Spike TV is showing ‘Warriors’ at the moment. Presumably in the build up to the re-make of ‘Warriors.’ I watch this again, though for the first time in almost a decade, and I can’t figure out exactly why this movie has the appeal that it does. It seems so cheesy, but there is a certain charisma around the central gang members that transcends the cheesiness. Or maybe it just reminds me of an earlier, simpler era.
Riffs, yeah!

I’m not terribly surprised, but I’m also not terribly disappointed. As much as I think this is the best comedy on, it would have probably gotten stale if it kept going.
What I wish for (and I don’t think FOX will allow this to happen), is that the rest of the season could have played out knowing it was coming to an end, as The Office did so well; heightening the tensions and relationships up to the finale.
Last week’s episode, where it’s revealed that Charlize Theron’s character is retarded, cracked me up.
It frankly had a really good run, won some emmys, and will do well on DVD – and thank god, it put Jason Bateman back on the map. Perhaps now they could revive his old Silver Spoons spin-off “It’s Your Move.”
