Hitler Learns Michael Anthony Not Touring With Van Halen

Props to my music guru, Brian, for pointing me to this.
Never thought I'd ever say "Hitler has a point", but this clip has me thinking it.

Great stuff. Classic line: "'Dreams' is my favorite song too."





Alls I got to say is: I'm taking what I'm getting: going to see Chickenfoot, Van Halen, and Sammy Hagar and the Wabos this summer.

Rookie cops workin' their beats.
Sounds familiar...

Girls; HBO. 9:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I don't really know what this show is about other than it follows a group of twenty-something girls. Part drama, part comedy.  I have read it's pretty good.  May be worth watching.

Two women are inseparable-- much to the dismay of one's boyfriend...
I watched the pilot ep last week, and it was a struggle. Not funny.
Of course, if we've learned anything the last twelve months, we've learned you can't judge a comedy by its shitty pilot.
I still don't have high hopes for this one...

Day Jobs; GAC. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Happy Endings (ABC; 8:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
And speaking of comedies that had lousy beginnings...

Another fishing show; this time about flounder. (The title is just to get you excited.)
Okay-- it's really about tuna.

Fox aired the pilot a few weeks ago, and they're calling this the "World Premiere" as it lands in its normal timeslot tonight.

Archer (FX; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.

Walking Dead Finale Tonight

Saw this pic and decided to post it because it pretty much sums up what tonight's ep (AMC; 8:00 pm CST):



I read what could be a real plot synopsis of tonight's season finale, and if half of it is true, it'll be the wildest episode of this show so far.  As we've seen the past two weeks, this show is not afraid to kill-off characters, and there should some more graves needing to be dug as the zombie hoard descends on the farm.

EDIT [after watching the finale]:
Okay-- that's how you end a season.  The spoilers I read were dead-on, but actually seeing the two Season Three set-ups (that were pure catnip for comic book nerds) were still cool.  The mysterious stranger (who comic readers know) with the unique weapon and companions-- and that last camera pan up to reveal the setting for the third season. 
Damn!  October is a long way away...

Ruin (short film)

Cool chase scene.
