So long, farewell, it was really nice to know ya

So this is it for me, my last post on Mad Mad Media. Why am I leaving this behind? Honestly, when I started this two years ago, I had a lot to talk about. After two years, I pretty much ran out of things to say.
I have had fun blogging about entertainment things from my perspective here in Wisconsin, and I will still produce the Mad Mad Media Minute (which can be seen every Tuesday and Thursday on www.sheboyganpress.com), but I just can’t write about this stuff anymore.
Sure, American Idol is fun and all, but really, is it worth writing about for two years? Nope. How about international copyright law and how it is affected by global commerce? Yeah, that’s cool, but I don’t want to do that every day.
My interests have changed, my time availability has changed and this blog doesn’t suit me anymore. I’m sure I will do this again, probably on www.sheboyganpress.com, but for now I need a blog-hiatus.
So, thank you to everyone who has every checked out the Mad Mad Media blog. I invite you to click the link at the top of the screen and check out the rest of this crazy blogiverse.
So long, farewell, it was fun while it lasted.

Mad Mad Media is testing Hulu.com

The date is really Feb. 5 and Mad Mad Media has been chosen to be one of the early beta testers of Hulu.com, the new video service offered by Fox and NBC-Universal. So, for the next week I will be blogging about my thoughts on Hulu.

Hulu – Day One, Feb. 5, 2008

It didn’t take long to realize how hulu.com will break away from the YouTube-esque pack – the video quality.
Now, with most Web video (including ours at the press) the video quality leaves something to be desired. Many times on YouTube, the picture is blurry or pixilated, the sound is muffled, and you can watch for only a couple of minutes before the crummy quality really starts to get to you.Hulu is starting off setting the bar really high. The picture and sound quality is out of this world. Episodes of The Office and Terminator are a crystal clear as you could get on any broadcast television, with no delay in delivery or video pausing.

Want to take a look? I know you do. Here's a sample from Hulu.com.

PC and Mac, you have met your match

Cloverfield: Freaking awesome!

I got a comment the other day that someone was looking for my review of Cloverfield, the hit J.J. Abrams film that opened nationwide (except in several Wisconsin theatres) on Friday.
Well, instead of writing my review, I reviewed Cloverfield on the latest episode of the Mad Mad Media Minute.
Click Here to check it out.
Now, if you don't feel like watching the show I can tell you this about Cloverfield. My wife and I had to drive to Milwaukee (130 miles round trip) to see this film, and it was worth the trip. Cloverfield is one of the most effective and mind-blowing sci-fi suspense films I have ever seen. My wife said it was kind of like Blair Witch meets Godzilla (she enjoyed it). I think it's probably one of the best monster movies I have ever seen, including Every godzilla, every horror film, even better than the Korean-made The Host.
It's just awesome!

Yeah, this guy's parents are going to be mad!

Hillary Clinton Vs. Tracy Flick

This is so awesome!

Best News Ever- Dead Like Me is coming back!!!!!!

My favorite show of all time, Dead Like Me, is coming back. According to IMDb and Dead Like Me Online, the show — which stars Ellen Muth as a teenage Grim Reaper — is currently being brought back as a Dead Like Me movie. According to IMDb filming has already begun. And, according to Muth’s MySpace page, if the movie does well, the show could make a comeback (much like Family Guy).
Of course, since I had given up on the show, I haven’t really been keeping track of Dead Like Me news. So while I’m suddenly aware of this amazing development, it is probably old news for many of you.
But I’m excited nonetheless. What a great way to end the year!!!!

Oh, and I got an iPhone. More about that later.
