But he bounces back when asks about his fathers turn as Professor Dumbledore .on the red carpet during the premier of Harry Potter.In Top Nerd News the big story is the Writer's Guild of America has gone on strike. The effect is almost immediate when it comes to Late Night Talk shows, but it will be a slow burn on Cable and Streaming Platforms.

Finally, how much money are we really talking about at the end of the day? Skungy's Pick of the Week is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Other than a gigantic 1st day download with patches, updates, changes etc it's apparently a very good game. They've listened to the players and made changes for the better.
