Scream IV Is On - Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette to Star

BuzzSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:30:16 -0700

Scream it from the rooftops: Scream IV is happening, and original stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are attached to reprise their roles.

Scheduled to start shooting next Spring, the new movie will be the first in a new trilogy (a little Star Wars-style prequel perhaps?), and Bob Weinstein is trying to get Wes Craven to direct again. Honestly, I wouldn't be as excited about this announcement if Neve Campbell weren't starring; and sure, I'm also excited to see Ms. Cougar Town Courteney Cox and her husband back on the screen together. Though I'm usually not a horror lover, I make an exception for the Scream movies, which get their cleverness from scribe Kevin Williamson, who like Cox is also working on one of Fall's hottest new shows.

More of you guys voted to kill the franchise when news of a fourth Scream was announced months ago, but does Neve Campbell being involved change your mind at all?

Pushing Daisies Rundown: Episode Four, "Frescorts"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:30:21 -0700

Ah, friendship. As all of the Pushing Daisies characters learn one way or another, it's a necessary component to a full life. Then again, when you get trapped in a locker or gifted a creepy taxidermied dog, friends don't look so good, do they? This episode is one quirky meditation on friendship, and we can talk about it if you read more.

Starting with my favorite thing about this episode: Emerson! Through meeting Young Emerson, we learn he's been a spy since babyhood and grew up super-close with his P.I. mother. The appearance of Calista Cod is all-around fantastic, as she turns out to be investigating Emerson himself after she came across a rejection letter for Lil' Gumshoe. I loved the way Emerson breaks out this sad puppy-dog face around his mama, and the scene with the two of them simultaneously interrogating their clients is outstanding. And in the end, Mama Cod gives Emerson some wise advice: If he wants to bring his daughter home, he should stop talking about what a cool kid he was and start focusing on what a great dad he'll be.

While all of that is going on, the case leads the team to My Best Friend Inc., a rent-a-friend company where the murder victim was working as a "frescort." Suspicion initially falls on Randy Mann (guest star David Arquette), considering he likes taxidermy and meat pies and obviously needs some friends. He and Ned start to form a bond, since Ned gets the whole loneliness thing, but when Randy gives Ned a taxidermied golden retriever with a guitar, well, all bets are off. Another suspect, Barb, was dating Joe, and she starts to look guilty after she shoves Chuck and Olive in a locker, but she turns up dead in a hug machine. Finally, the team hits on its culprit: Buddy Amicus (ha), the nerdy founder of My Best Friend Inc. who invented the lie that he was a former star quarterback just trying to pass on his abundant social skills to others. This is all revealed in a particularly quirky sequence involving Spartan costumes and jock straps.

Meanwhile:

Oh, Ned is so, so lonely. I loved his reactions to the hug machine - first horror, then a resigned, schmoopy-happy face as the arms close around him.
It's nice that he recognizes that this loneliness is something he can work on, though. Yes, Chuck can know all his secrets, but that's not an excuse to avoid dealing with the regular world.
Chuck and Olive trapped in a locker together is one of my favorite scenes of the season. Obviously their issues were big enough that all that water wasn't going to stay under the bridge. The "Our universe is forever expanding" "Like your neediness" exchange was harsh, and Chuck's "I feel like a sachet in the panty drawer of a shut-in who was shut in her closet by her cats so they wouldn't have to smell the scent of freesia" was just . . . wow.
Actually, this episode has a few great Chuck and Olive moments, including the one where they imitate different emotions to get hired at My Best Friend. "Consternation!"
"I want to duvet you right this second" is my new favorite expression. But I am surprised that a buck-naked Chuck is a comfort to Ned, considering the whole no-touching thing.

What did you think? Are you ready for Ned to find a friend? What hilarity will arise from Olive and Chuck being roommates? And can we make Emerson's mom a permanent addition to the team?

"Dirt" Debuts Tonight

BuzzSugar — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 05:53:33 -0800

FX has been running near-constant promos for the new Courteney Cox show, "Dirt," which debuts tonight at 10 p.m. on FX. I'm really curious to watch this show, just because the ads make it seem so sinister. Cox steps out of her comedy comfort zone to play Lucy Spiller, a tabloid editor who makes her living digging into the lives of celebs. The show actually looks grittier than I expected, but I guess I should have known since it's from the network that brought us the wonderfully indulgent "Nip/Tuck."

Check out the the "Dirt" trailer online and tell me what you think. Will you watch this show?
