Let me first say that A nightmare on Elm Street (ANOES) was my favorite horror movie as a kid. It scared the crap out of me. When I saw it was being remade like the Friday the 13th movies I was sort of intrigued, but I am very skeptical that it can live up to my memories. Robert Englund is a horror master, and played Freddy like nobody else can. The pictures I’ve seen of Freddy now just look stupid, and from the review I read here at MTV.com I am pretty sure I won’t be impressed.

The original ANOES was frightening, and it felt original to my young mind. Sure it was another teen slasher, but Freddy was a real wisecracking badass. We probably would have looked for some online life insurance after we got home today because we were afraid to sleep.

Just hearing the rehash from that review makes me long to see the original again though. So many great scenes even though it is quite cheesy now. I know I’ve seen all the N”Nightmare” movies, but I think instead of getting this one at the theater I may just find myself a weekend to watch the classics once again and wait for this to come out on DVD. I have to watch it eventually I guess, but I don’t feel optimistic.

Last year the winner of Big Brother 9, Adam Jasinski was arrested for using his BB winnings to start an oxycodone drug ring. A far cry from something as legit as prevera.

While he currently resides in jail, another BB contestant, and ally of Jasinski on the show was arrested for participating in his drug ring. Matthew McDonald was involved in the alleged drug ring from April 2008 to October 2009.

This is McDonald’s third major criminal charge levied against him this month. Matthew is accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend and then attempting to intimidate her into dropping the charges.

If convicted of the drug charge, McDonald faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Usually, every Tuesday morning I wake up and the first thing I think of is how to plan my day around LOST. Yeah…I have problems. I need to make sure that I have everything I possibly need to get done completed by at least 8 PM so that I am ready to go. I just know that come 9 PM my day is effectively over as I will watch the show and then discuss/read about that episode until I go to bed most likely.

The end is coming and it will leave a huge hole in my entertainment catalog that’s for sure. This week I guess is just a taste as LOST is off this week because some corporate clowns decided that sweeps or something should make us wait another week to see the next episode. So…they show us the Richard episode again, which I have already seen at least twice .

I guess I could start and watch LOST from the beginning again this week, but I hadn’t planned to do that until the final episode was over to help lessen the withdrawal. I could read a fat burner review and go crazy today I guess, but I doubt that happens. It. Just. Sucks. That. I. Have. To. Wait. Another. Week.

Sometimes it makes you wonder how something like the world renowned Hollywood trademark such as the sign in the hills could have even been in any situation where it was worried to be taken down. In reality, it was in desperate need of help, as some “developers” had been looking at the 138 acres behind it to construct rich guy mansions.

The property had been owned by the infamous Howard Hughes for decades, and was originally the sign was built in 1923 as part of a real-estate promotion, originally spelling out “Hollywoodland” (the “land” was removed in 1949). In 1978, after years of neglect, Hefner was one of a number of patrons who donated funds to restore it.

It was up against a deadline this year where it could have been sold to developers if a nonprofit land-conservation group wasn’t able to come up with $12.5 million by April 30. Hugh Hefner came in during the last week and donated the final $900K to ensure that the geeks that dream of stardom in between reading acnepril reviews would be able to keep their dreams of stardom.

The only bad thing about this episode is that it finished way too soon. I can’t remember this ever happening before where I lost track of time while watching an episode of Lost. When the “L O S T” black screen came up I looked at the clock and couldn’t believe it. It was a pretty amazing set up episode with a lot going on, and MORE separation of the groups. Oh yeah…one other sadness. There is no episode next week and I have to wait until May 4th for the next one .

This was another episode of all the main cast members instead of just one character centrics like we have gotten used to over the years. Some amazing on-island action in this one, with some ho hum Alt. Universe action that was necessary like what happened to Locke and Ben with his bow ties, but not as Epic as the island scenes.

Everyone reunited with each other and the Man in Black/Smokey/Flocke at the end of the last episode it was time to see how the new group would act towards the Smoke Man. It appeared that all of our faithful Losties have some sort of skepticism when it comes to the MiB, and this group was no different.

Jack has a nice scene with his sister Claire, and the rest of them all except Claire and Sayid make plans to break away from MiB. Claire comes to see why they are all leaving and Kate talks her into going with them without incident, sadly.

As they go off on a boat they are stealing from MiB, Jack decides that he is doing the wrong thin.g, and Sawyer tells him to get off his boat. Now Jack is split from Kate, Sawyer, Sun, Frank, and Hugo.

Jack gets back to shore and runs into MiB immediately where they get bombarded by some sort of missiles from the sky. Jack passes out as MiB says to him: “You are with me now” and the screen fades to LOST.

In a surprise move, Conan O’Brien balked at conventional wisdom and is going to begin employment with TBS next. While he is still banned from TV until September, he has signed a 5-year deal with TBS to start in November. The terms were undisclosed, but referred to as “competitive.

Conan is currently on tour doing stand up once again.

Fox was his expected future home, and : Executives had talked openly for months of their interest in hiring the comedian to expand into late night during the week, after several failures years ago. But its local stations were reluctant to clear their lineups of lucrative syndicated reruns (these shows are better than all these late night crapfests anyways.), making it unclear how widely a new Conan show on Fox would initially be seen.

“In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed back to basic cable,” the comedian said in a statement. “My plan is working perfectly.”

The deal pretty much allows Conan to stay out of competition with Leno and Letterman considering that he is nno longer on broadcast TV, but cable. Odds are the most TV viewer get TBS though so he should get some good chatter at least early on.

It appears that a lot of people are rather confused after this episode. While it wasn’t exactly completely straight forward, the show wasn’t really confusing I didn’t think. It just didn’t answer all the questions put forward in typical L O S T fashion I guess.

We got the return of a couple favorites for this episode. Charlie, Desmond, Penny, and of course some Claire which is always nice. Like the title suggests this probably had something to do with Desmond and Penny right? For the most part it did, but this episode was far from a typical love story.

Last episode we saw Desmond waking up on the docks after he was brought back to the island by the infamous Charles Whidmore as our cliffhanger. This week the episode followed Desmond’s story in the off island universe as well as his current on island situation.

We find Whidmore as his island crew messing with a generator, and then a machine that pumps massive amounts of electromagnetic energy into whoever is unlucky enough to be in the tiny room with their machine. Not even Hinkley lights would survive this. Desmond is told that he is there to do something important, but first Whidmore needs to force him into the room to see if he actually can withstand the type of energy needed to do what it is Whidmore has planned.

As soon as the machine kicks on, Desmond is off the island and living in an alternative world in completely different circumstances than we have seen. He is Mr. Whidmore’s right-hand man. Plus he has never met Penny, his true love.

He is tasked with finding and babysitting our good friend Charlie for a concert at some wedding Whidmore’s wife is putting on. IT gets much more difficult to follow from here.

Charlie explains to Desmond his near death experience on the LA X flight earlier in the season and how he saw Claire and knew he loved her. Charlie shows Desmond the same thing by trying to drown him in the ocean (not kill him, but show him what he means), and he sees Charlie in the window holding his hand to the glass. HE flashes towards when Charlie died on the island and sees “Not Penny’s Boat”. If you weren’t sure the two worlds were connected yet, you should by this point.

Desmond then believes that he needs to find Penny for some reason. Whidmore’s wife needs to be told that he couldn’t get Charlie to the event, and she isn’t upset, but she is Eloise (Faraday’s mom from past season) and she cryptically tells him that the needs to stop looking for whatever it is he is looking for.

He leaves and is approached by the MUSICIAN Daniel “Faraday Whidmore (yeah…he’s now a Whidmore) and they start to believe that they had changed something and that they are now in a different universe. Penny is his half sister. Desmond finds her running where he met Jack for the first time and they click. He gets back in the limp and asks his driver to get him the manifest from the 815 Oceanic flight he was on with Jack and everyone else.. He needs to tell them all something.

Desmond wakes up back on the island and is in a daze. He is now calm and wants to help. Sayid snaps a neck and tells him that he needs to come with him. Cliffhanger. L O S T

As the 3D market becomes more and more prevalent, there are as many critics, as there are of people that want it. The main concern for most is the jump in ticket prices as more and more films are either being converted, or made in 3D. This is only a temporary thing I would guess. These films won’t do that well forever I don’t think anyways, although ticket prices will go up regardless.

Of course a lot of people are in the mode of: “3-D is just a stupid gimmick”, so the increased prices are even more of a reason to dismiss the quality. From the talk of getting 3-D on everything from cell phones to digital cameras in the future this isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Overall, the reaction to the conversions has been pretty good from everything I have read. I don’t think the average viewer can tell the difference at this point. “clash of the Titans”, (A childhood favorite of mine), was a conversion after the remake was already completed. Most say that it looks good, and that the computer generated stuff you can’t tell the difference.

Who knows how many have actually seen a 3-D movie before this in the new styles though.

Erin Andrews, a reporter for the sports network ESPN, and Dancing With the Stars constestant, is prime for the stalker it seems. I’m sure you all remember a while back where she was the victim of the keyhole nude video where some loser actually caught her nude on tape through the keyhole of her hotel room door.

She has had her share of stalkers it appears, and it has caused her to ask for beefed up security on the Dancing With the Stars set.

Attorney Marshall Grossman said Friday that a media outlet had received at least a dozen e-mails threatening Andrews since September. People that should be sitting in a facility licking ping pong tables.

He says the e-mails were at first sexual but have grown increasingly violent, and the last few have threatened her with murder.

Grossman says the e-mails discuss the case of Michael David Barrett, who last month was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for stalking Andrews.

Grossman says the FBI has been notified and knows the sender’s identity. A message left for an FBI spokeswoman was not immediately returned.
