A Few Thoughts from the Weekend

"Cloverfield": Yes, the mystery trailer that was shown before Transformers, and a piece of marketing genius. Of course, when you get this kind of hype, especially with a J.J. Abrams project, you know that the finished product will never be able to live up to it. I mean, as a fan of Alias, I was really let down with how the whole Rambaldi thing came down. I am not going to speculate about what this new project is going to be because I know in my heart I will be disappointed.

Live Earth: Didn't watch it... it was on 5 channels, and I still couldn't be bothered to tune in for more than 2 minutes at a time(mostly just flipping by the channel that had the Rio feed and seeing no performances). The cynical side of me wonders how many of the artists that performed were just doing so for the good publicity.

Stealth Gaming: Around 5 or 6 months ago, I reported that I just never got into the whole stealth thing when it came to gaming.... but after whetting my palate with titles from the Metal Gear series, I've come around to that way of thinking. So I admit that I was wrong.

More Professional Football
: A group is trying to put together another professional football league in the United States featuring exclusively alumni from the most prestigious college teams. Now, this is something I don't really talk about much here, but when it comes to sports, there is only one that catches my imagination and it is football, both in the professional and collegiate varieties, and I like the foundations of this league. Basically, it looks like it is going to take the aspects I like most about the college game(like the rivalries) and the professional game and put it together into a great spring league. I mean, I'd rather watch football in the spring time than baseball... I abhor baseball (like many of you out there loathe football), so I would like to have the option of watching decent football action and not that stupid arena league.
