iWatch

The first thing I did this year was to check out where my favorite cable channels moved ;P Now that I think about it, that's what I've been doing every year since we got cable! Sad part is we have Home/Sky cable, and it seems that they won't be providing one of my favorite channels anymore! :( I only get to watch cable on weekends as I don't have cable on our apartment, so I can appreciate Solar's move to have ETC, 2nd Avenue, and C/S on free TV.

I mean come on? Shows like:

30 Rock
Beat the Geeks
Comedy Central
Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Distraction U.S.
Family Guy
King of the Hill
Scare Tactics
South Park
Street Smart
That 70's Show
The Man Show
The Simpsons


Not to mention they picked up all the Late shows!

Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Late Show with David Letterman
Tonight Show with Jay Leno


And then, there's wrestling!

ECW
WWE RAW
WWE Smackdown

I can't believe they didn't subscribe to JackTV this year, I believe this channels has tons (and will add more with the new shows) of viewers with this kind of line up. Why sky!? why!!!? I hope they don't make it premium as I would seriously consider moving to Destiny.

Enough about JackTV. On the movie front, it's going to be quite entertaining ... I could easily name 10+ movies I'd be looking out for! :D (Well some of them aren't quite 2008, but they haven't been shown locally yet.)

Check them out! :D


AVP requiem


Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian


Coraline


Cloverfield


Dr. Seuss's Horton hears a who?


Get Smart


Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay


Hellboy II: The Golden Army


Iron Man


Juno


Kung fu Panda


Semi Pro


Speed Racer


The Dark Knight


Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story



Wall-E


Ah there's also that live action movie Dragon Ball movie that's rumored to be slated for August this year ... I'm not sure how Stephen Chow's producing will factor in. I just hope it's not as weird as I picture it in my head.

You're not the only one bummed about Jack TV being lost in cable purgatory. I have the same cable provider and losing all the shows was a kick in the gut. LOL.

Looking forward to many of those movies as well (add Sex and The City the movie and you pretty much have my list! hehe) Juno I've been looking forward to since forever, and Robert Downey Jr playing Iron Man was inspired. :)

A Prosperous 2008 zerovoltage!

arjay - i just hope it comes out really great only because it can be a the total opposite of that.

alternati - oh i'm sure. i just hated to learn that other providers have them ...

oh yeah, i missed that (and more than that, i'm sure) ...

a prosperous 2008 to you too :)
