Lost has to be the most interesting show on TV in ages. Not only are there twists upon twists, sub-plots that would make a comic book writer envious (J.J.

I decided to give my former employers the gears regarding the recent delay of the Clerks 10th anniversary DVD set;
I’m just writing to express my annoyance at how slow it’s taken to get the Clerks 10th Anniversary DVD up here in Canada. This is a product which was released to our neighbours in the [...]

Last night, after fooling with my TiVo for almost two weeks, I managed to get the guide data working thanks to the fine folks at TiVo Canada. This morning, after waiting the required 8 hours for the TiVo to index all the data it got in overnight, I have a fully functional, completely guided [...]
