Yeah, we had a bit of a server meltdown today, but it looks like the battlestation has been repaired and we back in business. Yee-haw. To be honest, I’ve just been sitting here all day, trying to deal with my laryngitis! Seriously. I would anticipate a lot of audio and pictures tonight, if I were you.
What movies do you want to see?
I want you guys to list below what movies you would like to see on Movie Mondays at the Trocadero. Write down up to three movies. Now, I don’t want your three favorite movies necessarily. Yeah, I love Braveheart, but it’s a little too long for the big screen. I want the three movies that you think would be the most fun to watch at the theatre with a group of people. And feel free to back up what someone else posts, so I know which ones are the most popular. Any movie, any genre, any era is fine.
Silent Hill, Wheel of Terrific Tonight!
Chip Chantry and I will be hosting the thrilling new game show that is taking America by storm, the Wheel of Terrific. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to see and possibly even partcipate in this game. Then, the movie playing is the horror film Silent Hill. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. at the Trocadero (1008 Arch Street).
Question of the Week
What astronomer is credited with discovering Pluto in 1930?
Let’s Put Pluto Back Where It Belongs!
As you might imagine, I am simply outraged by Pluto getting the shaft by so-called scientists. Well, I am not going to take this egregious act lying down, or even laying down. Whatever. I started a petition that we hope to send to the evil liars who perpetrated this fraud! I need your help to make Pluto a planet again! Also, check out the new poll on the right side of the page.
SIGN THE PETITION!!!

JGT To Host Simpsons Quizzo at the Franklin!
I will be helping to close out the animation festival at the Franklin Insitute with a Simpsons quizzo next friday night! I will have plenty more details at the start of next week.
JGT makes passionate plea to the 10! show
Now, as most of you know, the day I co-hosted the 10! show was one of the most memorable in the history of network television. Not because of anything I did, but because of what Bill Henley told Miss America. Well, those heady days of sly sexy innuendo are long gone, replaced by pizza giveaways that are remarkable only because of how awkward they are. In a desperate attempt to save the 10! show from getting away from what made it so freaking wonderful in the first place, I sent the following e-mail this morning. I’ll let you know if I hear anything back.
I saw your Papa John’s pizza giveaway today, and let’s face it, it was one of the longest minutes in the history of television. Therefore, local comedian Chip Chantry and I, co-hosts of the “Wheel of Terrific” game show
on Monday nights at the Trocadero, have decided that we will graciously deliver the next pizza and deliver it with so much freaking excitement it will make your head spin. I look forward to hearing from you concerning this vital matter.
How backwards is this guy?
OK, to me the real shocker isn’t the fact that George Allen uttered a derogatory term (uttering racial slurs doesn’t necessarily hurt your campaign in the mountains of Virginia), the shocker is that he obviously doesn’t know what freaking decade we live in. Had he never heard of YouTube? Does he not know about the Average Homeboy? YouTube can make you a star overnight, Senator Allen. Looks like you had to learn the hard way.
