I was checking out theForce.net, a Star Wars fan site, and stumbled upon a link to a Maxim.com article comparing the toughness of Indiana Jones to Han Solo, both roles played by Harrison Ford (FYI in case you’ve been living under a rock your entire life).
TheForce.net didn’t seem to agree with Maxim’s results, but I think the results were pretty accurate (which surprised me since Maxim.com would be the last place I would ever think to look for anything related to Star Wars or Indiana Jones).
One show is about a time shifted detective (which sounds like the makings for a good comedy but is another drama instead) and the other is a family oriented game show (just what we needed).
I have never had a lot of faith in ABC’s programming (with LOST and Ugly Betty being the exceptions) and these 2 new shows for the fall do nothing to renew my confidence in them. » Learn more about ABC’s new TV shows
So what do you think? Do any other these sound remotely interesting to you? Will you add these shows to your Tivo or DVR or is your queue already too full from all the other shows you watch?
Zack bought me LOST: Via Domus, a new game for the XBox360 based of the television show LOST.
I am still playing the game so I am unsure of how much is left to play. I took a break from playing because I was sick of being killed by the smoke monster.
Anyway, I won’t spoil anything about the game, but just to be safe, click the link to read my thoughts on the game…
A deal has been struck between the major media companies and the Writers Guild of America to end the writers’ strike, former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner revealed on CNBC.
“It’s over,” Eisner said. “They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It’s going on Saturday to the writers in general.” Read more at CNBC.com
Photos from the strike So, do you think TV shows that were affected by the strike will resume production? Were any TV shows that you watch affected?
All you avid LOST fans out there must be excited for the show’s premiere this Thursday at 9 p.m. on ABC. Some of you die-hard fans (like me) may be planning a party to ring in the new season. If so, I have found a list of 15 details to help you throw your own LOST themed season premiere party.
Over the next month it appears fans will be able to wet their “Lost” appetites with a new alternate reality game entitled Find 815. The game’s main protagonist appears to be Sam Thomas, an IT technician for Oceanic Airlines who is disgruntled by the company’s decision to stop searching for Flight 815. Sam has been contacted by a mysterious individual or group, hinting that they may have the answers to what he seeks - what happened to Flight 815 and his girlfriend, Sonya.
The game is expected to end at the end of January 2008, coinciding with the Lost Season 4 premiere. Until then, fans can enjoy a tale which promises interesting revelations in the show’s mythology.
To play the game, head over to Find815.com
I wasn’t a fan of LOST during the first LOST experience so I am excited to be able to take part in this one. It also has the option to register so your progress can be saved.
LOST fans, will you take part in the Find815.com game, or will you just sit around waiting for season 4 to begin?
Oh, and here is a trailer for season 4 with footage from the new season.
To the casual viewer, Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter hail from vastly different realities. Whereas Harry’s is a hidden Earth community in which the Renaissance never ended and magical creatures abound, Luke’s story is set in a galaxy far, far away, filled with spaceships, aliens and other trappings traditional to science fiction. A keen eye, however, will notice a surprising number of similarities between the mythos, in terms of theme, plot, characterization and even nomenclature. Listed in the following pages are some of the more remarkable parallels between the two series. (Those who have not read J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels or seen their film adaptations, both of which have been mined for the list below, should beware of spoilers.)
Start here at parallel number 10 and work your way to number 1. I didn’t notice most of these parallels until now.
Can you think of any other parallels that the folks over at StarWars.com missed?
Movies & TV blog is about two things. No second guesses, people.
Tony Black and Zack McGhee have been together for over 2 years. They spend altogether too much time watching movies, TV and glued to their computers. This blog combines all three at once, thereby gaining them maximum efficiency.

It had to be Indy hands down. No matter how much Stars Wars rocked. ^_~
