Gotta give credit to AK for this one. Normally, I wouldn’t repost, but its too good not to. Seems like the audience doesn’t know what the hell Colbert is talking about.
Speaking of Amitabh, his heir apparent and prodigal son, Abhishek Bachan, announced his plans to wed Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai later this year. For those who don’t know, this is akin to Charles marrying Diana, or Brad marrying Angelina. These two are like the royalty of Bollywood, and pretty much the biggest stars at the moment.
I’m not much for entertainment gossip, but the reason I bring it up is so I can tell the following story.
Before I came to the US in ‘84, I lived, and attended school, in Juhu Scheme, a little suburb outside of Mumbai. This area is where all the big Bollywood stars lived, including Amitabh. At one point, Abhishek attended the same school as me, and we were in the same class. Anyway, we became friends and he invited us over to his mansion for masala chai and biscuits. We met his actress/mother Jaya Bachan, but sadly, Amitabh wasn’t there, and I don’t remember much else about this since it was 20+ years ago. Once we moved to the US, we lost touch, and I forgot about him until he broke through into Bollywood movies a few years back.
And now I hear he is getting married. Abhiskek, if you’re reading this, don’t forget to invite me to your wedding, but more importantly, to your bachelor party. I’m ready for some dhamal-masti.

Why can’t we have this much crazy fun in the United States?

I am tired of hearing about you and your childish fued with Rosie every single day on the news. When I watch the news, I expect to hear about important goings on in the world, not this nonsense.
I think your valuable time would be better spent focusing on your real-estate business, rather than calling in to every single news channel, everyday, to put people down. Please grow up and stop your whining and bickering.
In conclusion, please STFU.

I had this week all planned out. My goal was to post one clip a day, everyday, leading up to the premiere of 24 on Sunday. Well, someone went and threw my plan out of whack by leaking the first 4 hours of Day 6 on the interweb.
Needless to say, presented with this unscrupulous opportunity, I could no longer wait until Sunday to catch my fix of 24. It’s been 6 months too many since Jack Bauer was kidnapped, and I needed him back. So I watched it.
Beware, potential spoilers coming up, so if you don’t want to know what happens, TURN AWAY NOW.
The United States is under attack by extremist Muslim terrorists, carrying out suicide bombings in cities throughout the country. Hundreds of people have been killed, and America is in a state of paranoia. Palmer enlists CTU to put a stop to the attacks, and the only way they can do so is by getting Jack back from the Chinese. Little does Jack know, however, that after being turned over by the Chinese, his freedom will be short-lived.
Chloe O’Brian is back, as is Curtis Manning, Bill Buchanan, and Milo, who some of you may remember from the first season of 24. Wayne Palmer is President, Karen Hayes is National Security Advisor. And of course, Jack is back, and he apparently hasn’t spoken a word in 2 years.
The bad guys look to be badder than before. I find myself seriously creeped out by the main terrorist baddie, Abu Fayed. Kal Penn, my favorite Indian-American actor, appears to be a key villainous henchman, although I do hope he turns out to be a good guy. And then there’s Alexander Siddig, he of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fame, and more recently from Syriana, who plays another terrorist head, Al-Assad. It appears we will have a battle of terrorist wits between Fayed and Al-Assad.
These are our major players so far. I hope as the season progresses, we meet characters from seasons past: ex-President Logan, Audrey Raines, James Heller, and of course Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce. Perhaps they’ll somehow bring Tony Almeida back, but thats hoping for too much.
Finally, I should also mention that we are presented with one of the most awesomest Jack Bauer moments EVER in the history of 24. A moment which will make you yell, “Holy fuck!” I seriously don’t know how Jack Bauer could get any more bad-ass.
5 out of 5 Dinostars.

Oh no, what is Chloe up to, and is she helping the terrorists?

UPDATE 2: And Finally, here it is wonderful Quicktime HD. It just gets better and better.
UPDATE: Now linking to UK/English trailer, available in full-screen high-def! Man oh man, I am stoked. This movie is going to rule.
Holy crap! The new Transformers teaser trailer up, in French that is. At the moment, its pretty low quality, but a higher resolution version should be up in a few hours. Check out the French dubbed trailer here:

My goodness it looks awesome. Definitely glimpses of robots: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are in there, as well as others. Stuff blowing up all over the place in typical Michael Bay style. I’m still not completely sold on the robot designs, but i’ve got faith in my man Michael Bay. If anyone can pull off a great summer blockbuster, its him.
My excitement level for this movie has just gone up by about 1,000%.
