SciFi Channel also is premiering the Asylum classics Alien vs. Hunter and I am Omega, as well as the family-friendly Spring Break Shark Attack. February and March will be filled with disappointment.
TV getting the remake fever
There is also a pilot being shot for a Parenthood series, based on the film starring Steve Martin. Astute readers will remember that there was already a Parenthood TV series, but apparently TV executives are morons.
“Friday Night Lights” creator/exec producer Jason Katims wrote the adaptation, produced by Universal Media Studios and Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine TV. (The feature, which earned two Oscar nominations for co-star Wiest and Randy Newman’s song “I Love to See You Smile,” was produced by Imagine and Universal Pictures.)
In other moron news, a Witches of Eastwick TV series is also being prepared. Guess what? There was already a TV series pilot of that as well! (Two, actually, one in 1992 with Julia Campbell, Catherine Mary Stewart, and Ally Walker; and one in 2002 with Marcia Cross, Kelly Rutherford, and Lori Loughlin)What is next, a new M*A*S*H series set in Iraq? (which will be hard to do as there aren’t M*A*S*H units anymore!) I guess because there was a sequel written to the original novel that came out in 2008 there is renewed interest. Women just can’t stop talking about the Witches of Eastwick. This is what they are saying:
Feel the buzz!
The 1980s are definitely in this pilot season. In addition to “Parenthood,” pilots based on the 1980s feature “The Witches of Eastwick” and mini “V” have been ordered by ABC.
He-Man movie might get made…
John Stevenson, one of the directors of Dreamworks’ Kung-Fu Panda, has been tapped to direct the new movie based upon the 1980s Mattel toyline, from a script written by Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li’s Justin Marks. Stevenson was selected for the gig because of his love for the characters, according to Mattel’s Barry Waldo
The supposed script (GRAYSKULL: THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE) is up at LatinoReview. Is it real? I trust no one.
Wingnut Web – Ice storm is the new Katrina edition
Well start off with FreeRepublic.com and how they handled the smears…
Why ask why? Try Bud Dry!
Ha, Sean Penn! That LIEberal! He’s the Jane Fonda of the 21st century
Blacks are the real racists
The original picture is animated, FYI
Barack Obama Doesn’t Care About White Southerners By Caleb Howe was a ridiculous hackjob written by someone who works for AOL. AOL is known for insightful comments:
Robert knows that New York and California are the worst places to live in the world:
When will Democrats have a black guy in a leadership role?
Robert isn’t fooling me, Mr. E. Lee!
Lulu knows that time zones make it impossible for people overseas to troll your posts
OMG COMMIEZZ!!
E.A.U.M. is a patriotic New Yorker who is patriotic about the CSA!
Finally, let’s see how our friends at Resistnet.com are handling this situation:
Our friend RC continues to amuse us with his style:
patriot knows that the Middle East has taken over the Jews who control all our media, even Rush!
Well, that’s enough crazy for now. So if you haven’t frozen to death in White Katrina: Ice Apocalypse, tune in for the next Wingnut Web. Because the crazy doesn’t stop!
A big batch of terrible Super Bowl movie commercials
GI Joe – this looks horrible. Will only be interested in Gerald Okamura:
Hey, let’s destroy the Eiffel Tower (already done by a Puppet movie!) and have terrible slow-mo CGI flipping
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Way more Transformers, maybe it won’t be as bad. Who am I kidding, the same writers, directors, and stars are in it. And the new Transformers look just and indistinguishable and messy as the old ones.
Land of the Lost
Will Ferrel is annoying. But there are Sleestak!
Fast and the Furious 4
This will be the best F&F sequel yet. Because they can only go up.
Star Trek
I am still not impressed.
I am now aware how I am becoming bitter at the state of big budget entertainment in the media. Mostly because they are horrible. Now, surprisingly, Paul Blart: Mall Cop wasn’t bad, and Taken was awesome, so it is not like I hate everything. Just 80% of the commercials above. Vin Diesel comes out on top for once!
New Review – Erotic Ghost Story
The new review is up, and it is Erotic Ghost Story, a masterpiece of category III eroticism that is often imitated but never duplicated. Plus, it has lots of neat old school effects that I love so much! Read it today, and watch the two movie clips!
