When Seinfeld wrapped up its ninth and final season in the spring of 1998, the popular show's namesake and cocreator decided to offer a symbolic gesture to his fans. Taped for HBO in August 1998, on the final date of Jerry Seinfeld's tour appearances at New York City's Broadhurst Theater, I'm Telling You for the Last Time presents the standup comedian's so-called "final" standup, or at least his final tour with the standup material that made him famous. The video opens with a great prologue in which Seinfeld's old material is literally laid to rest, with many of Seinfeld's comedy colleagues in attendance at the "funeral." (Jay Leno is there, but David Letterman is conspicuously absent, and while it's a bit self-congratulatory to show Seinfeld's fellow comedians fighting like vultures over his abandoned jokes, it's worth it just to see Garry Shandling pilfering from the catering table like a homeless intruder.) Whether he's talking about airline flights, cab drivers, or memories of Halloween and an ill-fitting Superman costume, Seinfeld's observational humor is as timeless and sharp as the day he first performed it. Even the most familiar routines (such as the one about pharmacists with a superiority complex) are like old friends who still haven't overstayed their welcome. Seinfeld's delivery is polished to a shine--he's a consummate professional--and an impromptu Q&A with his appreciative audience demonstrates that he's equally adept with a fast and witty comeback. This performance certainly wouldn't be the last we'd see of Jerry Seinfeld, but from the perspective of phenomenal fame and fortune, it's a fitting farewell to the classic "bits" that took him to the top. --Jeff Shannon

Jettisoning his trademark slacker slapstick, filmmaker Kevin Smith offers a heartfelt comedy/drama in which a career-driven New York music publicist's (Ben Affleck) life implodes when his wife (yes, played by Jennifer Lopez) dies in childbirth. Seven years later, Affleck is working a blue-collar job in New Jersey and trying to raise his daughter (Raquel Castro) with help from his father (George Carlin), with whom the pair lives. Liv Tyler plays the sexy video store clerk (is there another kind?) who brings romance back into Affleck's life. 102 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
Jersey Girl stars Ben Affleck as a workaholic music executive who loses his wife (Jennifer Lopez) in childbirth and has to raise his newborn daughter with the help of his crotchety New Jersey dad (George Carlin). The movie unspools as if writer-director Kevin Smith, normally a highly self-aware filmmaker (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma), set out to put a fresh spin on every cliché he could imagine (parent forced to choose between child and career; parent rushing to attend school performance; etc.)--then forgot to put in the spin. The scenes that aren't lifeless are implausible (Liv Tyler plays the fantasy girl of every awkward boy's dreams). The only real feeling comes from the strong soundtrack. However, Raquel Castro, as the daughter, is an uncanny double for Lopez; when the light plays across Castro's cheekbones just so, you'd swear the casting director simply shrunk Lopez for convenience. --Bret Fetzer

From the acclaimed creators of Toy Story, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo comes a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Enjoy Pixar's landmark classic on both Disney Blu-ray Hi-Def and DVD in this sensational 2-Disc Combo Pack.Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on this way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there's more to life than trophies and fame.Revved up with a sensational soundtrack, the ultimate in picture and sound and hours of exciting bonus features, Cars fires on all cylinders in this Blu-ray and DVD pack.Features include: •MPAA Rating: G•Format: Blu-Ray•Runtime: 117 minutes
There's an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar's vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film's high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who's directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. There's the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning's plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town's patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas

Twenty-first-century science fiction fans accustomed to special-effects orgies like The Matrix may snigger at the quaint, Flash Gordon-like spaceships in Battle Beyond the Stars. But executive producer Roger Corman's belated entry into the '70s sci-fi craze surpasses expectations with sharp performances and a witty script by John Sayles (his third for Corman, including 1978's Piranha). The story, lifted wholesale from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954), finds the dictator Sador (John Saxon) threatening the planet of Akira. Its pacifist inhabitants are no match for Sador's devastating weapon, the Stellar Converter, but young Shad (Richard Thomas) decides to fight back. Borrowing the ship of notorious mercenary Zed the Corsair, he recruits a band of mercenaries, each of whom has a personal reason to join the fight. Among them are a lizard-like humanoid (Morgan Woodward), an improbable space cowboy (George Peppard), a zaftig female warrior (Sybil Danning), and brooding killer-for-hire Gelt (Robert Vaughn, reprising his Magnificent Seven role). Battle's final showdown is somewhat anticlimatic, but the surprisingly stellar cast (which includes Sam Jaffe and Darlanne Fluegel) and the indie spunk of Sayles' script, with its light meditations on death and honor, will charm newcomers and repeat audiences alike. New Concorde's digitally remastered DVD features commentary by Sayles and Terminator 2 producer Gale Anne Hurd, Battle's assistant production manager. Oh, and those spaceships? Designed by Titanic director James Cameron. Still laughing? --Paul Gaita

Here are some more information for George Carlin:

Malcolm Forbes said: "Many people overvalue what they are not, and undervalue what they are." That's another way of saying that we place more value on our weaknesses than we do on our strengths. And in that mistaken evaluation lies one of the main reasons for under achievement, frustration and lack of personal clarity.
If I asked you to list ten of your strengths and ten of your weaknesses, what comes to mind first?
Answer that question - right now. Write those ten strengths and weaknesses down.
For most people strengths are hard to describe. Weaknesses, on the other hand, seem to be much easier to discover. It isn't bad enough that we define our own weaknesses; it's made worse by all the other people willing and able to point them out to us. We see someone performing at a high level and rather than just enjoy the performance we tell ourselves we couldn't possibly do that. That may be true - but it's also true that we have other strengths - we just haven't valued them the way we should. But every time we make one of those negative comparisons, we chip away at our own feeling of worth.
My Dad used to say that the best football players never played football. That used to drive me nuts - how could you argue that someone who never played the game could possibly be the best football player? As I got older and discovered my Dad knew a thing or two, I began to see what he meant. He meant that the people who could have been the very best never played the game, Lack of opportunity, self doubt, other interests, culture, necessity, risk avoidance - all work to keep people from discovering their strengths - from playing their game. Some of those things can't be helped - that's life. But self doubt and risk avoidance can be dealt with.
How do we overcome those negative voices that create doubt and feelings of unworthiness and lack of ability? Here are nine steps to take.
1 - Adjust that habit of thought that looks for what isn't before it looks for what is.
Our daughter, when she was in fourth grade, came home in tears one day. She'd gotten four wrong on a test. When we pointed out that she had gotten 96 right, she stopped crying and it dawned on her that she'd done pretty darn good. She worked on getting the correct answers for the four questions she'd missed, but she did it from a position of success, not failure.
2 - Believe that there is plenty for everybody. Someone else's success is a cause for celebration, not a time to feel as if something was lost. Appreciate the strengths of others for what they are, and avoid making negative personal comparisons that highlight weaknesses.
3 - Interdependence is a key to discovering and developing strengths. Synergy - one plus one equalling four or five - occurs when the strengths of one person compliment the strengths of another, and the weaknesses of each person are absorbed by the strengths of the other. If you're a good speaker and presenter but a lousy administrator, your speaking strength will be leveraged by a good administrator who isn't good at speaking. It's called a win - win relationship.
4 - Think in terms of opportunity. Strengths are drawn to opportunity, weaknesses push opportunity away. If you are a consequences person team up with an opportunity person who values your strengths as you do theirs - and reap rewards that neither of you could have achieved alone.
5 - Seek out positive people that see opportunity and grow with them. Avoid the toxic people who are always seeing the glass half empty. You know who they are - they can suck the life out of even the most accomplished optimist.
6 - Take risks by reaching outside your comfort zone. How else can you find your strengths than by testing and trying new things? It could be a project at work or doing something that the late comedian George Carlin called having a sense of "Vuja De' - the feeling that you have never ever been in this place before. I had a teacher that reminded us constantly that the only difference between a rut and a grave is that a rut's longer. Don't let the comfort zone become a rut - keep pushing at it.
7 - "Aim with your heart, adjust with your head, and always do all you can." A saying from Tut The Universe. A great way to express the " Ready, Fire, Aim" approach to success. Avoid the definition of madness , "Continuing to do things the same way and expecting a different outcome."
8 - Get assessed. Discover yourself. Find out what the results of an assessment of skills, motivators and behaviors can tell you about yourself. Then use that knowledge to focus on who you are, what makes you tick and on the personal skills that you possess in abundance.
9 - Identify a hero or heroes. We all need people we can look up to and emulate. Just don't let the celebrity and strength of the hero cause you to diminish the value of your own strengths. Write down what makes them a hero to you - in that analysis lies terrific information on what you value - what you want to be.
It's easy to overlook the strengths we were born with and have acquired through experience, work, life and education. Often we assume everybody has what we have - nothing could be further from the truth The outcome of that assumption is that we underrate our unique set of strengths. Apply these nine steps to your own life and get your focus on the good things that make you positively unique and valuable. Play your game - the result will be greater success personally and professionally.

Shug, Dub, and Dabbs: What's in a Company Name?
If you recognize the words in the title as the first names of great character actors from the past, you're as much of a movie and TV geek as I am. But what part do their names play in designating the kind of roles they played?
George "Shug" Fisher was a country musician and western movie sidekick, who also appeared on such TV shows as "Petticoat Junction" and "The Beverly Hillbillies." His nickname came from his mother, who called him Sugar when he was a baby.
Better known is Dub Taylor, who played a sidekick type character named Cannonball in a number of westerns, along with many other parts in many other movies. Dub is short for "W" which is short for Walter.
The most widely known is Dabbs Greer, who played the elder version of Tom Hanks's character in "The Green Mile." He was also the fellow who was rescued by George Reeves's Superman in the very first episode of the series back in 1952. Robert Greer got his Dabbs moniker from his mother's maiden name.
None of those fine actors ever played a president or any other famous personage. Their names tell you why. Those were the days when the studios were reaping the benefits of the contract system, under which they pretty much took control of their actors' working lives (and sometimes their personal lives as well). That included choosing the actors' stage names. (Judy Garland was born Frances Gumm, so sometimes they were right.)
Whether the three actors chose to use the nicknames or the studio did, the choices dictated the kinds of roles they would play: sidekicks and character parts, not leads. The men themselves might have been able to play leading roles, but their names weren't.
I recall a George Carlin quotation: Attending college at a place called Bob Jones University is like putting your money in Nick & Tony's Bank. It's the same idea: the names need to match the desired image.
Pick a name for your company and a screen name for yourself that communicate the message you want. Of course I could mention a whole raft of aptly named companies that proved to be supremely successful, such as IBM, Alcoa, McDonald's, and Xerox. But that wouldn't be any fun.
There was once a company called Boring Business Systems, but the web site is no longer active, so maybe they wised up. If you're applying for a job as a kindergarten teacher, and your e-mail address is hellspawn666@whatever.com, no way you're getting that gig. I admit to being surprised when I first saw one of the big white trucks driving around my neighborhood with "G.O.D." in giant letters on the side. G.O.D. stands for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery.
From the What Were They Thinking? Department: I pass an auto repair garage on the way to a friend's house. It's called A- Automotive. Is A minus the grade they got at auto repair school? We'll assume that the name Triple F Pet Supplies (Ontario, Canada) has nothing to do with a grade. And for years, on Pittsburgh's South Side was a diner, standing tall and proud, called Terminal Lunch.
The Internet is rife with ill-named entities. Who Represents is a site where you can find the agency that represents your favorite celebrity. Their web site address could have done with a little more deliberation: www.whorepresents.com. Experts Exchange is a kind of clearing house where you can find links to sites relating to education, finance, business, electronics, and much more. Unfortunately, they didn't put a lot of thought into the name of their web site. www.expertsexchange.com.
An online search will turn up such improbable names as the Amigone Funeral Home, Bearable Dentistry, Bender Chiropractic, the May Pop Tire Shop, and the Fractured Prune Donut Shoppe. (Their web site is a lovely shade of purple.)
Sometimes odd names work, and even a non-word will get the job done. Can you define Activia, Advanta, Integra, or Aleve? Neither can I because they're not actual words, but they have proven to work just fine as names of companies and products.
So don't decide on your company name or screen name by yourself. For something this important, you need input from people who have less direct involvement. Run it by a few friends and let them in on the fun.
Then buy them a burger at Fuddruckers.
