TV on the Net and TV on the Radio
I’ve gotten rather blog-happy in the last few days. There must be a lot to talk about. That, or I have nothing better to do.
On that note, CBS has full episodes of old shows available for viewing. Free. Best of all, full episodes of Star Trek. Yeah boyeee! As if I wasn’t busy enough getting sprinklers fixed and setting up our new nifty auto-bottom-loading-water-dispenser. Along with their newest shows (booo), they also have The Twlight Zone, The Love Boat, The Beverly Hillbillies, Family Ties (LOL), and Twin Peaks – to name a few. This is just the thing I need to help me get through the Summer TV Blues while waiting for Heroes to start, which BTW starts in September *hap hap happy*
Oh! And check this out! If you like The Twlight Zone (as I do), since 2002, producer Carl Amari (I had to look him up) has been creating radio versions of Twilight Zone episodes. They’re already done 130 out of 156 and utilize the talents of some well known (and not so well known) actors including Jason Alexander, Luke Perry, Blair Underwood, Jane Seymour, Mayor Adam West, Stan Freberg (AJB should love that), John Ratzenberger, and tons more. What a nifty idea. It’s playing everywhere on various stations except Los Angeles, but apparently it’s also available on XFM. You can also download individual episodes for under a buck.
Along with that, Amari is also producing new Twilight Zone episodes – or radio dramas in the “style” of TZ. Rod would be proud. Actually, Rod might not want to do something as arcane as radio dramas, but I think he’d dig the irony. I’m gonna listen to some…’cause that’s how I roll.
Nintendo Amusement Park
This video was posted a year ago, but according to their site, not a whole lot has changed. The Nintendo Amusement Park is more like a garage set up versus an actual amusement park, but you can’t blame people for trying.
They’re looking for investors, if anyone’s interested:

Storm Watch 2008
OMG is it ever raining! Does anyone know where I can find blueprints for an ark? I’ve already got two cats.
If you’re so inclined, you can track the storm with Eyewitness 7′s Super-duper, uber, mega, awesome, magnifico Doppler 7000…ma’bob Storm Tracker of Fury.

Rod Serling: True Today As He Ever Was
As millions of people descend on the city of Pasadena, like locusts, I take comfort in simple pleasures: The Sci-Fi Channel’s annual New Year’s Eve Twilight Zone Marathon. All hail the Sci-Fi Channel for good taste and wise choices in programming.
And if you ever had any question about Rod Serling’s divine intelligence, charm, style, and wit; behold, part’s 1 and 2 of the Mike Wallace Rod Serling Interview. In it, Rod and Mike talk about (among other things) censorship and a new series called The Twilight Zone. Pay close attention and you’ll realize that in 40 years, not a whole lot has changed in regards to the gentrification of television, it’s writers, controversial material. You further realize that Rod Serling was not only a well spoken revolutionary, but a diligent visionary as well.
Lame Ass Year End Survey
Might as well. I always do some sort of retrospective at the end of the year, but since I’m addicted to these things, I figured I’d entertain myself and start early.

Star Wars Celebration IV – Los Angeles Convention Center
I know I look cool, but underneath my hip facade, I’m a big nerd. I love conventions and I love the people that dedicate their life to living on the fringes of society. These people put so much time and detail into their costumes resulting in walking works of art. And when you get to know them, you realize that these people are far superior to the nameless, faceless drones that live so called “normal” lives.
Saturday, my brother took me to the biggest Star Wars convention of the year: The Star Wars Celebration IV at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Star Wars which was released May 25th, 1977.
Comic Con Pictures
Pictures from this year’s International Comic Con in San Diego are now online at Dark Culture Magazine. I wasn’t sure that they fit the overall dark theme of the magazine, but couldn’t figure out where else to put them…my Flickr quota isn’t enough and I didn’t really want strangers looking through my family photos at the Kodak Gallery.
Anyway…
