Yes, Harrison Ford is a bad ass. I know this. But something just didn't seem right last night when he appeared on Conan last night. I'm not complaining or anything. At least this wasn't as awkward as the Joaquin Phoenix's interview on Letterman a year or two ago. This one is probably one of the best interviews I saw on a talk show in awhile and I wish most interviews were this funny and entertaining. Another person that gives funny interviews is Russell Brand but he's very fast paced and on the different end of the spectrum than Harrison Ford.

Cowboys & Aliens

I'm a huge fan of movie trailers.  I probably spend more time watching trailers than I do movies.  This week one movie trailer caught my eye.  It's a movie called Cowboys & Aliens and I think Steven Spielberg has something to do with it. (It just seems lately he just puts his name on any movie though)  From what I've read or seen, this is should be one of the summer movies for next year that doesn't disappoint.  

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) — Prosecutors say a rural Wisconsin man blasted his TV with a shotgun after watching Bristol Palin's "Dancing with the Stars" routine, sparking an all-night standoff with a SWAT team.

According to court documents, 67-year-old Steven Cowan of the town of Vermont in Dane County became enraged while watching Palin dance on Monday evening. He felt Palin was not a good dancer.

He went to his bedroom and returned to the living room with a shotgun and blasted the TV, then pointed the gun at his wife, who managed to escape and call police. Tactical officers surrounded the house and finally managed to talk Cowan out Tuesday morning.

He has been charged second-degree reckless endangerment, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $25,000 in fines. It was unclear whether Cowan has retained an attorney.

Conan Returns

Conan returned after his nine month break when being fired from NBC.  His new show on TBS, titled Conan, is now on at a new time at 11pm.  O'Brien joked that he named the show Conan so that it would be a lot harder to replace him.  The first three episodes are in the books and his ratings beat out both Leno and Letterman.

Scott Pllgrim vs the World

Scott Pilgrim vs the World was a movie that I knew nothing really about except that it was a comic book.  The first 20 minutes there were lots of video game references along with video game music and the movie really played out like a video game.  It did get weird at some points, like when on of the actors started singing during a fight scene.
