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.

Rapid Fire Rejects, Volume VII

Tactics, Volume 1
Imitation may no longer be the sincerest form of flattery. Like most animes, “Tactics” feels all too familiar, and there’s nothing particularly special about the series that separates it from the numerous others imported for American audiences each year. Sure, it’s got a character who hunts demons, but so does “Inu Yasha.” It’s also got cutesy female characters that hang around the male protagonist like butter on bread, but the “Tenchi Muyo” franchise does it better. In fact, there’s not a single unique thing about “Tactics,” except maybe its offhand impersonation of good animes.

Puppets Who Kill: Season Two
Let’s get a few things straight:

1) Canadians aren’t funny.
2) This series is neither controversial nor “the nastiest show around.”
3) Don’t ever compare a show like this to “South Park” again. NEVER.

This is America, Charlie Brown
I’ve never been a fan of Charlie Brown and his light-humored antics, but having seen other Peanuts specials in the past, I decided to grit my teeth and check this out. Unfortunately, the two-disc set is more like an animated book report than an actual cartoon, and while it’s an excellent learning tool for children in grade school, this is far from being a must-buy for fans of Schultz’s work.

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…?

Reason #1,632 why I love Sam Raimi

You could wait for “Superman Returns” to see the new teaser trailer for the third Spider-Man flick, but if you consider yourself a true fanboy, be sure to hop on over to Apple.com and check out the advanced screener RIGHT NOW. Here’s a few things you’ll see:

1) Tobey Maguire rockin’ the all-new black Spidey suit
2) Proof that the suit is indeed controlled by the infamous alien symbiote (Venom baby!)
3) Thomas Hayden Church (as the Sandman) in all his CGI goodness

And last, but certainly not least…

4) James Franco as the new Green Goblin

Unfortunately, no shots of Venom were revealed (except a quick shot of Topher Grace as Eddie Brock), but do you seriously expect Sony to release any shots of one of the most famous comic book villains a whole YEAR before the film is released? I didn’t think so. Anyways, check it out now at http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/spider-man_3/ and then stop back here to post your thoughts.
