Q: "Almost anything is better in HDTV" True or False? A: Maybe, unless it's a friggin' game show that's only so-so on a 12" B&W. Why is it then that I must dish out $4000 to see Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy in Hi Def? I hate to tell the Japs that ship us these things, if you're going to sell these things like hotcakes, you might want to talk about some of the stronger points of what you can expect when you hook the damn thing up and plug it in. Alex Trebek isn't going to make me run to Circuit City for anything and geez, I wouldn't even let him influence me to pick up the phone and call for Blue Cross and Blue Shield life insurance that he pitches in commercials. Besides making Trebek's face crystal clear and appear as the surface of the moon, and the crow's feet and bags around and under Vanna White's eyes, what's the big deal? Vanna keeps hinting at a retirement soon. If she sees herself in HD, she might start packing her bags and heading back to Myrtle Beach . I say, there's six Star Wars movies available and plenty of other programs on television that should shout out "hip, hip, hooray" for the crystal clear picture you get with HD. All you get here is an older Alex, an older Vanna, and a bigger head on the shoulders of Pat Sajak.- Zombie wakes up two dead horror franchises in time for Halloween 2007. The former White Zombie founder and frontman who later went solo, and more recently Directed two "B" horror flicks that went straight to video, just acquired the Halloween and Friday the 13th movie franchises. What does this mean? Considering there are God knows how many sequels of each, he can now do with them as he pleases. He can chop the hell out of them and slice them and dice them anyway he wants. He can also remake them all, OR he can make new ones to add to the collection. Whatever he chooses, they will be finished in "Blood-o-Rama". It's important to note that from part 2 of both films, they were on a downhill slide. As it finished a couple years ago, Halloween was a disaster with L.L. Cool J as the main character on the run. As for Friday the 13th, after killing astronauts on a space station, Jason returned to Earth to kill with his partner in crime, Freddie Kreuger. This is good you see, there's a few dozen horror movies that are really terrible that comes out every year. Even if a few hundred people total see these things, there's always a bunch of sequels. Rob is going to make money doing whatever he wants the movie rights, keep making records and music videos, and still have time leftover to sing in the church choir on Sunday. He may not look typical of the friend you invite over to sit with the family at Thanksgiving, but Dad will love him because he's greasy and dirty with bloody knuckles. These indicate a hard working guy and there you have Rob.
- Bono Jovi? - Guess who's tugging on Bono's leather jacket from behind? None other than Jon Bon Jovi. These two guys are now going to be slugging it out over who might be the better humanitarian. Jon has had a passion for building new homes for those with bad luck be it, loss of a job or losing their home in a hurricane, fire, or flood. Bon Jovi who also owns the Arena Football League's Philly, PA team is kicking his generosity into high gear after appearing on Oprah just one month ago. Holding Habitat For Humanity close to his heart, Jon went to work right away when former President Jimmy Carter gave him a call for help after passing on Bono. "Have you seen Bono's work?" asked Mr. Carter. "Shoddy. A rush job. The houses looked as if some 8th graders did them in wood shop!" In addition, Bono didn't know which end of the hammer to use to hit the nail, and wouldn't remove his sunglasses no matter what." On the other end, Bon Jovi seems to know his way around the Home Depot and gets in there, rolls up his sleeves, and goes to work however, Bon Jovi's vision may be just that. He wants to rebuild a decaying Philly and has already put the plan in motion. First thing to do before the houses is to start with the sandwich shops that use Cheese Wiz on the Philly steaks. That aerosol can is full of CFC's which damage the ozone layer. Jon is advising they use Kraft American Cheese slices as an alternative. That step may take the most convincing to succeed. To Jon I say, Good Luck. To show how serious he is, visit Bon Jovi's website and see how much information you can view...NONE. You must now pay just to enter. Of course, the money goes towards Jon's project. Any new CD's for the boys? A box set which chronicles their history. Jon's gonna be tied up for the next decade or so in areas other than recording music.
