March Madness

Posted by cormeister on 20 Mar 2009 | Tagged as: Sports, TV

In my world College Basketball is far superior to the NBA. I consider the rivalries, the drama, and the actual play to be much more entertaining than what can be found in the NBA. This, of course, means that March Madness is a fantastic time to be a college basketball fan for me. Making things even better, this year CBS has decided to stream all of the 63 games of the tournament over the internet. Check out this link if you want to watch the madness!

An End to the Feud

Posted by cormeister on 13 Mar 2009 | Tagged as: Funny, TV

Check out this link from the Consumerist. It contains three clips of Jon Stewart absolutely kicking the crap out of Jim Cramer and CNBC. The beatdown is very akin to when Stewart went on Crossfire…and we all know how that ended up. Lets wait and see if “Mad Money” gets canceled after three weeks…just like Crossfire.

For any who are interested, here is the link for Jon Stewart singlehandedly bringing down a television show.

Ryan’s Last Hurrah

Posted by cormeister on 10 Mar 2009 | Tagged as: Food, Music, Travel, Uncategorized

My taste in music has been well documented. So when I was asked if I would like to drive 10 hours to El Paso and catch a concert by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, my response was less than enthusiastic. A good portion of what I have heard of RA has been his solo performances at a piano while being extremely emo. He says things like “I wish I could trade my piano for a gun. I suck so bad it would probably sound the same.” However, I was relieved that he didn’t do any of that nonsense, and instead the Cardinals played a great set and truly made me a fan.

I Watched Watchmen

First, I am sorry for the title… it was too obvious to not do. I welcome your hatred.

Watchmen is the latest Zack Snyder movie, and definitely his best. Let me sum up my mini-review right here: If you are a big fan, go in expecting a great adaptation (think the latest movie version of Hitchhiker’s Guide). If you have never read Watchmen, put your thinking caps on (the plot is a little convuluted) and go see an excellent film. Don’t read on if you don’t want spoilers.
