Blockbuster Video Becomes A Living Museum
GiggleSugar has a hilarious video from fake news source The Onion in which people take a tour of the antiquated Blockbuster Video store where people used to drive miles just to rent a movie.
Fox revealed its Fall TV schedule at the 2008 upfronts this morning, announcing two new shows and the two-hour "telefilm" 24 prequel that will air in November before the regular (much delayed) new season of the show starts up again in January 2009.
The Fox show getting the most buzz this upfront season (and the basket in which Fox is placing all its eggs) is the J.J. Abrams drama Fringe (featuring Joshua Jackson — yay, Pacey!) which will follow House (in a new spot) on Tuesday nights. The other new addition to the schedule is the scripted comedy Do Not Disturb (formerly known as The Inn) which is directed by Jason Bateman.
American Idol said goodbye to one of the final three on Wednesday which gives us our 2008 top two finalists. Of the three above, many could have predicted two of them would make it this far (ahem! Davids) and one has shocked many by fighting her way to the top. So was there an Idol upset? Or do the top two look the way many of us expected? To see some of my thoughts and discuss, just read more
Given that 90210 hasn't even cast its father yet, it's safe to say it'll be a while before we see clips of that show. But in the meantime, we can at least check out another one of the CW's new shows about the wealthy and powerful: Surviving the Filthy Rich.
The show centers on Megan, a 23-year-old Ivy League graduate — played by JoAnna Garcia, who recently appeared in Reba and thus is no stranger to the CW — who gets fired from her magazine job and becomes a live-in tutor to the twin granddaughters of a cosmetics mogul. I'm sure the girls will deliver their share of sass, but Megan has other things to deal with, too — namely that her best friend is in love with her, and her hot neighbor is dating her estranged sister.
This is the CW's second shot in two years at adapting something from a book, and just as with Gossip Girl, I'm curious to see how the book's fans react to the show. To check out some clips, just read more
The recent news about Jonah Hill writing a film adaptation of the 1980s TV series 21 Jump Street sent up warning flags a-plenty. First off, the assumption is that this movie will be a comedic version of the drama which, as EW points out, often used to include "earnest public service announcements." In fact, it might be a spoof version of 21 Jump Street, which doesn't sit right with me. Additionally, I can't imagine Johnny Depp will be involved in this film, and let's face it — he was one of the greatest parts of the show, if not the greatest.
Were you as addicted to 21 Jump Street as I was? What do you think about a film version spearheaded by Jonah Hill?
Rihanna bundled up for her appearance on The Late Show and looked perfectly chic while waving to her New York fans. She kept things simple in all black but mixed patterns and textures to create a unique look.
