truly glorious

i am a big whedon fan myself but i am not fond of a fair bit of his stuff (angel season 4, most of buffy season 6, first half of dollhouse's first season) but bufyy and angel in its pomp still are some of my favourite tv series 've ever seen. buffy in its seventh season had arguably run its course but angel's 5th season was excellent and i was pissed when it was cancelled.

and for mr seven. whedon would occasionally contribute for buffy and angel scripts with out being credited for it.

looking forward to cabin in the woods. you can probably guarantee that i'll be fawning over it once i see it on tuesday. just a shame it was delayed by MGM going bankrupt

Sky have just announced that the jason issacs show 'awake' will be coming to sky atlantic.

just a question for anyone who watches it. its been getting great reviews from every outlet i can see but its chances of a second season seem very slim. is it still worth watching anyway?

well derek wasnt very funny apart from plikington's rant about wanting to throw out tat in to a skip. i predicted the ending and what was going to happen. found it quite moving but that might have just been the music. even with gervais trying his best to show emotion towards the end.

i did get a bit teary at his speech in the extras special though

there were some warnings on twitter that some reviews were giving way various important points.

but bugger them i'm really looking forward to it

New Johnny-5 will be threatening

The thought of the director of Alvin And The Chipmunks and Hop reimagining cute, big-eyed robot Johnny 5 for a Short Circuit remake may leave you fearing the worst, but if Tim Hill’s interview with the LA Times is anything to go by, maybe he isn’t planning to make the movie into a cuddly, cheesy, kiddie-friendly romp.

 

“I’m tempted to go back and grab the original,” Hill admits, regarding the design of his robotic star, “but I think it has to be closer to what modern design actually is. There are computer models and labs developing real machines like this… You’ve got to find the balance between something fierce and something endearing. The original was cute. But no one was threatened by it.”

 

The new Johnny 5 will created from modern warfare technology, including unmanned drones.

 

“The thing that makes it so relevant is that we live in this age of robots, particularly when it comes to war,” Hill continues. “We have drones that do our fighting for us, do all these jobs men and women don’t want to do. And that’s what makes this so interesting; things like this moment in the story when Johnny realises he’s going to be disassembled and contemplates death, and whether it’s right to terminate someone else.”

Sin City 2 to start shooting this summer

A dame to kill

the 4th and 5th season of lost are fantastic. and the 3rd season has one of the best cliffhangers in recent memory. i enjoyed most of season 6.

she pops up in mad men once in a while as well

preview for this week

Chicks and america shirt

sky channeln 157/virgin 193 (i think)

i'll be watching again. save them all up on the sky+

its from a review. its just the best clip i could find

Just started watching DOA. In the first 10 minutes there's a Holly Valance fresh from the shower action scene, which pretty much makes it the greatest film I've ever seen.

 

I've watched all the Holly Valance bits on Mr Skin. Let me know if anything else good happens.

 

There is a pretty sweet fight scene where Holly and some other lass who is very nice to look at basically beat the crap out of each other fightclub style in the rain...... what more could you want?

Sting, Jake roberts and Hade Vansen????

I really liked Studio 60 as well. been dithying for ages over whether i should get the dvd. Great cast playing intriguing characters. early on the show is excellent but towards the end it gets very very dramatic from what i remember and the "show" was barly mentioned at all instead focusing on situations that would just come out of nowhere plus a heavy focus on religion for some reson.

been a few years since i watched so i will probably get the series cheap someday and see if it still holds up.

anyway here's the trailer for sorkins next show

puts the Hogan/Bischoff taking over the timeslot rumour to bed then

must admit i wasnt expecting much but i laughed at lot at this. especially the song

Just when you think Hollywood couldn't get any crazier

"Twins" sequel "Triplets" in the works

Arnie and devito to find out they have a brother. and the random name generator has it as being eddie murphy. i'd have thought this would be news on sunday

I was quite surprised by the hunger games when i went to see it. the performances across the board are very good. It's jennifer lawrence's movie and she is amazing but the older cast are all fantastic. Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and especially Stanley Tucci (who was almost my favourite) are great in their roles. Donald Sutherland with his small role has a great impact

it could do with a higher age rating as well to be honest just to accentuate the violence. theres an obvious reason why they went with the lower rating and the violence can be quite brutal but the shaky cam they use for most of it is dissappointing and the weakest aspect on the film. its a great satire on reality television with the events surrounding the games with the people ocherstarting the games and the public who enjoy/are horrified by whats going on. the games themselves suffer from the fact that a few of the kids are basically "red-shirts" and aside from it getting too dark to see at times (frustatingly at one point) the game delivers.

the comparisons to twilight will be there as this is aimed primarily towards teens but this has much better actors (Donald Sutherland for christs sake) and a better story. there's a love triangle but one of them is barley on screen(guess theres more in the sequels). theres a couple of things i didnt get (havent read the books) but i enjoyed it and im looking forward to the sequel as ive no idea what will happen. although the ending gives me a slight idea.
