Well, look what the cat drug in? 2009 already and boy has the site gone stale! I do admit it has been a while since I've updated the blog but I must explain... very good things have happened. A late congratulations to my partner in crime and buddy Editor Alan and his brand new baby boy, Simon who was born last Fall. Alan has taken the alter-ego of "Super Dad" and has being doing well with his better half, Wendi. Best wishes to the Kravit Family!
As for myself... I've been working and surfing. Times are tough with the sour economy and I plan to update the blog as often as possible as time permits. I still work the 9-5 and try my best to get out into this entertaining world as much as possible. Other than that... life is good in San Diego.
2009 is a time for new resolutions and new beginnings. Here's a list of things to look out for in the entertainment world in this very promising new year.
* New President.... new look:
President Elect Barack Obama takes office next week and it will change the face of politics and everything it affects.. which is everything. TV shows and film will have more African-American politicians casted as high ranking officials and this is a good thing. This will help erase negative stereotypes associated with African-Americans in entertainment. We've already seen this changing of the guard in the show 24 where actor Dennis Haysbert played President Palmer in the early part of the series who can be seen recently in Allstate Insurance commercials.
We also saw another African American President in Heroes when actor Michael Dorn took the role of the President of the United States in the upcoming second half of the season this February.* More Comic Movies!!!!
Transformers 2, Dragonball, G.I. Joe, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and of course... Watchmen. Nuff Said!
* Harry Potter is hotter.
The powers that be should consider standardizing calendars to show if it is a year that a Harry Potter movie comes out on. It would make soccer mom's lives a lot easier and would help Summer movie traffic.
* Recession Obsession
Not that it's a good thing to obsess about but this recession will affect the entertainment biz strongly. As if it hasn't already? Job cuts have effected major studios and this will greatly affect the production time of movies and tv shows. I was watching the Golden Globes the other day, and I even heard fashion analysts discussing how the recession has made actors dress more frugal and conservative in reflection to the financial times we live in. I just hope I don't see Megan Fox wearing Wal-Mart granny panties.
* Comic Con 2009
Need I say more?
Comic Con with solve everything.... I can't wait till Summer!!!
Til then... I'll be kicking it with 2 guys who's lives came up short... the dude from Prison Break and Tupac. R.I.P. you both.
