• Well there hasn’t been one of these for a while, so it seemed like a suitable time to check in. Summer’s flying by, with July here already. Wow. So what did everyone think of A.I.? It certainly was an interesting film, though personally that last 20 minutes could have been missing and the film would have been as good, probably better. Scary Movie 2 looks like it’ll pull in some big numbers this week, and with that Jay & Bob trailer attached, we’re expecting some heavy traffic to start arriving here at the site in the coming weeks. All in all, it hasn’t been too exciting of a summer film-wise so far. Jay & Bob have the potential to be the big surprise hit!

Been watching any TV lately? New South Park episodes are airing and, while the show does seem to be getting a bit tired, it’s still pushing the envelope and remains amusing from week to week. I’m also sorry to say that Fear Factor has me sucked in. We’re becoming more like the Japanese with our TV here year after year. Soon it’ll look like that Simpsons episode. “Knife goes in, guts come out.” Remember that? Classic. Anyway, Big Brother kicks off a new season on the 5th of July on CBS. Let’s hope they get that right this time. Looks like the fall is STACKED with even more reality TV. Hopefully somewhere along the way they’ll come up with some decent new series. Hey, at least Buffy is still on. As far as other genre series, X-Files may as well be cancelled. Thank goodness HBO continues to roll out some great original programming to keep TV interesting.

Chances are this will be the last update until after the 4th, so have a safe, happy holiday if you’re celebrating here in the States tomorrow. There’s a few newsbites in addition to the story posted this morning on the trailer for you to check out, let’s take a look:
