It was bound to happen. The election is over, a new year is upon us. And Saturday Night Live has regressed back to its mediocre state. I had hoped that Neil Patrick Harris would have decent material to work with when the first episode of 2009 aired. Umm, not so much. But…I wasn’t entirely feeling hopeless about it. Maybe it was just a holiday hangover. I’m currently watching the latest installment with Rosario Dawson as host, and I’m afraid that old habits die hard. Maybe they should relocate to Canada….at least that way they’d have election material on an ongoing basis.

I remember when I first saw Star Trek II:  The Wrath Of Khan, and I also remember a particular scene that has stuck with me throughout the years. No…it’s not the “Kirk yell.” It was the scene where Chekov and Captain Clark Terrell were ambushed by Khan and his loyal followers.  Khan implants the two unfortunates with eels that enter their ears, enabling him to control their minds. Still freaks me out.

I normally don’t gloat about my predictions …but I’m pretty stoked about this one. If you like Danny Boyle, you’ll really like the fact that he is getting his just due on the awards front at long last. And you’ll also really dig this flick.
