The first sign of trouble was when the first hour of the two hour season premiere turned out to be a clip show! Ugh!

But the show was kinda meh, right? I was hoping for more. These boat people better not be like the Others of last season and be all mean to the islanders for no good reason and not tell us anything.

Jacob intrigues me though. We need more of him! It?

1. Voting for the Bloggies ends tonight at 10:00 PM EST. If you haven’t voted, please go over and vote! Puntabulous is nominated in the Best GLBT Weblog category and I would love to beat Perez win!

2. I’m glad a lot of people liked the Buffalo Chicken Dip recipe from yesterday! If anyone makes it, they should e-mail me a picture of their finished product and/or a picture of them enjoying it and I’ll post them on here. SIDENOTE

3. I finally got around to watching the Sci-Fi Channel’s miniseries Tin Man. It was okay. Nothing great. But I do love me some Zooey Deschanel! I still can’t get over the fact that the Monkey-Bats flew out of the witch’s boobs. Like, seriously? What’s my favorite miniseries, you ask? Merlin starring Sam Neill and Isabella Rossellini. Too bad the sequel Merlin’s Apprentice sucked total ass.

4. Lost starts again tonight! Razzle Dazzle! Fingers crossed that Locke is in his Season 1 and end of Season 3 mindframe and not his Season 2 (OMG THE HATCH!) mindframe.

5. I changed my blog header around a bit. I wanted to better capture the spirit of Puntabulous. Plus Natalie Portman, my wife, was giving me hell for not including her. I also wanted to put Super Viagra and Vagina Girl up there because spending FIVE SOLID HOURS on Sunday working on their last post reminded me that I love them so very much. I’d really love it if someone would make me Super Viagra and Vagina Girl stuffed animals. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

6. Seriously, what’s so bad about ice in white or blush wines? It’s not like a keep a bottle of wine in the fridge next to the chocolate donuts and Hershey’s strawberry syrup for easy access. A boy needs his wine chilled!

7. What’s with all the Project Runway reruns this season? That’s twice now I’ve been excited all day for a new episode and then BAM! rerun. I’m not the only one rooting for Sweet P to win, right? She’s one cool lady. And frankly, everyone else annoys me. I miss Elisa.

I know right? Me, helping you get ready for the Superbowl this weekend? What has the world come to?! But obviously I’m talking about a super delicious recipe (that my friend Tim gave me) and not helping you pick your box. LOL: “pick your box”.

These are most of the ingredients. Healthy, right? I bet you’re already salivating in anticipation.

You boil 3-4 chicken breasts for 30 minutes. I would have done this earlier in the day had I realized waiting 30 minutes for chicken to cook would be so boring. Granted, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that waiting half an hour for chicken to boil would be boring. The only good that came out of it was the knowledge that a watched pot does in fact boil.

Boiled chicken kinda looks like the sheep hearts we dissected in high school biology. Preheat the oven at 425!

Spread the bottom of an oven-safe dish with the whole bar of cream cheese. Generously lick the spoon after you’re done spreading the cream cheese. SIDENOTE

Then you shred the chicken. (Another reason to boil the chicken earlier in the day. Shredding hot chicken hurts!)

Then you mix in the whole bottle of blue cheese dressing and the whole bottle of Frank’s Hot Sauce. Don’t use the same spoon that you licked after spreading the cream cheese! You disgusting bastard!

Next you poor the chicken concoction into the dish.

What could make this even less healthier, you ask? Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top! Not too much though! Adding too much cheese makes it hard for dipping! Then put it in the oven for 20 minutes!

This is the wine you drink while waiting the 20 minutes for the dip to cook and attempt pretend think about cleaning up the mess.

And here is the finished product! Buffalo Chicken Dip!

Eat it with tortilla chips! Yum! You’ll be the hit of the Superbowl party! Who’s ready to watch some commercials football?!

Netflix #3 - Wit - Suggested by No One

This isn’t going to be a movie review so much as it’s going to be a tribute to the awesomeness of Emma Thompson. Yes, the movie was incredible, but I don’t think it would have been nearly as good with someone else in the main role. How cool is Emma Thompson? She’s had a special place in my heart way before Helen Mirren came and distracted us with her old lady wonder breasts. She’s Professor Trelawny for goodness sakes! And that moment in Love, Actually when she’s crying silently in the bedroom to Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” is heart-breaking! Plus Emma is the only person ever to win Academy Awards for both Writing and Acting! How awesome is that?! On cold, lonely nights, I imagine a world where Emma Thompson and Carrie Fisher did rewrites of all three Star Wars prequels.

Netflix #4 - Amélie - Suggested by Karen and GoKitty

Um, why haven’t I watched this movie before? Like, someone should have strapped me down into a (comfy) chair and been like: “Craig. Watch this movie. You will love it.” Because I did. I loved it. But part of me thinks that it’s fate that I watched Amelie at this very point in time: during the writer’s strike when Hollywood Producers are preventing me from enjoying the best new show on television: Pushing Daisies. It totally filled the quirky gap missing in my life since Pushing Daisies has been gone. The French talk really fast though! Good thing I’m a quick reader! I might need to see it again so I can focus on the cool visuals more than reading the subtitles.

Keep to recommendations coming!

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on my dear friends, and America’s favorite crime-fighting duo: Super Viagra and Vagina Girl.

How cool is that?! Aren’t I such a genius? Britannica is practically my middle name! Thanks to whoever put me on there! Now if only there was a Wikipedia page for Puntabulous…

They can fly us halfway across the galaxy and save our skins more times than we can count, but very rarely are the pilots the main hero of the story. So let’s take a moment to recognize the awesomeness (and not so awesomeness) of spaceship pilots.

WHO: Alex Rogan from The Last Starfighter
ABOUT HIM: This is actually one of the rare cases where the pilot gets to be the main hero. Have you seen those awful commercials for Fools Gold starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson? Where Kate is like: “How did you learn to fly?!” and Matthew is like: “Playstation!” and we’re all supposed to laugh, but we don’t, because it’s not funny. Well that’s the premise of The Last Starfighter. Good at video games = Good at flying in real life. What? It was the 80’s. We were stupid back then!

WHO: Carmen Ibanez from Starship Troopers
ABOUT HER: Look at that face! Is she in severe pain? Or is she having the best sex of her life? Or both? Starship Troopers features some of the worst acting in a movie with amazing special effects (up there with the 1998 Godzilla) but Denise Richards takes the cake. I almost believed her as a nuclear physicist in The World is Not Enough more than a starship pilot even though her character’s name wasn’t nearly as bad as Dr. Christmas Jones. And we all know the only reason for that was so James Bond could say: “I thought Christmas only comes once a year.” Groan.

WHO: Turanga Leela from Futurama
ABOUT HER: I’m not sure how a person with one eye has the proper depth perception to pilot a spacecraft, but that’s besides the point. The picture above is from the BEST EPISODE OF FUTURAMA EVER where they meet the cast of Star Trek and the Star Trek cast do all their own voice work and Craig has a major geekasm, but also mourns the fact that DeForest Kelley (his favorite character Dr. Bones McCoy!) died in 1999 and couldn’t participate. And did you know that there are people out there who draw sexy pictures of Leela? Neither did I! Creepy! Check them out HERE and HERE! And then someone made a Leela shaped computer. Um, yeah, I don’t get it either.

WHO: Pilot from Farscape
ABOUT HIM: Pilot isn’t just his job, it’s his name! Clever! I didn’t watch too much Farscape so I can’t say too much about it, although I do love Rygel. What I’ve seen of it just seems a bit too cheesy for me. But I always felt bad that Pilot was permanently bonded to the ship. I mean, talk about a ball and chain! On a semi-related note: I’m tempted to Netflix the first season of Torchwood, but does it have the same cheese factor as Farscape?

WHO: Hoban “Wash” Washburne from Firefly and Serenity
ABOUT HIM: Okay, I can’t talk about Wash for too long for fear of bursting into tears. He’s a leaf on the wind who loves playing with his little plastic dinosaurs. He also gets to be married to the hot and kick-ass Anna Espinosa from Alias. He was always good for a quick getaway or a funny quip. But then… at the end of Serenity… sorry, I can’t talk about it. I hate you for doing that to me Joss Whedon, but I really, really love you.

WHO: Han Solo from Star Wars
ABOUT HIM: Who needs Jedi powers when you’ve got the coolest piece of crap ship in the universe and a Wookie by your side? Plus you’re the only person in the galaxy who can get head from your girlfriend and still brag to your friends that you gave it to her between the buns. Zing!

So we’re really liking the new Sarah Connor Chronicles, right? I know I am. It begs the question: Who makes the better Terminator?

Summer Glau has an edge because she already has a special spot in the hearts of sci-fi fanboys all over the world because of her role as River Tam in Firefly and Serenity. I mean, who doesn’t love the final fight scene in Serenity? And in Sarah Connor Chronicles you got to see her in her bra and panties (LOL! “panties”) and she even kicked guys’ asses butt naked! I just hope they don’t overdo her clueless robot act. The “tight” gift bit was still funny this past episode, but I’m not sure how much longer they can pull it off while still being believable. (As believable a show about time traveling robots can be.)

But Kristanna Loken was so cool and badass in Terminator 3 without having to resort to being overly sexy à la Halle Berry’s skimpy Catwoman suit. I really like her too. She just seems really well spoken and composed in interviews I’ve seen with her, but still down to earth. I was hoping her career was going to take off after Terminator 3 (I’m sure she was too) but some schmuck introduced her to Uwe Boll. I even stuck with Painkiller Jane (which had its moments) for a while, but that wasn’t very good either. I hear she’s pretty good in The L Word though.

But neither of them have guns that shoot out of their tits. So I guess they both suck.

I kid, I kid. I love them both. Don’t make me choose.

Watch them both in action after the jump: ,

I got nominated for Best GLBT Weblog in the 2008 Bloggies, following in the awesome footsteps of Scott-O-Rama who was nominated last year. Other nominees in my category this year include:

Good As You
Perez Hilton
Lesbiatopia
The Wishful Writer

You have to wonder why blogs like Towleroad, Queerty, and OMGBlog (winner of the Gay Bloggies) don’t get nominated, and they’re some of the best gay websites around. But then I’m like, who cares?! It’s really cool to get nominated, especially to be listed with my fellow nominees who are all amazing.

And I’m thankful I didn’t get nominated for Most Humorous Weblog because then I’d have to be funny. That’s way too much pressure for me to handle. Instead I just have to be really gay, which I can totally handle. Come and get it boys… I mean bois! LOL! OMG! I’M SO FAT!

Head over to the Bloggies website to vote for all your favorite blogs!

Just like everyone else in the world, I’ve been obsessing over the Juno soundtrack lately. Here’s a really fun fan-made video for one of my favorite songs on the disc “Tree Hugger” by Kimya Dawson and Antsy Pants.
