    Batman Begins Poster

    Marketing decision probably. The red stands out, so if you're Joe Idiot, you can figure out what movie it is. btw your Rachel Ray picture there rules.

    Amy Lee

    This is true. I don't think that any other "name" musician has cameoed on Trading Spaces...

    Apprentice 2

    So you haven't seen the new Maxim yet then? Seven isn't one of the girls featured, but Sandy is (and Blinky, non-midget Stacie, won't shut up Jen and Pamela). And yes, I'm reading quite a bit into that...

    Apprentice 2

    Job experience trumps (no pun intended) wordsmithing skills. Its more impressive to be able to give real-life examples to answer questions than it is to make unverifiable personal statements about ability and business philosophy. You can have all the job experience in the world, with lots of examples to draw from, but it means nothing if you can't get through to the interviewer, and this is (sadly) where I think the Jen-bot has an advantage. We know she's got job experience (since Andy was the only one who didn't), and we've seen her BS through presentations (QVC, Levis) and earn the praise of PMs and execs, so I really do feel that she'll do well, as much as I hate to say it.

    Apprentice 2

    The thing with the interviews is that I think the interviewers have no prior knowledge of what's gone on in the past. So they don't know Jen, and that is a "yooge" advantage for her. For that same reason, Sandy is at a disadvantage. Remember, she's an entrepreneur, so getting interviewed for a job is probably not something she's accustomed to. And again, these people are probably inclined to look down on her because she didn't go to some Ivy League school. I see her going the Amy route with the "safe" answers and thereby taking herself out of the competition.

    DVD Steals & Deals

    Until Saturday at Circuit Shitty: Best of Will Ferrell 1&2 (set) - $12.99 "Rambo" Collection - $29.99 Assorted others, but I don't think the prices are anything special.

    Apprentice 2

    Sandy's been on borrowed time for a while, since Trump has a hard-on for college-edjumacated people. Which I thought was the only real reason he fired Troy over Kwame. Kevin's a law student. Presumably he's had some businesses "on the side" since his inexperience was never brought up like Andy's was. I want to put him in the final two, except for... ...Seven of Nine. Kevin is a law student. The Jen-bot is a lawyer, who always knows the right things to say, and has always been able to get in the good graces of the PM and slide by. The interviews are supposed to be harsh, but I can see her get through those with flying colours. Then there's Kelly. All along, he's been a "safe" prospect, the take-charge guy who isn't afraid to go outside the box (to use an overused cliche) and do what he thinks is correct. So long as he doesn't screw up the final task, I think he's got it. Anyways, the final task. Teams of 4 strive to survive. Or something like that. If you're the PM, who do you pick? I know which two you don't - Blinky and Wes. I think that, if Kevin gets fired, I'd hire him, Ivana (since they seem to work well together) and Andy. If Seven of Nine gets fired, hire her, Andy and... I dunno. The talent pool drops after that, and you DON'T want Jen on the same team as Ivana or Sandy. Either way, Andy is a part of my team.

    Shawn Daivari's finisher

    Tee-hee! Them Dubya Dubya Eee writers sure are clever folks. eh, that's pretty much the standard-issue Middle Eastern wrestler finisher. The Sultan used it too. I hope it's at least like the Steiner version with the arms hooked, though. I think Tiger Ali Singh was the only Middle Eastern/Muslim wrestler in the WWF/E to not use it. I'm not sure if that was because he really sucked or because of something else though...

    Hmph. I didn't figure Ivana for boyshorts...

    You know what the best part of the show is? The music. The stripper-type music for Mosaic? Awesome.

    Fox's Midseason...

    I agree it's not as good as having the AI lead-in, but when MNF is done there's a void for non-wrestling-watching male viewers that 24 can capitalize on.

    Smackdown spoilers for 12/2/04

    Hey, if it means that Mizanin gets the shit beat out of him, then BRING IT ON!!! I don't care if it's Justice or Puder.

    I thought that was the idea? And how smart is this psychic, anyways, that he can't see that Claire would visit him 3 times and he'd end up in the red from it?

    Fox's Midseason...

    Well the problem is that Fox is the network that "develops" reality shows that "happen" to be similar to other reality shows (hey, even American Idol is similar in nature to Popstars), so it's unlikely that we'll get X-Factor over here.

    Fox's Midseason...

    Rebel Billionaire is killing House, although I'd expect it to do better once The Amazing Race ends and American Idol starts up again. Haven't seen House yet, btw. Actually her current single ("Breakaway", apparently cowritten by Avirl Lavigne) has been getting quite the push on Top 40 and AAA radio stations, so I'm not sure that your argument really holds much weight. I'll be trying to avoid getting sucked into American Idol again this year (wish me luck). I'll watch the initial auditions, and see how that goes. Best part of the show, and the reason I enjoyed "Superstar USA". Anyways, 2-fucking-4 will be back, and that's exactly what I need to fill my Monday night void. Although what I'll do this week with the dog of a game I dunno.

    Let's talk about Trish

    That can partially be attributed to Trish as well. The crowd wants to love Lita, but also they want to see Trish get what's coming to her. Plus, it's the whole "finisher on a legit injured body part" thing.

    LOST

    No Kate, the Danish-American Mormon girls got Philiminated, and Ivana's still alive on the Apprentice (although perhaps not for much longer). Not a good week for me as far as chicks on TV goes...

    LOST

    Plus he's Canadian. ONTARIO BITCHES! So, the French chick is really... QUEBECOIS! ...But why would you say you're from a province in Canada? Most people wouldn't recognize that, but Hurley somehow assumed it (obviously he was the target audience for Mosaic's Pepsi Edge promotion). More likely that Ethan's from Ontario, California.

    We really should've known Ethan was evil. He resembles Gul Dukat a bit (note: he's not Mark Alaimo).

    Speaking of which, Nick and Jessica are lip-synching. Maybe they're trying to make Ashlee feel better...
