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.
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.
From the company that brought you Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters comes a new classic for all to enjoy. Android Karenina. Check the synompsis below and prepare for the awesome.
As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls. Their passions alone would be enough to consume them–but when a secret cabal of radical scientific revolutionaries launches an attack on Russian high society’s high-tech lifestyle, our heroes must fight back with all their courage, all their gadgets, and all the power of a sleek new cyborg model like nothing the world has ever seen.
To go along with this previous awesomeness we have the cover art below. I’ve never read the original, but this looks like top notch lunacy.
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.
BBC has released a new trailer for the new Doctor Who with that Easter island headed new Doctor. The video is a big cheesy but still hot shit what with the weeping angel and a Dalek jabbering about. The special effects are actually not sketchy looking and what the fuck is that crazy goo face that comes at the end. Anyways, beginning Easter, the awesomeness gets started and I will have no idea what the hell the new Doctor screams, as the title of this post demonstrates.
Oh snip snap bippity bap. SKYE IS BACK! Robin Christopher, AKA the most awesome soap actress ever is returning to General Hospital. Skye, the most awesome soap character ever has also appeared for years on All My Children and One Life to Live. Most interconnected character in Daytime, right here, folks. She’s a hot red headed bitch who will kick your ass if you dare look it her with some shifty eyes. The one bad thing is that I must now watch General Hospital again, a mostly pitiful show. Besides that, Happy Days are here again. I’ve been waiting for this for three years now.
I could watch the following clip ever day. Skye wipes that smug goddamn face off of that dirty cunt, Sam. Kill her. Check out 1:00 where it all gets awesome.
Sadness can be found below as Skye must tell her adopted grandfather some sad news. After that is more sadness as Skye eulogizes her adopted brother/best friend AJ. I miss AJ too.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a special kind of movie and I have no idea why I started to thinking about it today. OH. Now I remember. Said reason behind remembering will be posted on a later date, but your guess is probably right. They are planning on making a sequel this year, so be prepared for a complete bastardization and a bunch of CGI mo-cap styled Pixar looking cartoon characters looking nothing like Warner Brothers/Disney styled art. Fuck you Hollywood. Clips are as follows: Judge Doom having a bit of a freak out, Roger having a freak out, Nina Hyena having a freak out.
