I. Cannot. Wait. For this new show on ABC. Happy Town is, as the preview says, a Twin Peaks-esque crazy-fest and I’m chomping at the bit. Of course, it will most likely be cancelled after 5 episodes, but whatev. The series boasts a good cast. Sam Neill, from everything, appears as does Francis Conroy, the mother on Six Feet Under, Steven Weber from Wings fame and a whole bunch of other folks you have seen before, but forget from where appear. Alls I know is that I like to see who-dunnit style murders run rampant on a continuing series. This will be my Harper’s Island of 2010.
Check check it out. Preview can be seen below. “Your pussy is cuter than a mouse’s pocket book.”
Hollyoaks cast changes continue as 11 more actors have been fired. 4 had been fired previously and 3 quit so that is 18 in one year. And I hate every character but 1! All of my favorites are sticking around thank goodness. Below is the only one I’m going to miss and she isn’t even an important character. Suzanne Ashworth is the mother of the clan of useless trolls that are the Ashworths. She gets constant grief from this mixed bag of douchery and usually maintains a fair bit of humor. Too bad the actress is shackled to those flying monkeys.
Oh the losers getting kicked the fuck out are as follows, Calvin, Leo, Sasha, Spencer, Lauren, Dave, Des, Newt, Archie, Hayley, Zak (slightly a tiny bit sad about this one), Josh, Reese, Jake, Loretta, Kris and Neville. Peace out, losers.
I have good news and bad news on the Marvel cosmic front. The bad news first. Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova are going on hiatus. This is partially to do with the low sales they get and partially to do with the good news that is coming. The Thanos Imperitive will be taking over. A 6 month mini-series tying every cosmic character together into a web of insanity. The Cancer-verse, the universe on the other side of the rip in space, The Fault, is planning to take over the Marvel Universe and a rag tag band of cosmic heroes are the only ones to stop it. As you can see from the entirely beautiful picture below, of up-most importance seems to be, of course, Thanos. Silver Surfer seems to be coming back in a big way and the surprising third star seems to be Medusa, the queen of the Inhumans and one of my top ten redheaded females of Marvel. The current stars of their respective books, Nova and Starlord can be seen below with fan favorite Rocket Raccoon. It all seems to be exciting besides that sadness up front.
The last commercial AMC’s Aiden Turner did for Alexandria Land Rover was weird enough (see a few posts below). This commercial is soooooo much stranger. Some talk of being in love with a car and then some weird gay shit happens. Heh? The second clip is because he’s goofy cute too.
I watched one of the strangest and therefore awesomest movies yesterday. It had been on my Netflix queue for ages and I finally got around to it. The Happiness of the Katakuri’s is the tale of a family who move out to the country and buy a B&B. Unfortunately, all of their guests start dying and when a body is found, or for any reason, the family starts singing and dancing. Sometimes, for action scenes, everything goes claymation and it’s batshit. The opening of the movie says it all so take a look. Always watch out for angel fetuses trying to steal your uvula.
It’s a blah day in the neighborhood and I must say TV has been sort of awful the last month. Of course, a lot of that is due to the uselessness that is the Winter Olympics. I don’t have any current television show posts coming up and it sucks a bit. Sure, things are coming back on, but it’s all a bit meh. LOST has been running strong and is interesting, but not quite as much as it should be. In a month or so, it should be insane though. Here’s hoping.
I have been watching the trainwreck that is The Bad Girls Club and, per usual, I hate pretty much every cast member. The saving grace is that freakwit, Annie, who has no business being in the house, but its fucking amazing. She hates people for their incorrect grammar. She is so witty even when she is being stupid. I love her so very much. I feel like she’s my long lost sister.
In the first clip, Annie gets shit dumped all over her and she just dances to brush that shit off. Awesome. Second clip should be started at 7:12 and ended at 8:00. Awful bitch Natalie tries to talk her down and Annie goofs her ass off and makes fun of someone’s spelling.
Oh my god. I’m having a nerdgasm. Some of my favorite ladies of Marvel are joining forces to combat a long thought dead hero turned villainess. She-Hulk, Hellcat, Emma Frost, Agent Brand, Valkyrie and Monica Rambeau vs. Frankie Raye AKA Nova, ex herald of Galactus. I cannot wait to see Hellcat and Valkyrie join forces. The most awesome thing of all is that this is a weekly series. 5 issues. 5 weeks. Pure awesome.
Hollyoaks is finally back to firing on all cylinders again with this whole Holly going missing story. Cindy, 2009 Drama Female Nominee, is in rare form. She is still in bitch mode, but she is in sad bitch mode, so it is quite a change. She’s in make up that makes her look like shit with the crying and the yelling at people about stealing her kid. Too bad Holly is just hiding out somewhere to pull one over on Cindy and Tony for being sucky parents. Here is a summary of last weeks goings on in the story.
OH NO! I’m going to have to watch Dancing with the Stars this season. Aiden Turner, AKA the hottest soap star every created, see sexiness to follow, has been added to the list. It has been a sad few months after since Aidan (Aiden’s character’s name) left All My Children in shackles and there isn’t a hot guy for miles. Too bad. Aidan arrived on the show about when I started watching it, 2001 or something. What a lusty fellow he was. And British. And good.
I first noticed him back in the day when he was Geri Halliwell’s hot boyfriend in the video for Bag It Up (attached herein). Watch her use him as a table. Also attached is a bit of a bit from AMC where Aidan does something very hot by telling Bianca not to be such a cunt and then he punches her in the pussy. If only.
Meanwhile, WTF is this next video? Aiden goes to my local Land Rover dealership in Alexandria and talks like some sort of crazy douche. Hot douche. I love this shit.
In more cool redheaded soap casting news, my favorite actress, Julianne Moore has decided to return to her roots and will be appearing on As The World Turns. Julianne played identical cousins/half sisters, Frannie and Sabrina (a Brit), from 85-88. I don’t watch the shoe besides a bit of that ultra boring gay couple that appear once every 14 months. Damned if I won’t watch her scenes though whenever she is on. As the demise of soaps is upon us, she will be one of ATWT’s last hurrahs and it’s fitting because bitch is the best thing ever. Unfortunately, i cannot embed. Racism. Here is a clip of the identical cousins. End.
In other news, Julianne is actively looking to change things up a bit in her career and searching for a primetime show in which to become involved.
