After attending a screening last night of “American Dreamz,” the new comedy by Paul Weitz, I ran home and hopped on to IMDb to do a quick search of the cast. Along with the short, but sweet appearance of Judy Greer (for whom I have an immense geek love for), I was completely taken aback by a relative newcomer named Noureen DeWulf. Yowzer!
With the chances of Lindsay Lohan landing the title role in Joss Whedon’s big-screen adaptation of “Wonder Woman” rapidly dwindling with each passing day, fans of the redheaded (no wait, blonde-haired, oh wait, it’s red again) actress will be pleased to hear that Fox is currently in negotiations to bring the popular anime series “Sailor Moon” to theaters very soon, with Lohan starring as the main character and Jennifer Garner as the film’s villain. And get this, nerd extraordinaire Whedon is also rumored to direct the picture.
This may actually be a better opportunity for Lohan in the long run. As the sailor-suit wearing, pigtail-donning schoolgirl with special powers, Lohan can get her superhero groove on without saying goodbye to her teeny bopper fan club. Plus, just imagine the number of drooling adult males who will pile into theaters just to see the young actress in that get-up. Count me in!
Not a whole lot going on in DVD Land this week, with only one major release (“Hostel“) hitting store shelves. Other titles making their way into stores include special editions of “Moonstruck” and “Event Horizon,” as well as the award-nominated “Mrs. Henderson Presents” and the indie transgender flick “Breakfast on Pluto.” Next week looks to fair much better, with five major releases, five reissues, a handful of straight-to-DVD features and even some nice collections.
Mere hours after commending TiVo for a job well done, I’ve experienced television recording hell; that moment in your life when you realize that you’ve just missed the only showing of your favorite television series due to a technical glitch. In my case, I missed two of my favorite shows: “Prison Break” and “24,” a little slice of heaven also known as Monday Nights on FOX. I still don’t understand why FOX doesn’t rerun these episodes sometime later in the week (and I’m pretty sure they used to years prior), but that’s hardly the issue at hand.
What is disappointing, however, are the countless years that I’ve stuck with, and stuck up for, TiVo despite cheaper options (through cable companies) and numerous glitches such as the one that occurred tonight. Well, I say no more! No longer will I pay 12.95/month for glorified TV recording! No longer will I listen to the wonderful “beep-beep” noise that can only be heard from fast-forwarding through unwanted commercials! No longer will I belong to a DVR cult made up elitist television fanatics whose sole purpose is to get the most out of their viewing experience!
Who else has given up TiVo for a cheaper option? Feel free to post your horror stories below…
The Sun newspaper in London is reporting that a new music reality show is in the works called “Band in a Bubble” where, well, a band is placed inside a bubble for one month while they write and record a new album. So far, The Darkness has been approached as the maiden band for the project, but nothing official has yet to be announced.
Is there a genuine audience for something like this, and if so, how much further can the reality show genre sink before television is destroyed forever?
