CELEBRITY NEWS - Tom watches baby...

At $200,000 a sonogram is an expensive item to buy for most people. But as we all know Tom Cruise isn't most people, so he has gone and purchased one so he can watch HIS baby... i mean his and Katie's baby. *manical laughter*

During an upcoming interview with Barbara Walters she asks him what does he see and of course he simply answers "A baby"... *evil chortle* or is it something much more... *big grin*

I'm sure they cut out the part of the interview when Walters starts asking if he can see any kind of markings or strange growths on the fetus... Did Tom get the machine just so they don't have to goto the hospital where any intern or specialist could see what really is growing inside of poor young Katie?

Did I mention there is a new version of the Omen being release next year.... *manical laughter*

OZARK'S NOT QUOTE TOP 250 MOVIES III

CINEMA OF THE BIZARRE (or WTF!!!!!):

Every once in a while there comes a movie which leaves you with your mouth agape and the feeling of was I not supposed to understand WTF just happened, hold on I'll watch it again. Top 250 case in point would be something like Mulholland Drive. It takes a writer/director like Lynch to suck in the audience into his insanity, there is meaning and plot hidden there in his twisted hints. Movies that missed out on 250 status:

Donnie Darko (2001) - Time-travel and premonitions of impeding doom trouble young Jake Gyllenhaal
eXistenZ (1999) - Cronenberg's virtual reality sci-fi throws it's stars Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh around inside a mind altering video game.
Lost Highway (1997) - Another Lynchian masterpiece which has Bill Pullman questioning what is real or not in his own life as he receives a mysterious blank videotape and becomes the suspect in his wife's murder.

But it isn't just the mind-benders that this category can cover it also takes in films like Six String Samurai. A movie just born out of bizarre notion, an alternate reality, a comic book brought to life. Here are a few films that tend to break the mold and try something different:

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) - Elvis is alive, and living in an old people's rest home along with a black man who believes he is JFK. Together they must stop an ancient mummy from killing all the residents of the home.
Miracle Mile (1988) - Outside a city cafe around midnight Anthony Edwards receives a call on a pay phone that claims that a nuclear strike will hit the US in less than 90 minutes, does he choose to believe it or not?
Streets of Fire (1984) - Walter Hill's rock and roll fable has a gang kidnapping a rock singer and the only guy who can save her is her ex-boyfriend.

TV - What were they thinking?

ABC has cancelled Alias.. now I don't watch this show, but I have always wanted to go rent the DVDs and watch from the start.

What really upsets me is that last season Alias had it's biggest audience yet when it followed on from Lost and then the new season came round and ABC in all their wisdom move it to Thursday night up against Survivor (still one of the top 10 shows on TV) which in essence has turned out to be show suicide. It seems ABC have just killed off a perfectly good show... if it had been left in the post-LOST slot I don't see how it could have been cancelled.

Shame. Shame.

Also CBS announced they are cancelling Sci-fi show Threshold.. good thing I didn't end up watching that one and getting into it.
