Fandom Is Off The Hook

Semi-Hiatus

2007-08-18T18:03:00.000-07:00

So I haven't blogged in about a month and I'm predicting it's going to be really hard to keep up with all the things that I love (which includes blogging). It's sad but school is starting next week and I'm not only taking an insane amount of classes but I'm also working. Thank god for DVR because I'm going to have to catch up on the essentials during my sleep time or something?! I wonder which shows will have to be cut out of my lineup? I guess the truth will come out as to what my favorites are! I'll blog here and there when ever I watch something cool or find out some news that I think you all will be interested in. Here are some cool sites to visit if you want to get your online TV fix.

Comic-Con Lost Panel 07

2007-07-27T08:29:00.001-07:00

Hey guys! I'm really rushed and tired as hell so I will post a quick recap what went down on the Lost panel yesterday at the San Diego Comic-Con. Before I go on I just want to express how hardcore the fans were yesterday. The line was out of control! We must have waited for a good four hours in line to get into this panel. Anyway, as most of you must know by now, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse announced at the TCAs a couple of days ago that Harold Perrineau aka Michael would be back on the show as a permanent fixture. I guess they were a little bumed that they couldn't announce this to the fans first so we got the next best thing...Harold Perrineau himself! A girl was asking a question about Michael and if he was only going to come back in flashbacks (or forwards) and all of a sudden Harold Perrineau came strolling in. It was a really pleasant surprise, the crowd went wild. Obviously the producers/writers can't say too much without ruining the mythology of the show so they brought bells and rang them when questions went a little too far (it was really funny). They did touch on a couple of important things.

* We will be seeing a combination of flash backs and flash forwards

* The scene we saw with Kate and Jack off the island in the season finale is not the end of the series. We will be seeing MORE into the future than that!

* They will conclude Libby's story before the end of the series

* We will be finding out more about the never aging man aka Richard Alpert but we will have to wait because Nestor Carbonell is working on other projects

* We will also get a Danielle Rousseau flashback and back story before the end of the series

* They will be done writing the first 14 out of 16 episodes when the first episode of season four airs.

*There will be no breaks during the Lost season, they will air all 16 episodes consecutively.

* When asked if Jack and Claire were ever going to find out that they are brother and sister they rang the little bell (indicating that the question couldn't be answered) but Lindelof shook his head yes

I can't begin to express how nice and appreciative Cuse and Lindelof were to the fans. I'm really anxious for the new season.

More Office News-Kind Of Spoilerish...

2007-07-16T22:17:00.000-07:00

First and foremost, I love John Krasinski's old man look...so sexy. I also can't believe that we get a whole month of hour long office episodes in September! ( By The Way, I spy a very yummy bearded Jason Lee on that panel!)

MeeVee and The Office LJ community have a bunch of info about the NBC comedy press conference held today. Here is a quote from the MeeVee Article:
(John Krasinski)

"I think they've proven time and time again that if you go against the grain, you might succeed. Case in point was on 'Booze Cruise,' all that buildup to me finally being able to tell her I love her, and then just 27 seconds of silence. I mean, that was genius," Krasinski said.

Take a moment to click on the link above, It's an interesting read.

Some tidbits from a bunch of different places!

From MeeVee.com:
-Daniels is complaining about spoilers online and Krasinski says, "My bad! Needed a little extra cash! Dishing the secrets!"

-Krasinski on how a network-wide NBC "Green Week" on enviro themes will affect Dunder-Mifflin: "We're a paper company, so we're screwed."

-From Ausiello:
Office e.p. Greg Daniels believes the Jim-Pam love story "has more impact when it's not carrying the weight of the entire show." He also hints that he's not a huge fan of NBC's shmaltzy (and ridiculously misleading) Jim-Pam promos.

-From John Krasinski: Jenna Fischer has fully recovered from that nasty spill she took during upfront week.

-From TvSquad:
Are doing DVD extras a pleasure or a pain? "We over produce so much, we've got [lots of extras for DVDs]," says Daniels.

-From Ausiello:
Just scored some post-sesion scoop from John Krasinski: He confirmed that Rashida Jones would be back for a handful of episodes at the start of the season.

From Watch with Kristin:

-Rashida Jones, aka Karen Filipelli, will be back this fall. Greg Daniels and company were able to work out a deal where she’ll show up for at least an episode or two when The Office returns this fall.

-Jenna is doing fine, though still recovering from her May injury, and will most definitely be sitting behind the reception desk at Dunder-Mifflin come September, but the producers may have to go easy on her the first few episodes. Says Daniels, “Luckily Pam sits a lot on the show.”

-We’ve seen the last of David Denman, aka Roy, for the time being, since he’s been fired and is no longer dating Pam. However, he’s not dead and, according to Greg, could return at any time.

-We will see more of Ryan this season! There will be great stuff between Michael and Ryan, now that Ryan’s the boss. But sadly for Kelly, things between her and Ryan are not going well.

-Jan really is moving into Michael’s condo, and when I asked if she’ll be wearing stretch pants, Greg Daniels was kind enough to confirm.

-The hourlong episodes (announced earlier this year) will be the first four of the season, probably because Scrubs won’t be on yet.

-The season-three DVD drops Sept. 4, and Daniels says they overproduce so much, there will be about five or six hours of extras on it.

Podcasts

2007-07-13T12:52:00.001-07:00

Entertainment wise there is nothing I love more than TV. A close runner up to winning my heart are Podcasts. I used to commute ALOT, I did something like 40,000 miles in a year and a half. As much as I love listening to music, I wanted something that I could listen to on the road without worrying about static, keep me awake, and entertain me (much like TV) for hours on end. After much trial and error I found some podcasts that fit that very description. There are literally hundreds of podcasts on ITUNES but the ones I listen to the most are as follows:

GEEKS ON

It only took about five minutes to fall in love with the guys from GeeksOn. Their enthusiasm for all things geeky is endearing and infectious. They basically discuss TV, video games,movies,comics,rpg,internet,board games.... Even if the topic of the week was not something that I was particularly interested in, I would find myself listening and enjoying every minute of it. They are all really intelligent and aren't afraid of a good debate.

This American Life

I have to admit that I only started listening to this podcast out of curiosity; it was always number one on the Itunes podcast and I had to check out what the fuss was about. I sat here literally trying to figure out a way to describe American Life in a short and sweet sentence. I couldn't, I guess I'm not the only one with that problem though. This is from their website-One of our problems from the start has been that when we try to describe This American Life in a sentence or two, it just sounds awful. For instance: each week we choose a theme and put together different kinds of stories on that theme. That doesn't sound like something we'd want to listen to on the radio, and it's our show. If you haven't listened to the show, take a leap of faith. I guarantee the show will tap into every single emotion you have.

TV GUIDE PODCAST

I think the title of the podcast is pretty self explanatory. This is the perfect podcast for any TV addict. The sad thing is, I haven't listened to it since Dan left. His wit and cynicism was the best part of the podcast, listening to these guys was like reading a really snarky and funny blog. I don't know if they have that anymore. I think I have to give them another shot.

The Office Alliance Podcast

I have listened to many fan run podcasts (Smallville,Veronica Mars, Lost) but to tell you the truth I couldn't stand any of them. I really think that either you have the personality to be on the radio or you don't, it doesn't mean you have to be wacky or funny, just interesting to listen to. This is the first fan podcast that I can stand. These fangirls really know their stuff and dissect every aspect of the show until there is nothing to pick at but bones. Yeah, my kind of fangirls.

Heroes Casting

2007-07-12T23:54:00.000-07:00

David Anders (Alias) is just one of six new actors cast in the next season of Heroes. And yes, I really loved him on Alias. I'm really glad he got cast.

Anders will play the most intriguing part, that of the ancient samurai warrior Takezo Kensei, Hiro Nakamura's (Masi Oka) childhood hero.

Others cast:
Pop star, Eriko Tamura will play a princess.

Barry Shabaka Henley will play Detective Fuller, a New York police officer.

Holt McCallany will play Ricky, the ringleader of a group of Irish thugs.

Lyndsy Fonseca (HBO's Big Love)will play a cheerleader from Sourthern California.

Dianna Agron (Veronica Mars) will also play a cheerleader.

Battlestar Galactica TV Movie :Razor

2007-07-12T12:33:00.000-07:00

Oh hell yeah! This preview makes me that much more excited about the SD Comic-Con panel that is in a couple weeks. Here is a preview to Razor the Battlestar Galactica TV movie.

Plot summery from Wikipedia:
According to IGN, "the movie will indeed focus on an untold story about the Battlestar Pegasus, and feature Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) ... While this story with Cain occurs before she and the Pegasus crew joined up with Galactica, the entire cast of the regular series will appear in the movie, as the Pegasus portion is portrayed via flashbacks"[2].

Ronald D. Moore has stated, "The story will be set on the Battleship Pegasus and will take place in the past, relative to where we are in Season 3. But the events set up in that story will then pay off in Season 4."[3] He added, "One of the story lines everyone had really liked was the Pegasus story and the character of Admiral Cain, so we decided to go with that."[4] Moore has also said, "We'll try to reassemble most of the Pegasus cast."[5]

Clark And Michael

2007-07-11T10:58:00.000-07:00

If you guys haven't watched Michael Cera's new show, you are totally missing out. Don't worry though it's not in the traditional TV format and it's readily accessible. Michael Cera along with his best friend Clark Duke star in CBS's original web series in which they also write and produce. It's basically about two friends trying to make in in Hollywood. It's really funny and they update new episodes every Wednesday. When I first heard about this show I was really excited because I love Michael Cera and his character on Arrested Development. The thing about loving a TV character so much is that the actor associated with that character has a lot of pressure on them to a) help create an equally loving character or b) disassociate themselves so they wont be type cast. Thank goodness that this show didn't disappoint. Maybe it's the love I have for the mockumentry format or the awkward random jokes? Either way, check it out. Each episodes is a little under 10 minutes, and crazy funny. Is none of this convince you check out the picture below. Enough said.CLARK AND MICHAEL WEBSITE.

From the Herald Tribune:
"We were just trying to make each other laugh," Duke said. "And sometimes it does feel like it's just a big in-joke between us." A 10-minute pilot version was shot for Duke's college thesis and eventually found its way to Matt Kaplan, the online content supervisor at CBS Interactive. "Clark and Michael," with its low-tech aesthetic, mockumentary feel and potential to attract Cera's college-aged fan base, immediately appealed to him. Still, the network intentionally kept the "microseries" off its Innertube Web site because it thought placing the show at another location would better appeal to the show's younger demographic.

So without commercial sponsors and focus groups, "Clark and Michael" unfolds in weekly bursts of 7 to 10 minutes long, filled with the awkward silences that Cera likes so much and plenty of absurdist low-key mockery of life on the show-business fringe, including one scene in which Cera, after having a script rejected, cries in a bathtub and refers to a well-known screenwriting guide.

"We didn't originally think of this as being for the Internet," Cera said. "We were thinking more like it being something on Adult Swim," on Cartoon Network. "But it turned out exactly how we wanted it to be."

Besides "Superbad" and "Year One" he will also appear in "Juno," an independent film comedy directed by Jason Reitman and scheduled for release this fall. Although he doubts there will be any more "Clark and Michael" episodes, he's not ruling them out, mostly because he's not sure what he's going to do next.

"I'm very afraid to make decisions," he said, "because I want the people who liked 'Arrested Development' to like whatever I do next. I don't want to let them down. I think too much about every decision I make." And then there's a too-long silence. Kind of uncomfortable. Cera was probably pleased.

1-18-08 Better Quality Trailer

It looks like all the bootleg copies of the trailer for "Cloverfield" or "Untitled 1-18-08" have been taken down, including the one I linked on this blog. Paramount has however put up a better quality trailer up on Apple Trailers. The Bad Robot logo at the beginning of the trailer gets me really excited because it reminds me of LOST. This better not turn out to be a piece of shit movie. The noise though does resemble the monster from lost...and the font for 1-18-08 looks like the font for the numbers.

T-Bag Scares Me

2007-07-10T00:04:00.000-07:00

You know how there are actors that no matter what you just link them to their TV counterparts? Robert Knepper aka T-bag from Prison Break kind of does that for me. Knepper plays such a convincing spine chilling bad guy that it is hard for me to separate reality from fantasy. OK, so maybe it's not THAT bad, but I once saw a picture of him in a magazine and the article was about his family and life and all I could see was a cold blooded killer. He's that good. I read an online article today that talked about how T-bag was going to get meaner! I don't know if i can handle that!

Article:

T-Bag has played a major part in season one’s main plot and has stirred in a different direction in season as a separate subplot. So far, his crimes include battery, assault, attempted murder, murder, rape, and kidnapping. However, according to Knepper, none of these acts can compare to what’s in store for his character in season three. Driven by his disappointment at failing to have the family he so desired, T-Bag is about to become even meaner.

“I call the writers and asked, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ They said, ‘You thought you saw Teddy being a madman before, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet’,” the Prison Break actor said.

Kelly Kapoor Strikes Back!

2007-07-09T23:41:00.000-07:00

A tad spoilerish for those who are squeamish or who haven't watched the season finale. Yeah, I really love Mindy Kaling.

ARTICLE: THE BOSTON HAROLD
Get ready for the revenge of the ditz.

Mindy Kaling, lovable, overly enthusiastic Kelly on NBC’s “The Office” (Thursday at 9 p.m. on WHDH, Ch. 7), revealed what viewers can expect when the series returns for a fourth season in the fall.

As viewers recall, in the final moment of the May season finale, Ryan (Newton native B.J. Novak) unceremoniously dumped Kelly after getting a big promotion.

“I think that Ryan is in for it,” Kaling said recently. “I don’t think Kelly would even know where the phrase ‘hell hath no fury’ is from or even know what that means, but we’re going to see that literally enacted upon Ryan, which I think is going to be funny to see. My character is kind of such a sweet ditz, so to see her be scorned and turned into Medea will be really fun and a challenge as an actor.”

Kaling, who is in town visiting her family in Cambridge, is a writer on the series. Even though her contract included a performer clause, she initially wasn’t sure she would be on the series, let alone part of an ongoing story line.

“B.J. is a writer and we would spend 14 hours a day writing, and then I think (executive producer) Greg Daniels noticed our dynamic and thought it was funny because we squabble a lot as writers. And then I think that it was because Ryan was almost too straight as a character. He didn’t have a lot of adversity in the office. So to have this character be completely smitten with him made his character a little more interesting.”

The Dartmouth grad believes Ryan and Kelly bring a dose of reality to the series. “Everybody loves seeing Jim and Pam and identifies with them and unrequited love. But I think more people than would want to admit are actually like Kelly and Ryan, where you’re in love with somebody but you don’t realize that you’re being stalkerish or unwelcome,” she said. “We always say we’re like the real couple, the most realistic couple on the show, and that Jim and Pam are like this wonderful beautiful fantasy.”

While on vacation here, Kaling was busy writing the sixth episode of the season.

“We get to see a character who we think is no longer going to be on the show any more,” she said cryptically. “Someone who we think is long gone. They make an appearance so I was excited about the script.”

Last season, her parents played Kelly’s parents in the episode “Diwali,” which she wrote.

“My parents loved it so much,” she said. “Every time I’ve come home since then, they’ve been like, ‘When are Kelly’s parents going to make an appearance again?’ It was very funny for them to play these really supertraditional Indian people. It was as much of an exaggeration for them as Kelly is for me.”

Portia Is No Longer Unemployed

For some reason reading this snippet of information reminded me of the episode of Arrested Development where Lindsey gets a job offer (hair commercial) so she goes shopping and sleeps through her first day (thus, spending money she doesn't have). God, I miss Arrested Development. Anyway, Portia De Rossi is coming back to our small screens. Unfortunately it's not in anything nearly as good as AD. From Entertainment Weekly:

Portia will be one of many guest stars to appear on the new season of "Nip/Tuck". She will play the mother of an emo teen, "She's witty and confident and she's gay, which is really exciting." says Portia of her character.

I used to LOVE Nip/Tuck but after last season I couldn't bear to waste my time with that trash. Yeah, I turn on you quickly. And since when did middle aged journalists (I'm assuming) start describing teens as emo? Good for Portia though, at least now she can buy Ellen a gift and take pride in paying for it herself. I just had a vision of being a kid and buying my parents gifts that were from "me" but really wondering how they could possibly be from "me" if they paid for it. I was a strange kid. SOURCE

UNTITLED 1-18-08 Websites

Remember when I was telling you guys how crazy J.J. Abrams' was making me? Well here are a couple more things to get the wheels turning.
Acording to Coming Soon.net:
Three official sites for the movie have been discovered (see links above), one of which includes a set of five games you have to complete in order to get a key word needed for an event that will happen on August 1st.

Yeah....I can't read it either!!! Below I copied and pasted an entry to the Ethanhasswaswrong Blog. What the hell.Those sites mentioned are Ethanhaaswasright.com

and 1-18-08

Visit the sites if you want to be confused or rip your hair out. I opted just to be confused because lets face it, growing your hair out is a bitch.

Yet Another Shia Post

2007-07-09T22:24:00.000-07:00

Are you guys getting sick of Shia yet? I'm not. Here are some scans from this months Vanity Fair.
Interesting facts about Shia:
* He grew up in Echo Park (yes you read that right)
* His father was a clown (literally) and a drug trafficker
* His mom was a Ballerina and his Gpa escaped Nazis in Poland
* He [shia] along with his father would dress up like clowns and sell hot dogs on the streets
* At age 10 he was doing stand up and calling agents himself
* He threatened a neighbor with a knife and got arrested
* He broke up with his first real love after dating for 3 years (he couldn't devote time)

I thought the article was interesting but he kind of strikes me as a person who stretches the truth in order to tell a really good story.

Kristen Bell On The Big Screen In FANBOYS

2007-07-09T10:45:00.000-07:00

Cult favorite Kristen Bell wont let her TV show cancellation get her down...thank God. She is making a leap to the big screen as one of the leads in a new movie called FANBOYS. I'm actually excited about this. I'm not sure what her role is but I'm assuming she is playing a "fangirl". Rarely do we get to see females in the roles of fangirls (unless it's about cute boys) because generally speaking I think It's men who get submersed in the geek culture. I'm not sure why that is but the girl/boy geek ratio is really off. I really hope I'm not wrong because if she is playing the annoyed girlfriend I will be disappointed. Kristen Bell has done a great job of picking strong female characters (Veronica Mars), so here is to hoping she portrays us [geek girls] accurately. It also stars Jay Baruchel who I thought was really funny in UNDECLARED.

Plot Summary: In this riotous new road movie from producer Kevin Spacey, a group of friends who are avid Star Wars fans travel west to see the Holly Grail of all sci-fi movies, "Star Wars: Episode I." The year is 1999 and for these death star dorks, the Star Wars films are more than just movies; they are a way of life. So, after one of the group takes sick it is nothing short of a moral imperative that the friends break into George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch to watch the seminal sci-fi picture together before its release. Enlisting the help of an estranged friend, who has traded in his Darth Vader mask for a proper day job, the adventure lays way to some extremely funny situations, including an outrageous brawl with some hard-core Trekkies.

J.J Abrams' Likes To Play With Our Heads

2007-07-09T01:01:00.001-07:00

J.J. Abrams' is seriously going to be the death of me. Not only did he create the most mind boggling show in TV history but now he likes to mess with us while we are at the theater. It's not enough for him confuse us in our homes but now he does it while we are waiting for [insert movie] to play. I recently saw Transformers as most of you know and they played a preview for something that seriously left me saying "what the frak"??!! You can watch a really crappy bootleg version of the trailer below.

In a similar fashion to the LOST fandom, fans of Abrams are flocking to the internet trying to put the pieces together. Yeah, I got suckered into this mess too. As you can see, I couldn't save the pictures from the official website (1-18-08) so I used the ever handy print screen button on my computer. Why even have a website if you can't click on anything! What could this movie be about? Godzilla? War? The monster from Lost?

2007-07-09T00:40:00.000-07:00

You guys are going to read tons of posts on Comic-Con in the weeks to come, so get used to it. It's literally the only time of the year where I feel like everyone around me is as crazy and obsessed as I am. I chase that feeling.

Thursday

It's Countdown Time: Comic-Con Edition

2007-07-08T23:56:00.000-07:00

Oh my God, you guys! Only 16 more days until my favorite time of the year- San Diego Comic-Con! I'm so excited that I'm not sure what to do with myself. I not only have the privilege of living in one of the most beautiful cities in the United States but also in the city that hosts the largest comic convention. Last year, I got to see some amazing panels (Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Family Guy, Kevin Smith, Snakes on a plane, Grind House, Superman through the ages, etc) but I also waited for and missed one of the biggest panels of the year(Spiderman)(it was my fault, a little something called starvation). For those of you who have never been to Comic-Con don't let the name fool you. Although it's roots still lie in comics (originally the convention primary focused on comic books)over the years it has expanded to feature many aspects of pop culture. There is literally something for anyone who is a dedicated fan of sci-fi, television, movies, horror, anime, fantasy, video games, toys, etc. Last year was also the first year the convention sold out(Saturday) which makes me really nervous. People have taken notice that this event isn't only for "geeks" although I would really like to keep it that way. The convention center is HUGE, I'm not sure what the capacity is but I'm sure it's an insane amount. Geeks have an advantage over non geeks though; we are pros at standing in line. See, we get really excited about things and genuinely love whatever we are fans of with real passion, standing in line for hours is something that we have mastered and expect. I was talking to my boyfriend today and I mentioned that on Thursday night [at the con] they are going to premiere Superman Doomsday
and the first thing out of his mouth was "I don't care what happens I'm camping out in that room ALL day". Good thing I was planning on it anyway because the LOST panel is in that same room earlier in the day.

SuperBad Trailer

2007-07-08T23:32:00.001-07:00

I'm Excited For SuperBad

2007-07-08T23:12:00.000-07:00

Release Date: August 17th

I love Michael Cera more and more as the days go by. For those of you who watched Arrested Development (if you haven't stop reading this and go buy it at Target) he played the cousin loving teenager; George Michael Bluth. His new movie coming out called 'SuperBad' was written by Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Freaks and Geeks) and produced by Judd Apatow (40 year old virgin) and looks hilarious. If the people behind this are any indication of what is in store for us, then I'm really excited. Anyway, Michael Cera has some of the best comedic timing I have ever seen. He plays the role of the awkward teenager so perfectly that he makes you believe that maybe he fumbles his way through real life. I doubt that is the case though. Here is a summery of SuperBad via AOL:

'Superbad,' a coming-of-age cautionary tale about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school. Theirs is a ridiculously dependent friendship -- but now they've gotten into different colleges and are forced to contemplate life apart. Evan (Michael Cera) is sweet, smart, and generally terrified. Seth (Jonah Hill) is foul-mouthed, volatile, and all-consumed with the topic of human sexuality. This is the story of their misguided attempts to reverse a lifelong losing streak with the ladies in one panic-driven night... that awful, humiliating night you cherish for the rest of your life.

Check out this funny picture I found of Michael Cera online (yeah, he's the kid in the background)
It gets me every time.

FOX News Does It Again: Blames Mr. Rogers for "Entitlement"

2007-07-07T10:07:00.000-07:00

Fox news and some whack job of a professor are blaming dead Mr. Rogers for kids false sense of entitlement. First off, why is fox news reporting this? I have the great excuse of being a television blogger, but what is their excuse? We already know that Fox news is full of idiotic douche bags that don't think before they speak; but blaming a man who is synonymous with wholesome educational entertainment is just a low blow. Here is a recap from THINK PROGRESS Blog:

“Why is it at the end of every term, these kids who on the bubble…they come in and beg for extra credit so they can get an A?” Citing a report by a university professor, Fox speculated one possible answer: “Blame Mr. Rogers! Because Mr. Rogers had an optimistic message where everyone was special even if they didn’t deserve it.” During the segment, one chyron read: “Mr. Rogers’ Mixed Message: ‘You’re Special.’” Another chyron asked: “Is Mr. Rogers Ruining Kids?: Sense of Entitlement.”

Seriously guys, I'm disgusted. There are so many fallacies in their arguments that I don't even know where to begin. How can you blame a sweet dead man or any person for what you might think are inadequacies of todays youth. Is it really that bad to be a couple points away from a grade and ask if there is anything that can be done to EARN those measly points? Doesn't having a feeling of entitlement mean thinking you deserve something without working for it? The moronic professor who conducted this so-called study and the anchors at Fox news should be ashamed of themselves for trying to find a scape goat in Mr. Rogers. Next thing you know they will be blaming Mother Goose or Sesame Street for underage drinking or teen pregnancy.

Best. Advice. Ever.

2007-07-06T11:20:00.001-07:00

An open letter to the cast of License to Wed from the lovely people at Best Week Ever.

LINK
Best Week Ever Blog:

So License To Wed came out this week, opened to dismal box office numbers, and will soon be consigned to its rightful place between Failure To Launch and You, Me And Dupree in the pantheon of movies that will only be seen at 2am on HBO2 by people who are too wasted to change the channel. While I certainly haven’t seen the film (and God willing, never will), I do have some friendly advice for its three leads - Mandy Moore, Robin Williams, and John Krasinski.

Mandy Moore - I don’t really know who you are, but you weren’t terrible in Entourage and you’re easy to look at. Knock it off with the wholesome rom-coms, get naked in some artsy Sundance flick, win your Best Supporting Oscar, and go be a movie star. You know this is your destined path, so quit wasting everyone’s time and show us your boobs already (in the name of art, of course).

John Krasinski - Alright, Kras (can I call you Kras?), here’s the deal - we all love you. Your character on The Office is hilarious, charming and has single-handedly redefined what the average white American woman finds attractive in a man (finally, they’re realizing that funny is far more important that traditional attractiveness - thank you for this). So anyway, because we love you, we’re willing to forget this disaster of a movie ever happened.

We understand that you took it early in your career, before you were sure about what kind of phenomenon The Office would come. You were just glad to be offered a movie role, and that’s fine. But take it from David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and the guy who played Joey - we won’t be so forgiving in the future. You try to pull this “silly Robin Williams romantic comedy” crap again, you’ll be dead to us. Dwight Schrute is pretty funny, too, you know? And with Ryan the Intern taking over as boss, you ain’t the only game in town, pal. So bend over, take your swats from Will Ferrell’s paddle, and get initiated into the Frat Pack like a man. (Also, if you and Pam and are gonna do it, f*cking get it over with already, we’re getting sick of this Ross & Rachel bullsh*t.)

Robin Williams - I know you won’t listen, but I’m obligated to say this anyway: for the love of God, Robin, please stop. Please. Your wacky mad-cap hijinx ceased to be funny somewhere between the time you stopped doing coke and we realized that’s just the way you are and Mrs. Doubtfire, and they ceased being even remotely tolerable around Patch Adams. The few times you’ve allowed yourself to dispense with the zaniness (Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting), we’ve generally liked you, which is why I was disappointed to learn your next two films are Old Dogs (from the director of Wild Hogs, and co-starring John Travolta - yay!) and The Krazees (yes, with a “K”) about “a psychologist whose emotions come to life as different characters”. Played as a double feature, these movies could get a terrorist talking faster than a torture chamber at Gitmo. Awesome.

Bored? Love Satire? Hate Paris HIlton?

You will thank me for THIS. A commentary of sorts on our tabloid obsessed culture.

Capt. Mal to Join Desperate Houswives

2007-07-06T01:19:00.000-07:00

Sci-fi geeks hearts are breaking as we speak. Our beloved Captain Mal from Firefly and Serenity is joining the cast of Desperate Housewives next season. Before anyone busts out with a dagger to stab themselves with or calls him a sellout, think clearly and rationally. yes, Desperate Housewives probably stands for everything that you hate about entertainment but think of poor Nathan Fillion. The poor guy can't catch a break! Mr. Fillion has been trying to find his niche in TV and has been very unsuccessful at keeping any of his jobs. He couldn't have been more perfect for the role of Capt. Mal on Firefly but people and fox weren't smart enough to see how good and funny that show was. His new show Drive lasted for about three episodes before they pulled it off the air. I'm sure the man needs some form of income so he can pay his bills and be a functional member of society. Cut him some slack and support him because we all know how great he is to his ever growing fandom.

My Love Is Not Unconditional: Adam Brody Edition

2007-07-06T00:44:00.000-07:00

What the hell happened to Adam Brody?! I used to have the biggest fangirl crush on him back in his early OC days. I never thought the day would come when I would renounce my love for him and toss him aside like yesterdays news. Look at him! He has just turned into this really greasy, unkept, dirty LA hipster.What the hell is up with that atrocious pornstache? Ever since Rachel Bilson broke up with him he has gone downhill at the speed of lightning. they were so cute on and off screen. It's too bad that he doesn't shower anymore and is probably on the verge of being addicted to (insert your substance of choice). Check out these classy pictures of him making out with god knows who...
Remember the days when he was really adorkable and clean? The days before he was jaded or exposed to the Hollywood life? The days before The OC sucked? I guess there is always reruns and old youtube videos to remind me of the good ol' days. Hopefully he finds a girl that will inspire him to shower, shave, and put some Visine in his eyes.

Even Stevens Marathon!!

2007-07-05T23:48:00.000-07:00

Set your DVRs people! There is going to be an Even Stevens marathon this Saturday at 2pm on the Disney Channel. I'm guessing that you all think I'm about 10-11 years old but rest assured I'm just nostalgic and shameless. Looking at this picture of Shia really makes me feel old. My friend Dee is such a pedophile for thinking he was hot when we were in high school...look at him! He looks like a baby, I'm just kidding I think he took longer to develop than most(he is only two years younger than us).

The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly-License to Wed

2007-07-05T13:16:00.001-07:00

The Good- you get to enjoy John Krasinski's hotness for 90 minutes

The Bad- The movie isn't very funny and it has a lot of WTF moments.

The Ugly- Robin Williams is really ugly, I mean annoying.

Now that a few days have passed and I am out of my John Krasinski rose colored glasses, I can blog about what I thought of License to Wed. I'm not ashamed to say that I love cheesy romantic comedy's aka 'romcoms'. If Mandy Moore is in it and it's a chick flick count me in. I even liked Because I Said So! That is why I was so excited when I heard that my TV boyfriend was filming a romantic comedy with Mandy Moore. In this alternate universe where my guilty pleasures roam free could it possibly get any better? There always has to be a draw back though and they came in the form of Robin Williams and the script. Don't get me wrong, I laughed and had a really fun time watching the movie but it's not enough for me to urge you to see it. The sad thing for me was that I never really figured out whey Ben (JK's character) was so in love with Sadie(MM). I just couldn't buy their never dying love, I also didn't like how irrational she was towards him. I watch these movies so I can laugh and be really girlie about perfect couples that don't really exist, not to watch a grown woman nag at her boyfriend, I do that enough for both of us. I really do think Ben was a saint for sticking through as much garbage as he did. I couldn't help but be reminded of how much Jim loves Pam and how great they are together. Ben and Sadie wished they loved each other half as much as the star crossed lovers on John's TV show.
(I didn't photoshop that but I wish I did, it's hilarious)
I have never liked Robin Williams or his style of comedy so I was nervous about him playing the unconventional pastor on LTW. To his credit he wasn't as over the top as he usually is but he wasn't funny either. His character was just so creepy and cringe inducing that I thanked my lucky stars that there was two other leads in the movie.
Onto the good? Most of the laughs came from John Krasinski's perfect comedic timing and the rest of The Office crew that made cameo appearances. Seriously, I was laughing so loud that I thought that any of the other 20 people in the theater were going to throw trash at me (yeah it was pretty empty) I also have a tendency to laugh really loud anyway so my laughter might not be a fair assessment to the comedy.
The scene stealer by far was Brian Baumgardner aka Kevin from The Office. Every scene that he was in was hilarious and perfect. There was also other short cameos from Mindy Kaling and Angela Kinsey; other than making me laugh these appearances really made me want to watch new episodes of The Office. There was also some really funny moments with the hideous robot babies that I'm sure everyone has seen in a promo or two. If you asked me whether you should spend ten bucks of your hard earned money to see LTW or wait for rental I would say- It depends. If you are a full fledged Hussy and want to see John Krasinski on a movie screen in all of his lanky glory, then pay 10 bucks and enjoy yourself. If you are selective about what movies you will shell out money for, then wait for rental. That was a little harsh but true. I don't think this will tarnish John's career or reputation at all. If anything this movie shows how funny he can be with the material that he is given. I also think it helps that his next movie coming out stars George Clooney and not Tom Green or any other has- been comedian. Let's face it no one stood a chance against the monster that is Transformers.

Here is a picture of John Krasinski and Angela Kinsey being cute and friendly at the License to Wed premiere in Los Angeles.

One of the best parts of the movie, the blooper reel ( a shortened version anyway)

Transformers and a Little Actor Named Shia Labeouf

2007-07-05T12:15:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel like a 12 year old boy stuck in a 23 year old womans body. No joke. This feeling happens every so often when I geek out, or in the month of July. Yesterday I saw a little art house flick called TRANSFORMERS, have you heard of it? To sum up my experience of the movie in two words or less...IT ROCKED! Yeah I'm really eloquent. Seriously, the special effects were unbelievable and Shia Labeouf's character was really likable and funny. I swear that kid has really outdone himself; who would have known that the little awkward kid from Disney's Even Stevens would have turned out to be such a handsome leading man. His Co-star Megan Fox on the other hand is a horrible actress. I understand that she is smoking hot and kind of slutty looking (isn't that a requirement for an action movie babe?) but the director could have found an equally attractive woman to play the love interest of Shia. Am I right? I mean pretty girls are a dime a dozen in Hollywood but genuine talent is rare.Eh who cares, Shia would have stolen the scenes from her anyway*.
OK going back to feeling like a 12 year old, there was moments in the movie where I just wanted to raise my fists in the air and scream "yeeeeeeahhh Kick his butt" "This is sooooo AWESOME". I restrained myself out of respect for my boyfriend, but I'm telling you guys,I was THIS close. If you haven't seen it you really should. Watching this movie in the theaters is an experience in itself. I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a really long time. I felt like my 10 bucks were well spent. I did however have to wait like 2 hours in a theater for the movie to start. We are hardcore like that(remind me never to go to the movies on the fourth of July).

Here is a picture of Shia the beef (Labeouf) and a very classy Megan Fox being nothing but friends at the MTV movie awards.

Do you guys remember David Silver aka Brian Austin-Green from 90210? Well Ms. Fox is engaged to him. Good luck to them, really.

* I swear I'm not being a hater towards MF because she is gorgeous, although I would kill to have a body like hers. She is just a really bad actress.

ABC May Still Make a Play for Football Wives
ABC Studios has extended its options on the actors associated with Football Wives, the BBC-adapted sudser pilot that was not picked up at the May upfronts, suggesting the network may tackle the project after all. One of the Alphabet's highest-profile pilots this development season, Football Wives stars Gabrielle Union, Lucy Lawless, Kiele Sanchez (sigh, Nikki...), Ving Rhames and James Van Der Beek. Should ABC ultimately "pass," sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that several other networks, including NBC and Fox, have expressed an interest in it.

For once I feel like someone is on my side. I hate when people get on their pedestals and preach about how pop culture is making us dumb. In my opinion, TV is at the peak of it's game. With shows like LOST, Battlestar Galactica, and The Office TV is no longer JUST mindless entertainment. It helps develop our critical thinking skills and doesn't force feed us what THEY think WE should think is funny. Have you ever noticed how The Office doesn't have laugh tracks? As an audience we are smart enough to make the decision to laugh or stay silent. The Office creators recognize that. Have you ever stayed up at night trying to figure out what EXACTLY is going on in the world of LOST? The creators of LOST have constructed a show that is extremely complicated and interlinked;the only way to make sense of anything is if you dig deep inside your brain and use your organizational skills. That my friends, is harder than it sounds. It's kind of like playing a game of memory for years at a time. Back to discussing the book.......

In no way is Johnson trying to tell us that playing video games or watching TV is better than good old fashioned reading, but he tries to tell us what benefits we may get out of engaging in activities that were once considered mind numbing . Like I said, I haven't read the whole thing so I might come back and redact this post, but I get the overall feeling that I wont. For now though give it a shot. You might be entertained. Thanks for letting me rant.

In the name of everything that is good in the world, buy Friday Night Lights on DVD.
You wont be sorry-trust me.
From DVD Times:

Universal Studios Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Friday Night Lights: The First Season on 28th August 2007 priced at $29.98 SRP. Expanding on the feature film "Friday Night Lights," this series centers on the small rural town of Dillon, Texas, where the coveted state football championship rings are held in the highest regard. Dillon's promising high school team, its star quarterback, and newly appointed head coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler, "King Kong," "Grey's Anatomy") feel the mounting pressure of the town's pride and honor riding on their shoulders as a new football season kicks off.

Not only is the coach so- hot- it- hurts, the drama and story lines are so realistic you will feel like you are in the middle of a small town in Texas (unless you already are..in that case I recommend you buy The OC Season 1). As much as I love sports related media; this show is more about interpersonal relationships than football.

John Krasinski Picture Spam

2007-06-28T23:30:00.000-07:00

Did you guys fall in love with John Krasinski after watching that Conan clip? Are you looking for the yummiest pictures on the web? Do you need to be convinced that he is the cutest thing ever? Cuter than THIS picture? Then you have come to the right place! The following are a bunch of random new pictures of the wonderful JK. I can't imagine why my boyfriend doesn't want to watch License to Wed with me? Enjoy!

Let It Breathe, Shia

2007-06-28T23:15:00.001-07:00

Don't get me wrong, I love Shia Labeouf; but let the Jew fro free!! Why does he insist on slicking his hair back like a sleazy pimp? He looks like he belongs in the Gotti family or like one of Tony Sopranos thug nephews. Either way, he is still the hottest thing to come out of Disney! Take that Britney! My friend Dee and I have both been looking forward to July 3rd because both of our boyfriends (Shia and John Krasinski) have movies opening that day. I get the feeling that her "boyfriend" is going to make more money at the box office. Just a hunch.

There is just something about a man with eyebrows like caterpillars that does it for me. Seriously, I know I'm the minority here but Jesus-how can you NOT fall in love with such a hairy creature. Here is Zachary Quinto and Kristen Bell at the SICKO premiere.
Kristin Looks cute, but who cares about her! Just Kidding-I love you Veronica Mars! I know Zachary isn't the most gorgeous man ever but I'm so in love with his eyebrows and arm hair that I look past everything else. OK guys, I'm officially a weirdo.

Man Vs Wild

2007-06-25T20:54:00.001-07:00

I feel like a lazy bastard when I watch Man Vs. Wild. I'm a pretty picky eater, and claim that I am starving when I haven't eaten for like four hours. How the hell does Bear Grylls (not his real name) do it? Man Vs. Wild is a survival show on the Discovery channel. The man eats anything and everything to keep himself alive. I recently saw him on Oprah, and gosh darn it, if Oprah endorses him than I'm game! The funny thing is that I have always heard how Oprah has this immense amount of influence on people and popular culture today; I am now officially one of those people. Yikes.

Yes, That video is not fake. Poop!
Not only is Mr. Grylls Christian Bales sexier, manlier, long lost cousin;he's enthusiastic and quite a personality. He kind of reminds me of a subdued Steve Irwin.
My only complaint with Man Vs. Wild is that every so often I am taken out of the show because I'm wondering:

A)Does the cameraman starve himself along with Bear or is he eating beef jerky and drinking Gatorade while poor Bear Grylls eats maggots?

B)Does the cameraman carry a sleeping bag and a temper-pedic pillow, while Bear sleeps on rocks?

C)Did Bear really drink his own pee or was that lemonade flavored Crystal Light?

Either way, the show rocks my world. Check it out. MAN VS. WILD

I have to put a huge disclaimer before I post the following video. I'm warning you men, women, children, and the elderly will all fall in love with John Kraskinski after this interview. Hurry up and watch it before the nasty NBC people take it off of YouTube.

Um? Shall we recap! Best line of the night "oh, you bleed... that's weird" a very honorable mention " I'm sure he watches a lot of office though, he wants to turn over..." and the simultaneous "but he can't"! Sweet baby Jesus was that good! Like any great obsessed fan I have heard some of those stories before but let me tell you, they never get old. I really liked the George Clooney story and the great imitation of Sarah's crazy friend. You can't go wrong with Conan but if you add a little Krasinski things just get out of control in a way that makes me feel like a crazy person. Did you fall in love? Do you have a crush now? Are you googling Krasinski and looking at You Tube interviews now? I thought so. Proceed with caution though ladies and gents, it can get a little consuming.

My love for Daniel Manu...

2007-06-24T16:25:00.000-07:00

Who the frak is Daniel Manu you ask? Is he some hunky new upincomer that was featured in peoples sexiest whatever? Is he a funny new addition to The Office crew? Did he get some hot TV star pregnant?
Actually no to all of the above. He is the new director of two of my favorite websites Brilliantbutcancelled.com and Televisionwithoutpity.com, check them out! He also used to be the Editorial Director for TVGUIDE.com and my weekly savior in the war that is the Monday morning commute. What the hell am I talking about you ask? I don't even know myself! All I know is that I miss him very much. You see, I used to listen to The TVGUIDE Podcast ( HERE ) like it was nobodies business. Dan used to open and close each podcast and somewhat moderate what went on during discussion.He had this sort of self deprecating humor that I love in people. After listening to the podcast all year long, I looked forward to hearing his opinions about all of my favorite TV shows, not to mention listen to him say very inappropriate things. It was on my trip to Yosemite in the middle of freaking no where that I got the bomb shell news that he was no longer going to be part of the podcast. I literally screamed as my boyfriend looked at me in sheer horror! Ever since he left the podcast I haven't listened to a single episode. I don't know if I can. Dan is seriously the BEST shit talker ever. If you are going to talk shit you have to be quick on your feet and witty, otherwise you just sound like a fucking asshole. He mastered the fine art of shit talking only like a few can. Not to mention he is the biggest comic book, TV, and pop culture geek (by his own admission). The rest of the trip home I introduced my boyfriend to my love for Dan and we proceeded to listen to the podcast for what must have been four hours.

If you guys are as bored as I am or looking for something TV related to listen to go to Itunes or TVGUIDE and check out what I am talking about. If you don't want to instantly become his BFF or geeky girlfriend then you can come back and talk shit. Just a reminder he left on episode 101 so anything after that is sans Dan.

Another Reason to Hate Fox...

2007-06-24T15:44:00.000-07:00

I have to admit that no matter how busy life gets I have to watch TV. The thing I love about half hour (usually works out to 22 min) comedies is that you can watch them with little commitment. I guess it's kind of like going on a date for the first time; you can stay or ditch out depending on how it goes. I fucking love Judd Apatow (freaks and geeks, 40 year old virgin, knocked up)! I have known for a long time that he created another failed TV series after Freaks and Geeks but like the douche I can be I didn't give it a shot. See, I'm not a fan of the college sitcom; I actually think that Saved By the Bell the College Years ruined me on them forever. After watching Knocked up a couple of weeks ago my love for this comedic writer got awakened and I decided to give UNDECLARED and shot. I don't understand how the FOX network can live with itself! What the fuck FOX seriously? Really?!! They go and cancel one of, if not the best TV show of all time (Arrested Development) and continually cancel great original creative comedies (firefly anyone?). Granted, Undeclared isn't as good as Freaks and Geeks but it still makes me laugh, which says a lot. Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jason Segel Kind of own the funny. I haven't finished watching the 16 episode season but I'm pacing myself because there is nothing worse than knowing that it is over.

Summer Blows?

2007-06-24T15:36:00.000-07:00

Alright guys, so the summer blows for TV addicts. I mean the only thing I really have been watching is reruns and the discovery channel (we will get to that later). Other than that I am busy being productive and going to school. God, what is that right? I haven't updated in forever because all my favorite shows are on hiatus and I'm a lazy bastard. I decided that today would be the day that I update on what the hell is going on in the fandom world and what shows,websites or books (yes books!) you should check out to help you get through the long summer months.

The temp got the job and I got my Jam fix

2007-05-18T00:19:00.000-07:00

I'm going to start off this entry with the scene from last nights OFFICE finale that I along with many other people had been waiting for.
The Jim/Pam storyline came full circle and I couldn't be happier. I was convinced that nothing was going to happen on that front and thank god I was wrong. It's very late and I should be in bed but I think I'm going to blog and watch CSI instead. So do you guys think that Jim left Karen stranded in NY? The evil girl in me really hopes so but I doubt it maybe he called her on the phone and was like "we are dunzo I'm asking Pam out"! Probably not but what we do know is that he didn't drive back to Scranton with Karen in the car. If he didn't break up with her I'm sure she will have to break up with him because he rushed home just to ask Pam out on a *date*. I was also glad that we saw a flashback to Jim's response to Pam's speech in the Beach Games Episode. Totally sweet. Can I also comment on how CUTE Jim looked with his new non homeless man haircut! For you haters (yes you know who you are) I am still sticking to my guns that JIM/JOHN is one cute mother-fer! I know this isn't the Jim and Pam show but I really can't help myself. I really loved Pam's look when Jim asked her out. The Office is very unconventional in the way they tell a story so I really hope that for once in TV history the writers don't feel like they have to break up a couple to keep people watching,after all people do watch for the comedy and not the angst (we have Grey's for that). Did I say Comedy? Bring it on bitches. Ryan is now the big boss!!!! I can't wait until the office finds out! This plot changer is going to guarantee some amazing laughs. My favorite Comedy scene was when Dwight and Angela were talking in the break room about consolidating power. Man oh man. I'm sure I will post more thoughts,videos and pictures from the season finale as the days go by because with the TV season finally wrapping up I have to find interesting ways to get my fix. Viva la JAM.
P.S
For those who haven't watched the UK version here is a clip that holds many similarities to the Jim/Pam ending for this episode. Viva The Office.

WORST FINALE EVER....

2007-05-17T23:51:00.000-07:00

Grey's Anatomy was a joke. There was absolutely no development in the plot or with any of the characters. I seriously don't know what to say other than it sucked and I wont miss it this summer. Screw it I'm glad The Office is taking over the 9o'clock time slot because frankly I wont be watching it live ever again. Dramatic much? Yes but come on the only moment that pulled on my heart strings was the last scene with Cristina but other than that ALL of the characters got on my last freaking nerve. What is wrong with all of them? I think it was officially the worst finale of the night and I still haven't watched the other three I need to get to.

Finale time!!!

2007-05-17T11:40:00.000-07:00

Alright so I'm in a better mood now! I am so fickle anyway Thursday nights are always tough for me because so many shows come on that I don't know which to pick. It feels like picking a favorite child!! Actually I wouldn't know because I don't have kids but you get my drift. Tonight is a little different though because they are all having their season finales. What will you be watching tonight? My picks for watching shows LIVE are THE OFFICE and CSI..or Greys ahh I don't know. Everything else will go on my DVR. I still have time to think:)

THE OFFICE 8-9 Smallville 8-9 Grey's Anatomy 9-10
CSI 9-10 Ugly Betty 8-9

Veronica Is Dead.....

2007-05-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

Today is a sad day. Veronica Mars has been officially cancelled. Today at the CW upfronts Dawn Ostroff the head honcho of CW announced that Veronica is officially dead. According to TV guru Ausiello she says she's "talking to Rob and Kristen" about doing something else. She's not calling it a spin-off, and wouldn't say whether it would feature the character of Veronica. Say what??? Whatever they plan on doing the truth of the matter is Veronica is gone and all the characters I loved are gone as well. VM was such an amazing show because it was fun and had one of the best female leads on TV not to mention they had tons of pop culture references that I could relate to (bsg anyone). Either way I hope the season (now series) finale next week does the show justice. Too bad people didn't give the show a chance I will never forgive The Pussy Cat Dolls for making VM look worse by beating them in the ratings.

I want a side of Jam please! haha I feel 13..

2007-05-17T00:34:00.000-07:00

I feel like a 13 year old girl who draws hearts over her I's (who am I kidding I still do that shit)! I am so excited for tonight's season finale of THE OFFICE! This season has been FULL of angst for the Jim/Pam relationship. Honestly they are my favorite TV non couple but I would rather see them as friends and pulling pranks on Dwight than crying and acting all sad and crap. Of course I wouldn't object to Jim breaking up with that tramp of a girlfriend he has going and hooking up with fancy new Beesly but alas I don't think that will happen. Alright so who on earth is going to get the job in NY? Jim,Karen or Michael? My guess is Karen but that kind of seems to obvious right? The thing that bugs me about that scenario (it's about the only thing because I want them to get rid of her) is that she doesn't seem to have much experience and everyone else vying for the job seems to outrank her. Either way it seems like in all the interviews I have watched and read about the season finale someone is getting the job in NY and JAM fans shouldn't be expecting anything because unlike last year this year the finale is all about Jan and Michael. Whatever, I'm excited either way and it should be a fun hour of TV watching. Don't forget the show starts early 8oclock and it's an hour long! Woooohooooo. Do you think Dwangela will be outed? Will Kelly end up pregnant? Will Kevin get married to that lady that doesn't really like him? Thank god this finale is a lot less stressful than the LOST one because let me tell you I will probably not be able to sleep after I watch next weeks LOST.

To keep with the 13 year old theme I have going I'm posting this insanely funny teeny bopper video someone posted at an OFFICE community. *Warning* It features the most annoying song on the radio right now and my 10 year old niece LOVES IT. Enjoy

Poor Pam!

2007-05-16T14:56:00.000-07:00

So I set my nifty new DVR to record Conan last night because none other than Jenna Fischer (Pam) was set to appear last night. This morning I got ready to eat my breakfast and watch some Conan and to my surprise she was no where in sight which left me wondering what had happened? Well read ahead.

POP CANDY BLOG
"I've been hearing that Jenna Fischer got hurt recently, and I was wondering if you had heard anything or knew someone to ask ..."

Unfortunately, there's some truth to that rumor. Fischer's rep tells me the Office star "fractured her lower back in four places" in New York Monday after falling down some marble stairs in high heels. Her pal and co-star Angela Kinsey "has been with her the whole time" and her husband, filmmaker/actor James Gunn, has flown to be with her.

He added, "She is expected to make a full recovery and will not miss any time on The Office."

After last night's episode of Veronica Mars I totally became a cull fledged convert to the Piz/Veronica love shipper! Yeah I know I'm totally pathetic but I can't help it I think they are so cute together. Girlyness aside I think she will be stupid and take him for granted because It seems like the nice guy never wins. Why is it that Girls in general always go for the bad boy? Thank god I have learned better because trust me It always ends in heart break. I'm very excited for the TWO HOUR season( maybe series:( finale). Here are some descriptions and video for the finale.They are Spoilerish so beware:)
Official CW Description:
VERONICA'S SEX TAPE MAKES IT TO THE INTERNET - Weevil (Francis Capra) is arrested for selling fake debit cards to Hearst students, but claims he is being framed because of his criminal background, and asks Veronica (Kristen Bell) to clear his name. On Piz's (Chris Lowell) radio show, Keith (Enrico Colantoni) debates Vinnie (guest star Ken Marino, "Reno 911") about the upcoming election, while a tipsy Dick (Ryan Hansen) apologizes to Mac (Tina Majorino) for the way he has treated her in the past. Veronica and Piz make up after their argument about spending their summer apart, and a mysterious sex tape of the two finds its way to the Internet. Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs and Julie Gonzalo also star. Jason Bloom directed the episode written by Phil Klemmer (#3T5819).
Official CW Description:
VERONICA DISCOVERS THE ORIGIN OF HER SEX TAPE - Furious that Logan (Jason Dohring) attacked Piz (Chris Lowell), Veronica (Kristen Bell) tells Logan she wants nothing to do with him. Parker (Julie Gonzalo) confronts Logan about still having feelings for Veronica, while Piz assures Veronica that he had nothing to do with the sex video. Veronica, with Weevil's (Francis Capra) help, investigates how the tape originated and discovers a person from her past is linked to The Castle and pays them a visit. With the re-election campaign nearing, Keith (Enrico Colantoni) steps in to protect Veronica. Percy Daggs, Ryan Hansen and Tina Majorino also star. Michael Fields directed the episode written by Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero (#3T5820).

Looking Snazzy

2007-05-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

Here are the cast of Friday Night Lights looking all kinds of snazzy. How I do LOVE Kyle Chandler! You can catch up with the entire first season for free online at NBC.com

October Road has been renewed. This show is seriously really bad but I have seen all 6 episodes so far!!! Seriously I can't begin to express how fug the cast (minus the chick from that 70s show) and boring the show is. ALL I want is to know that Nick is the baby's daddy. Anyway it will play on Monday nights after Dancing with the stars concludes it's season.

I love technology

My new DVR has forever changed the way I watch TV. I no longer a slave to my TV! For a TV addict like myself I was living in the stone ages. I was also spending way too much money on ITUNES downloading whatever TV shows I had missed the night before. Not anymore! I have had DVR for two whole days now and I can easily say that other than my ipod and computer it will used to it's full potential. BEST.THING.EVER

Will they? Wont they? Tell me so I can A)move on B)Wallow in my misery until I find out.

Maybe this WONT be the end for Battlestar.
May 14, 2007 - Last week, Edward James Olmos was quoted as saying the coming fourth season of Battlestar Galactica was definitely the last one. Now one of Battlestar's executive producers, David Eick, is saying that might not necessarily be the case.

On the SCI FI Channel's website, scifi.com, Eick is quoted as saying, "For those of you who have been paying attention over the years, this is not the first time Eddie has made an announcement about the possibility of the show's end. I promise you that when [executive producer] Ron [Moore] and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know."

Besides Olmos's more firm comments, Battlestar actress Katee Sackhoff also said the acclaimed show "might not go anymore" in an interview with iesb.com. And in an interview IGN conducted with Jamie Bamber earlier this year, he also speculated season 4 would likely be the last. At this point it seems that there is a good chance season 4 will be the end for the series, but it's not a certainty, and Eick doesn't want to make an official announcement until they are absolutely sure.

With all the bad news coming out about some of my favorite TV shows it's so good to have great news.

Here are some pics of the cast today at the NBC up fronts.Can I say that I think that Angela looks AMAZING in these pictures. They all look like the freaking hotness.

Don't you hate when someone asks you which news you want to hear first the good or the bad? Of course you want to hear the bad because now that you have been informed that there is bad news how can you enjoy the good? Anyway I have good news and bad news! Which one do you want to hear first? Alright the bad. Friday Night Lights has officially been moved to (drum roll please) Friday night. The good news, it's not canceled. Why is it bad news that a show that ironically enough has Friday in it's name is moving to that night? It's the place where shows get moved to die. Who actually watches TV on Friday nights? Even I a self proclaimed TV addict usually go to a movie and dinner (or something date like) with my boyfriend. Thank god for DVRs but the question is do DVRs count with ratings? I'm glad that I get to experience more FNL but will it get the boot midway through the second season if the ratings drop? Anyway if you haven't watched Friday Night Lights you need to go on NBC.com and watch the entire season for FREE!!! I watched it after the season was over in one long marathon (OK it took like 2 days) but it was well worth it. Trust me.
PS. Kyle Chandler is a sexy mofo even in this picture above.

I'm so sad

2007-05-14T10:54:00.000-07:00

This is a totally WTF moment for me. I did NOT see this coming. There is no official word that BSG has been cancelled but Edward James Olmos pretty much confirmed it in an interview with IF Magazine. This whole time I have been worried about Friday Night Lights and Veronica Mars being cancelled when I should have been preparing myself for the loss of one of my favorite shows ever. I thought Galactica was a sure thing. To read the whole interview go HERE

Battlestar Galactica CANCELLED.

iF MAGAZINE: What’s coming up for season four?

EDWARD JAMES OLMOS: It’s fantastic. I think they’re going to discover some very important issues about what the fan base really, really wants to see and what’s to understand about this show. We’re heading into the final season. This is the final season as we speak. All of us are very saddened by that, but we always knew there was going to be a conclusion and we would find Earth, so we will be finding Earth this season. I wish it would [keep going]. I could do 10 years like this season. I think that this is some of finest usages of television that I have been a part of in my life. Bar none. I’ve been doing this for 42 years. I’ve done some really good work in television and motion pictures but there really is nothing like this show. I can honestly tell you that this is one of the finest dramatic pieces work on humanity I’ve ever seen in my life.

What the crap??!!!

2007-05-09T23:45:00.000-07:00

SPOILERSWhat the crap was up with Lost?! It was a GREAT episode but I'm still recovering from the shock of it all.

Questions that arose during this episode

Is Locke really dead?

Who the fuck is Jacob? Why is he invisable? Is he really invisable?
Why hasn't Alpert aged?

Can Ben get any more evil?

What happend to Annie? They couldn't just show her and not tell us what happend right?

Who came up with the idea to kill off the peeps from the Dharma Initiative?

Questions answered
How Ben got on the island.
The beggining of the Dharma initiative(kinda).
As always Lost has left us with more questions than answers.

Monday=the beginning of D-day

2007-05-09T23:24:00.000-07:00

Monday the 14Th is the day all the major networks start announcing their fall lineups. Do you know what that means? That is also the day when they announce who ISN'T coming back. Hopefully Friday Night Lights comes back because if not I will be forced to watch season one over and over again and that can't be good for me. Do you think they will make The Office an hour long? Who knows but I will update as I find out.

PS. October Road (as cheese ball as it can be) is rumored to be coming back.

Win/Win

2007-05-07T06:33:00.000-07:00

After much speculation that LOST would set an end date official news finally came through. Lost will end after three shortened seasons. Instead of the regular 22 episode long seasons they will be shortend to 16 episodes. The show is set to end in the 2009-2010 season.

GMMR
Also on board for the duration are Executive Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. It was Lindelof and Cuse who actually asked the network for an end date for the series during the Winter TCAs earlier this year. Looks like they got what they wanted, but with a little compromise with the guys paying the bills over at ABC.
ABC Entertainment President, Steve McPherson, think this is a smart move for both the show and the network: “In considering the powerful storytelling of ‘Lost,’ we felt this was the only way to give it a proper creative conclusion’.

“I always said that we would allow the series to grow and give viewers the most compelling hour possible,” he added. “And, due to the unique nature of the series, we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout, and to give the audience the payoff they deserve. ” McPherson added.

CNNMoney.com posted an article today on NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker. Toward the end of the second page of the article is an intriguing tidbit about The Office:
At NBC’s “upfront” presentation to advertisers on May 14, Zucker says he expects NBC to unveil five new programs — three dramas, one comedy, and one reality show — for its fall schedule. Zucker and Reilly are considering stretching The Office to an hour and canceling the original Law & Order

Are you going to watch?

2007-05-03T14:36:00.000-07:00

As most of us know already Kate Walsh AKA Dr.Addison Shepherd is getting her very own show. Tonight they will be setting it up in a 2 hour episode of Grey's Anatomy. At first I was upset about this change but I have to admit that I'm going to watch in hopes that it doesn't suck. I just hate commiting to shows and then 10 episodes later finding out that they are getting the axe. Here is Kate Walsh on Live with Regis and Kelly.

Family Guy for the win!

2007-05-03T13:49:00.000-07:00

Someone with a crap load of time on their hands made this video showing how Family Guy steals all their crap from The Simpson's. I watched it and I can see the similarities but I don't see how this is concrete proof of anything. If you get two shows of the same genres that have been on the air for more than two seasons I bet you anything that you can find at least 4 examples where they use the same story or premise. I LOVE Family Guy because it literally makes me laugh out loud and I'm sad to say the Simpson's doesn't do that. With that said if I had to choose between the two I would go with Family Guy all the way.

What the crank did Entertainment weekly do to the hotness?

2007-05-03T13:10:00.000-07:00

The hottest cast (Lost is tied with these foos) on TV is on FIVE covers of Entertainment Weekly. Normally I would be thrilled but there is a problem. The people over at EW did something funky with their photoshop because there is something wrong with all the covers! Adrian Pasdar(big bro Petrelli) looks like a freaking gargoyle! Greg Grunburg(Matt Parkman) looks like he wants to kiss Peter (which is the only one who looks the hotness)! The cover with Claire and her dad looks a little romance novel-esque and the one with Sylar and the old dude is just confusing? Why did they lipo sylars face? What the crank is going on! The cover with Ali Larter looks fine I guess but she will always remind me of the slutty cheerleader from varsity blues so I say BARF. My biggest complaint though is with People magazine and what they did to Mohinders Hair. Guys with curly hair should not straighten it. The end.

Gilmore Girls Cancelled

2007-05-03T12:46:00.000-07:00

From Variety
Say goodbye to "Gilmore Girls."
After weeks of talks aimed at bringing the show back for a limited run next season, the CW and Warner Bros. TV have decided to wrap production on the quirky dramedy that focused on fast-talking femmes. Skein, now in its seventh season, will air its final episode May 15.

I don't follow Gilmore Girls but I do watch it every time I flip the channels and it's on. I know there's a lot of people who are going to be sad because I listen to TV GUIDE podcasts every Monday and theres a crap load of letters the peeps at TV Guide receive about Gilmore. Anyway the show is good and had a great run (7 years) hopefully they will do it justice and give it the send off it deserves. They should bring Jesse back right? Too bad Milo Ventimiglia is busy saving the world and shit on HEROES. RIP Gilmore Girls!

An interview with Rob Thomas

2007-05-02T09:50:00.000-07:00

No not Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20! Rob Thomas is the creator of Veronica Mars. He recently had a chat with Kristin from the E network to set the record straight about the rumors going around about our VM!

From E!ONLINE:
Welcome, Rob Thomas! So glad you could be here.
Glad to do it!

Okay, first things first, what are you hoping to do with season four of Veronica Mars?I'd like to take Veronica right back to where we left her at the end of season three. We're pleased with the way season three ends. We really made an effort to set up great season-four storylines, and we did not give the network an easy way out in terms of ending season three with a bow—with a "there it is."

I smell a cliffhanger.
Yeah, we left the Mars family in some predicaments. We're hopeful that we get to come back and play those out.

What can you tell us about the episodes coming up? There are five left, correct?Correct. Paul Rudd is in the second, and he plays sort of a decrepit, aging rock star who was in a hot band 10 years ago and now has trotted out to tour college campuses just to earn enough money to survive. Piz is the person assigned to guide him through his trip to Hearst College.

What else?
We also have an episode about a guy who writes a book about his experience of being a child soldier in Uganda, and I wrote the episode largely because Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas) has been very involved in this Invisible Children cause. He first gave me information about it, and then Kristen Bell became very involved in it, yet it turns out to be almost exactly like the Oprah Book Club book about this child soldier. Then in the finale, we have the election for sheriff coming up, and Veronica and Keith, they both struggle at the end of the year. There's a bit of a return to the social status they had in season one, by the end of the year, that I think we get to in a really interesting way.

Now, we have some fan questions, if you don't mind tackling them. Ivan Jukica wants to know: Is it true that you are planning this as Logan's last—meaning if there were a season four that Jason Dohring would not be back?I'd like everyone to be back. Certain people we have in one-year deals, which I think is sort of widely known, because you've seen them cast in other shows. So, there are actors if you pay attention to, you know we aren't necessarily going to get back or get back in lesser parts, but I love Jason Dohring. My first choice would be to have him back for every episode next year.

Is he under contract for next year?
Oh, yes. Oh, yes, he is.

Interesting...
And the finale is named "The Bitch Is Back." We've taken some criticism for making Veronica too mean this year. People have found her mean at times. I am sort of a fan of her prickliness, and so "The Bitch Is Back" is our comment on "Oh, you thought she was mean? Here is what Veronica looks like when she is mean."

Sara Pryor: Are Piz and Veronica actually going to get together? Because that would be soooo adorable.I don't know how much I want to spoil on that, but they certainly have a journey and I can safely say that yeah, they develop a romantic relationship in these last five episodes.

Jennifer Humphrey: If the CW does not pick up Veronica Mars for another season, would you pitch the new format to a different network?That sort of thing rarely happens...I don't think it's likely. I think it could have been a possibility going in another direction—say we were on ABC and only had 5 million fans, and we were the exact CW demo target. Possibly it could have worked in reverse, but I don't think there is much hope going the opposite direction.

But it seems like you would seriously consider a movie?I still have story left to tell, and I'm thinking about a movie. We've got 3 million devoted fans, that's a $30 million movie if we just get our fans, and we can shoot a Veronica Mars movie for $15 million. So, yeah, I'll pitch that.

I'm sure if you started an online campaign you could get $15 million, no problem. I think I would personally pitch in and all the fans would pitch in. You can hold me to that.Yeah, fan-financed movie—that would be an original one!

Anything you want to say to the fans before we head out?We're still alive, we're still kicking. Certainly, the decision about Veronica Mars will be made in the next two or three weeks, so if you have a desire to send postcards or fly banners above CW headquarters, now is the time

I don't want Sylar to die

2007-05-01T23:28:00.000-07:00

I really should hate Sylar but I don't. They eyebrows make me love him! I have this thing for big strong eyebrows and his have hypnotized me into wanting him around. I should start a fan club for Peters hair and Sylars eyebrows. Here are some previews for next weeks episode. Did you all love how Bad ass the characters were last night? Especially Peter (but where was the hair)!

I know I'm old for this shit but Disney gets me everytime

2007-05-01T22:49:00.000-07:00

I was on one of my favorite sites and they had pictures of BEANS from Even Stevens! All I can say is OH.MY.GOD. Poor unfortunate one didn't grow up to be a handsome young man like our beloved Shia. Actually I'm wondering if he is "special" because that would be fucked up of me to talk crap about how ugly he is. Oh well. Moving on.

Now I KNOW I'm too old for High School Musical shit and let me tell you I haven't watched it but bitches at ONTD are obsessed with Disney and I have a 10 year old niece who has Disney on rotation 24 hours a day. Is it just me or is that Zac Efron kid everywhere these days. Disney would NOT approve of this kind of behavior from their actors. I always thought he was gay so maybe this is a cover up because he desperately wants to be straight? The dude has a hot body though. Before you all start calling me a Pedo I have to say that Efron is the same age as my boyfriend so suck it. Wait does that still make me a pedo? I will never post anything about Disney again.....minus Shia oh and Boy Meets World.

Betty looking hotter than that Ano

2007-05-01T22:42:00.000-07:00

America Ferrera totally fills out that dress better than that 80 pound model. America recently told god knows who "I think it’s hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy,” America has said. “Come on. They’re not curvy; they’re small. I’m curvy.”

WORD SISTA' bitches wouldn't know curves if it hit them in the face. Those girls look small on screen imagine what they look like in person. For more of this "curvy" bull shiat check out the 100 most beautiful People issue of People mag they have a section dedicated to the "curvy" woman. Its a total joke.

Hayden looks cute I guess I better not talk shit because she will cry or something. She told People Mag that she reads blogs and shit and gets upset when she sees mean things. I swear up and down she is sleeping with Milo from Heroes yeah I know its nasty but it's just a hunch. Was that mean?
