That is it. I am now officially hooked on the new season of Top Chef. I came home late tonight after closing the restaurant a little annoyed that I had to reviewcap this show. But then I popped the episode on and for some reason this episode captured me far more than the premiere. It probably had a lot to do with the hot dog themed Quickfire and the obviously poor quality of the food.

Sorry guys, i should have edited the movie such as to include this the first time round. Someone suggested that it would be cool if those intermediate steps Dawkins talks about actually existed...well they do! And here they are. These videos are only extracts from the Blind Watchmaker Documentary, I encourage you to watch the full thing.

Last night, Sony threw a mini-bash in downtown San Francisco to celebrate the PlayStation 3 turning two. Killzone 2 played on one TV, Flower on another, and Resistance: Retribution was on a third. At first glance, the PSP station looked like folks were playing the same level the world was introduced to at E3, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that this was Resistance: Retribution running with Resistance 2 and PSP Plus functionality.

The original was Terry O'Quinn's shining moment before he became John Locke on Lost. Now, in the previously announced remake of The Stepfather, O'Quinn's role will be refilled by Dylan Walsh. According to Variety, the Nip/Tuck star will play the homicidal "daddy" who marries Sela Ward and provokes the suspicions of her kid. This time around, though, the kid is a boy rather than a girl, and cast in the role is Penn Badgley (John Tucker Must Die). Rounding out the cast may be Adrianne Palicki (TV's Friday Night Lights), who is in negotiations to play the son's girlfriend.

The original, which came out in 1987 and later spawned a sequel, was pretty cheap and cheesy, but it was a neat horror interpretation of the usual fears of step-children, that the guy who married mommy is a really terrible man. Of course, in the movie, the stepfather turns out to be a serial killer who has slashed his former families to bits due to a psychological issue stemming from his childhood. According to Variety, Screen Gems is hoping to make the redo a more-Hitchcockian thriller. Somehow I doubt it will be anywhere near as good as one of old Alfred's classics.

The Stepfather also now has a script, which was written by J.S. Cardone (The Covenant), and a director, Nelson McCormick, who previously worked with Walsh on four Nip/Tuck episodes. Cardone and McCormick were also both involved with Screen Gems' remake of Prom Night, which hits theaters in April. About the same time as that release, The Stepfather will probably be just starting filming.
