Lenopocalypse

So it's been a few months, and here is how the late-night wars stand:
Conan has been picked up by TBS to provide a lead-in for George Lopez. Looks like a good choice.

In late night Letterman has been failing badly and he's in last place. Nightline is ahead of him, and Leno is ahead of nightline.
AND ALL OF THEM ARE BEHIND "FAMILY GUY" RERUNS ON ADULTSWIM!!!!!

Seriously, just checked the numbers. Reruns of family guy get more viewers than new episodes of Leno or Letterman. Same timeslot and everything.

Two movies to review

First up: "She's out of my league" Avoid this movie. There are moments of amusement, but mostly the movie is just awful. The awkward scenes are far too long, too frequent, and too goddamn awkward. It was almost more than I could bear.

Second movie: Starship Troopers 3. This was surprising. It was actually better than Starship troopers 1. But that's not saying much. Heavy religious bent throughout the movie, but still bearable. One major flaw of three vs one, is that is that there is zero fucking in the whole movie. Still not a good movie, but better than the first one.
