Television Graveyard- plot 4, Manimal

30 May

I was inspired to dig up this posts old television series when a UK friend asked on twitter if it had been a real show or just a figment of his imagination. It was indeed a real show. And one that I remember fondly. No matter how ridiculous the plot actually was.

For Your Earholes Only — Podcasts Worth Checking Out

26 May

Stewart here…

I don’t know if this is telling of my age, but commercial radio is just uninteresting to me these days.  On the other hand, I discover new music (and relisten to old music) via the Internet.  As a result of my Internet searches, I discovered podcasts about six years ago.  For you not in the know, podcasts are pretty much audio programs on a particular subject, often with hosts who are fans or as become the case recently, with noteworthy Hollywood talent behind them.

Let’s talk about SPOILERS!!!

24 May

No, seriously, I want to talk about spoilers.

I haven’t made it to see Star Trek Into Darkness yet. Nor have I watched any of the last 2 years of Doctor Who. However, due to people not grasping what a spoiler is… I know details that I shouldn’t.

So what is a spoiler? Continue reading

Whoa! Pilot Season already?!?! Time Flies!

20 May

I’ve been trying to follow the pilots that were announced to see if there were any that I’d be interested in for the fall. I don’t think any of my series are ending this year so there isn’t a lot of free space for new shows, but I do like to try things out. Now that the networks have announced their schedules and the upfronts have happened, let’s take a peek at which shows I’m hoping are worth my time in the fall. I’d love to hear which shows you’re interested in… Continue reading

Spoilers AHOY! Let’s talk about those season finales! part 1

18 May

I’m up at my mom’s (a nice place to visit and come home to) and have been struck down by an evil genius stomach bug that has kept me here a week longer than planned. The one upside to this evil bug is that I’ve gotten to hang out with my family during the ends of some of our favorite shows and enjoy those finale cliffhangers together. (Though, my brother is annoyed because I keep snaking his chair)

Let’s just be safe- there be SPOILERS here!

The Problem with Superman

12 May

Favorite adopted crew, Lee Daniels, pops in for another guest post. This time to share his thoughts on what’s wrong with Superman.

********************************************************

He’s not Invincible.

If you didn’t know, there’s a new Superman film coming out in a few weeks’ time called Man of Steel, this one is written by David S. Goyer (Dark Knight Trilogy) & Directed by Zack Snyder (300 & Watchmen) and has a pretty decent cast, so let’s hope it’s great because let’s face it, no-one wants to sit through another Superman Returns.

Stewart here, and be warned of spoilers within…

Last time, we got introduced to the world of Smallville, Kansas, where a teenage Clark Kent discovers that his abnormal powers are probably from the fact he’s not from this planet.  He also has to contend with other things, like making friends with a slightly older but still bald Lex Luthor, juggling his friends Pete and Chloe, deal with his crush on Lana Lang, and just going through high school.  Oh, and occasionally he has to deal with people affected in various ways by the meteor storm that brought him to Earth.  Really, that’s all you need to know going in.  Anyhoo… Continue reading
