-Purple Rain is a better album than Thriller. There, I said it. I feel better.

-Madden 10 isn't perfect. I've yet to play the perfect video game. That said, I'm having more fun with this version of Madden than any in the past 5 years. Good work, Ian and company.

-I wasn't blown away by the NHL 10 demo. That's not to say NHL 10 won't be great because it (likely) will be. It's just that, I don't know, I was expecting something "more."

-Watchmen was a decent movie but if you hadn't read the graphic novel previously, you probably were a little confused. The movie followed the book pretty close but still, there were parts that were glossed over and needed more explanation. Of course, then we'd have 4-hour movie and no one is going to sit through a 4-hour movie today. I still love the ending to the book/movie as it is definitely something out of the ordinary and makes you think.

-Shadow Complex is a game I need to buy ASAP. I tried out the trail version yesterday and was blown away. Love the old-school feel to the game.

-Playing games in HD is much more enjoyable than using a SDTV. Now I know what I've been missing the past few years.

-WWE needs to figure out how to make new stars. Yeah the Undertaker return was cool last night, but also very predictable. Why not give Matt Hardy or John Morrison a chance to work a program with Punk? Morrison's pinned Punk twice and Matt Hardy pinned Punk on the go-home show of Smackdown. Hopefully Taker will put over Punk but man, I'd like to see some fresh faces in the main event scene. It's a shame how bad they ruined Miz and MVP over on RAW. Both had a chance to take on big roles in the company but Miz was booked like a joke and MVP was quickly buried in the mid-card. HHH, HBK and company don't have much tread left on the tires, Vince. You better figure out who's going to carry the company the next 10-15 years.
