Dare I dream the dream? Is it really true? Are the writers DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to announcing that this dreaded strike is over? I sure as hell hope so because tv stinks lately & I really can’t handle too much more of “My House is Worth What?” or “Diners, Drive- ins & Dives”. Anyhoo, rumor has it that the thorniest issue of the negotiations has been resolved & we should hear the official announcement any time now.
So, Yay! The strike has endeth (most likely!) So what does this mean for your favorite show? Well, sadly, you may still have to wait until next September for it to return (Bah!!!) According to a source at TV Guide, production on established shows will most likely start back up in early March with shows coming back in April/May. So that’s Grey’s, Desperate Housewives, etc. But, freshman shows that have already been given full-season pickups (i.e. Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Life, Chuck) will likely restart production over the summer ahead of a fall relaunch. Boooooo! I think this stinks. Why would the established shows come back & not the freshman crop? If they can return by April, couldn’t they knock out 8 new episodes in April & May?? I want to know what is going on with Life! And what about Chuck and Pushing Daisies? Also, there is still no word on the fate of the Jack Bauer Power Hour or Lost. On the plus side, this most likely means that we will get the proper ending for the Scrubs Finale.
In other news, Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth, Sr.) was on Ron & Fez last week. He said that Ron Howard had just called him to see if he was free for the Arrested Development movie! Yahhooooooo! I miss my Gob.
Movie reviews sponsored by Netflix:
A Mighty Heart: This is the story of the journalist who was kidnapped & killed in Pakistan. It is told through the eyes of his wife, who is played by Angelina Jolie. I thought Angelina was really great in this. I also enjoyed the documentary feel of the movie. It is not often that you get to see so many of the details & inner workings of a big news story & I thought it was quite interesting.
Juno: This movie was a lot of fun. The first movie in a long time that I’d actually go see in the theater again. Ellen Page is outstanding as the snarky Juno, who finds herself pregnant at 16 after an encounter with her best friend. I thought this movie had a lot of comedy & a lot of heart. I actually hate when people say “this movie had a lot of heart” because I think that phrase is so overused, but I think it perfectly describes this movie. It had heart without being overly sentimental.
The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe: I thought this movie was pretty decent. It kept my interest most of the time, but then I would drift off wanting Legolis and Aaragorn to come in & kick up the action. I did get a little sad when the ice witch got her hands on the lion & in all honesty, I got pretty excited when I saw the preview for the next one, so I guess that means I liked it.
Up Next: Once & The Simpson’s Movie
So I guess that about wraps things up. I’m very sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to give you my scathing review of the Oscars as I’ll be off gallivanting through Europe. That’s ok though, by now most of you should be able to imagine me throwing things at my tv in disgust. I’ll be back from my trip the last week in February, so I’ll check in then. Plus I’m sure I’ll have amusing stories about mine & Mikey’s adventure!
