Ain’t it a shame that there are only 12 more weeks of football to play? If you haven’t been paying attention, don’t worry…I’ll fill you in with a few minor details.
Today, Brett Favre threw six touchdowns to three different Jets, the Chiefs won for the first time in modern recollection and Lane Kiffin lost, again.

The scariest movie of the upcoming October Halloween season does NOT have a number after the title or the word blood involved, and that’s amazing. Yes, this is prime time for horror flicks–this is horror’s Christmas, baby–and it’s amazing, but more and more it looks like Disney’s going to have the current frontrunner.
With WHAT? You’re probably asking, staring at your monitor with something like horror etched onto your features. What could DISNEY possibly bring to October that’s scarier than Saw V?

The fan translation hack of Mother 3 is finished, though it’s not yet released. Check it:
The Mother series is better known as “Earthbound” in the U.S., but not much better. When Mother 2 was released stateside in 1995, it was a commercial flop.

Recently, Bill Murray showed up unexpectedly at Fantastic Fest, where some enterprising videojournalist asked about Ghostbusters 3. Murray had quite a few thoughts on the subject.
I think the wounds from Ghostbusters 2 have healed. And supposedly they have hired two guys from The Office to write a script. So that could work. I think that’s a good idea to get a fresh look at… I always liked the characters. The characters are fun. And we did have a lot of fun making the movie. The first one was really a lot of fun to make. And I think the first 45 minutes of Ghostbusters is about as fun as a movie gets.

It’s become almost painfully clear what Sacha Baron Cohen’s next movie is. Having managed to drive Borat into the ground with a series of lawsuits that made it all but impossible for him to ever pull that same joke twice, is instead planning to switch to fashion critic alter ego Bruno. The title which will manage to be an even bigger mouthful than Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, is slated to be Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male.
In fact, while trying to promote this movie, Sasha Baron Cohen was actually arrested at Milan after evading security and making his way onto the catwalk during an actual fashion show where he showed an outfit of fabrics and accessories held together by Velcro. It’s not surprising the film of the incident can be found on YouTube and other websites giving Sacha Baron Cohen an easy burst of publicity for his upcoming film.

When you buy Rock Band 2, you get to download 20 additional songs from the extensive library of content that was produced for the original. Except you can’t. It’s supposed to be here, but they’ve been asking you to “check back in a few days” for two weeks now.
What is the deal? I know it’s still early in the game’s life, but this was one of the selling points. Plus, most DLC purchases come in the first month of a game’s life. It seems like this would be an excellent way to introduce more casual players to the online library.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m not the only first-time debate watcher out there. Friday’s smackdown between the two candidates, who are about as different as two people can be, was a little anticlimactic. I guess I was hoping to lose my debate virginity to something special.
I followed the debate on CNN and on Twitter, both of which provided real-time audience reactions from admittedly small and self-selected group. On CNN, a line graph shows reactions from a group of 32 people who turned dials to express their approval or disapproval of what a candidate was saying.

A lot of negative energy is directed at insurance companies these days. Mostly health insurance. Nearly all of us have dealt with it at some point, and have encountered the Catch-22 of, say, not being able to get coverage for an ambulance ride unless it is pre-authorized by the insurance company. I swear I am not making this up.
But health insurance isn’t the only racket out there. Anyone who’s had something stolen, or, God forbid, had a family member die, knows all about the evils of insurance in general. Life insurance isn’t as commonly maligned as health insurance, but it’s just as bad.
