It Could End No Other Way

We’re backed up so let’s hit the links. Gonna pick the winners for the Wurst Festival tickets later this afternoon, and I’ll post the winner tomorrow. It’s confirmed now what we pretty much already knew — Edward Norton won’t be playing the Hulk in The Avengers movie. Both sides are saying talks were in progress for Norton [...]

Pinch Me — the Emmys Got It (Close to) Right

Every year I loathe Emmy Nomination Day. Every year, I get my hopes up that the best work in this golden age of TV will be recognized. I wake up hopeful, charged-up and with my fingers crossed. Every year, those hopes are dashed when the likes of Boston Legal and Two and a Half Men get nominated over far [...]

Does Glee Need Fixing Already?

(HEAVY SPOILER ALERTS FOR GLEE AND JUSTIFIED, BE WARNED!!!) Remember Stewie Griffin’s compliment sandwich on Family Guy? That’s what I’m going to do with Glee’s season finale last night. Here’s the first piece of bread: For the last year, I’ve done nothing but give you reasons to watch Glee, with good reason. The show followed up one of the best [...]

Catching up with Anniversaries

pac man, empire strikes back, Thanks to everyone who checked out the first PopRox chat yesterday, I had a blast, even though I found out I have a stalker. Talking about TV and movies is probably the best way I can think of to boss-approved kill two hours of the work day. There were a couple requests [...]

Summer 2010 movies are soooooo last week

The rumors had been swirling, but now it’s official — Matthew Vaughn will direct X-Men: First Class. That’s not the surprising part since it’s already been discussed around these parts. The shocker is the release date on June 3, 2011 — 13 months from now. Huh. So a big-budget, CGI-heavy studio tentpole with no cast, that just signed [...]

Is Conan Going a Little Too Far?

Team Coco gets to fire the first shot across Jay Leno’s bow. In his first post-Tonight Show debacle television interview, Conan O’Brien told 60 Minutes he wouldn’t have done what Jay Leno did. In Leno’s defense, the way O’Brien is framing it, Leno didn’t have much of a choice. It’s the one thing I agree with [...]

Thanks! I Needed More Reasons to Hate American Idol!

Mostly TV in the news today: You know, American Idol can suck it. Seriously. How many times is it going to run over and eff up the DVR population of not only its show, but the following show, and the following show? Sooner or later, Fox has to step in and do something about this. Like, [...]
