Vampire Rom-Com: Inspired or Tired

post from BuzzSugar on 09 November 2009 06:30:33 PM. © BuzzSugar

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?

Duel II cast trashed $4 million house and owner
"had to fight" to get compensated

post from reality blurred on 09 November 2009 06:09:27 PM. © reality blurred

A $4 million Queenstown, New Zealand, home used by MTV's The Duel II, which aired last spring and is now airing in that country, was trashed by the cast. The homeowner told the New Zealand Herald, "It was pretty bad ... My house now has been completely repainted [and] all the floors have been done. ...

Switchback leads Amazing Race teams to become
more functional, not less

post from reality blurred on 09 November 2009 06:08:27 PM. © reality blurred

I missed The Amazing Race 15 episode last night, as I was driving back to DC with friends from Pittsburgh, where we saw the set of Mister Rogers Neighborhood of Make Believe, which was on display probably for the last time ever in its original studio. After flying home today, I turned on the TV and started watching just when Andy Rooney was finishing his commentary. Seriously, something more surprising happened: I was expecting that... keep reading »

New TV on DVD releases this week

post from TV Squad on 09 November 2009 06:03:00 PM. © TV Squad

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.

I'm always amazed at how many seasons JAG lasted. It started on NBC in 1995 then went to CBS, and I really thought it was the type of show that wouldn't last beyond three seasons, but it lasted ten! I thought the same thing about NCIS, and look at what happened there too. Obviously I don't do well predicting how shows with all caps in their titles will do.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Vol. 2
Dawson's Creek - Complete Series
Discovery Collection - Complete Collection
G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero Collector's Set
Heartland - Season 1, Part 2
JAG - Season 9

Stargate Universe - Earth, S01E07

post from Insights of a Television Addict on 09 November 2009 06:00:00 PM. © Insights of a Television Addict

One of the trickiest things about Stargate Universe is the attempt to adjust to it. It is SO different from its predecessors.
I nearly laughed myself silly when Col. Young (Justin Louis) calmly tried to explain to Gen. O'Neill that he was declining to follow orders because he had always looked up to O'Neill and his decision to always do the right thing no matter what. Young is so far from Jack it's hard to believe the character was supposed to be similar to him.
And while there was the honest moment of hilarity when Jack confessed that Carter had saved him numerous times using science he didn't understand, there was a touch of realism that does not appear in SG1 or Atlantis. Let these scientists do their job and bring you home; follow my orders because I've ordered you to. Well at least Jack still wants to always get his own way.
In Universe, we've found that, despite the characters being on the other side of the universe, a lot more action takes place on Earth. Young is busy trying to win back his wife, which he succeeds in doing, only to have the transmission device fail briefly in the middle of intercourse. And so Col. Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips), who appears to be a villain, later appears at the wife's door for who knows what illicit action. And if that's not enough, Eli (David Blue) is not only busy pining after the useless Chloe (Elyse Levesque), but is also suffering from being told he's a good friend and therefore not a love interest. If this is going to be the focus of the show, why bother sending them to the other side of the universe?
I want to see planets. New planets with more going on than just a search for water or sand. I want Rush (Robert Carlyle) to figure out how the ship works and for the heroes, while exploring Destiny, to come across neat gadgets. And I want to laugh! I want to laugh at a turn of phrase, an event or a comment that doesn't involve Eli or Jack. Where are the lines like "I'm sorry for shooting everybody" or "How do I know you are better; you referred to me as Lucy".
Stargate Universe has pulled out of the station, and it is headed somewhere at a respectable clip, but sometimes I just can't help but feel like they left too many things behind and didn't pick up enough new things is this edgier Stargateverse story. Do you feel the same way?
