Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” Bizarre Verbal Tic (Quirk)

I like Jon Stewart and I enjoy the “Daily Show.” I just wanted to state that before this next little bit.

On Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Jon Stewart visited “The Howard Stern Radio Show” on Sirius. The interview lasted a little over an hour. And as with all of Stern’s interviews, it was very interesting. But during the course of the interview, I noticed a little bit of a verbal quirk (or tic) that Jon Stewart would express when acknowledging Stern. At first, I thought nothing of it, but as the interview progressed, it became considerably apparent.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Lens Flare

For those of you who might have been disappointed by the lack of J. J. Abrams Lens Flare in the new “Star Wars” trailer, well, you just didn’t look close enough.

Know It All Joe’s Truth in Advertising – The McRib

A few days back, my curiosity got the best of me. I hadn’t had a McDonald’s McRib in years. I remembered liking it. I remembered wrong! Their Ad should read like this.

“The Sopranos” Alternate and Definitive Ending (Video)

Boy, was I pissed off when “The Sopranos” went off the air back in ’07. That ‘cut to black’ ending was such a cop out. I realize that people either loved it or hated it. Well I was one of the people that hated it. However you look at it, it really was a middle finger to the fans that followed the show for years. David Chase can justify it anyway he wants, but that’s just not the kind of closure that you give to people. I mean you don’t have to tie up every loose end, but you just can’t end the thing mid-scene and then tell the audience, “Hey morons, fill in the rest. I’m going home.”

Know It All Joe’s Question for the Day (A Consumer Conundrum)

Welcome to the very first Know It All Joe’s Question for the Day (I’m not going to do this everyday). I’d really like to know the answer to the following question…

Know It All Joe’s PSA of the Day

It’s time for another “Know It All Joe’s PSA of the Day.” And we’ll use a “Doctor Who” theme this time around.

George Clooney Marries! And the Interview that Bit Him in the Ass

Addio, George Clooney’s bachelorhood, and congrats for diving back into the marriage bowl. Clooney married British attorney Amal Alamuddin on Saturday, September 27, 2014 in Venice, Italy. And although he was married once before many years back to actress Talia Balsam, he had sworn to never marry again (like so many others swear to never do – and then do it anyway).

Batmobile in Action – New Video Footage & Pics from “Batman v Superman”

I present to you some more video and various street shots of the new Batmobile from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

You know, no matter how many times I say that title, I hate it more and more each time. It’s just not growing on me. Not the “Batman v Superman” part. Though I really hate the ‘v.’ Just say ‘vs.” It’s the “Dawn of Justice” part that grates on me. It just sounds so passive aggressive. And I hate passive aggressive.

Ren & Stimpy Creator at Los Angeles Comic Con (Pics)

So I’m doing a little bit of a follow-up to my autograph gripe from a week and a half back. Though this one’s not a gripe. I just wanted to make mention that John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy’s creator) was also at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention on August 17, 2014, not only signing autographs but also doing caricatures and original Ren & Stimpy artwork for the fans. Prices could reach up to $150 but since this man is an actual working artist (yes, I realize that actors are artists too) and he wasn’t just simply signing his name and smiling for the camera, I think his prices were very justified.

When Stars Charge Too Much! A Know It All Joe Gripe

I’ve got a gripe.

I’m not a fan of when celebrities charge money for autographs. Mind you, I’m not speaking of the actors that once starred on one of your favorite shows back in the day and now sign autographs at these collector shows and Comic-Cons as a way to make some extra scratch to live on. Or the ones that sign and give the proceeds to charity. I’m speaking of the folks who are currently working actors, paid a good buck, and charge an exorbitantamount of money to sign their John Hancock for their fans.
