In case you were wondering.

This looks promising for video conferencing (or camming with your pants off). Its called SightSpeed. A cross platform video conf’ app. From the initial looks of it, it seems pretty good. As far as I know, Yahoo IM was the only other video IM app that worked on both Mac and PC..however the quality was total crap. This looks pretty good. I’d encourage folks to go try it out.

If you thought you heard a ruckus, well..it was probably Paul Gleason gettin the bull…oh, and dying.

BURBANK, Calif. - Paul Gleason, who was in “Trading Places” and “The Breakfast Club,” has died. He was 67.
Gleason died at a local hospital Saturday of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, said his wife, Susan Gleason.

So…’member how good the Dukes of Hazzard movie was? ugh..

First, former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari was linked with Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband – and now she’s being eyed for Simpson’s movie role.

Bill Gerber, the producer of last year’s The Dukes of Hazzard, tells PEOPLE in its new issue that he is working on a prequel to the movie that brought Simpson (and her rear view) film fame – and he thinks Cavallari, 19, would fill out those Daisy Duke shorts quite nicely.

“She’s at the top of the list,” he says. “I like her innocence and her beauty.”

Why not just stick with Simpson, 25? “It’s a prequel, like Batman (Begins),” he says. “We’re going for a whole new cast.”

Well..just got back from X-Men 3. All I’m gonna say is, its another case of a good thing that ended too soon. And there’s nothing worse than when a movie or show comes to an end too soon, than when its clearly obvious in the show. X1 and X2 were setting us up for a lifetime of great Xmen movies. Then someone decided “eh..3’s good” and it all came to a screeching, shitty halt in X3. What a let-down.

This may not be one of the wackier clips you’ll find here, but its worth a watch. Life was better with Mr Rogers.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

holy. shit.

After five seasons, tonight we say adios to Sidney and Vaughn. (No, not that Sidney, and not that Vaughn.) Admittedly I kinda stopped watching midway thru the 4th season, and didn’t even realize it was still on the air until a few weeks ago. Thanks to ABC.com I managed to get caught up on this season, and it wasn’t all that bad. I might actually miss the show at this point. I was skeptical about the pregnant spy thing, but they were smart, and introduced a new hot chick (Rachel Nichols) and some other stud (Balthazar Getty), who turned out to be rather likable. In fact, I’d almost rather watch them than boring ol’ Sid and Vaughn. Maybe they’ll get their own spin-off called “AKA” or something. Probably not. Anyhow…if you’re into ALIAS, tune in tonight for the two hour series finale.

How much you wanna bet this guy “disappears?”

Here come the rave reviews!

“A jumbled, joyless affair that neither entertains nor enlightens.”
– Shawn Adler, IGN FILMFORCE

“Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman struggle mightily to cram as much as possible of Dan Brown’s labyrinthine thriller into a 2-hour-28-minute running time, resulting in a movie both overstuffed and underwhelming.”
– David Ansen, NEWSWEEK

“The movie is so nervous about offending anyone that it’s hardly any fun.”
– Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

“Absent is the pure guilty joy of sequential puzzle-solving; instead of participating in the hunt, we’re shoved off to the side as a couple of crashing boors do it for us.”
– Amy Biancolli, HOUSTON CHRONICLE

“… it’s not very good — long (2hr.32min.) and mostly inert.”
– Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE

“Ron Howard’s adaptation of Dan Brown’s bestseller is punishingly long, dramatically overwrought and fatally short on the thrills we demand from summertime blockbusters.”
– Colin Covert, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

“On film, The Da Vinci Code is not so much a fascinating puzzle as a prolonged slog through material that resists the screen.”
– Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

“Like a two-bit philosopher working the wrong side of the stone, Howard has managed to turn gold into lead.”
– Rick Groen, GLOBE AND MAIL

“A jumble of historical myth, religious symbology and international thriller-action makes for an unwieldy, bloated melodrama.”
– Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“The most controversial thriller of the year turns out to be about as exciting as watching your parents play Sudoku.”
– Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

“In a marketplace rife with guides for idiots, dummies and the rest of us, this movie stands as the novel’s priciest CliffsNotes.”
– Lisa Kennedy, DENVER POST

“The truth is that The Da Vinci Code is a pretty-good-but-who-cares effort, a moderately interesting diversion that will hold audiences in the moment but leave them unmoved and unchanged.”
– Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

“These offerings by Howard and Goldsman are not enough to turn a page-turner into something that survives and transcends a media phenomenon, in the way of such bad novels as The Godfather and Jaws.”
– Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS

“Here’s the gospel on The Da Vinci Code: It’s a total snore.”
– Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS

“An oppressively talky film that isn’t exactly dull, but comes as close to it as one could imagine with such provocative material.”
– Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

“If there’s a flavor to describe director Ron Howard’s all-too-faithful adaptation, it’s vanilla.”
– Bill Muller, ARIZONA REPUBLIC

“The movie is woefully plotted and just flat-out, eye-crossingly dull.”
– Phoebe Flowers, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL

“… it’s a thriller with a lot of explaining to do, which it does, endlessly, while we wait for an actual movie to break out.”
– Bruce Newman, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

“The Da Vinci Code the movie suffers the sin of being afraid to make the same kind of mischief with its sacred text — Brown’s book — that the author did with a certain other blockbusting bestseller.”
– Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR

“How can a film contain so many clues yet remain utterly clueless?”
– Michael Phillips, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“… a melodramatic, sometimes lifeless film that is missing the suspense of the popular novel.”
– Claudia Puig, USA TODAY

“… The Da Vinci Code may be controversial and even heretical — but worse, still, it’s plodding, tedious, deathly dull.”
– Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

“… Mr. Howard and Mr. Goldsman handle the supposedly provocative material in Mr. Brown’s book with kid gloves, settling on an utterly safe set of conclusions about faith and its history, presented with the usual dull sententiousness.”
– A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

“All of the actors seem to be on overacting pills save for Hanks, who may yet rue the day he ever stepped off that giant piano and into big, self-important blimps like this.”
– Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY

“There’s no code to decipher. Da Vinci is a dud — a dreary, droning, dull-witted adaptation of Dan Brown’s religioso detective story …”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

“… competent if only occasionally thrilling.”
– Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Rather than being intriguingly provocative, the whole thing comes off as just a rather clumsy provocation.”
– Stephen Whitty, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER

“The Da Vinci Code is exactly the sort of pot-boiling movie the readable but preposterous (and poorly written ) novel deserves.”
– Philip Martin, ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE

“Only McKellen divines that The Da Vinci Code is supposed to be fun, and his performance becomes an inside joke that leaves McKellen with a smile as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa’s.”
– Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

“Ron Howard doesn’t so much solve The Da Vinci Code as preserve it under glass. It’s a bloodless best-seller adaptation, competent but uninspiring, rather like the vast bulk of Howard’s long filmography.”
– Roger Moore, ORLANDO SENTINEL

“You know a movie’s a dud when even its self-flagellating albino killer monk isn’t any fun. ”
– John Beifuss, COMMERCIAL APPEAL (MEMPHIS, TN)

“… a jigsaw puzzle [that] turns out to be a lot less fun than you hoped it would be when you started piecing it together.”
– Carol Cling, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

“Every time Langdon starts to educate Sophie, the urge to tune out is overwhelming.”
– Josh Bell, LAS VEGAS WEEKLY

“”The Da Vinci Code” is essentially just another average Hollywood thriller. Nothing more.”
– Angela Baldassarre, SYMPATICO.CA

“The script explains everything twice, spelling out the big words three times, so that even if you’ve never heard of Jesus or Mary Magdalene you can still figure out this story.”
– Jeffrey M. Anderson, COMBUSTIBLE CELLULOID

“For people who insist that the movie is never as good as the book, your case just got stronger.”
– Matt Pais, METROMIX.COM

You get the idea. If you’re still not sure, here’s some more!

The Daily Irrelevant has the answer!
