…who would screw up the A-Team film. Yup! The A-Team! The film will be produced by Oscar winning director Ridley Scott and his lesser known brother Tony. Joe Carnahan, who wrote and directed 2006’s Smokin’ Aces, will direct. The film is due out in June 2010. If they make B.A. Baracus a white guy then its all over.

The unlikely visit that became an unlikely event that is now an unlikely hit game! Just days after the shoe throwing incident in Iraq they have created a game aptly named Sock and Awe. This game is perfect for the Muntadar al-Zeidi in all of us.
One fateful day….
Growing up, we were really not that well off. The few enjoyments that we had was a Sony Trinitron TV that my grandfather gave us. It was not our first TV but it was more awesome than our old one because the old one has a dial to change channels and the Sony has buttons(and the buttons can be programmed)! Can you imagine buttons to change channels?To top it off the darn contraption had a remote control! That was the coolest thing I ever saw(at that time).
A week with our trusty telly
Since then, never was a day complete without turning the TV on. After school my mother would be hooked with her soaps and movie reruns this was the time my fragile mind would be bombarded by Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor dramas and the cheesiness of the Gabby-Sharon tandem but that was the better part of my TV afternoon. Once the clock strikes 4 my mother would automatically flick the remote and watch the man in the white suit hosting a show filled with adolescent kids. That TV was also our faithful weekend companion, the whole household would spend our Saturday night watching the Swiss-knife wielding McGuyver in his adventures. I can still remember spending many a Saturday mornings watching cartoons(in my opinion shows back then was much much better) like Dino Riders, Tiger Sharks, MASK and a whole lot more. Sundays is the only day that I cannot remember what show was on because of the fact that my parents was the only one who had power over that remote control on that day.
Early Geek Training
I don’t know if my mother has techno-phobia or she does it inadvertently but to this day, she hates to figure our how gadgets work(just being a girl i guess). That TV also served as my tool to tech stuff as Mom always ask me to fix the reception on our TV(V-Hold adjustment) or if whenever we ran out of batteries I was her human remote(but to my chagrin the programmable buttons always gets messed up and I had to reprogram it again) and mind you I was not even 10 years old at that time. The Trinitron also was the budding partner of our NES and I had to put the RF switch on the back of the TV and me and my older brothers took turns in letting the fat guy with the moustache jump chasms, jump on mushrooms and climb flagpoles.
The Demise of The Trinitron
During the early 90s and after several coup attempts on the government, that TV was replaced by a larger television but was still used regularly. It was only when my brother accidentally plugged it in a 220 volt socket directly that it fell into its thinly smoked, burnt death. After, that we didn’t threw it away but was relegated for the stock room for many years until finally it was thrown into the abyss that we call the garbage dump. I had many firsts on that TV and never will I forget the experiences I had with it. It definitely gave significance in my life just like the Sony’s World’s First Motionflow 240Hz LCD TV: Bravia Z450 that can be a lovely replacement for that beloved Sony Trinitron TV.
