BuzzSugar — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 08:00:00 PDT

It's hard to believe that it's been 12 years since the release of 10 Things I Hate About You, but, for a lot of us, the movie has become a beloved classic. Not only does the memorable teen comedy boast a baby-faced Joseph Gordon-Levitt and an equally young Heath Ledger, it also has lines that are still super quotable. Check out a few of our favorites, then add yours in the comments!

"Aaand I'm back in the game!" - Cameron
"I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?" - Chastity
"Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?" - Patrick

10 Things Stars Lindsey Shaw and Ethan Peck Talk Second Season, Remake Pressure, and Making Out

BuzzSugar — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:30:35 PDT

As much as I bellyache about remakes, I have to admit that last year's 10 Things I Hate About You, ABC Family's small screen version of the beloved 1999 movie, was a huge surprise for me. The characters are unique enough from the originals, but the show still exhibits the same fun quirkiness. Happily, the series is back for its second season tonight, and I was able to chat with stars Lindsey Shaw and Ethan Peck, who play Kat and Patrick, about the return of the show and whether they still feel pressure to live up to the film.

Lindsey, on what we can expect in the premiere:
You can expect to come to the beach with us. We pick up exactly where we left off, which is awesome because I think it was kind of a teaser. And we pick right back up on the beach, making out. How better can you start off?
Ethan, on the premiere:
You gotta watch!
Lindsey, on being complimented about the show's success:
We really have worked since its inception to hear things like that. Obviously coming from a remake, you have a whole slew of things stacked against you. Nobody wants to see a remake because it's everybody's favorite movie. But we came at this and wanted to create something different and entertaining, and I think we've done that.

To read the rest of what Lindsey and Ethan had to say, including how things will stay hot for their characters and whether Ethan will ever perform a big song-and-dance routine like Heath Ledger, just

Lindsey, on what's next for Kat and Patrick:
I think something really nice that they explored in the first part of the season was maintaining their friendship, growing their friendship, learning more and more about each other. They really just get in trouble when this intimacy thing starts, but you get to see more of their friendship, which is really unique and different and especially cool for Patrick, who is quite mysterious.
Ethan, on what's next:
Yeah, I think the relationship between Kat and Patrick essentially intensifies. That's the best way I can put it.
Lindsey, on whether the pressure is less coming into the second season:
I think that the pressure is equal, but it really comes from us now to evolve the show and make it something you want to continue to watch. A show with a format like ours can get stale, only because the characters stop evolving and you kind of stay stagnant.
Ethan, on the same pressure:
I think the pressure really always only came from within, speaking for ABC Family and for the television show, because we knew that we weren't trying to replace anything or anybody. We all came to it seriously and with big open hearts and open minds and I think that's why we are where we are today.
Lindsey, on whether the writers ended the first season finale fearful that the show wouldn't come back:
I think everybody had that fear because the network wasn't giving us anything concrete to go off of. We didn't have an order for any more episodes when we left, so I think it was very much written so we could say adios for good if need be.
Ethan, on how they celebrated when they heard they were returning: We all got together and drank soda and ate hamburgers. And then we played Monopoly.
Lindsey, on whether she was surprised the show got picked up for another season:
I was and I wasn't. In the back of my mind I always felt like the show was too good not to come back, but you never know what people respond to and what they like.
On whether Kat and Patrick's relationship is going to be a rocky road:
Ethan: Oh you know it is.
Lindsey: Absolutely. Absolutely, But that's the way they like it.
Ethan: (laughing) That's the way they like it.
Ethan, on whether he'll ever perform a song and dance routine similar to Heath Ledger's in the movie:
No, I don't think so. The Patrick that we have created wouldn't do that. You know that was something Heath did that was so wonderful that will remain with him.
Lindsey, on how her Kat is different from the film Kat:
Julia Stiles plays Kat very much as a feminist, very self-righteous, and I think the Kat that I try to portray tries to be a little edgier. She's probably a little more invested and gets a little more caught up than I think Julia Stiles's Kat ever would. Obviously because it's a series and we have a little more time to figure out all of her neuroses, but if anything I think she's a little feistier, maybe edgier.

Buzz's Favorite Movie Bad Boys

BuzzSugar — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:30:03 PST

This Friday we'll get a peek at Michael Cera's mustached, naughty alter ego, Francois, in the new release Youth in Revolt. Francois is a rebel, torching buildings and breaking into girls dorm rooms - and yes, naturally, he's French. In honor of his general badass-ness, I decided to round up some of my favorite Francois predecessors in film (warning: lots of greasy hair and leather jackets ahead). Check them out!

10 Things I Hate About You's Fake OS, Photo-Editing Program

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:05:42 PDT

Is anyone but me actually watching the TV version of 10 Things I Hate About You? As a huge fan of the 1999 movie, I really thought I'd hate it, but I got sucked in instead.

I was definitely glad it sucked me in this week, when the Kat character (now a feisty brunette instead of a feisty blonde) was working on a Mac (Apple logo covered, which I'm used to on TV shows by now). Not only did her laptop use a totally fake operating system, they even used fake photo-editing software! Get your kicks with the clip below.

TV Tonight: 10 Things I Hate About You

BuzzSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:30:15 PDT

ABC Family's 10 Things I Hate About You, a half-hour comedy series based on the 1999 movie of the same name, premieres tonight. Greek's Carter Covington developed the series, which also shares a director and one star (Larry Miller, playing the girls' father) with the movie. You all have expressed some pretty split opinions on this idea, and now that it's here, will you be giving it a spot in your viewing lineup? I recently checked out the first episode, and swiping the format from my Pilot Watch series, here are some of the pros and cons.

What's it about? You know this story. Based on 10 Things I Hate About You - which itself is based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew - this series focuses on two sisters who are newcomers to Padua High: the abrasive Kat and the status-seeking Bianca.

Who's in it? Lindsey Shaw, Meaghan Jette Martin, Ethan Peck, Larry Miller, Dana Davis

The good: The show is wittier than we've seen in the previews, with plenty of lines that would feel right at home on Greek ("We have chemistry together!" a flustered Bianca exclaims after being caught in a closet with the boyfriend of Padua's queen bee. ". . . The class! Not the other thing.") Shaw - while, granted, not being Julia Stiles - has a take on Kat that's smart without being too sullen. I got a kick out of the nerdy Cameron, who instantly falls for Bianca, and his even nerdier friend Michael.

The bad: The biggest question facing this show is, well, why make it at all? The movie came out a decade ago, helped launch several careers, and has ardent fans. I almost wish this version of 10 Things had used a different name, just to give it some distance from the movie. It'll have to come up with some good, unique stories and characters fast if it wants to seem like more than a knock-off. I also wish the show had taken some time developing Kat's love interest, because he seems to glean an awful lot of information from just one nasty stare.

Will I watch? I'll check out a few more episodes. I'm curious to see if it can develop its own identity beyond just a TV version of a beloved movie.

First Look: 10 Things I Hate About You and Make It or Break it

BuzzSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:30:15 PDT

When I was putting together my Summer TV top 10 list, I couldn't choose just one ABC Family show to include. That's because the network has two new shows coming out over the next few weeks that seem like they could give old favorites like Greek a run for their money.

One of them is Make It or Break It, a show about an elite group of teen gymnastics champions whose world gets shaken up when a new hot prospect gets discovered - on a playground, no less - and comes to train at their gym. The part of me that grew up reading the Gymnasts book series and wishing I could do the splits can't wait to watch this show. (The part of me that watched a whole lot of the Summer Olympics is already getting judgey about the stunt doubles' gymnastics, but those who can't do a handspring shouldn't throw stones, right?) It premieres June 22 after the return of The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

The other series I'm curious to check out is the TV version of 10 Things I Hate About You, and judging from these poll results, I'm expecting some split opinions on this one. On paper, the show has some good things going for it: The movie's director also directed the pilot; Aliens in America's Lindsay Shaw is taking Julia Stiles's old role as Kat; and Larry Miller reprises his part from the movie as the girls' father. Greek writer Carter Covington is the man behind the series, which is a plus in my book. 10 Things will premiere July 7.

Does either show sound like one you'll check out? To get a look at the first promos and some longer sneak peeks, just

Here's a longer sneak peek of one of the Make it or Break It scenes.

Here's a slightly longer version of the 10 Things promo with some additional scenes.

Would You Watch a TV Version of 10 Things I Hate About You?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:30:54 PDT

I was a fan of 10 Things I Hate About You, the 1999 Taming of the Shrew update that starred Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. But could a TV series based on the story also be great - or would that be taking things too far?

ABC Family is looking to find out, as they've just picked up a pilot for a potential series based on the movie. This one would focus more on the sisters, according to Zap2it:

Both girls attend Padua High and must juggle their social lives, boys and their over-protective dad, but approach life differently. Kat is impatient to make a difference in the world, is strong-willed and a feminist, while Bianca is more concerned with her looks and popularity.

Would you be interested in a TV version of this story?
