More teasing about that greatest project ever.

I swear every other montht there is a different rumor about this book.



According to the good people over at Screen Rant screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Fringe, Transformers, 5-0) have gotten thier hands on Enders Game and are shoppping around a script. These boys as just gonna reboot everything! Honestly, I'm usually a fan of what they do and I love the book. I09 also made a comment about how the movie might be difficult to market, and I agree, the whole thing may not transfer well to the screen at all. Apparently they've got Gavin hood on board (X-men Origins) and they're making the rounds. I wonder of OSC is going to feel about this?

Battlestar: Blood and Chrome casting news!

I'll admit I never got into Caprica. The subject matter didn't appeal to me. As much as I love writer Jane Espenson (I want her career) I just couldn't motivate myself to watch it. Blood and Chrome however sounds right up my alley!

Casting news has emerged, they have cast Adama and his CO.



It's nobody I know or care about but I am excited to see this play out

Firefly Friday

Good News from TV land. Not only did fringe survive it's move to Friday nights, it won it's night AND it had a raised viewership!

By some miracle of magic or science, Fox’s Fringe moved to Friday night and did not go down in the ratings.

The episode — titled “The Firefly” (nicely ironic considering the show’s move to Fox’s infamous Death Slot) — actually improved upon its most recent Thursday performance.


GIFSoup

Fringe, which featured Christopher Lloyd as a guest star, delivered 4.9 million viewers and a 1.9 preliminary adults 18-49 rating last night. That’s right in line with its Thursday season average. Remember, Fox’s Kevin Reilly said if the show maintains its Thursday numbers on Friday, he’d renew it, so let’s hope the drama can keep this up.

Fringe has to survive... or I will be utterly lost.

New Edgar Allen Poe pilot gets pick up!

Amidst a flurry of new pilots I found this nugges of info via EW

There’s been a flurry of pilot pickups over the last 24 hours and I’ve been waiting for a truly intriguing one to kick off a rundown post and — hello — we have a winner: ABC has ordered a crime drama where Edger Allen Poe solves mysteries.

I know. It sounds like some kind of dream within a dream. But here’s the official description for Poe: “Crime procedural following Edgar Allan Poe as the world’s very first detective, using unconventional methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston.”

Thus quoth the raven: “What the f–k?”

Literary figures are actually in vogue this pilot season with a couple Sherlock Holmes projects in the works too. And thing is, I’m making fun of this idea, but I would watch Poe in a heartbeat over most other more conventional shows that make it to this stage.

Also getting picked up are

-ABC’s Pan Am project is moving to pilot. Another intriguing period drama, this one is described as “a sexy soap set against the Jet-Age, focusing on the stewardesses and pilots and their glamorous world full of exciting adventures.”

– ABC’s Lost and Found is a multi-camera comedy about “a narcissistic New York City bartender and party girl has her life turned upside down when the conservative 18 year old son she gave up for adoption shows up on her doorstep.”

– ABC’s Work It, another multi-cam comedy, is about “two out of work car salesmen realize that it is now a woman’s world and decide that in order to find work again and succeed they are going to have to dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceuticals reps. Doing this inadvertently makes them better men, husbands and fathers but also makes them appreciate the sanctuary of their guy’s nights at the local bar where they can really be themselves.”

–NBC’s Special Investigations L.A., a drama in the style of Traffic, set in the world of crime, law enforcement, and politics in modern-day Los Angeles.

While none of these other float my boat, TV is in desperate need of new blood. I've been supremely unmotivated TV wise recently and I choose to blame it on TV.

How come the are still calling it the Ausiello Files? He jumped ship months ago!

The real nominees are in

Glad to see that these nominations haven't been bought, unlike the globes. Solid group of nominees, especially in the female driven roles. The best actors categories were a joke at the Globes, glad to see that this list makes a bit more sense! This list also intensifies my need to see Winter's Bone. I LOVE John Hawkes and I just realized he's in it. Must see! Other then that the only Oscar contenders that I haven't seen that I would like to are The King's Speech, The Kids are Alright and 127 Hours. Usually I do much worse.

I like the line about how he's middle class and that he has good parents, and therefore not a great artist. I can totally relate.

Women in Refridgerators

Women in Refrigerators (or WiR[1]) is a website that was created in 1999 by a group of comic book fans. The "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome" describes the use of the death or injury of a female comic book character as a plot device in a story starring a male comic book character. The website features a list of female comic book characters that had been injured, killed, or depowered as a plot device within various superhero comic books. Also, the site seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters.
The term "Women in Refrigerators" was coined by writer Gail Simone as a name for the website in early 1999 during on-line discussions about comic books with friends. It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 (1994), written by Ron Marz, in which Kyle Rayner, the title hero, comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed in a refrigerator.[2]

Simone and her friends then developed a list of fictional characters, superheroines who had been "killed, maimed or depowered."[3] The list was then circulated via the Internet over Bulletin Board System, e-mail and electronic mailing lists. Simone also e-mailed many comic book creators directly for their responses to the list.

The list is considered “infamous” in certain comic book fan circles.[4] Respondents often found different meanings to the list itself, though Simone maintained that her, "... simple point (had) always been: if you demolish most of the characters girls like, then girls won't read comics. That's it!"

Where was I in the 90's when this was happening? Oh yes, I was a closet feminist with Dial-up.

Some great points in this article. While some of these assumptions may seem unfair, I defiantly agree that if you kill off all of the good relateable female characters, females wont wanna read these. Times have changed, especially with the success of female centric comics, like Buffy etc, but this for sure still happens.

First big news out of Cannes

Man my luck with this just keeps coming! De Niro has officially been announced as the head of the jury at Cannes this year. Hopefully I will be running into him... or at least serving him coffee. It would be so amazing if he ended up being one of the speakers I get to see this year at the pavilion. I still can't believe how lucky I am to be going on this trip. Now all I have to do is learn how to schmooze and I am all set... That or I will start having to use sex to climb the corporate ladder... maybe not.

How have I not heard of this!

A. I love Ed Helms
2. What a great concept
D. This has got to be good if even Anne Heche looks funny

New Being Human Trailer

Wicked trailers like this just make me resent remakes even more. Why are they remaking this show in the Us when the original is still on the air. Apparently people I know who have auditioned for the show seem to indicate that everything will be pretty similar. *Sigh* My new life goal is to create some original content.

Mind you I still haven't finished series 2... I should get on that

Also can we talk about Cat Stevens being the sound track for this!?!? Random
