Will Forte’s (aka Abe Lincoln) new movie “MacGruber” did not open up to a decent opening weekend which was different than I expected. Yes, it was going up against Shrek 4, but the talk about MacGruber was growing and it had the best reviews for a comedy ever for a couple weeks leading up to release over on RottenTomatoes.com. Yes, now that it has been released, the reviews have fallen from the previous 100% to down to 50%, but that won’ t stop me from seeing this movie during it’s second week in theaters.

In other news, Sit Down Shut Up was in fact picked up by Comedy Central, as previously mentioned, to help Viacom push back against other late night television blocks for adult viewers. It is currently running Tuesday nights.

When they won’t magically just ask me to run their network block to fight [adult swim], another way for me to help Viacom was me buying the Daria complete series on DVD. There is an insert inside the packaging that mentions, along with many cartoons from that time, that the licensing for music for DVD distribution was not thought ahead for, when signing the artists to contribute. The main theme is there, and that’s all I remember, so watching these again, and many for the first time, doesn’t bother me with the music subbing. When the WB had to do the same for Mission Hill, there were many fan complaints about the quality of the added music and how the DVD’s were built with them, which was terribly. I haven’t noticed an issue with the Daria set yet.

And for some fun, look at this redesigned Spork. I want many.
