Hey folks. We realize that things have been sorta quiet ’round these parts lately. There’s not been much to say and we’ve been kinda busy anyway. I took the time to do some landscaping on the house finally, owning a house takes up a lot of spare time, that’s for sure.

The Flyers didn’t do too well today. We’ll get ’em the next time. We were just chatting about other stuff on TV with all the renewals due by tomorrow. Friends will be back for another 2 years. Buffy & Angel will both be back. That’s good. But probably the big news is the trend with summer TV shows. Clerks is debuting on May 31st, along with Survivor, a new CBS reality show (we dunno if ABC and CBS are pitting the shows against one another). CBS also has that show with 10 people locked in a house and watched by cameras 24-7 until they all crack or get booted out. Sounds intriguing. Then there’s always the HBO shows which remain some of the best on TV ever.

On the film front, we tried “Battlefield Earth” for the hell of it last night. We KNEW the reviews were bad but just figured the critics were overreacting and that it would be bad, but still fun. Oh, how we were wrong. This flick makes “Waterworld” look like “Saving Private Ryan”. It’s that bad. No fun AT ALL. Stay away. With only about a 12 million dollar take this weekend, though, it should rank up there as one of the bigger cimematic bombs in history. Thank goodness.

On the Askew front, we’re just gonna stick with NewsBites again today. Hopefully we’re not letting you down by so many of these lately. Basically, when we’ve got stories but only a line or two to write about each, that’s when they become newsbites. If a bigger story breaks, it’ll get its own headline, but with the lack of big news going around, aside from some small references or articles here or there, we feel this is the best way to keep it easy.

Hopefully all of you are adjusting to the new site. We should have some small fixes and enhancements for you soon, it’s just that we wanted to take a break after working six months straight on the new design. Hope ya understand!

A new poll topic is finally here today, as well. Vote and be heard. Let’s see what else is going on today:
