According to BTTF.com, Las Vegas has just started receiving the new Back to the Future Video Slots. Interesting that my last two articles involved the demise of Back to the Future The Ride and slot machines. It's like two kids are walking down the street, one carrying the BTTF The Ride article and one carrying the slot machine article. Then, like the old Reese's Peanut Butter Cups commercials, the kids trip, fall into each other and BAM!, everything is all mixed up into something new, different...and DELICIOUS.Also of note in the above article is that Christopher Lloyd reprised his role of Doc Emmette Brown for the live action segments which were also overseen by writer/director/producer Bob Gale.

Quick Note #2:
I watched a preview of NBC's new show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It's by Aaron Sorkin who created Sports Night and West Wing. It doesn't premier until Sept 18, but Netflix is shipping out early preview DVDs as a promotion. I watched it last night and the show, in a word, is incredible. I didn't really get into West Wing like I wanted to, but I did love Sorkin's Sports Night which showed the behind the scenes drama of a sports talk show similar to ESPN SportsCenter. It starred Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman and was fun to watch. Studio 60 is very similar to Sports Night in that it's behind the scenes of a sketch comedy show similar to Saturday Night Live. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford play a famous writing duo who are asked back to Studio 60 after being fired because the eccentric show's creator melted down during a live broadcast. The writing is sharp and funny and the actors are brilliant. I can't wait until this starts airing during the regular season. I will definitely start watching it.
