Your Friday Movie Rumor Update

January 15th, 2010 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Movies

The Terminator Franchise has been sold to Lions Gate, seeing as Salvation was such a dog. Joss Wheadon offered 10K for it, and everyone in the Buffy-verse wishes they had taken that bid, myself included. The thought of Amy Acker as Sarah Conner is soooo hot. News of The Lantern: Blake Lively has been set […]

3 Hours of Chuck in 24 Hours = AWESOME!

January 12th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Let’s face the reality that NBC is having a rough ratings time, what with the 10pm fiasco and most of the new series tanking so badly. Keeping all that in mind, the network made a really good decision, bringing back Chuck a bit earlier than they wanted to, and using it as an anchor on […]

Revisionist History in Movies or…..

January 7th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

2010 is destined to become The Year of the Remake. Having just written that sentence, my mind vomits at the thought that this coming year will serve up MORE remakes than last year and yet, the proof is in the trailers. Green Hornet: Sorry folks, as good as this might possibly be, the ghost of […]

Who Ya Gonna Call?

January 4th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

It has become a movie industry bereft of an spark of originality, with very few exceptions. For every Avatar, there are 5 or 10 movies so derivative, so sequel-ly, so damn rubber stamped that it boggles the mind that there might be any brain cells left in Hollywood.  Bearing that in mind, I shudder to […]

The Tao of Who

January 2nd, 2010 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, TV

David Tennant gives us a wonderful farewell in The End of Time as well as a key to the future of the series. Timothy Dalton as The Time Lord and Narrator is simply wonderful. Both in substance and texture,  this holiday send-off is a fitting and beautiful ending to the Tennant era as Doctor. “It’s […]

Science Fiction – Science Fact: The Sub Orbital Zero Sum Game

December 7th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, Events

The time is fast approaching when civilians will be flying in the upper atmosphere as the first Space Tourists. Yes, those same touristas you saw in Mexico, sunburned like lobsters wearing Bermuda Shorts and “I went to Mexico and all I got was this lousy Tee Shirt” shirts, will soon be the new Elroy Jetsons. […]

When is a Remake Just Another Stupid Idea?

December 3rd, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies, TV

When Vampires are hot, that when! And, let’s face it, the vegetarian Vamps in Twilight are hot, if not even vaguely vampy. So, who is the idiot who came up with a reboot movie of the television series, Buffy, The Vampire Slayer? Not Joss Whedon.  This idea is being pushed by the people and studio […]

Star Trek 2009: the Undiscovered Scene

December 2nd, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

Much has been made of the good/bad film of the reboot of the Star Trek series. Some fanboys complain of the inconsistencies, others revel in the new regime. Whatever side of the fence you sit on; there has been one debate about this film from day one: SHATNER. Why was Nimoy in the film and […]

V – 4 Down, None To Go

November 30th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

So, Last night was the last of the “Premiere Event” launching of V and all I have to say is, “yawn.” After 4 episodes, the world is supposed to wait until March for new stuff and my question is, for what. After a month, here is what we know:

The Joke’s on Your DVR & V/4400

November 11th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Today, Twin Topics.  First, let’s talk about the joke of ratings. In these modern times, there are many ways to ”watch” a TV show. So, when ratings come out that ONLY reflect who was watching a show during its “broadcast”, it is a disingenuous number at best. At worst, it is a hatchet, used to […]
