Well, the Giants got spanked like a tiny little baby. Truth be told, I lost interest in the game early on – I was actually looking forward to the premiere “Survivor: The Australian Outback” more than I was the Super Bowl. Plus there was a “Castaway” marathon on BBC America, so there you are.

The commercials didn’t even seem that great – as with last year, the only one that sticks in my head is the “Wazzup!” commercial. But I’m sure I missed a bunch – I’m waiting for AdCritic to upload them all…but it seems like I’ve already seen the ones they’ve posted a dozen or so times.

So the long and short of it is – I stayed in all weekend, slept quite alot, and got nothing done. But then, isn’t that what the weekend is for? (At least sometimes?)

BlogVoices is back up and running, thanks to the folks at Pyra Labs, the home of Blogger. The Talk links are once again active. Let the comments rain down like…er…rain.

AdCritic – Superbowl XXXV
Why watch the game when you can just watch the commercials?

Oh – Go Giants.

New Jersey Online: Q104.3
Anyone who knows where I live (Twin Rivers) knows that you can’t get recent radio reception here for love nor money. Believe it or not, this is the only way that I can pull in Q104 at home (even though I can get it perfectly in the car).

Live audio stream – requires RealPlayer plugin.

BlogVoices will live!

Variety.com: Wolf Pounds Peacock for Axing “Law” Seg
Translated from VarietySpeak, “Law & Order” producer Dick Wolf is furious with NBC because they have removed Wednesday’s episode from the library of episodes to be rerun.

Anyone who has ever watched “L&O” knows that their storylines are generally ripped right from the papers – and this particular episode touched on the horriffic Puerto Rican Day wilding attacks. Apparently this episode hit too close to home.

“In a statement, NBC apologized for ‘offending members of the Latino community.'”

[RANT] I like to think I’m a pretty tolerant guy, and I try to respect all cultures and their beliefs…but maybe the Latino community should be offended by the actions of their own people, and not by a television show. Dick Wolf was just turning the mirror to them, and they didn’t like what they saw. That’s no reason for censorship. [/RANT]

I’m not sure if I have anything to add to this. Although it is pretty cool that it’s getting a theatrical release.

This is about as political as I’m going to get for the moment.

Yahoo News: AMC Entertainment to Shut Up to 548 Screens
I wonder if this means we’re heading into a new era for movie palaces? Either way, it looks like the days of the big-box multiplex are numbered, if both AMC and Loews/Cineplex are in trouble. And you know what? I’m not so sure that’s such a bad thing.
