Ken Lay: The Smartest Guy In The Morgue

Conspiracy theorists unite and get a load of this: Kenneth Lay, founder of Enron, defrauder of the company’s investors and employees, and “star” of the documentary “Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room,” died suddenly of a heart attack this morning, just a few months before getting his just desserts and being sentenced to a prison term that almost surely would’ve lasted the rest of his life…if, of course, it hadn’t ended a few hours ago.

Is it a coincidence? Did someone help him on his way…? Or did he help himself…?!?

Count on someone writing a book, doing a documentary, or, at the very least, writing a rambling, non-spellchecked pamphlet on the matter in the very near future.

TV (No-)Shows On DVD

As you already well know if you’ve stepped into a DVD retailer recently, the “Television” section of such stores has been growing by leaps and bounds. To look at the sprawling rows of full-season sets, you might think that there couldn’t possibly be any TV series that hasn’t yet made it to DVD…but, dude, seriously, if you really think that, you’re a naïve fool. (Sorry, nothing personal.) While it’s one thing for a show to be cancelled after less than a season and then simply vanish into the mists of time – although more and more networks are trying to cut their losses by marketing “complete series” sets of such series – how about a show that lasted, say, 10 years? Anything that popular is surely available, right? Wrong, pally. Bullz-Eye has compiled a list of our top 15 shows that remain unavailable on DVD but ought to be, as well as a few additions that we’d like to see come out…even if we aren’t exactly holding our breath.

Check out the list here.

And, hey, what shows are you still waiting to see on DVD? Leave your comments below and let us know!

Python fans in the US, prepare to weep

Sony has, for no discernable reason, cancelled the August 1st reissue of “A Fish Called Wanda” in a special edition 2-disc set…and by “cancelled,” I mean it’s totally off the schedule now, with no revised date provided.

I know this will particularly annoy one Mike Wazowski, as he was slated to review it…but it also means another thing to remove from my birthday list.

How long must America be forced to deal with the crappy, virtually-featureless single disc version of the film…?

It’s official: the second season of “Rock Star” will suck.

Okay, maybe it won’t the suckiest piece of suck that ever sucked, but this story leads me to suspect otherwise.

Instead of finding a band whose lead singer has died or even left the building with no intentions of returning, the big brains at CBS have created a band. It consists of…

Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) on drums.
Jason Newsted (Metallica) on bass.
Gilby Clarke (Guns ‘N’ Roses) on guitar.

I’m not saying that this trio of metal legends don’t rock hard individually. They might even rock hard individually. But this can only lead to the contestants vying to win the honor of fronting the band – called Supernova, by the way – performing really, really shitty covers of hard rock songs…and I just don’t have the stomach for that.

Unfortunately, I have this horrible feeling that middle America does…and that’s the unkindest cut of all.

If you miss the days when Isaac Hayes was the most awesome man alive…

…and, to be fair, he’s still not far from the top of the list, even if things got tainted a bit over his departure from “South Park”…you’ll want to check out the recently-released second season of “The Rockford Files.”

Hayes appears in an episode entitled “Hammer of C Block,” playing Rockford’s former prison pal, Gandolph “Gandy” Fitch. Gandy’s just gotten out of the joint after a 20-year stint, and he’s on the lookout for the person who was really responsible for the crime that got him locked away. (Although Hayes was decidedly younger than the character he was playing at the time, his always-shaven head lent him an older look, so all they really had to do was sprinkle some grey in his beard and voila!) Was he really innocent…? Well, you’ll have to watch the episode, won’t you? And trust me, you want to. It’s a really impressive dramatic, emotional performance from Hayes, one that will remind you that, although he’s best known for his comedic appearances these days, he’s actually a pretty good actor, too.
