I wish, I wish
This, in all likelihood, will be my final entry until we return from the holiday break on Tuesday. In my absence, head over here. There’s always something funny on that site. If you don’t believe me, just type “funny� into the site’s search engine and see what pops up.
Here now, I offer my entertainment holiday wish list. I’ve been good, so I expect all of these dreams to come true. My wishes:
* More high-definition channels. Come on Comcast, DirectTV and TV networks! Let’s make this happen. I want all seven HBO’s in HD. I want Encore and FX in HD. I want the NFL Network in HD (this is already available in HD, but Comcast refuses to add it). I’d also like Comcast to add high-definition pay-per-view. When I order a $50 boxing match, I want to see it in high-def.
* A Chevy Chase comeback. Where is he? Guest spots on “ER?� He’s hilarious in “Christmas Vacation� and I refuse to believe the man is no longer funny. I know the talk show failed, but come on, John Travolta made a comeback in “Pulp Fiction.� Someone light a fire under Chase and get him some work.
* More movies like “Little Miss Sunshine.� If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go rent it.
* Fewer movies from M. Night Shyamalan, Again, if you don’t know what I’m talking about go rent “Lady in the Water.� Oh, wait, don’t do that. Just take my word for it.
* More episodes of “The Office,� “Heroes,� “24,� “Prison Break,� and “Ugly Betty.�
* A break from tabloid magazines. I’m not Brad, Angelina, Jennifer, Jessica, Lindsay, Paris or Britney, but I feel I’m somewhat equally annoyed by those magazines’ antics. They make the media look bad. We’re not all nosey jerks.
* A Nintendo Wii. After I reviewed the console, I had to give it back. Now I want one, but can’t find it anywhere. I’m told there will be plenty of them after the New Year.
* A point guard and center. The Celtics need both.
* Pitching. The Red Sox need more in the bullpen.
* More sitcoms and less reality TV. Cancel “Survivor.�
* A new R.E.M. album, which is in the works.
* “Deadwood� back on HBO.
* A really funny and enjoyable Academy Awards broadcast.
* Food. I’m kinda getting hungry right now.
* Another Pearl Jam tour.
Speaking of Pearl Jam, the band’s lead singer, Eddie Vedder, turns 42 tomorrow. How can that be? Wow. Time flies when you're making and listening to great music.
Merry Christmas,
Andy
