EEEEEEEE!!!!

So the Olympics are over. NOW what will I do? I was so obsessed with the swimming, the gymnasts, the wrestling, the basketball, hell, even the volleyball kept me awake at night with antici.......pation.

But don't feel too bad for me. September marks the return of new tv! Gossip Girls is a mere week away. And as if I needed another reason to watch Heroes, Michael Ausiello posted this over on EW.com!

"
Breckinseth_lHeroes is getting its very own geek squad.

Real-life BFFs and frequent collaborators Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are nearing a deal to join the cast of Heroes for multi-episode arcs, sources confirm to me exclusively.

As I first teased in this week's episode of Ausiello TV, the Robot Chicken duo will play Atlanta-based comic book nerds aficionados who cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes. I'm told the names of their characters are still in flux, so there's a chance the cheeky monikers I referenced in ATV won't stick. Then again, they very well may. (Fingers crossed that at least one of them does.)

Got any theories as to what higher purpose Green and Meyer may serve in the Heroesverse? Is it just me, or do these two bring to mind a certain nerdy advisory panel from another popular sci-fi franchise? C'mon, it can't just be me."

Hence the EEEEEE! of the title! YAY more Seth Green!

“Superman is how America views itself. Batman is how the rest of the world views America.” - Michael Caine

So Gigs FINALLY saw The Dark Knight--and was not disappointed. It was great. It was scary. It was criminal how they underused Michael Caine. But still a great movie. The best I've seen this year. I really hope they make another one with this team. And I know everyone is saying it, but Heath Ledger's performance really is Oscar worthy. When you can watch a character on the screen and really have no idea who is playing him, that's incredible. I still can't believe that was him. Even when he was shown for a split second without the makeup, it was like, OMB that's Heath! And can i just say how much better Maggie Gyllenhaal was as Rachel than Katie Holmes--who was good in a Joey Potter kinda way.

Scary quote at the top, there. Do you agree?
