What did I learn from this week's episode Hell's Kitchen?
That the insult "Stupid Cow" is terrifically under-used these days.
That and "busted ass" doesn't mean work hard... sorry, no matter what you might think.

Heroes
Claire Bennet wears too damn much make-up for sitting around looking at college brochures. Its very noticeable, and just looks darn strange...
Just thought I'd share.

Super Bowl XXVIIIVSXXFJSSS (Or Whatever)
Just some notes I jotted down during the Super Bowl, and then forgot to post:
Hyundai genesis? Is that a car that’s worthy of being the prime sponsor for the Superbowl pregame show? It’s a freaking sedan…
Other movies I want to see because of the lead actor: Chris Eccleston in GI Joe, Optimus Prime in Transformers
Anyone noticed a strange resemblance between John Elway and Gary Busey? They’ve both got that rather crazy grin, and some rather wacky hair.
Interesting to me that Kurt Warner isn’t one of the captains for the Cardinals at the coin toss...
Ken Wisenhunt’s challenge of the supposed Roethlisberger touchdown. I totally called that one as not a touchdown…
The use of cell-phones instead of lighters at concerts… ridiculous…
Roethlisberger is wily little devil. Only not so little. Did a fantastic job of keeping a bunch of plays around.
Wildcat formation. Heard about it, never seen it. Does QB play in that formation? I’m curious.
There is an impressive amount of pelvic thrusting in the celebrations by the players in this game.
Good use of angry eyebrows with the Mr. Potato head commercial.
Did I make my Medium joke earlier? The one about a spin-off named “Sort of Crappy”?
Never noticed that they swapped the locations of the teams on the score thingy, depending on what side of the direction they’re going (i.e. swapping sides of the field every quarter).
Oh, and by the way, Roethlisberger is sooooooper annoying to type.
Co-worker had a sign/poster/thing on his office door that said “70% of the Earth is covered by water. The other 30% is covered by Troy Polamalu. I guess that means there’s still a market for those Polamalu/Manatee hybrids I was planning.
So, Bud Light has Drinkability… because its water? And drinkability isn’t a typo, according to the spell checker on my computer…
Nice Car, Jay Leno. I wants it.
Do NFL players have really fancy belts? How do they keep from getting pantsed? Seems like it would be rather likely for players to get pantsed quite often. There must be some super special technology keeping the player’s pants up…
Damn nice interception return. Ended up being crucial that the guy slid into the endzone on Fitzgerald’s legs, rather than hitting the ground.
As someone lacking 3D glasses, those 3D things really made my head hurt.
Soul Patch = Dumb as hell.
Bruce Springsteen just got himself knocked in the business with a camera. And it’s his own dam fault. I laughed. And I’m not ashamed to say it.
I like Springsteen’s guitar. Sufficiently beat up. Doesn’t look brand new.
Apparently Punching Koalas = Hilarious.
Nice Touchdown drive by the Cardinals
Liked the Hulu Commercial. Involved the phrase “Cerebral Gelatinization” or whatever. How can you go wrong with that?
Seems that the Running Back, the Wide Receiver, and some defense guy all have the same hair.
Nice Richard Dean Anderson Cameo in the Pepsuber commercial. Or whatever the hell. Good thing he got blowed up. He’s got nothing on MacGuyver. But it is a shame that RDA had to get blowed up too. I like to think that his awesomeness saved him. Maybe a last minute beam out by the Odyssey or something…
Crucial catch by Holmes there. But, damn. Holding that results in a Safety. Oh, damn. That’s huge…
Also, nice use of “The Final Countdown” after Carolina’s go-ahead touchdown.
In completely unrelated news, I think that our file is magnetic. I wonder I’ve I’ve just filed enough magnetic stuff…
Also, GoDaddy.com commercials are dumb as hell
Damn good last few minutes, though… Lots of stupid penalties and stuff early, but it’s been a fantastic endgame.
Quite surprised by how well Arizona did. They’re the Cardinals after all. Good game all around.
Seriously? The Steelers’ owner thanking Obama? For no apparent reason.
Yay William and Mary? Alumni is the youngest Super Bowl coach… Good for him. Says “uh” a lot though. But he did say that he takes his hat off for his players. But he kept his hat on.
And apparently Santonio Holmes is cocky/arrogant as all get out. But I guess he can do that, being the Super Bowl MVP and all.
One small step for man, one giant leap for Goattee kind. Yay Roethlisberger. (Had to type it one last time)
I wonder if they get multiple versions of those fancy shirts. Because it looks like they put it on over their other clothes (Tomlin had his on over his fleece). Seems that would fit pretty poorly if you weren’t wearing all sorts of clothes underneath. I suppose they make enough money that they can buy themselves a new one.

Wyvern
Nick Chinlund (2009) A monstrous draagon terrorizes residents of a small town.
Sci-Fi Saturday movie from 1/31.
I just noticed Don S. Davis' name in the opening credits. I think this might actually be his final film before he died. You might remember him from such roles as General George Hammond from SG1, and the alien creature impersonating General George Hammond in that one Stargate Atlantis episode. Home maybe. I can't really remember... Sadly, he seems to have been demoted to Colonel in this one. And if you ever wanted to see Don S. Davis wandering about in boxers and a bathrobe, this is definitely the movie for you.
And he seems to actually have a pretty good sized role in this one. Unlike some of his other stuff he's been in lately. Davis does do a nice job portraying the crotchety old crazy guy character...
Oh, good. Now there's the crazy lady who's claiming its the End of Days.
And Barry Corbin apparently is that crotchety old guy that you can see in a bunch of movies. I really like him, as I'm fond of crazy crotchety old guy characters. They're always good for a laugh. And his name is Haas. Which is really only humorous for me and my family, but that's neither here nor there.
I've decided that this movie is the best Sci-Fi Original Movie that I've seen in a while. Solely due to the fact that there are 2 crazy crotchety old guy characters in this movie. And they've both survived for a good portion of the movie. Good for them. Hopefully it stays that way.
And General Hammond just accentuated his awesomeness with a gigantic pair of aviators. Dude's got some style.
Hypothetical Question: If your arm got torn off, could you survive for an extended period of time without tying a tourniquet? Because this guy got his arm ripped off early in the movie, and is only now waking up to tie a tourniquet around it. Seems like that's just too many arteries and veins and stuff to clot properly before you eventually run out of blood...
Movies that are coming out soon that I want to see, solely because I like the lead actor: Taken with Liam Neeson, and The International with Clive Owen.
Oh no! Haas just got stab-ified by the creature's tail. Durn creature. Couldn't you have killed someone who wasn't a crotchety old guy instead?
And the SciFi (tm) Deus Ex Machina of the movie is Main Character Dude's replacement truck. There was a bit of backstory and stuff, but I didn't feel like mentioning it in the review. And also, it seems that I've neglected to even mention Main Character Dude. Ah, well, whatever. He's not as cool as The Colonel and Haas.
And now the Wyvern is dead, because it got skooshed under a truck when it jumped into the quarry that we've never even heard of before. Good thing they had one of those laying around. Or is it lying? I can never remember the difference between the 2...
And The Colonel's M16 has a hi-cap winding wheel on the bottom of the mag. Pretty sure its a Classic Army. I'd been suspecting it from the first time it showed up on screen.
And a nice "In Memory Of" tribute to Don S. Davis at the end. Also a nice tribute how he managed to survive the whole movie. Not really something he's known to do in these Sci-Fi Original Pictures.

Puppy Bowl V
I'd forgotten that this existed.
And apparently there's a very fluffy brown dog named Moose. That has crazy eyes. Tis a very floofy dog.
Space Buddies? Seriously? That franchise is still going? I'm thoroughly surprised, and kinda disturbed. The trailer they showed looks positively horrible. And in case you were confused by my use of the word "positively", I did not mean to imply any sort of good parts to that trailer. Twas all terrible. And one of those dogs keeps ending his sentences with the word "dog". I hope that whenever they land on the moon, there's some sort of alien presence there, to punt them into orbit. Perhaps that would finally spell the end of this durn franchise.
And there are far too many commercials in this.
And apparently the puppies accidentally score some times. I was kind of surprised...
And Animal Planet apparently has some sort of reality show about Jockeys.
And now there are cats. They're apparently the half-time show. There is so much more to Puppy Bowl than I ever knew. Apparently they swap out puppies ever quarter as well...
And I've learned something new today: Apparently really little kittens have a "what the hell is going on?" expression permanently grafted to their faces...
And we're done with this...

Super Bowl
Not sure who to root for... Roethlisberger from the Steelers has Swiss ancestry. But the Cardinals, are, well... the Cardinals... And its just sort of absurd that the Cardinals are in the Super Bowl.
