If you’re wondering what to get me for Christmas, then wonder no more. Pictured above is an Admiral James T. Kirk action figure commemorating that epic moment in Star Trek 2 when he shares how he really feels about Khan.

Netflix on Tivo
Trust me. It's glorious.
My Tivo got the service update that enabled Netflix streaming. I reactivated my Netflix account, enabled it on my Tivo, and was streaming content in about 3 minutes. The quality is excellent and the interface is great–you simply add a “Watch Instantly” flick to your “Watch Instantly Queue” (separate from your normal DVD queue) and it becomes available immediately on your Tivo to watch.
My only two qualms are the small selection (which will grow in time) and no option to have japanese w/english subtitles for anime series (we’re stuck with english dubs).
I foresee cutting cable soon (after BSG is over).

Star Trek Trailer
Okay, I’m officially excited about this movie now. Admittedly, to me, the only thing “Star Trek” about it is the ship and the pointy ears, but maybe that’s a good thing? 
Ooo, I just felt a disturbance in the Force. It felt as if a few hundred cried out in anger at my comment.

Give Your AppleTV a Power Boost
AppleTV with Hulu and more!
Angelo recently made the leap and updated the firmware on his AppleTV with open-source awesomeness, Boxee. Among the plethora of options Boxee has, Hulu streaming is the kicker for me. With Netflix streaming in the works, I may just invest in this project as my all-in-one entertainment center.

The New Enterprise
JJ Abrams is aiming to reboot the much-beloved franchise. Above is a picture of the reimagined Enterprise. Is this good or bad? What say you?

San Diego Comic Con 2008
This is my first foray into the San Diego Comic Con. I really didn’t know what to expect except for the size of the convention itself. Even having that in mind, I was still floored by the immensity of the attendance. People from all over the world, from all walks of life came here to share in their passion for the “contemporary creative arts.”
I was so overwhelmed by everything I didn’t take as many photos as I thought I would. Also, it got so packed I couldn’t even stop to take a photo. Most of these photos were taken “in passing” and as such, came out fairly blurry.
Oh well, I’ll know what to expect next year.
I took the time to annotate most of the photos, so enjoy!

The Dark Knight
I’m surprised that I can’t find a post on MCOJ about this movie. I’ll admit to not having seen the last batman film. I think I gave up on them due to Val Kilmer or George Clooney. Take your pick. In any event, through some work connections my dad got to see The Dark Knight last night.
He said it was fantastic and not at all like the old style that came across as hokey. Very good, very dark and apparently the Joker is extraordinarily creepy and sinister. I may actually have to plunk down the 8 bucks for this one.

George Lucas in Love
Nice little short film satirizing the creative influences behind the creation of Star Wars.
Nice find, Reese!
