Thor, Anthrax and Dream Theater.

It is September 13th, 2011 and it’s time to spend some hard earned cash on entertainments.

As I have mentioned it before, I was planning to get new records from Anthrax and Dream Theater today. As I walked in the store I found out that Thor is also released today. There goes $50 out of my pocket.

I have yet to open any of the packages, so I won’t be doing any reviews. Then again I won’t be doing any reviews after I actually listens and watch them because I’m way too lazy.

Anthrax – Worship Music

  • New album with Joey Belladona who was out of Anthrax after Persistence of Time.
  • Anthrax played a show at Best Buy Theater in New York under the Moniker Satan’s Lounge Band on Monday September 12th, 2011.
  • Anthrax along with Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica will play The Big 4 show at Yankee’s Stadium on Wednesday September 14th, 2011 at 4:00 PM.

Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events

  • A Dramatic Turn of Events is the first Dream Theater record without founding member Mike Portnoy.
  • It is also the first with new drummer Mike Mangini.
  • Three editions are available:

Thor

  • Thor is played by Chris Hemsworth, who also played George Kirk in 2010’s Star Trek.
  • There’s Natalie Portman in it.
  • I have not watched the movie yet, not even in the theater.
  • Three editions of the movie are sold in most stores.

Dear Netflix, what?

Netflix introduces new subscription plans and price changes.

So for instance, our current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:

Plan 1: Unlimited Streaming (no DVDs) for $7.99 a month
Plan 2: Unlimited DVDs, 1 out at-a-time (no streaming), for $7.99 a month.

The price for getting both of these plans will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99). For new members, these changes are effective immediately; for existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1, 2011.

If you are currently a Netflix subscriber, check your plan and act accordingly.

I have streaming only service and I’ d have to pay another $7.99 to get the DVD by mail. I’d be completely happy to have streaming only service if there were more newer movies available.

Old Movies: Revenge Of The Nerds

I watched “Revenge Of The Nerds” on Netflix earlier today. Still entertaining after all these years.

Random thoughts on the movie:

  • Hey it’s that guy from E.R.
  • Jefferson Darcy
  • Zephram Cochrane
  • John Goodman, half the size.

What’s next?

Star Trek on Netflix, beam me and sign me up!

Star Trek is now on Netflix according to TekGoblin and others. I also heard the news on Tech News Today this past Friday July 1st, 2011 if memories served correctly.

Let’s recap:

  • I watched Star Trek The Original Series on re-run in the 80’s.
  • I followed Star Trek: The Next Generation since its premiere till “All Good Things…”
  • I watched a few first episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
  • I kinda watched Star Trek: Voyager and kinda bored with it.
  • I watched Enterprise for one and a half season, then for some reason kept missing it.

I have watched all Star Trek Movies and looking forward to the next one despite major plot loopholes in Star Trek (2009).

Time to get on Netflix.

p.s. I did get to meet Jolene Blalock on an MTV event when Enterprise wa still on production.

Futurama – Ghost In The Machines

From Comedy Central:

Ghost in the Machines (619)
When Bender dies, his disembodied software begins haunting the Planet Express building.

In “Lethal Inspection” it was revealed that Bender does not have a backup unit. In “Ghost In The Machines” Bender dies and turns into a ghost, robot ghost.

There’s Robot Devil, voiced by Dan Castellaneta from Homer Simpson fame.
