You're gunna die in 7 days.....

from excitement that Big Brother is returning.

I would like to take this moment to apologize in advance for the gluttonous amount of Big Brother 8 information you are going to be exposed to in the coming months. But here's the thing, I think you should get into the show with me. Ya don't have to watch every night....although that's how the addiction starts and the next thing you know you're watching all three nights a week on CBS, ordering the off-hours feeds on Showtime, getting the 24/7 live camera access on your computer at work and playing the Big Brother online fantasy game, which is basically like fantasy football except with people in the big brother house....and it's totally gay.

but seriously, it's a great game show where you get to watch people slowly manipulate one another for prizes, food and money.

oh and fame, that probably is a factor too.

anyhoo, to whet (good word) your appetite for the impending Julie Chen-led onslaught of drunken buffoonery, POV & HOH competitions, weeks of slop, seemingly parties, product plugs galore and more "But First"s then you can shake a stick at, I bring you: The Roommates

Bring On The Bot!

OK, lets just get this out of the way. I love Big Brother. No, strike that. I am obsessed with Big Brother. It’s the only reality show which I have absolutely no problem watching three times a week (in fact, I often wish for nightly airings). There was much discussion how last season’s All-Star version sucked (I’m 50/50 on that, mostly because of Janelle) but there is no denying it was still great television. So when it came time to bring on an all new cast of characters many fans were left wondering what the twist would be. See there’s always a twist to BB (fan lingo). Two years ago it was The X-Factor, where 75% of the housemates had previously dated and had no idea their exes were going to be living with them. The following year was Project DNA, where by some amazing casting miracle the producers actually found two long-lost siblings who didn’t know each other and reunited them in the house—but only after they lived together for a few weeks and realized they didn’t actually like one another.

Needless to say, the bar was high this year and in my opinion the producers found a brilliant idea. WORST ENEMIES!

Yup, that dude you hated in high school, guess what? You’re living with him for 3 months now! That bitch you dated 4 years ago who stole your car, broke your nose and left you broke? Yep, she’s there too! It’s going to be fraktastic watching the wave of realization wash over the housemates when they are informed of what the twist is.

I say, bring it Chenbot! I’ve missed you so much in the long span since last summer. All together now: “But First!”

TransBourners

Today, two of Jarett's Most Anticipated Summer Movies made big statements in the form of their posters: Transformers and The Bourne Ultimatum. I absolutely loved the first two Bourne movies and who didn't own 100 Transformers as a kid? My favorite was Soundwave, the Decepticon with a tape deck in his chest. Hey, considering they updated the other Transformers for movie, shouldn't he be sporting an iPod instead?

Yea! I don't have to visit a friend in jail!

Happy 21st Birthday Today Shia! You best treat her right, you hear?

This helps a bit

Disgruntled at The Sopranos finale? Me too, but this makes me feel a little bit better. Too bad I'm not one of the fans who notices the details of this show.

So here is what I found out. The guy at the bar is also credited as Nikki Leotardo. The same actor played him in the first part of season 6 during a brief sit down concerning the future of Vito. That wasn't that long ago. Apparently, he is the nephew of Phil. Phil's brother Nikki Senior was killed in 1976 in a car accident. Absolutely Genius!!!! David Chase is truly rewarding the true fans who pay attention to detail.

So the point would have been that life continues and we may never know the end of the Sopranos. But if you pay attention to the history, you will find that all the answers lie in the characters in the restaurant. The trucker was the brother of the guy who was robbed by Christopher in Season 2. Remember the DVD players? The trucker had to identify the body. The boy scouts were in the train store and the black guys at the end were the ones who tried to kill Tony and only clipped him in the ear (was that season 2 or 3?)."
