OMG TV: Gump II: Electric Boogaloo

8:00 - Forrest Gump (AMC)

I had a final exam in a college history class that asked me to plot out a sequel to Forrest Gump, taking him up to present day.  It was actually a lot of fun, and involved all sorts of crazy stuff like Gump bumping into Monica Lewinsky in the White House bathroom and his son dying in 9/11.  Anyway, it’s still the same old movie on AMC, but watch it and then write your own sequel in the time alotted using your #2 pencil in the alotted space.  You may begin.

8:04 - Lucky Number Slevin (HBO)

So that’s where Josh Hartnett has been, other than really stupid dalliances into filmmaking by the New York Times.

10:00 - Boston Legal (ABC)

A girl turns down a guy’s marriage proposal on live TV.  Hilarious.  He then kills her.  Question: is that even funnier?  Answer: only if it’s on a Jumbotron.

Late Night

Dennis, or possibly Randy, Quaid is on Leno (as is P.O.D. - is it 1998?), some rando named Jarod Miller is on Conan, Anne Heche announces she asexual on Ferguson, and the other two members of my all-time favorite sexual fantasy, Cokie Roberts and Madeline Albright, are on Stewart and Colbert.
