’t know why I giggle like a schoolgirl every time I read something about the upcoming Transformers movie, but I do. Dark Horizons has word on a few actors being cast/sought after and Shia LaBeouf has made the list. Not the biggest name actor, but I’ve liked Shia since I first saw him in Disney’s Holes.

He did a decent job of carrying what was essentially a kids family movie, but after seeing him go from that to sharing the screen with Keanu in Constantine and Will Smith in I, Robot, I think he could easily pull it off. Not an overpowering actor, but he’s probably about as “Spike-ish” as there is in Hollywood.

Although he won’t be the reason I’ll be going to see the movie. Hopefully they don’t go with the Pokemon-y versions that are running these days and instead go back to the ‘Formers of old. Would be great if they can get some of the original cast to cover the voices, but that may be asking too much. If they pull it off, maybe we’ll see a GI Joe chaser in a few years.

I’ve admitted many times in the past (maybe not on this site), that I love the movie Back to the Future. One of my fave sites on the net is the timeline that has been put together, showing the various events that have taken place and comparing them to the other movies (I don’t think this is the original, but it very well could be.)

Well, it seems that someone has decided to do something similar (although without the movie to movie interaction part) with the creation of The Movie Timeline.

We aren’t talking one or two movies. We are talking a whole lotta movies. When the first five entries are from The Bible, Star Wars, and Adaptation, you have a bit of a feeling you are going to be all over the place. Prepare to waste a lot of time on otherwise useless trivia (yeah, I live for it too…)

Seems that PayPal answered fairly quick after my post a few days ago on accepting SMS based money exchanges, taking on new comer TextPayMe. Still not sure how quickly it will catch on, but the thought of doing cash free transfers face to face is intriguing if anything. Guess if you have a few tech heads on both sides of the transfer, this could catch on, otherwise it will probably take a transfer via the phone companies for this to hit mainstream.

Very cool little video up in the Land of Glutnix. He posted an update with a “spoof” video done by a guy juggling 5 instead of 3, but I agree with most of the posters on YouTube – it isn’t the act of juggling that is well done, it is the choreography and timing with the music.

Two Tone Spiderman: Seems someone has caught a little venom

Signed up for an interesting new service today called TextPayMe. Seems very similar to PayPal, but as opposed to sending money via email, you can send money via SMS. Very cool if you need to pay someone for something but don’t have access to an ATM or have any cash. Considering the amount of time I use a debit card, I find myself short on cash fairly regularly, so if something “spur of the moment” comes up, I’m usually out of luck.

I do get a referral if you follow the link, so I just wanted to make that clear.

Curious to see if this takes off the same way PayPal did, although I don’t know why PayPal doesn’t offer a similar service, as they already have enough customers to fold in a cell phone exchange. I could easily see a merging before it is all said and done, but considering PayPal is mainly used for eBay’ing, I could see why they have stayed away.

Since my last post was about the loss of Over There from the FX branch of Fox, its a nice turn to be able to welcome back Vic and the rest of The Shield crew back for yet another (and possibly final) season. Group that with Jack Bauer’s return on 24 this weekend, and I’m a happy TV fan for a while. Until they cancel something else…
