My Xbox HD-DVD has been repaired and shipped back to my moving loving arms. And now, unlike when I purchased it, it works!

The picture looks fantastic while watching King Kong.

If you're also a TV addict, but not so much so that you go looking for when new shows are premiering, here's a list of the TV Premiers. Ladies and Gentlemen, start your Tivos!

An interesting study came out on political leanings and brain function. But the study was only done on 43 adults. Here's the Chicago Tribune's article on the study. Here's another view from Cognitive Daily. I am not ready to believe that political views can be related to reflexes. But it's interesting how the article was reported in the press.

In other news, there are some fabulous bits of news in Tivo land. There will be a $200 rebate on the Series 3. Also, Tivo to Go and multi-room viewing set for HD boxes!

And finally, I just watched Clerks II. I loved it. Even if you don't just adore Silent Bob and Jay's standard antics, even if you don't like the slackers that run Mooby's, this movie is worth it simply for Jay's Silence of the Lambs reference. It was sublime.

Clerks II has a donkey show. Making it the best comedy with a donkey show ever. Of course the only other R-comedy with one I can recall is Bachelor Party. And after catching it several times last week (Cinemax was playing it a lot) I want to smack around Hanks and his merry band of ne'er-do-wells. Do you know how annoying complaining guests are? REALLY annoying. Especially ones who have valid issues with obnoxious party throwers who have no courtesy for anyone else in a hotel...

Plus the amount of paperwork involved with a dead donkey would be horrific...

Yeah, I must have blocked out that donkey show part in Bachelor Party.

And why, in both cases, were Donkies involved in Bachelor -type parties? I suppose Kevin having it in his movie was a nod to that one.

I guess Oprah needs a show for donkeys and the men who love them.

Clerks II? Gah. That movie was a pretty big disappointment for me.

Well, I had low expectations. I don't really identify with the characters themselves. But when it comes to crass comedy , Kevin Smith delivers.

Yeah, I don't think it was Kevin Smith's best. In fact, I really find Dogma is my favorite. I was amused by the appearance of his wife and daughter. As well as the donkey show --er interspecies erotica.
