After 72 years CBS has cancelled “The Guiding Light”. Now I am not a soap head, I had a brief flirtation with “All My Children” back in the mid 90’s but the Natalie got her sight back on Christmas day and…well I digress.

Back on the hometown front, Michael Jordan (who I don’t believe still lives in Chicago) has joined Mayor Richard Daley’s campaign to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago. I am still very much on the fence about this as I am not sure how it will affect residents in the long run.

Slow news day for me today, just a few take out the trash items....

Happy Birthday to Quentin Tarantino he made two of my favorite movies. Kill Bill and Jackie Brown


From Sci Fi Wire-
“With more than 5,000 crime fighters and villains in its library, Marvel Entertainment is assembling a group of screenwriters who will pen scripts for various properties Marvel wants to develop, Variety reported. The writers' group will be similar to that created by the fellowship program the Walt Disney Co. has been running since 1990. That group enlists a dozen writers to work with creative executives to develop films for the studio and TV shows for ABC, the Disney Channel and ABC Family. Marvel will invite up to five writers each year to work on specific projects, a source familiar with the deal told the trade paper. Those could include staffers behind Marvel's comic books. The company will provide the specific pitches it wants the writers to tackle. Those could involve certain plot points for movies already in development or characters it would like to see on its future film slate.”

One of my favorites on Cartoon Network Ben 10: Alien Force closes its second season tonight after a long Ben 10 themed week. Word is that season 3 Ben 10 Evolutions (working title) has already been green lit for next year.

President Obama called the Bailout CEO’s to the White House for a “talking to” At the end they came out and stated “were all in this together”. Well not really and not quite and honestly I am tired of hearing them say they get it, then they do something ridiculous!

LOGO has greenlit a second season of the network's breakout reality hit, RuPaul's Drag Race, which is set to air in early 2010. A mash up of America's Next Top Model and Project Runway, the competition series searches for "America's Next Drag Superstar" and is hosted by renowned drag queen RuPaul. The first installment of the series was the three-year-old network's most successful series launch and drove LOGOonline.com to its highest traffic levels ever.

As my favorite fictional Press Secretary use to say at the end of the day “ That’s a full lid!” which meant that unless something huge happened there was no more news for the day. So I decided to adopt the same things here at The Window. The things I find interesting that don’t need a full blog entry.

Happy Birthday to Hair Diva Diana Ross!

Also a happy birthday to one of my favorite pop culture aliens, Leonard Nimoy who played Mr. Spock on Star Trek.

I read today that there is a Nutty Professor III in the works. What the hell?

Dragon Ball Evolution The movie based on the long running Anime has had it’s opening pushed back from April 8^th to April 10^th (Personally they can push it back to never for me…it looks too much like Jump and Push)

Fear dot Net has a 37 minute series called “Stream” starring Whoopi Goldberg. It’s no so much scary as interesting and a little freaky, but I enjoyed it.

And that ladies and gentlemen is a Full Lid ……
