The world according to Dan.

In a move made clearly to capitalize on his death the album with the final George Harrison song on it is being rushed into stores later this month. It was originally slated for release in February, but when there is money to be made…

THE FORCE IS HELPING

George Lucas putting some props from his Star Wars movies up for auction, with proceeds going to September 11 victims. Items up for bid in the eBay auction include a stormtrooper helmet from The Empire Strikes Back and the two-bladed lightsaber carried by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.

ABC and NBC lead teh NAACP nominations.

God Squad rockers Creed maintain their hold on the top of the charts.

The Oscars won’t be handed out until March of next year, but the Oscar race began on Wednesday when the National Board of Review named Moulin Rouge” the best film of 2001. But didn’t they see Shrek?!?!

J.R.R. Tolkien would have hated the “Lord oF The Rings” fims says his biographer.

A new Neil Young song was inspired by some of the doomed September 11th passengers.

So Dan, you ask, what is “Terminator 3” about?

It will probably be about 2 hours long. Ah hah hah hah, ahhh. Man, I love that joke!

Larry Sanders finds a home on DVD

Fans of HBO Home Video’s excellent box sets for their popular television series “The Sopranos” and “Sex in the City” may be interested to know that the network’s former king Larry Sanders is coming as well, but not from HBO. Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment puts The Larry Sanders Show: The Complete First Season on DVD this winter.

Gary Shandling is Larry Sanders, the fictional host of a fictional late night talk show with non-fictional guests. Larry’s show seems to run smoothly almost every night, but only through the chaos and neurosis that goes on behind the scenes each and every show. If Johnny Carson was the king of real late night, Larry was the undisputed king of fictional late night.

The new three disc set will contain all twelve episodes of the first season. Each episode will be presented in its original fullscreen aspect ratio with Dolby Stereo 2.0 sound. The set will also include the featurette, “Gary Shandling Talks… “No Flipping!”.

Coming on February 26th, the set will cost $39.95 and hopefully pave the way for the next five seasons!!

Awesome!
