Versus: Guts and Legends of the Hidden Temple
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. In hindsight everything is clearer, except for probably things you revered as a child but haven't revisited recently. Growing up, Nickelodeon was a powerhouse of a television channel with cartoons like Doug, Hey Arnold!, and Rocket Power. It also had many great live game shows as well.
Legends of the Hidden Temple and Guts were two physical game shows they had, complete with obstacle courses and awesome prizes like Nintendos and trips to Space Camp. If you were a kid with even a small interest in athletics, these shows were what you wanted to be on, especially because you always felt you could do way better than the foolishly inept contestants that sometimes were featured. My question is which was better, both as a show and as a contestant.

Catching Up on Christmas Movies: Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
On Christmas Day The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was released nationwide, and despite being a best-selling book, the hard R movie finished 4th at the box office behind the Chipmunks (really America?), Sherlock Holmes 2, and the fantastic Mission Impossible 4. This movie has a lot going for it, with David Fincher (The Social Network) directing, Steve Zaillian an Oscar winner for Schindler's List, and starring Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace) among others. The first trailer is among the best in recent memory, and it's opening credits are even more impressive. So did the movie live up to the expectations created by the book, production crew, and early visuals?

Pop Up Video
This weekend, or some morning, it's hard to remember anymore, I was flipping through tv channels looking for something to watch. This fact alone makes me think it was the weekend. If I can't find something to watch on tv, and the internet isn't an option, it's only because I've exhausted it, and I only exhaust the internet on the weekend.
