This is way too much for Jewish humor or humor in general, maybe the ratings of Curb are dropping and the executives are hiding that fact but one thing is for sure is that Larry pulled a Peter Griffin.

Genre is not an issue of body but an issue of mind and influenced by roles in a society. A man is not going to be less of a man if he will express some emotions or say I love you, you are what you are but also society can be young an immature to accept more than the previously established conventionalism maybe as a society we have a long way to go to understand that the world is not black and white but it have all the specters of color imaginable. Maybe with Chaz Bono we have learned a few new things about the reassignment process that is not easy on a personal and social level but feeling good with your outside as you are in your insides can make you overcome with any challenge in life.
Is interesting that someone public as Chaz is giving to the public a more deep look about the process even if he wants to maintain it private it has become public than any other celebrity because of the interest of the media but even in that circus Chaz says that he’s starting to feel happy in the outside as in the inside because he’s becoming what he really was; but in a process like that, that is so delicate the person like Chaz can achieve a successful result with emotional support because after the operations there are going to be emotional wounds as well.

At least this one was a good week for Marvel since it fused with Disney; a few of the highlights of this weeks are the debut of Necrosha, the 20th issue of X-Force Vol 3 and X-Factor #50 Vol 2 (which was interesting even if don’t negate some previous time-lines regarding Trevor Fitzroy but rather gives more questions about the Summer’s Rebellion and Layla herself).
The last issue of the “filler” arc of Not Forgotten; nothing really happened in this arc and it was only a filler story before Necrosha began. The story itself don’t give too much to the myths of the X-Force but it’s rather an interesting exploration about Laura Kinney (X-23) and that she is more than the perfect soldier.
Beside that explanation there is not much to give to the concluded story about the Not Forgotten but if you want to wait for something good wait until Necrosha’s X-Force comes up.
This is probably one of the best issues of X-Factor ever but at the same time is one of those issues that leave more questions than answers but at least many of those questions regarding the continuity of the title and Marvel in General.
There are so many points to speak about this issue and maybe the first one is about Layla Miller; this issue contradicts with the previous ones regarding her clairvoyance powers, explicitly saying that those weren’t her power at all but rather healing and resurrection at the cost of giving back life but without the soul of the resurrected individual and that her knowledge of knowing stuff comes from a meeting with herself after returning from the future thus by creating a time loop/ predestination paradox about how Layla knew about a lot of things and from time to time giving doubts to everyone when she didn’t knew the exact information about what was going to happen.
The second interrogation about this issue comes in the bonus content where Franklin and Valeria Richards appear in what supposedly to be a cross over with the Fantastic Four but that is not the issue, the issue is about Valeria displaying from what it seems to be some kind of flying ability or some kind of telekinesis but according to the comic book itself we have to wait until December to see what happens.
On the meantime I will continue this entry tomorrow.

It seems old demons always follow old people no matter how much time has passed in life. Director Roman Polanski is going to appeal again for his freedom to the highest court in Switzerland after officers denied his latest bail request. Polanski who pleaded guilty in 1978 of raping a 13 year old girl fled to France not long before his final sentence was adjudicated to him 30 years ago, and now 31 years later his punishment is coming at a slow but secure step.
Almost a month ago Polanski was put in jail when he was heading to a festival in Zurich and so far he has been behind bars and twice his petition had been denied by the Swiss Criminal Authorities but his lawyers said that they are going to prove the opposite. Maybe they should think that we are talking about a man who admitted 30 years ago rapping a 13 year old girl and that beside his movies he’s been famous for that.

Even if today episode didn’t showed too much about anything I have to say I love it because it goes with the flow of the arc and even so far I guess what is going to be happening in the next episode.
The main topic of this episode was accepting your fate because there are something we can’t change from the past but we can make better the future; probably that’s something Hiro is going to be realizing on the next episode when he tries to save Charlie but Charlie saves him onto accepting his destiny and that the ultimate path for some of us is death, no matter how hard we try to avoid it.
The season so far has been running smoothly, the storyline don’t look hurry up and the ensemble is having more chemistry than the past few seasons; I have to say that the characters had evolved as well by showing a more mature point of view to their lives and well to their gifts, maybe now the show is exalting a more a realistic approach about people with specials abilities instead of following an extremely fantastic side of the comic books. One of the characters that has particularly evolved is Hiro as “he’s” no more the selfish individual of the first episodes but rather a more “stoic person” person toward his actions but without loosing the charming and innocent side that has always been present with the character.
Probably at last Sylar is heading into a more positive direction rather than the cartoon villain that the character was becoming and I don’t think the producers are going to let go Zachary Quinto that easily by writing him off of the series after his popularity raised after the reboot of Star Trek; because the character itself looks regretted toward some of his past actions. I hope the producers and writers keep the good work for the next season and I really hope that all the episodes of this season are as good as the first ones.

Poor Sarah Michelle Gellar, one of the best actresses of our generation and her career ended after Scooby Doo 2. At least somethings in her life aren’t that bad, her daughter Charlotte Prinze was born in September and basically that is the good news on the other hand her career has been on the professional purgatory for over a decade now and it seems that she can’t be detached from the role of Buffy Summers (Wow not even Kelsey Grammer is attached to Frasier and he played the character for ten years) as well her hubby Freddy Prinze Jr. who hasn’t acted in quite a while.
According to E! the pilot of Sarah new comeback The Wonderful Maladys is in the development purgatory and maybe it’s going to hell because the executives from HBO are having doubts about choosing her pilot for the 2010 lineup and probably is not going to be picked.
I imagined that the script was bad and maybe the acting was so so but poor Sarah Michelle Gellar you need to reinvent yourself or keep appearing in Robot Chicken.

So there problems in the Karadashian / Jenner paradise? It seems so. According to FOX411 it seems to be that any of the Kardashians can’t stand each other as soon the cameras of their reality show finish the rolling.
According to the entertainment section of FOX one of the main detonators of the family feud was Khris Kardashian meddling into her daughter Khloe wedding with L.A. Laker Lamar Odom because she wanted the wedding to be rushed as soon as possible so it was filmed for their reality (Oh! Khris, life is not a sitcom) but that was only the beginning then it came meddling into other more serious details as the one where Khloe wanted that her two best friends were her bridesmaid and not her sisters, something that mama Kardashian changed her daughter plans and put her two other daughters as the bridesmaids to keep the perfection image.
Ouch! but not only that, also other people that work inside the show say that Bruce’s son Brody has developed anger issues and he didn’t showed to the wedding of his step sister, but the sisters say that they try to stay away from Brody because after the fight of Brody’s Jenner with a common friend of the family Brody has been acting erratic and the sisters want to make their brother to see the truth about his girlfriend. Definitely is impossible to keep up with the Kardashians.

If only Republicans were more sexy and less frigid maybe they will be more popular since the Bush Numero Dos Administration. If Meghan decides to run for President I can bet she will have many votes to her favor; but due the photo Meghan received a number of complains similar Miley Cyrus received and even so far Meghan was saying that she was going to delete her twitter account but Meghan you don’t need to feel ashamed of your body because a bunch of puritans said that you are a slut but remember to be careful because you are so a famous person, so better take some measures next time.

Even in the death Michael Jackson continues to generate some kind of controversy; this time AllGood Entertainment is the responsible for the latest drama; and they want more than US$300 Million in revenues for the movie that chronicled the last days of the King of Pop and even so far they want to share revenues of the Sony Catalog.
AllGood also is suing John Branca and John McClain the specials co-administrators of the Jackson State as well Frank Dileo because he acted as a booking agent and he even promised that a Jackson 5 reunion would happened but AllGood didn’t expected that Michael Jackson was going to die and now they are wanting retribution. This situation is more crazy than Britney Spears Circus (and I don’t mean the song).
