I just came back from seeing "White House Down".  Definitely bettter than the other White House attacked movie: Olympus Has Fallen. 

Last 2 movies I saw were "World War Z" and "Monsters University".  WWZ was alright and MU was a good kids movie.    Next up White House Down, The Heat, Depscible Me 2 and The Lone Ranger.

Saw a better movie today. Fast and Furious 6 and I think it was even better than 5.  Nice setup for #7 due next year.

Well, I saw "Hangover 3" last night.  It was okay but frankly, not worth seeing it in the theater.  It doesn't have what the first one and even the second one does.

Maybe this show will join the list of must watch shows?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

Next week the major networks are announcing their fall schedules. Maybe something good to compete with the cable shows that are usually better. Hmm.

I predict this years box office will break records. I don't know if there's ever been a year with as many potential blockbusters coming out.

And is Star Trek Into Darkness being overlooked? All I'm hearing is Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel. No one's hardly talking about Star Trek. Even the news about JJ Abrams directing Star Wars Ep 7 have received more hype than Star Trek Into Darkness.

I've heard plenty on movie. I am hoping the Kennedy Space Center shows this movie like they did the last one. Can't wait to see Iron Man 3 tonight.

Yeah, I will say that Tom Baker is still my favorite "Who" but that's cause I grew up with him. I think I saw the first season/two seasons of Michael Smith and I liked the red head (his companion) much better than him just in terms of acting. Smith seemed to be really going for the idea that it was a kid's series and playing down to the children while Tenant seemed a much richer character. Again, I'm behind in the series and they aren't showing them anymore on rabbit ear tv (for a while they were on in the morning on 26-2) so I don't know how he evolved.

I was annoyed when they got rid of the red head though!

For me, Tom Baker will always be my favorite. I started watching Dr. Who in the early 80's PBS. I was really happy when the show came back in 2005.

BBC America is doing a monthly special on each of the actors who played Dr. Who, including Paul Mcgann who stared in the 1996 Dr Who TV movie. Tonight is the premiere of the Tom Baker episode and since he is the oldest doctor alive; will be great to see this special.

They are also doing a 50th anniversary special but it looks like only David Tennant and Billie Piper will be in it and not anyone from the original series. Also, there's another special on the making of the show and they got actors portraying the original actors.

I like Matt Smith. Matt Smith is probably only doing one more season. Maybe the next Doctor will be a woman.

Here's how I rank the Doctors.

1. Doctor 4: 74-81- Tom Baker. The best doctor. If he wasn't so good; I doubt Dr. Who would've lasted beyond the 70's.

2. Doctor 10: 05-10- David Tennant. The best doctor of the revived series, second best overall. I think if he failed, the new series would've failed.

3. Doctor 11: 10- ???- Matt Smith. The current doctor. He brings good dose of youthful enthusiam to the show. The Amy-Rory era were some of the best ever.

4. Doctor 5: 81-84- Peter Davidson. The previous youngest actor to play Dr Who. I got to met him last year. He was the right guy to take over from Tom Baker. Did you know his daughter is married to David Tennant.

5. Doctor 3- 70-74- Jon Pertwee. I liked him. He brought a touch of class to the show and also action.

6. Doctor 9- 2005- Christopher Eccleston . He was the first doctor in the revival of the show. I thought he did a good job.

7. Doctor 7- 86-89- Sylvestor Mccoy- The last doctor of the original series. He was alright.

8. Doctor 6- 84-86- Colin Baker- The only actor to be fired from the show. He always seem a little angry and a jerk to me. Probably why he got fired.

9. Doctor 8- 1996- Paul Mcgann- Fox aired a TV movie in 1996 in an attempt to bring the show to the U.S. It failed but he was alright.

10. Doctor 2- 66-69- Patrick Troughton - I haven't seen to many of his episode but I always thought he was too wimpy.

11. Doctor 1- 63-69- William Hartnell- The first doctor was old and cranky and mean, in what little I've seen.

Defiance on SyFy is quite good.

It's a little weird but the 2 episodes they have aired were pretty good.

Speaking of British SCi Fi; if you remember the British show Blakes 7; Sy- Fy has orded a season of a new remake of the show.

I say we let the Texans kick their ass. No contest.

We can send Tony Romo and the Cowboys to do the job.

Maybe Obama can make peace with Eastwood; so Clint can say "Make My Day".

I am all for war here becaue it will be a quick one. The NK regime will be wiped out immediately and Korea will be one again.

I figure this is where this will be heading. The kid probably has a tenuous hold on power and is doing all this to show who's boss. Of course, when he actually launches a missile at SK or at our troops in SK or even try to his US interests in the pacific; it will be all over for him.

So we still need a seahawks loss or a collapse by the bears to make it right?

The division is still within reach; especially if Giants lose today. Actually, we might be leading the division if the Giants lose.

Rocky 32- when is that one coming out?

I can't wait for:

Star Trek Into Darkness due out May 17th. Hopefully, a trailer will be released soon.

Saw this posted on FB.

Saw the new Spiderman movie. I liked it, actually better than the original.

This ruling wont have any affect at all on the POTUS race. It may help mobilize some voters in right leaning districts in Congressional races, but just taking them from "likely GOP" to "Safe GOP".

I don't know. I think it will.

I think what will be interesting is the impact on the fall election. Does this mean Obama cruises to reelection. The Dems retake the House and keep the Senate. Liberalism on steroids in 2013.

Or does this lead to the opposite, Romney cruises to victory, Repubs keep the House and take the Senate.

My gut says that this will give Obama his victory.

Well, just got back from watching "The Avengers". I loved it! :point2sky So, now that's the last movie I have seen until next week, LOL.

Well, I can tell you the next movie I will see; which will become the last movie I will see; LOL! Planning to see "The Avengers" at midnight!

My second entry. Last time it was "Gone". Just game from seeing "John Carter" which was pretty good.

"Gone" which was okay. Thought it was going one way for most of the movie then went the expected way to end it.

Because what you wish for. I think right now, if people could vote in Middle East or other dictoral Muslim countries you would see radicals in power.

The only country that would move away from radicals will be Iran since they've already lived under radicalism and hate it. Eventually, Iran will be free.

Other parts view the radicalism as their solutions to their problems.

Not the point. Hosting the world's biggest sporting event is awesome. '94 was the most successful World Cup ever.

An event that most American don't care about. Let the world's event go to places that haven't had it. Same thing with Olympics. The US had their World Cup and Olympics, time for other nations have a chance.

Very angry and irate

Going to relieve anger by getting drunk at 11:26 AM EST

Why irrate. It's soccer- err futbol. Most Americans really don't care. It's not like the US will be any better than they are now in 2022.

One of these 2 teams: The Yanks or the Red Sox will be your World Series Champions.

Great write up. Thought someone died there. I remember that old TSN board. Member 26 I think. Been here since Day 1.
