I've been messing a little bit with the
OnLive Game System, and while I haven't actually connected it to the TV yet, I have to give props to OnLive for putting together a great package. Most game systems these days (Xbox 360 comes to mind) do not include a variety of cables that you need to hook it up, whereas OnLive adds everything into the bundle: cat5 cable, spiffy controller, and even the HDMI connector. I did check out the service through the PC, and it's quite impressive to be able to select a title and be playing it within 5 seconds without a download or lengthy installation process.
Just noticed this new Spielberg series
Falling Skies, starring
Dale Dye,
Moon Bloodgood, and
Noah Wyle. It looks quite interesting, even though it made me think of The Walking Dead right away. It premieres on TNT this June (two-hour premiere on Sunday, June 19 at 9/8c), so I guess we know what to add to the DVR when it starts.

We saw
Sucker Punch yesterday, and it was quite good. Everybody in our party liked it — some more than others — but all were in agreement that it was good. For some reason, the sound was turned WAY up, so it was overwhelming when the music was playing during the awesome fight sequences. The story itself,
Zack Snyder's first original script, was a bit flimsy with some head-scratchers here and there, but the action and stylish filming made up for that.
We did all our errands yesterday, so we have nothing planned but brunch with some friends and working on the DVR backlog. Sweet!
