The Shrine

New Show on NBC starting on Monday (9pm)... I already watched the pilot for free on Unbox and recommend it, especially to this crowd.

How can you resist when the guy works for the "Nerd Herd" in a store called "Pay More"?

Is this that show with the plot ripped off from Johny Mnemonic?

I've never seen Johnny Mnemonic so I can't say... but maybe?

HIDDEN SPOILERS BELOW!!

The show revolves around the supervisor of a parodied Geek Squad who is just your normal geek who probably didn't want to be doing this out of college. An ex friend from college sends him an email one night that turns out to be all of the NSA + CIA's knowledge embedded subliminally in images. His friend was a CIA agent that went rogue and stole this data before blowing up the only computer that had it (sending the email with his dying breath to a random person on his address book).

So in the end he turns out to be a kid who now possesses all the knowledge of our internal and foreign intelligence agencies and now he has to help them "save the world" by drawing from both databases. I'm doing a poor job of summarizing it in an appealing manner, but it is funny and interesting.

I'm sorry but that sounds gayer than I am.......so you know it's at least a little more than half gay

You'll need to subtract about 20-30% gay though due to my poor ability to summarize it effectively and interestingly.

I didn't even know IGN does TV... but their review of Chuck is a lot better than mine:

When I first saw this post I thought this was a review of Good Luck Chuck. I just want to fuck Jessica Alba.

I want to fuck the both of em....doesn't change the fact that the movie was like stabbing yourself in the face with a rusty screwdriver....she is certainly not the master of a pratfall

They don't get naked in the movie, so it's just a cocktease. Why bother with that? I think she's hottest in Fantastic Four. I dunno, something about the spandex and a good makeup artist.

good makeup artist?

Yeah, the lady that puts on the makeup for her. You know, there's a lot of women that don't know shit about makeup, so it's good to have a good makeup artist.

Something about spandex and a kickass body. I'm sure you wouldn't drooling if you had spandex, a good make-up artist, and Kathy Bates (*forces Sine to think about About Schmidt*)

Well, obviously. I was comparing Alba in her different movies, not why Alba is hotter than other people.

OK.....I watched it......it was awesome.
