Right now, I can’t wait for the next episode of Venture Brothers. On the longer scale, I’m on fire waiting for the next season of Battlestar Galactica. Usually, I just maintain calm and get on with my life. But sometimes it just feels like it will NEVER arrive. Damn. What are you on tenterhooks for? ---

I am eagerly anticipating some new _Futurama_, in any form. The last I heard, the project to produce new episodes was going full steam ahead, with all the voice talent signed on. I sure hope this doesn’t go kaput. I want to be able to say “Good news, everyone!” when the new eps are finally ready. ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] The Departed. [/QUOTE] Yup. I don’t usually get excited when I see movie commercials, but I was pretty stoked to see this one. I really hope Nicholson doesn’t ruin it with his schtick. He can be good when he wants to, but hoo boy when he doesn’t… ---

I might be leaving work early on October 6th. It’s not just Scorcese and gangster movies; it’s a remake of the very cool Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. If you haven’t seen it, don’t see it until you see The Departed. I also like Di Caprio, Nicholson, and Matt Damon. It’s got Martin Sheen in it, Alec Baldwin. ---

M. Night Shyamalan’s _The Life of Pi_, God help me. I know it’s bound to be disappointing – maybe even infuriating, but I still can’t wait. ---
