Thursday, 20 May 2004: Tonight, on NBC, between the two scheduled repeats of Friends, you will be able to watch a 10-minute American Express commercial starring Jerry Seinfeld and Superman. Yes, not only is Jerry finally returning to NBC (albeit for only 10 minutes), but he finally will be sharing small-screen space with his idol who, if my ears serve me correctly, is being voiced by Patrick Warburton (Elaine's boyfriend "Puddy" on Seinfeld).

However, if you would rather not sit through Friends reruns, you can catch the commercial in Flash format at the AmEx website. Here's a direct link.

It's actually quite funny and Warburton is the perfect voice for Supes.

Wednesday, 19 May 2004: Wow. I've been posting a lot of images this week, haven't I? Well, here's another one for ya to consider...

This one comes from Ain't It Cool News and was confirmed by The Digital Bits as being one of the many changed scenes in the upcoming DVD release of Star Wars. This one is from the ending of Return of the Jedi and, if you recall, that head on the left should belong to Sebastian Shaw, the man who played Anakin Skywalker under the Darth Vader helmet. However, George Lucas has taken it upon himself to digitally insert Hayden Christianson (Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and the upcoming Episode III) over Shaw.

Seriously, though, shouldn't Anakin be showing in his Jedi ghost form in the way that Luke actually saw him? Which would be as Sebastian Shaw. Unless, of course, Lucas is changing the helmet removal scene as well. I wouldn't put it past him.

Disgusting and blasphemous... in a filmic sense, of course.

Once again, I would like to throw out a plug for OriginalTrilogy.com. If you haven't signed their petition to bring the unaltered original SW trilogy to DVD, please do so now.

Oh, and if you would like an alternate take on changes that should be made to Star Wars (these to Episode III, and not to the original films), read this article from MSNBC. It's quite funny.

Tuesday, 18 May 2004: Never before have I wanted to be a police officer so much. Or a criminal being arrested, for that matter. Check out the new ride that the Italian Polizia have as part of their Force.

It is a Lamborghini Gallardo. This puppy reaches a top speed of 185 miles per hour which is faster than I could ever possibly even imagine.

Arrest me... please.

Monday, 17 May 2004: Considering that tonight marked the introduction of the new CSI: New York cast in a crossover episode of CSI: Miami (which was very cool, by the way), I have a question to throw out there...

The original CSI uses The Who's "Who Are You" as its theme song. CSI: Miami uses The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again". My question is, will Bruckheimer, et al, be able to keep up the trend and employ another Who song for CSI: NY and, if so, which one will it be?
