Holy crap! Chris Penn died!

I just saw it posted on Ain’t It Cool News. (Here’s the link to the link they provided.) I am totally floored. I mean, in truth, he’s looked rather bloated for awhile, but, still, the guy was only 43 years old.

He might’ve been a lesser Penn brother, but I will always remember him for “Footloose,” “Reservoir Dogs” and, perhaps more importantly, “The Wild Life.”

It’s casual.

It sure is.

Rest in peace, Chris.

Sucks to be Heather Graham…

After just one airing of Heather Graham’s sitcom, “Emily’s Reasons Why Not,” ABC has yanked it, with no word on when or if it will return.

One episode? That’s it…?

Look, I’m not ashamed to admit…okay, I’m a little ashamed to admit it…that I saw part of that episode – having little idea that I was witnessing TV history, since very few series get yanked quite THAT quickly – and while it was a really obvious “Sex and the City” rip-off, it was in no way worse than, say, “Freddie.”

Heather Graham has proven that she can be funny with the right material (case and point: “Scrubs”), and while there wasn’t much of that sort of material to be found in what I saw, it’s hard to believe that the president of ABC immediately went on record as saying, “Once we saw it was not launching, we felt like unfortunately it was not going to get better and we had to make a change.”

Good lord, with all of the test audiences and focus groups that Hollywood employs, surely someone could’ve worked out some of the kinks before it actually got on the air…

Good news, everyone!

We now have confirmation.
There will be four – count ’em – FOUR brand-new full-length Futurama movies.
In tribute, I shall now quote one of my all-time favorite lines from the show:

Nibblonian: You are the last hope of the universe.
Fry: So I really am important? How I feel when I’m drunk is correct…?
Nibblonian: Yes…except that the Dave Matthews Band doesn’t rock.

I want “Action” tonight!

Sadly, however, I’ll have to wait ’til February 21st, as that’s when Sony is releasing “Action: The Complete Series” on DVD. Extras will include commentary on some episodes, a making-of documentary, and, best of all, no bleeps. Unexpigated cursing? Sign me up! Plus, any excuse to see Buddy Hackett onscreen again. It’s just a damned shame he didn’t live long enough to be filmed for “The Aristrocrats.”
