Embedded Video Oops
Hey-- Sorry most of the video clips didn't show up the past few weeks. Apparently YouTube made some changes that affected the codes I used to embed here. I went back about a month and fixed the ones I could-- and deleted the ones I couldn't find.
Sorry if the page loads take a bit longer. I decided to show a few weeks of posts at a time to let you catch up. If I remember, I'll go back to 7 days or so like I had been.

Doctor Who Stands Up to the Atraxi
One of my favorite scenes of this show. Matt Smith knocks this out of the park in his first episode and proves he can hang with any other former Who actors.
And when the Atraxi probe runs through the previous ten Doctor Whos-- and The Eleventh walks through it. Cool as Hell.
Check out the Series Six premiere tonight on BBC America.

Doctor Who; BBC America. 8 pm CST. 6th Series Premiere.
I enjoy this show, but I'm a bit surprised by just how excited I am for this new season.
I really dig Matt Smith's turn as The Doctor. Goofy, funny, but with an attitude that I would normally consider "bad ass" if he wasn't so likable. One of my favorite examples of this is when he simply said to a young boy who asked if he was afraid of monsters: "No. They're afraid of me."
Series Six ("Season Six" for us Americans) opens with an ambitious 2-parter not only set in America, but (for the first time for the series) filmed in America as he travels to 1969 to help Nixon turn back aliens who are hypnotizing the world's populace.

Friday (Brock's dub)
I'm not really about trying to further humiliate this poor girl. I mean, I haven't even seen the original (other than a couple seconds-worth of snippets on shows like The Soup).
But I thought this was pretty funny.

Bulldogs NCAA Champs!
Wanted to be one of the first to congratulate the University of Minnesota- Duluth Bulldogs Men's Ice Hockey team for bringing the NCAA Division I Championship to Duluth-- finally.
First-ever such championship for this team. My longest-loved team finally reached the top!
I may live in Wisconsin now-- but I'm proud to say I'm still a Duluth boy at heart.

You're So Hot with Chris Mintz-Plasse and Dave Franco
One of the sickest, most vulgar things I've ever watched.
And I couldn't stop laughing.
If you have the stomach, give it a try. It's well beyond R-rated, though. Just a warning.

This was one of the best shows that aired last year-- and it's not all that tough to jump into. So if you missed last season, don't let that keep you from this one. The writing is spectacular and the actors are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Justified Season Two Trailer
Love the show-- and I was a bit of a Star Wars geek way back, so I like the "Han shot first" nod.
Oh Hellz yeah! Feb 9 can't come soon enough.

Premieres and Notables; January 31-February 6, 2011
Sorry this is late. I spent the weekend in beautiful Duluth, MN-- went back home (yes, even though it's been half my lifetime since I've lived there, I still consider it "home")-- for an exciting weekend.
Friday and Saturday nights, I got to see my first women's hockey games. Great stuff. And the best part was seeing the defending National champs, the UMD Bulldogs, sweep the Bemidji State ladies. Really tight games, and I was happy to see some punches thrown-- just like the good old days of watching the college men in the '80s. Women's hockey is a little more finesse than physical, but those two teams took their shots, and even though they can't check each other, we did get to see a few board crashes. (Not that I advocate the violence over the technique; but it sure is nice to see a physical game...)
But the big reason to visit there was to get into some of the events surrounding the 28th Annual John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon. My wife and I attended the events about ten years ago and finally were able to make the timing work again this year-- and with kids along as well.
Saturday was the Cutest Puppy Contest. The accommodations were a little crowded (took a half hour to get a parking space, and the hallways of the old brewery were a little tight), but you can't beat a building full of puppies (40 entrants-- and dozens more who didn't get there in time). And, being a winter weather area, there were lots of my favorite types of dogs: huskies and malamutes-- and a gigantic Saint Bernard named "Bob" (who took second place in the fan voting. The top three finishers can see seen at 2011 Cutest Puppy.
And Sunday afternoon was the beginning of the full and half marathons. The full marathon is the longest in the lower-48, and the weather was beautiful: sunny and about 15 degrees. It felt warmer than that though, but the snow was still there and perfect (there have been years where the start had to be moved due to lack of snow).
And other than a lack of planning for fans by the marathon people (two busses running from the race to the parking lot; the wait was close to an hour-- and they could have groomed the fan area a little, so it wasn't so hard to walk through-- and bleachers like at the old place the race started at-- would have been nice), it was perfect. Not many athletes will let you hang out with them before the race like mushers and their dogs do. Right up to about a half hour before they were due to leave, fans could walk right up to dogs and pet them and wish them luck-- and ask mushers questions and wish them luck as well.
And when it was time to race, those dogs are crazy. I took lots of pics and videos of the dogs howling and jumping. Some teams were pretty calm, and others needed a team of humans to hold them back from taking-off early. Sled dog marathons can be exhausting-- but those dogs just love it.
If you're interesting at all in that race (would should be ending in a day or two), check out the John Beargrease Race website.
Okay, thanks for indulging me. Here are the premieres:
Tuesday, 2/1
Seriously Funny Kids; Lifetime. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Heidi Klum hosts this show that captures the funny things kids say (some of them are the "darndest" things, if you catch my drift).
One Born Every Minute; Lifetime. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
This show goes behind the scenes at a maternity ward.
Wednesday, 2/2
Extra Virgin; Cooking Channel. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Debi Mazar and husband Gabriele Corcos take their online cooking vlog (Under the Tuscan Gun) and make a show of it.
Thursday, 2/3
If you missed last week's fantastic premiere of Archer Season Two, you can catch it again tonight after an all-new Archer (FX; 9 pm CST). This week, Sterling finds out his mom lost her savings in a Ponzi scheme. Last week, he had to protect an underage hottie who kept hitting on him. And Archer, a guy who will screw just about anything with a vagina, draws the line at underage girls.
Friday, 2/4
Who Do You Think You Are? NBC. 7 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Sunday, 2/6
There's a little thing called the Super Bowl (XLV) on Fox at 5:30 pm CST that pits The Pittsburgh Steelers against my adopted hometown state team The Green Bay Packers. Should be a good one. I may actually watch it...
If football's not your style, then check out Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl VII. I've found it to be bland beyond ten minutes at a time (show's fault; not puppies' fault), but, c'mon: they're puppies!
And after the game, Fox gives us a special episode of Glee (roughly 9:30 pm-- be sure to overrecord if using a DVR because the game could very well "go long").

Quick Recommendation-- The King's Speech
Normally I'd wait until my quarterly/half-yearly review section, but seeing as how it's in theaters now, I thought I'd mention it.
I saw The King's Speech this weekend. I knew it would be good, but I didn't realize just how good it would be.
Funny thing: I didn't want to see a movie this weekend. I've been getting my teeth kicked in at work for some time now (why I haven't finished my last six months-worth of movie reviews) and was just looking forward to a quiet night at home. But my wife and I found ourselves childless for a night, so we decided to take advantage of it. Not much showing that we knew to be good, and even though I was thinking The King's Speech would be fine to watch at home on Blu-Ray/DVD, I have to say I'm very glad I saw in a theatre. The way the film was shot, seeing the close-ups of Colin Firth on a big screen as he struggled through some scenes as the stuttering Bertie, really highighted the incredible acting he was doing.
Anyway, The King's Speech is about King George VI (whom his family called "Bertie"), who found himself thrust into the throne through a few family events that didn't go his way (he had no desire to be king). Bertie was a good family man and knew him being king would have come from some deaths in his family. He also suffered from a terrible stutter, and it did little to make him seem very royal.
And to add his panic over being a stuttering king, his country was also on the precipice of war. Hitler and the Germans were running roughshod through Europe, and his people needed a king they could stand behind.
Bertie needed someone to help him find his voice, and he finally comes into contact with Lionel Logue, played by Geoffrey Rush, an Australian who has a pretty unorthodox teaching style.
I don't want to give too much away, but it's pretty safe to say the path seems pretty standard: oddball speech therapist offends the Royal, they have a spat, but he realizes that the therapist was making headway. They work together and form a bond neither thought would happen when they started. But even though the plot seems standard enough, the two lead actors brought an incredible depth to their roles-- and to the friendship the two men form.
It's a truly wonderful film, and it's amazing to watch those two actors work their roles as they did, so do yourself a favor and check it out.

Premieres and Notables; January 24-30, 2011
Monday, 1/24
RuPaul's Drag Race; Logo. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
And now... a public service announcement:
Tuesday & Wednesday
Turner Classic Movies ends its celebration of Hal Roach Studios this month with some longer-form movies from 7 pm Tuesday to 7 pm Wednesday (CST). Like I noted two weeks ago, there are some real gems in here. I mentioned that Laurel & Hardy's best work were in shorts (because many of the longer films relegated them to bit parts; still funny, but not really what I consider "Laurel & Hardy"), but there are some gems that were closer to an hour. I admit to not knowing all the stars Hal Roach Studos had, but let me lay-out the L&H films in this marathon-- and also a long-form Little Rascals film as well.
Tuesday, 1/25
***7 pm CST-- Sons of the Desert.
Stan and Ollie lie to their wives about being sick, so they can attend their lodge meeting.
It doesn't go well.
Highly recommended. This plays out like an hour-long short. The focus is squarely on the duo, just as it should be.
8:15 pm CST-- General Spanky.
An hour and fifteen minute Little Rascals film that finds Spanky, Alfalfa, and Buckwheat in the Civil War.
Wednesday, 1/26
12:45 am CST-- Zenobia.
Only Oliver Hardy is credited here. Not sure if it follows the "L&H" pattern, but I thought I'd mention it.
***3:30 am CST-- Way Out West.
Stan and Ollie in the Old West, doing what they do.
Like "Sons of the Desert", this one is like an hour-long L&H short. Some gags held together by a fairly simple plot. Lots of great stuff here to recommend as well.
4:30 pm CST-- Bonnie Scotland.
A classic film (80 minutes long) that I have to admit, I'm not 100% sure I recall the details well enough to say this is like the others I mentioned. It's one of their more famous films, so it is worth a look.
And now, back to our regular premieres post...
Tuesday, 1/25
Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?; WE tv. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A reality show that follows Joan and Melissa Rivers.

Thursday, 1/27
Archer; FX. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Highly recommended. Even if it's "not for everyone", it's still worth a try.
Especially if you like old-school Adult Swim sensibilities, secret agents who screw anything that walks, office personnel who get aroused from being choked, drunk "mad scientist" types, traitorous heads of spy agencies, and a near-complete disrespect for manservants...
Listen: just try it...
Friday, 1/28
Working Class; CMT. 7 and 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
