good doc...although it was padded a bit...most likely due to the fact that bartman still refuses to be interviewed
in fact, although he has been offered hundreds of thousands of dollar to do appearances and endorsements....he wont
but the guy who ended up catching that ball (its crazy eye guy in the vid) made 100k selling it
and wil, you are right...it wasnt bartman's fault....
if you watch the vid he was reacting to everyone around him
that section never looks down to see alou (amazingly) racing to try and catch the ball
it was the wind that blew it back onto the field of play
the ump shouldve called an immediate out due to fan interference....bad call by ump
after the game...doofus (that is what i, a giants fan, lovingly call the guy who blew a ws and an lcs) threw bartman under the bus
doofus was and is known for his mismanagement of both starters and pen arms
did both to the giants and cubbies...
what is great in the doc, is the media excusing themselves for destroying bartman
the film maker compares it to what they did to buckner in 86
poor buck....the hate shouldve gone against bob the steamer stanley...who threw a wild pitch to tie the game (man had the greatest sinker, but sometimes even he didnt know where it was going)
so steamer gets a pass (and a long career as a pitching coach) and buck gets treated like crap till the sox finally win a ws
life is shit
From the Vault: An Open Letter to That Guy
ESPN is running a wonderful and heartbreaking documentary called Catching Hell, about Steve Bartman and the Chicago Cubs in 2003. If you don't have any idea what that means, you can skip this post. For the rest of you, here's a repost of something I wrote to him back then, when he was Public Ene...
in independence day, the virus that saves the world...written on a mac
it was jobs who changed viewing habits for the super bowl
however, its important to note that his partner, the woz...is very much alive and doing well
sometimes its ok to just stop and smell the roses

in voyage home, mr scott puts the formula for transparent aluminum on a mac...after first trying to talk through its mouse
i love that scene

they can get up to a year in prison
they probably wont
however, a rep from msu was on npr right after the verdict and said that they would do the same actions again if oren or another israeli rep came to campus
so the judge should throw the book at them...and their attys
Huge Infidel Victory: UC Muslim Students Found Guilty On All Counts of Disrupting Meeting and Shutting Down Free Speech
Justice was served today in a California courtroom. A six-man, six-woman jury found members of the Muslim Brotherhood group, the Muslim Student Union, guilty on all counts of misdemeanor disturbing a public meeting and conspiracy in connection with the Feb. 8, 2010. They deliberately broke th...
i hear that spiner shot an epi...hope you guys are in the same one (guess not, cuz you wouldve posted a pic)
also spiner got a guest shot on alphas...and was brilliant
im hoping that show contacts you for next season
So... this is happening.
I spent a lot of time at Warner Brothers last week. While I was there, I saw my friend Kaley, and we took a silly picture: Then I remembered that I'm Evil, so we took another picture: And if you haven't solved the puzzle by now, this is why I was there: Check out how I totally play thi...
personally, i thought the number one reference was more going for the og st, where the first number one was a strong, female...which the suits couldnt handle, so they forced gene to morph her into nurse chapel
gene got the number one back in tng...but still, it had to be a guy
oh. and did anyone catch the offhanded line out of star wars? "lets blow these mites and go home" or something like that
im digging parish...mr wheaton has great comic timing
as for the cancellation of the show, i think it has been made pretty clear that, while it makes money...it doesnt make enough for comcast's liking
its sad when the bottom line is not enough
i really hope that all the actors get gigs on other quality shows
kinda bums me out that so many from shows like the sopranos, the wire, etc...never seem to get offered other great gigs
Eureka: Of Mites and Men
In every rehearsal, when Parrish stands up to triumphantly announce that he's completed his 100 cranes, I did it in my best* Homer Simpson voice, like when he tries to fake out Apu with the lottery scratcher: "WOOO HOOO! ONE HUNDRED CRANES, BABY!" This episode was more fun to film than I thought...

wow
seems the show was making money...but not enough for comcast
the future of entertainment on the small screen, does not seem bright
Saying goodbye to Eureka
Last year, my friend Amy told me she was moving from writing Leverage to writing Eureka. She asked me if I was interested in playing a scientist who was kind of a jerk. I said "yes" as fast as I could, and ended up playing Doctor Isaac Parrish for seven of the ten episodes in season 4.5. When se...
i think it is on syfy in australia...but if you cant get that, do a google search for streaming sites that carry it

wil,
i just heard...eureka has been canceled
i am bummed
something is seriously wrong with amc and scifi
they allow for the creation of quality programming...then cut off their noses to spite their faces
btw...the scene when you are crying about your dad hating you....gets me every time
I was twelve going on thirteen when I made the movie that changed my life
Twenty-five years ago today, on my future wife's 17th birthday, a movie I did called Stand By Me was released. I didn't know it at the time, but it would define my childhood and change my life. Here are a few things I wanted to share, to mark the occasion. I talked to NPR last week about Stand B...
your chemistry with ms day is amazing
i really hope they expand on your character from the 2 dimensional ahole he currently is
Eureka: Up In The Air
Last night's episode of Eureka, Up In The Air, has my favorite moment of the entire season in it. I don't think it played as clearly in the edit as it read in the script, but it's when Carter gets so incredibly excited for a traditional bank robbery investigation, and then finds out from Andy th...
one thing i am curious about
why is this a continuation of season 4, as it has a totally different overall arc?
the other thing im curious about is how the security system at gd is incapable of detecting a foreign implant in the hawt doctor
EUREKA: Glimpse
Last night's Eureka, Glimpse, was my first episode as a non-enraged-by-the-enraginator-device Doctor Parrish. I had completely forgotten about Fargo's commercial for the Astraeus project at the top of the show; when I saw that, the excitement of shooting the entire season came flooding back to m...
i may be the only one who is tired of the lee cameos
interesting to note...it was kirby, not lee, who got a cameo in the original hulk tv series as a police artist...guess at the time, lee thought cameos were beneath him
good epi
you were good, the banana slugs were good, and yes, ms day is absolutely adorable...although she seems to be channeling alison hannigan for this role

you were great tonite on eureka...no one plays arrogant better than wheaton
now onto the panel...thanks for moderating
if you cut me, i will bleed
Pretty much all of Comicon was awesome. However, there was one thing that was decidedly not awesome, and though I had initially decided not to talk about it in public, it's bothered me since it happened, so I wrote about it on G+ earlier today. I'm cross posting it here, though, because it's imp...
watch the panel on yotube and read the comments...he is generally hated
made bad forced jokes
being a geek is about having a great community
In a couple hours, I'm heading down to San Diego for the craziest, most exhausting, most awesome four days of the year: Comicon. Earlier this morning, Felicia and I were Google Plussing about how to survive the con. I'm assuming some of you are not among the eleventy billion people who have the ...

comic con is both the biggest and the longest running
i started going when it was already big (about 30k for the weekend) but still small enough for one to truly enjoy the experience
dont see how its enjoyable standing in line for 4 hours to get into a panel
dont see how its enjoyable not being able to spend a few minutes with one's fav creators...getting only a few moments to say hi
i attended the con for just a few things...to walk the floor and see creators i spent the year reading...to go to the kirby and golden age panels...and to check out collectable comics that i would never be able to afford
best time i ever had at the con was spending a full hour chatting with neal adams about how he and o'neil got around the censors and the comic code, when they made green lantern/green arrow...and then listening as the discussion turned to quantum physics and his theory of how the world was created....cant do this anymore

if the times is correct, this would be a good thing for the con...in a sense
sure, the extra money helped, but the con lost what made it special...and crowds were growing without the hollywood takeover
but i have a feeling that once the convention center size increases, so that instead of one hall h, there are 3 or 4 megahalls and the size of the con attendance can expand to 200k...hollywood will return with a vengeance

havent gone to the con since 02
miss the days when one could just hang out and chat with creators
my first con was in 89...it was like mecca

really wish they would start livestreaming panels...for those who cant, and wont go

go rewatch hard knocks...the story of a bunch of guys, who, if they werent playing footbal...would be doing hard time in san quentin
MLB's 'The Franchise' as Boring as a 10-1 Rout
Showtime premiered "The Franchise: A Season With the San Francisco Giants" on Wednesday night. After nearly falling asleep during the hour, all I can say is, "When's 'Dexter' coming back?" Lord knows the Giants have some colorful players and have been involved in some interesting storylines th...
you were very funny on wits....are you going to be taking part in the big bang panel at the con?
the value of a quarter
Last week, I took my car to one of those car washes at the gas station. When I was waiting to pull in, I saw that for the low low price of one dollar more, I could upgrade my wash options from four useless things to seven useless things. Obviously, I reached into my change box (some of you may k...
huh?
he didnt recognize you?
im sorry...except for the beard and a few pounds...you look exactly the same
has it really been 25 years?
frack...im old
Though I hadn't seen him in over twenty years, I knew I'd miss him forever
I stood in the lobby of the Falcon Theater in Toluca Lake, and looked at Twitter while I waited for the rest of the guys to arrive. The walls were covered with posters from productions like CHiPs: The Musical and It's A Stevie Wonderful Life. Being in a theater during the day, when it's just a b...
i was totally shocked.
first off, he was out and about pimping the release of all star superman...and from vids posted on youtube, he looked great.
been following him since the milestone days
great writer and an all around great guy.
very few people in the biz who no one has a bad thing to say about
people younger than me should not be dying.
i kept hoping that warners would put he and timm in charge of of the projects slated for movies
the batman animated series and jlu, were so far superior to any of the live action stuff.
in remembrance of Dwayne McDuffie
Last night, I met my friend Amy Berg (who created Cha0s on Leverage, and brought me into Eureka as Dr. Parrish) down in Hollywood for dinner. Traffic was horrible (surprise) so she'd been waiting almost 20 minutes when I finally walked into the restaurant. While I scanned the crowd to find her,...
wil,
your jar jar was spot on
and when are you and mayim gonna have a scene together?
quick ot....on dec 1, psych is doing their tribute to the 20th anniversary of twin peaks
im still waiting for that show to sign wil on as a guest villain
hey, is there anything good on tv tonight?
Hey, did I mention that I'm on The Big Bang Theory tonight? I didn't? That's weird. I could have sworn that I did. Well, allow me to just put this gentle reminder out there: Evil Wil Wheaton returns in "The 21-Second Excitation" at 8pm on CBS. And now, another hopefully amusing video, to help yo...
just read on mayim biyalik's fb that you two have no scenes together...but that you were wearing the same dr who shirt her hubby has

We filmed until 330 this morning, and when I finally got home a little after 4am, it was all I could do to convince myself to wash off my makeup and go to sleep. I woke up at 1230 this afternoon in the same position I fell asleep, and I probably could have easily slept another 3 hours or more. W...

FLASHBACK! True Stories From Famous People
When I was a dorky teenager, I was sort of thrust into the spotlight by Stand By Me and Star Trek. I've written before about how weird the whole thing was, and how uncomfortable a lot of the attention made me, but it wasn't all bad; I got to do some cool things, and meet some cool people as a re...
