Spiderman 3 Trailer

The Spiderman 3 trailer was released last week. I am pretty excited by the trailer. If you haven't seen it yet check it out below or to see a high quality version click here.

**WARNING**
The Comic Book Geek side of me comes out below

I have to say it's AWESOME to see the black costume make an appearance. It's the right time for it in the movie series....I do wonder how Peter is going to obtain the symbiotic costume, since there's probably not going to be a SECRET WARS.

I did see a bell tower in the trailer though and that explains a little bit....but I'm not going to spoil it for those of you non-comic book geeks.

Hopefully this will end up leading to Venom being introduced in the next movie and a possible Venom spin off movie.

Who knows!

Great New Coke Commercial

The World Cup Final is Set

vs.

France will meet Italy in Berlin on Sunday.

Right now, I'd bet on France....I think they have definitely peaked at the right time. So for right now....

Viva la France!

World Cup Update - Day 23

FRANCE 1 - 0 PORTUGAL

Today's game wasn't near as exciting as yesterday's but still a good game.

Arsenal striker Thierry Henry draws a penalty and Zidane burys it in the back of the net.

France moves on to the final game.

World Cup Update - Day 22

ITALY 2 - 0 GERMANY

Two big stats stood out before this match started.

1) Germany have never lost in the stadium in Dortmund.
2) Italy have never lost to Germany in the World Cup.

This has to be considered one of the best matches of this World Cup....the best part was that the ref didn't get involved and he let the players play!

They went in the extra time tied at zero.

Then the last 5 minutes of the extra time were amazing....great end to end action. Fabio Grosso scores for Italy with less than two minutes to play....then del Piero scores again for Italy to seal the deal!

Italy are on to the final in Berlin.

World Cup Update - Day 21

ENGLAND 0 - 0 PORTUGAL
(Portugal win 3-1 on penalty kicks)

Everyone was waiting for it to happen....and it finally did. Wayne Rooney was given a red card. I don't really think that he was given the red card for stepping on that guys groin, because I don't think he did that on purpose. He had to have said something to the ref and from his push of Christiano Ronaldo (his OWN TEAMMATE @ ManUtd).

FRANCE 1 - 0 BRAZIL

I think that France played GREAT attacking football, they were honestly the better team. Henry scores on a nice free kick from Zidane.

Portugal will meet France in the next round.

What is wrong with ABC?

What is wrong with my ABC affiliate?

I'm sitting here trying to watch the England v. Portugal World Cup match and every ½ hour my local ABC station is running a PROGRAM NOTE at the bottom of the screen telling kids that their normally scheduled Saturday morning programs aren't going to be on at the regularly scheduled times.

I don't have a problem with the program note, what I have a problem with is the SIZE of it and the regularity of when they run it.

They start showing the "program note" about 10 minutes before the scheduled program is to start. Then they show this message, what seems like,continuouslyy for about a minute or so! OVER and OVER and OVER!!

Now I have very little problem with the message itself...It's cute.

"Hey Kids! Catch {insert show name} later today at {insert show time} here on ABC 7."

But...The message is so !@#$% HUGE...It takes up so much of the screen that you can't see the bottom part of the field and if ABC shows any stats at the bottom of the screen, there's no chance that you're gonna see those stats!!

It was awful during the penalty shoot out....I wasn't sure who I was more upset with ABC 7 or England!!

Way to go ABC 7....THANKS! (jerks!)

World Cup Update - Day 20

ARGENTINA 1 - 1 GERMANY
(Germany win 4-2 on penalty kicks)

Argentina looked really strong, but then Germany scored and then it went to extra time and then penalties.

UKRAINE 0 - 3 ITALY

Italy was never in danger in this match and Ukraine really didn't show any fire and didn't create many chances for themselves.

Germany will play Italy in the next round.

World Cup Withdrawals

After 19 straight days of at least 2 games per day....There was no football today.

It's like I don't have anything to talk about with the guys at work.

I don't have to make my daily picks for the office pool.

There's nothing recorded on my DVR....No matches to watch.

I need Friday to get here fast!!

Nick Lachey CLIX It

This is a pretty funny commercial....

World Cup Update - Day 18

AUSTRALIA 0 - 1 ITALY

This is not how you want to lose a match....

Francesco Totti scores from the penalty spot in the 93rd minute. Blackburn Rovers defender Lucas Neill brought down Fabio Grosso inside the area and the referee pointed to the spot.

Game over Socceroos! (I was rooting for you!)

UKRAINE 0 (3) - 0 (0) SWITZERLAND

Ukraine wins the penalty shoot-out and move on to the next round.

Italy will meet Ukraine in the next round.

World Cup Update - Day 17

ECUADOR 0 - 1 ENGLAND

ABC show Beckham still in the tunnel waiting for the teams to come out onto the pitch and he looks like he's ready for a street fight! Hopefully that's gonna be a good sign!!

Ashley Cole saved England's World Cup life early in the first half. The Arsenal defender comes in a gets a sliding deflection on an almost wide open shot for Carlos Tenorio of Ecuador.

England again play an awful half of football, in the first half. Hopefully that means they'll play better football in the second half.

BECKHAM SCORES!! England wins!

HOLLAND 0 - 1 PORTUGAL

Portugal score in the 23rd minute....and it holds up for the win.

Unfortunately, another ref steals the headlines as he ejects 4 players and ties the World Cup record for yellow cards with 16!

England will meet Portugal in the next round.

Rooney's Nike Ad

This is Wayne Rooney, England and Manchester United striker.

This is a Nike poster ad. Something you would see at a bus stop or in the subway....maybe a magazine.

This ad is getting a lot of negative press in England. This ad is also only seen in England.

An article in the Daily Mail says that people are complaining that the poster is too Christ-like and bloody.

I follow English football, so when I saw the ad, I knew it was Wayne Rooney. I also knew that the way his body is painted is representing the English flag. I think the "Warrior Pose" that he is in, truly is showing his passion for his country and for football.

I showed this same picture to a couple of friends before posting to get their opinion. One said that he didn't even know that was the English flag. He thought that the Union Jack was the flag of England, but he found nothing offensive.

The other friend I asked was a woman, the first thing she said was, "Well, I know that's the England flag." She did say that the red looked like blood....but wasn't offended by it.

What do you think?

World Cup Update - Day 16

IT'S ELIMINATION TIME!!

Loser goes home....


SWEDEN 0 - 2 GERMANY

Germany scores twice in the first 15 minutes. Podolski scores both goals and Germany was in control of the whole match the whole time.

Larsen missed a penalty kick, high to the right....and then Sweden had a man sent off.

MEXICO 1 - 2 ARGENTINA

Teams that score first in this World Cup are 32-6-6....Mexico scored first, in the 6th minute. Then Mexico scored again 3 minutes later! Unfortunately it was an own goal.

In extra time, Argentina scores on a beautiful strike from Rodriguez!!

Germany will meet Argentina in the next round

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

The Showbiz Show with David Spade

If you're not watching this show by now, I have to ask....WHY NOT!!??

David Spade is as funny as ever in this ½ hour show.

One of the best things about the show is it's intro. Spade puts himself into a scene of a hit TV series and makes some jokes that go along with the scene....like this....



Then the show is usually broken up into 3 parts:

News
(This is David's take on the past weeks BEST entertainment stories!)



There I Said It
(This is an editorial type part of the show)



....and then Random Guests and other entertainment type stories.



It's on Comedy Central on Thursday nights....CHECK IT OUT!!

World Cup Update - Day 15

UKRAINE 1 - 0 TUNISIA

Ukraine just needed to tie, they went a step further and "Shevie" scored from the penalty spot for the win.

SAUDI ARABIA 0 - 1 SPAIN

Spain still look pretty strong....even though they were playing Saudi Arabia.

SWITZERLAND 2 - 0 SOUTH KOREA

Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos scores the first goal of the match....turns out they didn't even need the second goal!!

TOGO 0 - 2 FRANCE

Big day for Arsenal players....current and former. Patrick Viera scored and assisted on Thierry Henry's goal in France's win over Togo. Plus Emmanuel Adebayor had a few chances for Togo.
