Earlier this week, a projectionist was fired.

Who cares, right? Well, this is a little different.

You see, not too long ago, Fox held a screening of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer for exhibitors. It was at one of the Malco Theater chain, one that is small, but still known. Anyway, they held the screening, and a guy named Jesse Morrison was the projectionist.

After the film, Jesse went home and wrote a scathing review of the film for Ain't It Cool News under the name Memflix. Fox got a hold of the review, and complained to Malco's home office. And thus, a few days later, Jesse was canned.

To me, this says that Fox is worried about the film. What other reason is there for a huge company to freak out over a projectionist who wrote a little review for an internet web site? Apparently, Malco Theaters KNEW Jesse had been writing reviews for awhile for AICN, but never said anything about it. Couldn't care less. But now that their theater is threatened, they have to take action. It hardly seems fair.

"I'm not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."

Anyone else feel like this is a load of shit?

Miss Hilton reportedly said that to Barbara Walters during a collect phone call she made a few days ago.

It's already being reported that Miss Spoiled Rich Girl's father is planning her "Get Out Of Jail" Party for when the heiress is released from her four walled prison. I think we can feel pretty confident of the fact that the above quote will be null the second Paris sets foot into that party.

The top news story for the past few days has been all about Paris Hilton. Doesn't that strike anyone else as sad? Can't we be more interested in something else?

Just wanted to say congrats to my good friend, John Walsh! He appeared on The Price Is Right this morning, and won! John is going home with a dinette set, an oven range, kitchen appliances, and more!
This has been a life long dream of his, as he has watched the show since he was a small child. We used to watch it almost day at school, and he always spoke of wanting to be on the show.
Congrats again, and hope you can pay those taxes!

It's going to be a busy summer.

I don't know about most of you, but I like to use a portion of my summer wasting away my life watching TV on DVD that I don't usually have time to watch.
About two months ago, I bought the Buffy box set collection: all seven seasons, 40 discs, 144 episodes, 6048 minutes, 4.2 days.

That's a lot of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

For those of you who know me even a little bit, you're aware of the fact that I'm a HUGE Lost fanatic. I obsess over each episode, scour the internet for various insights, and even spent an entire summer creating a short film based on the show.

Well, I felt the same way about Buffy between 1997 - 2003. It was my favorite show, and nothing got in the way of me watching the new episode every week. Hell, I used to kick people out of my room, lock the door, and completely lose myself in that week's adventure. It got a little ridiculous sometimes. During freshman year of college,I almost got into a fist fight with someone who kept knocking on my door during one of the last episodes of the series (I know, I'm a bit excessive. I admit it).

Anyway, I started around the middle of May, and I'm currently on Season 4, Disc 2, Episode 6.

It's fantastic to be able to go through a show you love. I'm rediscovering my love for all things Joss Whedon. As it stands so far, Season Three is my favorite. Season One was good, but it seemed to be lacking in the writing we all got used too through out the rest of the series. Season Two was fantastic, and had one of the top five best finales of any TV show ever. But Season Three is top notch. The whole dynamic between there being two slayers, and Faith pretty much being Buffy's evil twin, is great. The Mayor is probably my favorite villain of all time, mostly because he just seems so damn perky all the time, and yet has this air of evil about him. And, Season Three contained my favorite episode, "The Zeppo," in which a full blown apocalypse is happening in Sunnydale (like it usually does), and yet we see it all through the eyes of Xander, after having been banned from helping the Scoobies defeat it. It's a hilarious look at how things happen behind the scenes when the world is ending.

However, at this point into Season Four, I feel as if the show hasn't aged well. Not quite up to standards with even the worst of Season Three episodes, Four seemed to struggle to find where it wanted to go early in the season. I'm six episodes in, and each one seems to be lacking in the writing department (However, I did just watch "Wild At Heart," in which Oz leaves Sunnydale to find himself. Those final moments of the episode is a heart-wrenching, that's for sure).

I look forward to continuing my journey into all things Buffy, and finishing up the series before the summer is out.

Just curious as to if there is anyone else making their way through DVD sets this summer, and if so, what ones and your thoughts on it?

So. This is where I'm going to write from now on. Be excited. And stuff.
