Are you so stuffed from Thanksgiving Day leftovers that all you can do is sit in front of the computer screen and stare? 
No problem! Head on over to G-POP.net for a lot entertainment and very little required movement! 
LOL! Here's what's new this week:
Reflecting On Thanksgiving Day - A rewind of an article by Melissa Minners discussing just what Thanksgiving Day means to her.
Excerpt: "Thanksgiving Day means many different things to many different people. As we grow older, we learn that the tale of the very first Thanksgiving Day we were told as children was a fabrication of sorts... Alll those tales of turkey served at the first Thanksgiving Day feast were also hogwash. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoags more likely ate fish, eggs, corn, vegetables, and fruit. In fact, turkey didn't become a Thanksgiving mainstay until the 1860s. Tom Turkey was safe all those years! Who knew?! Are we jaded because historians have begun to shed some light on the holiday? Hell, no! Thanksgiving Day still remains one of my favorite holidays of the year!..."
Casino Royale - Ismael Manzano reviews the newest Bond film starring Daniel Craig as the new Agent 007.
Excerpt: "I was never a big James Bond fan. I'd watched some of the Pierce Brosnan's Bond films with lukewarm admiration and some of the Sean Connery Bond films, which I always found more than a little campy but great for its time. My interest in the Bond films was passive at best, but I still kept my ear out whenever a new title came out, to see if they did something worth watching or even new. Such was the case with this latest installment of the Bond franchise, Casino Royale, with Daniel Craig as the new James Bond..."
First Impressions: ABC's Daybreak - In this installment of First Impressions, Jon Minners gives us his first thoughts about the new ABC network action series, Daybreak.
Excerpt: "Every week, I look forward to Lost, but in what has become a new and actually intriguing practice, most major networks are giving their top shows a multi-week repeat-free run in the beginning of the season before giving the show a break and replacing it for some time with another show that they would like audiences to give a try..."
Azumi - Jon Minners reviews the DVD release of the action film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and distributed by Asia Vision.
Excerpt: "When Asia Vision first launched earlier this year, the heavily touted manga-inspired Azumi was its flagship title, released in movie theaters as other Asia Vision fare were released to the masses on DVD. But as America braces for the holiday season, the long awaited commercial release of the Azumi DVD is here, providing fans with an opportunity to discover what all the hype is about..."
These Girls - Justine Manzano reviews the dark comedy starring David Boreanaz.
Excerpt: "Sometimes, I let my designs on a certain actor get the better of me, and I begin to follow them. Not for real—I'm not a stalker, for crying out loud! I simply have to watch every television show and movie they bother to produce. This addiction has already proven troublesome in the past. It was the reason behind me watching The Crow: Wicked Prayer which was a rather painful experience—even if it starred my absolute favorite actor, David Boreanaz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Bones). Yet still, I could not help it—I bought These Girls, Boreanaz's latest movie with a clear conscience—and I was surprised..."
Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart) - Melissa Minners reviews the new classical music release from Paul McCartney.
Excerpt: "Searching for a composition that would set the seal on a new concert hall for Magdalen College Oxford, Anthony Smith, then President of the college, commissioned Sir Paul McCartney. Although Paul McCartney has an enormous musical background, this sort of composition was something new for him – a "great learning experience." Having never had any formal lessons in composition or notation, the process was quite challenging. Eight years later, Ecce Cor Meum was completed..."
Random Acts of Ismael and Badseed's Bottomline are all new:
Random Acts of Ismael: If I Was Rich - "As many of you know—seeing as you are all so closely entrenched in the comings and going of my life, being such devoted fans—I am not rich, probably as far from rich as I could ever handle being without blowing my head off. And as a non-rich person, my every waking day and night is spent imagining what I would do if I was blessed with wealth and fortune. I ran through the boring stuff of helping the poor and buying my family homes real quick. But since I didn't get rich when I promised the fates that I would do only good with the money, I got more creative. This is a more accurate account of the inner workings of my mind. So without further ado—If I Was Rich, I'd…"
Badseed's Bottomline #399: One to Go: Anything Goes - "Hey yo! The PPV I was waiting for all year left me bewildered, wondering if I got what I paid for. Damn, Genesis was just weird. The matches were great, but the storylines still have me scratching my head. It was a total mixed bag, but I felt the action in the ring really pushed this card over. The stories; they were very questionable..."
