looking forward to this fall tv season..so many shows to watch. I'm definitely chomping at the bit waiting for heroes season 2. I have a reaper on my radar, and my girlfriend managed to get me hooked up in lincoln heights (don't ask, but if you watch season starts on the 4th). Anythign else I should be checking out?

i could go on for days with what i liked in this movie...the almost sex scenes were classic though.

I saw the pilot for this the other day, and Kevin Smith always gets my stamp of approval. http://www.cwtv.com/shows/reaper

Yeah not sure what mindset's deal was. Maybe he wanted to go home. What did you think of this last ep...it was damn good tv.

When I first heard the premise I wasn't thinking it would be much, but the trailer completely turned my opinion around. I'm definitely seeing this.

I don't know...I know I got made fun of for watching it in college. I've always thought history was pretty cool. Dogfights is great to watch, and I have the episode about possible space disasters of the Universe saved on my DVR.

ice road truckers is high quality. The universe has kept me interested as well... one of the upcoming episodes is about alien galaxies...thats got to be a good one.

i thought it was cool with they got their new costumes...although there was a common theme among most of the female costumes... Definitely entertaining.

Heroes was outstanding. I started late...on it, but catching up during the season was definitely worthwhile. I've been watching fallen all weekend...definitely worth it.

The sunday night hbo lineup is really good right now...one thing thats looking pretty cool...is the flash gordon remake on scifi. Anything where you get to hear "FLASH...AHHHHAHHHHHH...HE'S THE SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!!" is alright in my book.

Figured I'd start a thread to see what other people are watching this summer...I'm kind of looking forward to a movie that came on last summer, that abc family is finishing up this year called Fallen. Anything else I should be checking out? Anyone else waiting for fallen?

I mean...i think you are supposed to enjoy the comedy aspect...it seems to play the line of takign it seriously and straight up comedy pretty well. Just and FYI..the premiere is tonight at 9.

I like it...sue me. It definitely keeps me occupied during the summer. My new weekly viewing for this summer is the Universe...this kind of stuff has always interested me. Plus I've always loved mail call...good stuff.

...not a question in a literal sense. I'm talking about the TV show. I caught it midseason last year and noticed promos for it starting up again this week..It's campy and silly, but definitely entertaining..anyone else watch last year?

I'm still processing the absolute laugh riot that is "Business Time"

I played a mobile game (hold the jokes) the other day, that was actually worth my time. I don't normally play them, but when I saw a God of War game was available, I had to give it a shot. Definitely worthy of a pickup...actually makes you get the same feellings you get when you play the console version (somewhat).

Technologically gifted probably wasn't the best wording, but yeah when driving it's kind of cumbersome to use your phone for things. Plus, it's a lot better to hear someone telling you what to do than to try to read it. I'm not knocking the use of google maps and cell phones either, just think some people might be better served with nav systems.

QFT In the spirit of what these two guys said, I not only have GPS on my cell (which I rarely use), but Google Maps is actually downloadable to your phone these days as well, which I've used all the time since getting it. In fact, yesterday it was particularly useful since we were by my friend's house in North Portland and were headed to a party that I had no idea where it was. So, solution: Bust out my cell, go on facebook, catch the address, then open up Google Maps, and it was all mapped out right there for me. That's technology used practically. Unfortunately not everyone is technologically gifted as others. I'm into gadgets so obviously I could have done what you explained, but for others it's not that simple. Especially with some of the features that these navigational systems come with. The ability to get realtime traffic reporting on the tomtom is a godsend, I'm not sure there's another way to get that in the same format. IMHO.

I usually have a pretty good idea of where I'm going before I start driving, and don't really need to use the tomtom that much. But its great to have as a back up if for some reason you get lost or turned around. A few times I've gone somewhere and then decided to go somewhere else right after, and didn't know exactly how, or the fastest way to get there and the 910 has definitely helped me do that.

Does anyone else have one of these in their car. I kind of a tech nut so I went out and grabbed a TomTom Go 910 after doing a little research. I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm always going places I haven't exactly been before in the D.C. area, and its really good navigating through the streets of downtown. It also has a boatload of features, like the bluetooth phone connection, and the built in Mp3 player (great for when I forget my iPod). I especially like the ability to add other voices to it. I had Mr. T programmed in for a few days...and drove my gf nuts. Good times. Anyone else a tomtom fan?

Yeah I've seen a lot of 720p DLP sets popping up that seem like good deals. I think they work out fine for the non HD enthusiast who wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p, but for me I'd have to pass. I'd buy one for my girlfriends place though.

That seems like a double edged sword. The genius of the Suns is nash's ability. Essentially you would need another player with a skillset close to nash (at least passing wise) to basically be a facilitator of the offense. Stoudemire is completely uninterested in passing, and marion puts up decent assist numbers but by no means is he an excellent passer. It would be pretty hard to find someone with the passing acumen of nash who wouldn't be a complete liability on offense.

This movie looks outstanding. The R-Rated trailer is that much funnier. I've missed Michael Cera since the unfortunate end of Arrested Development. I've been getting my weekly fix with his new show. I think it's really funny, and shows some of the same wit and deadpan stuff that was in AD. It's called Clark and Michael and it's about him and his friend Clark trying to pitch a script in Hollywood. The eps come out every wednesday, and thats pretty much my reason for turning on my pc wednesday mornings. Has anyone else seen it?

Yeah, I've taken a few precautions to try and lengthen the life of my 360. In my stand it's on the bottom shelf, and I removed the middle shelf to give it more ventilation. I also never slide the glass in front of it when its on. I also lay it flat, and purchased a Nyko intercooler (makes some noise, but I guess it keeps it cooler). Who knows if any of that makes any difference, but I just had two friend's systems give out to the infamous "red rings of death", so why not try some things to prevent it. I agree it is pretty sad about the failure rate of these machines, but I'm sure what else to expect.

My forays into older games are done mostly through ESPN classic. But for my money the only team that could keep up with the teams in 70's and 80's as far as speed is concerned is the Suns. They would be the only team that could manage that kind of speed consistently. The current incarnation of Warriors would be able to keep up on one of their better days.
