24 Ends…May 24. Is That A Coincidence?

(Note: I didn’t write this shit. It’s copied and pasted from Fox)After eight seasons, the Kiefer Sutherland-starring spy series “24” will come to an end on May 24. Fox revealed on Friday that this season’s closer will cap off the series. Sutherland further confirmed to EW.com that there won’t be any return to TV for the show on another network. Big screens perhaps, but no network migration.

“The writers are producing the equivalent of 12 films a year, which is unheard of, and producer Howard Gordon] felt to do a ninth would be potentially damaging,” Sutherland said. “We both felt strongly that there has been a demand and an interest in a ’24’ film, which would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day, so we felt it was time to move in that direction.”

So the news a few weeks ago about momentum building around a movie adaptation wasn’t idle talk. But which characters will return? Sutherland’s Jack Bauer of course. But who else? Perhaps Chase Edmunds, who was played by “The Pacific” star James Badge Dale?

Chase Edmunds was a notable character during the show’s third season. He was Jack’s partner while also secretly dating his daughter, Kim (a bold, risky move– I wouldn’t want Sutherland pissed at me). He was quite the badass throughout the season… until he lost his hand keeping the world safe from terror. The last time we saw Chase, he was being wheeled away to hopefully have that hand of his reattached.

I asked Badge in a recent interview if we might see Chase come back for a “24” movie and what has character has been up to since we last saw him. “I think Chase is out of shape by now,” he said. “It’s been a long time. He’s been eating, he’s got one hand, he’s a single father. That wears on you man. I think Chase is balding, sitting in a recliner, driving a minivan.”

Sooooooo… no more badass Chase? That’s what it sounds like. I wonder if Badge’s tune will change once the producers approach him to join the movie. It would almost be better if it doesn’t but still appears in the movie, I think.

Politician on Facebook: Anime proof that two nukes weren’t enough

Video below

by Chris Matyszczy
It must be a relief to many that our petty indiscretions, those that appear online and seem to haunt us daily, will soon become so normal as to be irrelevant.

It must be a particular relief to Nick Levasseur, a Democratic New Hampshire state representative, who, according the Huffington Post, used Facebook to offer his rather strong views on anime. Reports failed to record why Levasseur is so pained by the rather beautiful Japanese style of animation.

However, he is reported to have written on his Facebook page these rather difficult words: “Anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn’t enough.”

These reports appear to be believable, as Levasseur has issued a statement apologizing for the offensive post, if not for his lack of taste.

“I would like to deeply apologize for the insensitivity of this post. It was a poorly thought out comment, posted in jest on my private Facebook page,” he said.

When comments like this emerge, what always seems lost is the identity of the person who happened to take Levasseur’s words to a wider audience. However, a site called RedHampshire.com claimed that this wasn’t a mere comment, but, in fact, Levasseur’s status update.

Isn’t the deepest principle of a politician–and I know not many of their principles leave the shallow end of the thought pool–that of being very slightly careful about what you might say to whom. And where.

Don’t politicians know that Mark Zuckerberg has declared privacy dead? Don’t they realize what is going on? And now, so soon after this alleged jest, there is already a Facebook group, with the frightfully restrained and almost poetic name “Why Nickolas Levasseur, just why?”

The Tragedy That Is FaceBook Part One

In my opinion there is nothing wrong with being a Satanist, or devil worshipper or wiccan or witch or what-have-you so long as you aren’t carving someone’s cat or drinking my blood or anything else that  violates a good and reasonable law. A heads up though. If you describe yourself on your Facebook profile as a “born Satanist” and then go on to say that you are a  “professional web designer for various business and personal sites”  as far as I’m concerned you’ve blown the image. If you are committed to the “black arts” and then go out into the world and break bread with housewives and plumbers in order to get their web site business I think the whole thing winds up making you look like 50 yards of dipshit. You’re no longer Drago or Blacula the Satanist. You’ve become the web design guy with the pierced lip, black fingernails, and purple mascara. You’re the weird fucker who does a pretty good job….most of the time….and that’s it. Idea: If you are The Black Saint or some other persona on Facebook…don’t let anyone know what you do for a living because I don’t think putting down “web designer” looks any cooler than “milk man” when you’re a slave to Satan.

Hi, I’m into the demon.
