Big Blue Arndt: January 2008 Archives

I was skimming Bob Waters' blog finding his fevered article begging the universe and God to not let it be true that Jack Bauer has been recast with Keanu Reeves. Apparently he found a practical joker-altered Wikipedia entry that made the claim. Naturally it wasn't so, but when I was skimming Wikipedia's 24 article I found that the new President character will be a woman!

As an aside, my first woman POTUS on television was on the X-Men cartoon from the nineties. It seemed rather shallow and the President character only was meaningful later in the series, when it was a name character.

The new President will be played by Cherry Jones. I do not know who she is. One is fit to wonder if "Allison Taylor" will act like a Hillary Clinton (of course the Hillary character on the show has already been and done) or be played as a Margaret Thatcher character.

Time will tell.

Going back we see an article by our fearless leader expounding on the lack of promotion for the new movie marketed as AVP-R and entitled Aliens versus Predator Requiem, and then putting forth conjecture and drawing conclusions based on that premise. The problem is that the premise is wrong. If any of his conjecture and any of his conclusions after that are at all correct then it is a bloody good coincidence.

• I will become more adept at scanning and editing images from my comic books and text from my books for articles
• I will update my Image Archives and create a system for their sufficient and efficient use
• I will improve the Chris Arndt homepage and make Apologies Demanded more accessible to new readers; I will actually make my Star Trek and Lost blogs viable reads
• Convince enough Monitor Duty readers to charitably purchase comics from my get-rid-of-it box for more than they are worth so I can resolve my tax problem with the government
• More product reviews
• I will find ways to make the other Monitor Duty contributors redundant
• I will do my multi-part takedown of "Legends"
• I will do the same with "Star Trek Enterprise" and Michael Bay's "Transformers",
• along with finishing that one article predicting why the new Superman movie would be bad (it was written and almost completed several months before the movie was released); it turned out to be ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ON ALL COUNTS.
