Yes, I Put Entrecard on Here… But NO I Will Not…
Written by Jay on May 14, 2008 – -Yes, I decided to put Entrecard on here even though I have not been a big fan of it. Well, not of it but rather the Entrecard cult, chain droppers, drop and dashers, etc. The reason I decided to put it on here is simply the fact that I know a lot of people share the same interests and I want to get the word out there.
I already have it on a couple of my other blogs but no, I am not a Entrecard dropper. I just wanted to make that clear. And a lot of people are Entrecard addicts and need help. Find out if you are an Entrecard addict here!
Matter of fact, below is a list of things you will NOT see me doing, in regards to Entrecard, at least not on iBlogtoBlog.com
I will not…
- reciprocate Entrecard drops
- hold Entrecard contests
- join Entrecard cults, reciprocal groups, etc
- enter Entrecard contests
- not visit your blog if a majority of your posts are Entrecard-related
- well, mostly Entrecard-related things
But what I will do…
- I will network with other bloggers
- I will help out when I can
- Basically, nothing against my norms
I just wanted to kind of make things clear so there will be no confusion. If you like my blog, then great, I hope you leave a comment and your blog URL and I will check out your blog. And if I like it, I’ll consider subscribing as well! But just because you advertise on my Entrecard widget, it doesn’t mean that I will check out your blog… Just a heads up…

It’s Official – Jimmy Fallon is the New Late Night Host
Written by Jay on May 13, 2008 – -
It’s made official, Jimmy Fallon will be the new late night host replacing Conan O’Brien.
So, let me go on record to say, I told two close friends of mine about this about a month ago and they didn’t believe me. I said that Jimmy Fallon was taking over for Conan O’Brien and that Conan was taking over for Jay Leno. Of course, they never believe me but that’s just fine. I like saying “I told you so!” And yes, I called them and left messages for them in a professional manner stating “ha ha, I told you so… again!”
Honestly, I don’t think Jimmy Fallon will do a good job replacing Conan O’Brien but that’s just my personal opinion. He’s funny, at times, but for the most part, he’s a little corny.
Luckily he has writers, huh?
But even with writers, you have to ad lib quite a lot and I know he’s coming from a Saturday Night Live background, but he didn’t do too much on there either. But we should give him a chance, at least. I just wanted to go on record to say that I don’t think he’s going to be a good replacement.
Now, what’s happening with Jay Leno?
Well, I’m hearing a few different things. I heard that he announced his retirement sometime back in like 2004 or something so when his contract runs out, he was simply going to retire. On the other hand, I heard he wanted to stay but decisions have already been made. But Leno is talented enough that I’m sure it won’t be hard for him to get a new job; whatever it will be.
Now, Conan O’Brien, I think he’s pretty funny but I’m not sure if I want to see him replace Leno. That’s just my personal opinion. But maybe I was just used to Leno and all the stuff he has on his show? Will that change? Probably. But I hope they don’t get rid of a lot of things that’s currently on the show.
Oh, and what about Kevin Eubanks and the Tonight Show band? Are they going to still be there? Or are they out of a job too? Is Conan taking his band with him? I would assume so. But I guess nothing is official official until 2009.
So, we’ll have to wait until then!

"Speed Racer" Crashed in the Box Office – We Told You So!
Written by Jay on May 13, 2008 – -
I’ll say this before and I’ll say it again, “Speed Racer” just wasn’t going to do good. And I could’ve told you this the minute I saw the previews, whenever that was. But the final numbers are in at the box office, and “Speed Racer” actually dropped down to third place finish behind “What Happens in Vegas!” Like I said in the title, “We Told You So!”
I know that seems pretty childish but we went on record a few posts ago stating that we wouldn’t be surprised if “What Happens in Vegas” actually overtook the second spot from “Speed Racer.”
So, originally, “Speed Racer” was estimated at $20.2M for the opening weekend box office but as of Monday, the totals ended up being $18.6M which moved them down to a third place opening day weekend finish in the box office.
With those totals, The Wachowski brothers’ movie came about $1.6M short of earlier studio estimates and definitely, and I mean, definitely came up really short of expectations; espcially with all he hype that the movie got.
What makes it worse, particularly for the studio, owned byTime Warner, is the fact that they spent their $120 million budget. And if I did my math correctly, that means someone has to come u with $100M or someone is going to be pissed!
Well, that’s the entertainment business for you. You win some… but most of the time you don’t live up to expectations!

Sexy Pole Position Ladies
Written by Jay on May 12, 2008 – -
I’m not going to lie to you, when I thought about “pole positions” and ladies, I didn’t have race cars in mind. But then again, I never knew the terminology of it anyways.
But seriously, when someone first mentioned “pole positions” to me, I was thinking of a stripper pole with some sexy women doing some crazy positions.
Of course, I was wrong. And nope, I’m not going to get into the details on what it actually means but rather, you can enjoy some of these pictures below. (And yes, you can click on the pictures to see the full size)
Now that’s what I call “pole positions!”

Iron Man Iron’s Out Competition in the Box Office – I Told You!
Written by Jay on May 11, 2008 – -I told you, I mentioned this before but did I not predict Iron Man was going to be number 1 in the box office for the second straight week? Don’t take my word for it, check my archives!
Iron Man didn’t do as good as the week before, but movies usually don’t the following week. Of course, there are certain exceptions, but rare. Iron Man still did pretty good, it managed to take in an estimated $50.5 million which was good enough to take the number 1 spot from new movies such as “Speed Racer” and “What Happens in Vegas.”
“Speed Racer” managed to finish second with $20.2 million, followed by “What Happens in Vegas” with $20 million.
I didn’t mention this on this blog but I predicted “Speed Racer” not doing that great. I mean, it managed to finish second, but these figures on an estimate and look at how close “What Happens in Vegas” is behind them. They may very well have a good shot at taking over the second spot.
But “Speed Racer” was pretty hyped up so it obviously didn’t live up to expectations. I mean, I don’t plan on seeing the movie or anything because it just looks to, um, not that good. And I’m sure people were disappointed with it, especially how it did in the box office.
“We were disappointed with the results over the weekend,” said Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution for Warner Bros.
Hey, I knew it, you knew it but apparently, no one bothered to mention it to the Warner Bros, huh?
