Hmm... Time To Cry UNCLE?

Many are those crusty ol' uncle types pouting out there, this summer; they have been having doubts and expressed outright disgust and contempt over what Warner Bros. has done to their old favorites time has pretty much forgotten: the Men From U.N.C.L.E. - Illya Kuryakin and Napoleon Solo.

And, one has to wonder, looking at the evidence (and, yes, we have bothered to watch the film, too) - can these old geezers who double as fanboys still, after all these years, be blamed in the least?

The review of this Guy Flick will be unveiled on another blog, at another time (somewhere, here, on this vast, and ever luminous, TLB Prime Network!) but, for now, let us just ponder along with the fans over said evidence in this sordid affair, indeed...!

Huh? Who are you?

I'M Illya Kuryakin!

well... it's HERE, actually - cry UNCLE already!

hmm... golden globes?

Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind -often employing the same thespians, over and over again- AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things "THE GOLDEN GLOBES" as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!! The most prestigious award they have to give out, truth be told, probably would be the CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh? As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above... The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh) Yeah, yeah - alright, alright; they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too... ...

Hmm... Star Wars is real?

This museum exhibit in Boston seems to be trying to make the case that Star Wars "science" and real science are getting closer and closer with each passing day... Yes, folks, we may very well be driving around in our own private little Land Speeder one day, soon... hmm... well, maybe... However, until they make them nifty light-sabers, I will not be convinced - nor satisfied! But of course, light-sabers are to be handled only by enlightened ones, as on the big screen now! For reality sure needs to imitate art if they ever do make them light-sabers - like, commercially!? Imagine them becoming available in an all-American Wal-Mart near you: any nitwit could pick one up, just like, I dunno, just like they buy a gun, for crying out loud! It should be restricted to an elite customer-base, really, for we do NOT want fanatics, lunatics or other "ics" strutting around brandishing weapons like that, now do we? They better ponder the question carefully before making any more...

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...

l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...
