Possible Clueless Sequel: Yay or OMG, Nay?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:30:15 -0700

Rumor has it Silvestone and Clueless director Amy Heckerling recently discussed a script for a sequel to the high school comedy. On the cute side, it might mean Paul Rudd and Alicia Silverstone together again on the big screen. And yet . . . it's a Clueless sequel!

It's still very much a rumor, but is this something you'd want to see? I suppose we'd find out what Cher's up to all these years after graduation. But would this work if it's no longer set in high school? Is Cher still with her stepbrother? Did they get married (and is that super weird?)?

What say you?

What on Earth Will a Video Game Based on Clueless Be Like?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 08:30:35 -0700

Things that make me go "hmm...": I spotted on GeekSugar yesterday this news that several new movies have been picked up as future video games - and they're not your usual action-heavy flicks with guns and bombs or. . . action of any kind (unless you count Cher's steamy online chat, after which "he just logged off"). They're Clueless, Mean Girls and Pretty in Pink.

On the one hand, it's nice that there are going to be video games for girls, and ones that aren't totally violent. On the other hand, seriously, what will these games entail? Competitive shopping? Backstabbing contests? A race against time to alter Iona's old pink prom dress? Brainstorm below.

What's Buzzworthy? Movies With Great Costumes

BuzzSugar — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:00:47 -0700

As we ease into October I've been thinking a lot about Halloween and the idea of costuming and masquerade. Many people gain inspiration for Halloween costumes from the clothing they find in movies. For this week's Buzzworthy challenge, let's take a look at those movies that feature some of the best costumes ever. They can be Oscar winners, like Amadeus or Lord of the Rings, or just movies where you admired the costumes, like Elizabeth or even Clueless.

Team members KerryG and tdamji already got us started a while ago by bookmarking a ton of movies with great costumes, so check out their picks, second the ones you also love, and add your own!

Just use Buzzsugar's cool bookmarking tool to bookmark your favorite costume flicks online and tag them with the phrase costume movies. I'll post some readers' picks here next week.

You can also now make a list of your picks. Here are mine:

The Results Are In: Recast Clueless

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 16:26:55 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie and the winner gets a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

With so many great young actors working right now, it was fun to present the Clueless recast and watch the awesome lists roll in. I can definitely see Amanda Bynes as Cher, like so many of you suggested, though I also enjoyed WhiplashGirlchild's idea of Mandy Moore, and I would love to see "Ugly Betty"'s Becki Newton in the role, as alethe16 mentioned.

I also like PrissyLilBadAss's casting choice of Zoe Saldana for Dionne, and dropstar's idea to put Al Pacino in the role of Cher's gruff-but-lovable daddy. Overall, however, my favorite cast list comes from smugirl!

Ah, Clueless. The rich kids' angst, the high school caste system, the pretty girl who's actually really smart, the weird step-sibling romance... what's not to love? Alicia Silverstone, Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy, and the others were truly priceless in their roles, but who would you cast in their parts today, 12 years later?

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, May 8, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more

House Rundown, "Known Unknowns"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0800

Finally, after a two-week break and a World Series, House is back! And lucky for us, the writers packed in several juicy plot points to make up for the hiatus. This week's case involves a young teenybopper with an ego and compulsive lying streak to boot. Sounds intriguing, but personally, I was more wrapped up in all of the personal drama going on with House and a certain fellow female doctor.

Ready to cover the highlights? There's a major twist with a big reveal, so prepare for some spoilers when you read more.

Right off the bat, the sexual tension between Cuddy and House is turned on full volume, what with Cuddy's low-cut shirt and House's leering looks. I found it to be a bit over the top, but I still have to give Cuddy props for this awesome comeback after House references her breasts as "Patty" and "Selma": "I feel bad I haven't named your testicles." Touche, Cuddy. Although, I sort of feel like she wears those revealing clothes for House, don't you?
I knew this episode had to be good when I heard it involved a Wilson and House road trip and an '80s party, but House in an 1880's costume walking among guys in Devo hats is brilliant. And then, when things can't get any better, he dances with a Flashdance Cuddy to "Time After Time" and finally admits to her that he's always had feelings for her. What a fantastic scene! That is, until she walks out.
Another high point of the evening for me: When House drugs a pants-less Wilson to keep him from giving a potentially career-ruining speech on euthanasia. Now, that's a solid friend. Were you shocked over Wilson's confession of delivering euthanasia himself? We always think that House is the one with all the secrets, but I guess Wilson isn't 100 percent on the up and up either.
I definitely laughed when Wilson uses the term "friend-zoned" while talking about Cuddy. House is surprisingly open about his feelings for her instead of his usual denial, which I think is nice to see - do you agree? Or is House becoming too soft?
Surprise! Were you taken aback by Lucas? (Lucas is the private investigator that Cuddy hired last season.) When House goes to Cuddy's room to prove to her that she can "count" on him (as she puts it), Lucas is there playing with her baby daughter. I think House and I both had the same look when that happened - huh??!
Didn't this episode's diagnosis seem even more roundabout than usual? The doctors came across completely clueless - not to mention they did extra damage by giving the patient supplements. Perhaps it's just because House wasn't on the premises to pull the strings.
Lucas's mention of House's sex hallucination with Cuddy = painfully awkward. But I don't think Cuddy is over House. Did you look at her face?!
We can all breathe a sigh of relief, because Chase finally breaks down and tells Cameron the truth about the murder of Dibala. She's obviously stunned, but we didn't get her response before the episode ends. We already know that she's leaving the show, but what do you think will happen between them next week?

Please, please weigh in on the Cuddy and House saga! Do you think those two are ever going to get together? Or is Lucas's arrival going to muck things up for good? Tell me your thoughts in the comments, or click on over to the House! group in community.

Vampire Rom-Com: Inspired or Tired?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:30:33 -0800

Yet another vampire story is rumored to be coming to the big screen, but this time it's the ladies who are doing the biting. Krysten Ritter (who is normally relegated to the BFF role) is supposedly starring in a romantic comedy called Vamps.

Amy Heckerling, the director responsible for Clueless, is attached to write and direct the story of "two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture." I've always enjoyed Heckerling's work and am intrigued to see Ritter finally cast as a lead, but I'm wary of the premise; it sounds like it's just capitalizing on the recent craze. Plus, almost half of you said you were tired of vampire entertainment over the Summer.

At least this does have a unique angle by making the main vampires female for once, not to mention the much lighter tone it'll have. What do you think of this project - is it inspired, or just tired?
