Halloween Timewaster: Someone sent me a Halloween Timewaster called Pumpkin Time along with the note that said: "Cute but frustrating." Well, Peg, you ain't kiddin'. What you're trying to do is light all the jack-o-lanterns at the same. It's not so easy as it appears. You turn some on and others turn off. I got as far as level 2 before I gave up.

Movie Passes and More: Got this tip from a fellow film critic. People always ask me how did you become a film critic. Well, actually, I kind of fell into it. What people really want to know when I dig deeper is how do they get into screenings early. Well, try gofobo.com. This Web site was "designed to help you s ee movies first and win prizes fast." It's an online community so you can share comments, but the bottom line is you can get movie passes.

Upcoming Movie Sequels: Speaking of movies, I'm updating my Den of Geek link to upcoming movie sequels (44 of them) you probably don't know about. There are two that shouldn't be made like Rambo V or Ghost Rider 2. But there are some interesting ones planned including a possible "Bull Durham 2," an "I am Legend" prequel, a "Mean Girls" sequel and two more Spider Man movies with Sam Raimi directing both. And drool alert, ladies - they're planning "300: 2. Since they all died, that will be miraculous to see how they pull off all those six packs.

Political Junkies: If you want to watch the polls or if you have a political pool at work and you're trying to predict who will win and who will lose on Tuesday, try Real Clear Politics. It has polls and politcal news from all over place.

Picture of the Day: It involves rednecks, a Confederate flag and Obama. And yet, it's not controversial... yet. I might be to someone, but I don't know to who. Maybe somebody should send it to Peter Frampton since someone keeps stealing his Obama campaign signs.

Happy Halloween from the Click Chick: OK. Here is your treat. It's a short film by Tim Burton made in 1982 - you know, back when Dallas was still on TV. Watch the short film "Vincent"...

Timewaster: Does the coming holiday season make you miss your favorite old toys? Loved my Easy Bake oven. Loved my Gabby Gayle doll. Loved my Creepy Crawlers set. But there was always the old standby you'd getting in a stocking or a goodie bag at a birthday party - the dogpaddle. Well, now there's on online game where you can play until your hearts content. Thanks to Brent C. for the Dog Paddle link...

Clever Criminal File: I have found a story that doesn't go in the dumb criminal file. It goes clever criminal file. How do you more successfully commit a crime? You get decoys. One hired decoys on Craigslist, but they thought they were showing up for a work detail. They had no clue they were aiding and abetting a crime. Read the story...

Wacky Wheels: From Automotto, I've found the 15 wackiest cars in the world. Uh, just for the record, they don't have the original factory colors and options anymore.

In an interview he said: "A young man asked me what I think of homosexual marriages and I said I think homosexuals should be executed."

Hoax Museum: Found a fascinating web site that shows some people will fall for anything. It's the Museum of Hoaxes and the number one hoax of all time was the great Swiss Spaghetti Harvest perpetrated by the BBC in 1957. That hoax was accompanied by Swiss peasants "harvesting" strands of spaghetti off trees. And yes, there's a YouTube video of the original report...

The Great Schlep: Ned Foster talked about it, so now I gotta put it up. Here's a disclaimer: Sarah Silverman is edgy, foul and occasionally offensive. So, you've been warned.
