This week's good goes to Have Gun, Will Travel's CD release party at Ybor City's Crowbar on Friday night. Having witnessed a mixed record of attendance at the place, I was pleasantly surprised by an impressive turnout, and to see a lot of folks I haven't communed with in a while. The band rocked and the liquor flowed a bit too freely, two factors which always make for the kind of memorable evening you only sort of remember.
This week's bad goes to the DVD release of Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem. Just call me a sucker because I keep hoping for a return to the Alien franchise's fine form of the Ridley Scott and James Cameron classics. The second installment of this offshoot story wasn't as anonymous as Paul W.S. "Video Game Graphics, Shitty Techno Score" Anderson's '04 launch, but it was too dark in color, too dumb in content and generally disappointing nonetheless. Like I said, blame me for expecting more.
This week's ugly goes to the weakest cold opening and "Weekend Update" segments since SNL came back from the writers' strike. Hopefully it's just a bump in the road and the show will remain on a roll; the new stuff is the funniest in a long, long time for a program that's dragged since Phil Hartman's heartbreaking demise.
