Field of Dreams 2: The Solution for the NFL Lockout

With all the hub-bub over the impending NFL Lockout, I'm surprised someone hasn't built their own "field of dreams" already. Watch this great Funny or Die short starring Taylor Lautner, with tons of great cameos from athletes to people from the original FIELD OF DREAMS.

Catch the video after the break, and let me know your favorite cameo in the comments!

March Madness Begins!

USC plays tonight in March Madness! I'm so excited, I'll be pigging out and cheering loudly at LA's newest Buffalo Wild Wings. In honor of the occasion, check out the best NCAA March Madness moments, as reenacted by Legos.

My Favorite Super Bowl Ads

Overall, I thought it was a pretty weak selection of ads this year. There was a whole lot of can throwing, iPhone close ups, and just overall boring spots that faded from memory as soon as the game came back on. However, there were a few bright spots.

Captain America: The First Avenger

While Thor and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 gave us footage we'd all seen before, this gave us some wholly new clips and did not disappoint.

Star Wars Kid for Volkswagon


I was a bit miffed that commercials were coming out before the game (way to kill the suspense!) but this ad still proved to be among the best after all was said and done.

Who hasn't worried about this very disaster occurring? Well, this tire would help you drive fast and accurately enough to stop everyone from reading that email.

NFL Super Bowl ad using old TV Shows


As a huge TV fan, I loved that they used these clips from older shows to illustrate just how the Super Bowl, and football in general is integrated into our culture. Plus, looking back at these old shows just made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

TV Viewers Watch Different Shows Online

'Glee' sings to a forgotten generation - Journey, Young MC and Cyndi Lauper. The show grooves to the '80s while turning stereotypes on their head. Finally, the music of tail-end boomers is heard.

Super Bowl XLIV

What a great game! The Saints vs. Colts game was definitely the best superbowl I've ever seen. Not necessarily for the game play itself, but for the fact that I actually cared about the outcome and was pulling for a team. The city of New Orleans deserved this one and the better team won. But, I'll leave the sports talk to those more in the know than I (pst, have you checked out my boyfriend's sports/poker blog?).

Now, on to things I know more about - commercials! There were some really great ads, this year, but I'll just post my favorite one below:



I love how they were able to tell a whole story without any spoken words. Plus, the quietness of the commercial actually made more people pay attention, at least at the Super Bowl party I was at.

I hope you all enjoyed the game!

For being a short week, it felt a lot longer. Oh well, price of being busy busy busy I guess. Here are some articles I enjoyed this week. Check 'em out!

Dollhouse: (Briefly) The Best Show on Television - since its cancellation was announced, it's like the show's been on steroids! So much is happening in each episode, it's firing in all cylinders, and throwing surprises at us left and right. I LOVE IT.

Pushing Daisies Rises From The Dead. Sort Of.

"Green Lantern" will have a "Flash Gordon" element - I'm definitely looking forward to this movie. Ryan Reynolds will make a great superhero.
