24 Season 7: Kiefer Sutherland Has Yet More Torturing to Do
It's tempting to write this post as a series of random Jack Bauer facts (which are funnier than I could ever manage). But why bother? This trailer for the new season of 24, so kindly and gently introduced by Kiefer Sutherland, does all the work for you. Jack Bauer does not negotiate. Jack Bauer does not regret. Jack Bauer's gonna torture a bitch. And Jack Bauer is gonna enjoy it.

Kojima's Boot Camp: Get Fit The Japanese Way!
Covering online video requires a certain level of sleuthiness -- you have to learn how to search, where to search, and what to do with that information when you find it. (It also helps to have an eclectic set of online buddies, one of whom is bound to know way more than you.) But congratulations, Kojima's Boot Camp -- you have me and my buddy list stumped. All we know is that the featured performer is a Japanese comedian named Yoshio Kojima (previously known for the superhero character Cyclone Z), and he is not afraid to flaunt what he's got.
I wouldn't have put so much energy into trying to figure out what's happening here, except that it seems like Japan is always one step ahead of America on a number of scores: karaoke, video games, Ken Watanabe. So are we looking at the future of aerobics here? The terrifying, terrifying future? Because no matter how many kanji translators I track down, I'll never be able to explain the packing tape on Kojima's chest.

Battlestar Back Soon With "Razor"
I love science fiction, but let's be honest -- when it comes to quality writing and acting, the discerning fan's options are limited. Thankfully, Battlestar Galactica is around, raising the bar and raising the stakes with every episode.
After a stunning season finale this March, fans of the SciFi original series were dismayed to find out that their favorite post-apocalyptic space opera wouldn't be returning until January 2008. Turns out, though, that part of the reason for the long hiatus was "Razor," a two-hour original movie focusing on unexplored back story from Season 2 -- specifically, the crew of the Pegasus and how they survived the Cylon attack on the 12 Colonies.
If that last paragraph doesn't make any sense to you, then this preview is not for you. Despite introducing a new character and showing brief snippets of all your Battlestar favorites, this clip is light on content -- but full of action. And we only have to wait until... Wait, November? Oh, frak me.
