WTF - Shark Week on the Discovery Channel

post from TVHolics Anonymous on 01 August 2008 04:17:00 PM. © TVHolics Anonymous

OK I get the idea of Shark Week, the annual festival of all things shark related on the Discovery Channel. I will admit years ago I watched it, didn't think it was all that but please some explain to me how the f--k can someone make an hour long documentary entitled "How Not to Become Shark Bait." I just happened to see the title while surfing the guide and had to stop and ask why???? How can it take 60 minutes (well 42 minutes if you subtract the commercials, which of course tout more insane shark related shows such as "Air Jaws: Sharks of South Africa" (apparently they "hurtle" their bodies out of the water. Of course I picture these "air sharks" wearing Superman-like capes or even JabberJaw himself) or the patriotic: "American Shark" (Well, it IS an election year after all) but I digress. OK, back to my initial question, how the hell does it take about 40 minutes to simply tell people, "Don't go in the water!" Really, it's that f--king simple, isn't it????? Not rocket science or quantum physics in the slightest way. Stunning really..... It would have cut production costs by loads....

Now to even make matters worse I had to go online (I couldn't bring myself to actually put the show on, I would have gotten sucked in to the hype of Shark Week) But alas now I am fascinated by the hysteria once I see all the special features on the site for this festive occasion. Did you know that you can actually "sharkify" yourself! Yes, if you have ever laid awake late at night pondering what in fact you would look like with shark features, worry no more! Or better yet play a game where you are a Sharkrunner and you are tracking sharks in real time!!!)

So I look up this How Not to Become Shark Bait and what do I find, you might ask. Well, let me show you.
As you can see, it's not a picture of a boat loaded with horn-rimmed scientists or even a picture of a shark (or even an Air Shark) No you get a freaking red-nosed rainbow haired CLOWN!!!!

I'm so glad I didn't change the channel......

Jodie Sweetin Doing A Reality Show

post from TVgasm Blog on 01 August 2008 04:17:00 PM. © TVgasm Blog

Jodie-Sweetin-Gma-1

Jodie Sweetin, aka Stephanie Tanner, is in talks to do a reality show with her husband. She said they've been approached so many times, they decided, why not? Jodie said, "I think it's sort of a fun way to show the other side of celebrity and a sort of semi-normal life." Did she just say "show the other side of celebrity"??? What has she done lately except give birth? She should have said, it will be a great way to re-inginite my dead career that I keep cashing in on talking about my old meth addiction.

I'm sorry Jodie, that was very Ruuuuddde of me.

Marvin The Martian coming to a theater near you

Filed under: TV on the Bigscreen, Animation, Reality-Free

Why do I think this is going to be really bad?

Warner Brothers has decided to make a big screen feature based on the Martin The Martin character, the little black and green guy who wanted to destroy Earth and/or Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in several cartoons. Now, a feature film based on the character wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but here's the sentence that sends a shiver down my spine:

Project will blend live action and CGI.*

Ugh. They can't just do a straight animated movie, they have to have some sort of live element that just ruins it? The plot will have Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas, only to get stuck in a box. Producers say the movie will be aimed at families and people who like movies that kinda suck. Of course, I truly hope I'm wrong. Marvin is a great, classic cartoon character.

*Another reason to hate that sentence: the idiotic writing style that Variety uses.
