Too Much Consumption

I have been consuming too much stuff lately and not really producing anything.  Sigh.  Stuff that I've consumed recently:

• Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull:  Not as bad as Wonko thought it was, but still not as good as an Indy movie should be.  My problem is that George Lucas continues to dredge up good stuff from the past and ruining it in the present.  Star Wars, it was fine with the original trilogy, why did he have to make the "new" prequels?  Same with Indiana Jones.  In The Last Crusade, Indy rode off into the sunset and for many of us fans that was a fitting end.  Unfortunately, Lucas brought Indy back for another adventure and ruined the trilogy.  Please George, stop it.  The refrigerator incident is a bit too much to swallow.  And I don't like Shia Lebeouf, he is the Shorty of this film.  In order from best to worse:  Raiders of the Lost Ark; Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade; Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull; and finally Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.
• Torchwood Season 2:  Boy, this season got off to a slow start.  And when it got its footing, it did not have enough time to develop what could have been great:  Tosh's character being fleshed out; the Tosh/Owen relationship; the Gray storyline; and the John Hart storyline.  They were all pretty superficial and that was ashame because of what happens to Tosh.  What happened to Owen about halfway through the season was a weird twist that I could have lived without.  It seemed very arbitrary.  I like how they delved into Jack's past with the overarching Gray storyline, but it was introduced in the begining and then forgetten until the end.  Still, this show is one of the better written sci-fi shows and I do enjoy watching it.
• Speed Racer:  Ok, I only watched the first thirty minutes and stopped.  What a horrid film.  Why did the Wachowski Brothers have to go and ruin Speed Racer?
• Life:  Life is one of the better shows on network TV.  Well-written and funny, yet grounded in reality.  Damian Lewis is great in the show.
• Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:  Long name, great show.
• Chuck:  Watching Chuck on NBC.  It is funny and sometimes actually heartfelt.
• Burnout Paradise:  The last patch introduced trophies.  The only drawback is that the trophies could not be retroactively given (silly Sony).  So, I reset my save game and started over.  Still having lots of fun with the game.  The bikes in the game are tremendously fun and fast like squirrels on cocaine.
• News:  The elections, the implosion of the world economy, layoffs in tech and the crazy stock market.  It all makes for a constant need to consume more and more news.  My news joints include Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance, San Jose Mercury News and the New York Times.
