Supernatural Season Finale Review: Double Crosses and Cliffhangers

Sat, 19 May 2012 07:30:14 EDT

Wait. What? It's hard not to be left speechless by the last moments of the Supernatural finale. It was such a drastic veering in another direction entirely, not only was I surprised, but I'm not sure what to make of it or what it means for the future of season eight. For the most part the episode was pretty straightforward in its endeavors of finally trying to end Dick Roman's master plan. Yes, the silent but deadly fattening up of the human race for Leviathan for consumption found its end. Right? Apparently a grand scheme is only as good as its leader and without someone putting additives into creamer and killing off the skinny people, the black goo is now left to squiggle around aimlessly. I certainly appreciated the idea surrounding the baddies from Purgatory, after all, what's scarier than something you not only can't kill, but have no idea is taking over the world. It's clearly the ultimate worst form of an enemy anyone could possibly face. While I think the concept stood out on paper, the follow through was less impactful. Simply put, the Leviathan (aside from when they first appeared in Castiel) lacked the ability to come off as scary or provide a true sense that they were the most nefariously clever and destructive. It just never really stuck with me and even their absence from a good portion of the episodes added to their flaws. Which of course is nothing to take away from James Patrick Stuart who portrayed Dick Roman with as much smarminess, charm, and deviant form of board room corporate plotting that any character might be able to. He certainly oozed a confidence in laying out his master plan, but it was the Leviathan as a whole that really kept me from eagerly awaiting his scenes. If anything, I truly believe, his type of character would be perfect for some legal thriller or business focused television show. Stuart certainly had the evil grin down pat. So, when it came time for Dick Roman to scoop his traveling gear and get to stepping (a la righteous bone with blood of the fallen through the neck) I was kind of glad. I truly expected the cliffhanger to end with the brothers unable to stop him, but the Leviathan seemed to get the quick sweep up and toss out. Of course, the majority of them are still out there, but they just don't have a goal in mind anymore. Maybe it lessens their presence sure, but it does bring the show back to Purgatory which I find immensely interesting. I mean, how can Dean and the broken Castiel manage to escape? I know the brothers have been to heaven and hell and back, but Purgatory? The place where the souls of monsters battle it out for eternity? I have absolutely no idea how they are going to get out of this one. It was definitely a great way to leave viewers hanging and allowing us to mull over exactly what just happened. I'll have images of dark woods laced with horrible red eyes in my head for a while. I'm sure Sam has no idea what to do and with no sounding board or help in any corner, he truly is alone. What do you even do in that situation when the King of Hell manages another double cross, takes a prophet of God, and disappears without a care in the world. Not to mention that Bobby has finally passed on and the usual guardian angel is so messed up that he plays board games by himself, but is now trapped in a place without an easy exit. The vengeful ghost of Bobby may have felt like it was quickly resolved and I wonder if his return was necessary for the plot, even if I missed his character. Either way, his final (is it really though?) moment was a solemn and sad sacrifice that the gruff man admitted needed to be done. You could tell the boys didn't want it to happen but knew that Bobby wouldn't have a happy ending without it. Bye, Bobby. Rest in Peace. I was extremely happy when the Impala roared back onto the screen accompanied by the Born to Be Wild song. The car is truly its own iconic character and I've missed seeing the brothers race around in it. Although it doesn't seem as if even the vehicle can help Sam or even guide him in what to do? Is Crowley now in that position of power? What does he even need a prophet for? I've got a feeling the demons will be back next season and hopefully reignite the presence of the main story villain. "Survival of the Fittest" looked to tie up some lose ends and while not my favorite episode of the season, delivered some solid moments and a fantastic cliffhanger ending. There's certainly a new positive direction the show can go after the defeat of Dick and while I'm excited to see what's in store for Sam and Dean, I just wish we didn't have to wait for next fall. Guess we'll just have to play Twister by ourselves until then. What did you think of the finale? How will Dean get out of Purgatory? How will Sam cope? Are the Leviathan finished for good? Sound off below!

Why Is the Film Industry So Invested in Destroying Film?

Sat, 19 May 2012 03:00:07 EDT

The question is no longer ‘is the future of cinema digital?’ Clearly, the future of cinema is digital. Digital is an amazing new medium, versatile, democratic, cheap and with a huge potential to create an exciting new cinema. But it is not film. Digital differs in every aspect: in production, enormously in post-production, in quality, in how it is made, shown, received and experienced. It is a different medium. So the question should be: does the future of cinema have to be exclusively digital? read more

Awake Review: Perilous Positions

Fri, 18 May 2012 06:00:10 EDT

All realities collide in "Two Birds" and things aren’t looking so good for Britten. While I thought the conspiracy might be contained in the red reality, it’s looking more and more likely that may not be the case, and it shouldn’t be. The repercussions of the accident ripple out in both realities, and they both have lasting consequences on Britten because of it. Therefore, it then becomes a question of who can Britten trust, because he can’t involve his family, and both Dr. Lee and Dr. Evans refused to believe his predicament. It’s hard not to blame them. Britten looks like someone who’s finally experienced a mental break. Jason Isaacs portrayed it physically as well. Many times a character that suffers a mental break still looks completely put together. Michael, on the other hand, isn’t clean-shaven and doesn’t look like he’s slept in days. Which would make sense because if he's sleeping he's potentially not in green, and that means he can't focus all of his energy on that conspiracy board in the garage. Getting back to trust, since both doctors refused to help Britten, and, as I predicted last week, since the two of them refused to participate in the conspiracy things did get worse. Which makes Britten such a tragic character tonight. He’s so focused on this conspiracy and the why behind the accident that he’s losing sight of his realities. He’s put himself in peril on both sides, hovering near death on Red, and locked away for potential murder in Green. Simply put, Britten’s put himself in a corner, Bird now has a target on his back (while the other is target practice – Rest in Peace Red Bird), and he’s one step away from his son and wife losing everything. Harper continues to be an enigma, however, and just when it seems she might be interested in helping Britten she retreats back to covering her tracks. There’s a big, unknown grey area to her. In one scene she’s breaking down crying by herself, and in the next she’s grilling Vega (who finally grew a backbone and defended his partner!). It does open up a dichotomy though, as it seems in Green she’s at least somewhat interested in hearing Britten out. It might all be a clever ruse to learn what exactly he has so she can cover up her tracks, or it could another one of Awake’s underlying themes of small differences. Real Reality Check With so much going on tonight, it’s very hard to pick which side is real. With the conspiracy now bleeding over to Green, it’s even harder to choose. However, I’m choosing Green again only because Britten getting shot sent him back there. Two More Thoughts As predicted, NBC has cancelled Awake. I’m certainly going to miss this world every Thursday, and I wish the cast and crew all the best in their future projects. Awake works so much better when there’s one unifying case. It’s too bad it took this long for the show to try that instead of constantly trying to juggle two different ones. What did you think of tonight's Awake?

Discovery + Revision3 = Biggest Non-Fiction Video Company Across All Screens

Fri, 18 May 2012 04:00:39 EDT

Jim Louderback, the CEO of new media studio and distribution network Revision3 (which is also the object of Discovery Channel’s recent affections), was in New York this week and swung by our Multi-Screen Mix-Up for a casual Q&A with an excellent facilitator of compelling conversations about the online video industry. (Editor’s Note: That facilitator was me.) We discussed the genesis of Revision3, what kind of programming the company creates, how it works with a wide variety of uber-popular YouTube stars (from Epic Meal Time to Phil DeFranco), the amazing response online video viewers have to its advertising techniques, and why Discovery makes for a great partner. Here’s a trio of key takeaways: Revision3’s advertising has crazy recall rates. 99% of individuals who watch Revision3 programming are able to name a Revision3 sponsor. And what’s more, over 50% of those individuals who watch Revision3 programming are consumers of Revision3’s sponsors’ goods. Howard Stern is really good at advertising. The way Revision3 gets those crazy recall rates is by employing an advertising technique with which anyone who’s seen Private Parts will be familiar. It’s the one where the host of the show is given a list of key points the advertiser wants him or her to mention. Then the host conceives of his or her own spiel in his or her own words about the brand, product, good, or service that he or she is advertising. This ensures the ad is endemic to the program and not only inoffensive to the viewers, but something fans of the show may actually enjoyVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

CW President Talks Future of Gossip Girl, Supernatural... The Selection?

Thu, 17 May 2012 21:30:08 EDT

Immediately following his network's Upfront presentation in New York today, CW president Mark Pedowitz looked forward and looked back in press conference with reporters, yours truly included. Among the topics covered: Pedowitz lamented the demise of Ringer as a "serialized" show and said it may have worked better if it ran consecutive new episodes: "The show was well-crafted, well-produced, well-written, but... after it finished a run in the fall and came back in January, the audience went somewhere else. And it just could not find the 18-34 demo that we hoped.” Such thinking is why The CW will air Cult in midseason, running all 13 new episodes in a row. On Supernatural, which has made the unusual move back to midweek: "I'm not looking at Season 8 as the final year in any way, shape or form." On the final season of Gossip Girl: It may be 10 episodes, it may be 11. But the goal is to conclude its run in 2012 and include a retrospective at some point. The Selection is not dead. It even air in January, but is being retooled, with only Aimee Teegarden guaranteed to remain part of the cast. Yes, new episodes will not air until October across the board. But this will mean no reruns until December, with the exception of Thanksgiving week.

Upfront week is the television industry's annual rite at which networks preview upcoming shows in hopes of getting them to buy commercial time in advance. ...

Scandal Star Kerry Washington Talks Twists, Teases Season Finale

Thu, 17 May 2012 13:00:10 EDT

Who sent the tape? Is the First Lady behind everything? What's the story behind Olivia's team? Will Gideon survive? It seems we've all been blown away by some of the revelations on Scandal's inaugural season. Even the stars of the show. Leading lady Kerry Washington took some time out to chat with me about the season and Thursday's finale. If we think we've been shocked so far, Washington cautions us to hold on to our hats! "In this week’s season finale, both Matt Letscher who plays Billy Chambers, and Bellamy Young, the First Lady, will astound you. For sure," she told me. Read on to find out what she had to say about being Olivia, her favorite twist and season two... One of the thing that drew Washington to the character of Olivia Pope is the latter's many layers. When asked if she sees herself in Olivia, Washington replied "I'm an authentic person... but I understand that there are different kinds of ways of interacting with different kinds of people in our life. And most of us have that."Washington continued, "You know, we have sort of a way that we confirm our identity on a first date and it's different from the way we confirm our identity on the first day of a new job." So far this season we've seen Olivia take on a dictator and cry in a coat closet, but both sides are what make Olivia so real. Washington stated, "I have a real sense of that. Of being authentically myself but expressing that in different ways in different contexts." Just like Washington promised in our last interview, nothing on this show is exactly as it seems. Everyone has secrets and no one is who the viewers think. Washington's favorite twist so far? "I think the Huck twist was one that really had a very profound impact on me emotionally. For me the whole show changed at that moment, my whole understanding of Olivia and the office and the world of the show." Huck's story was definitely, in this reviewer's opinion, the most powerful of the season as far as the stories of the various members of Pope and Associates are concerned. Washington went on to say: "[Huck's story] really made you understand how intensely enmeshed Pope and Associates are." The tone was set for "Crash and Burn" by Darby Stanchfield's Abby Whelan in the previous week. Washington said, "you could walk away from that episode thinking 'these two women have this very intense connection' but the Huck episode you went 'oh, this is kind of what it’s like at Pope and Associates.'" Each of the characters have "these very intense histories with each other and their own intense relationships with crisis which is part of what makes them great at their job. When somebody walks in the door at Pope & Associates all of the associates are going to come at that with a sense of understanding and compassion because we’ve all had a worst moment that we’ve had to manage." We also discussed the palpable chemistry between Olivia and President Fitz and the different fan reactions Washington has witnessed regarding this pairing. "This is to date one of the great things of the show," Washington said. "Some people saw last week’s episode and said 'Now I really want Fitz and Olivia to be together.'" Others, however, "feel like this is 'a nightmare. This is not a man who understands what love is. He’s just hungry for power.' "People have such really different, strong reactions to this relationship and that fascinates me. I think it’s great." Finally, talked turned to Scandal being renewed for a second season, news cast members and fans alike had been eager to hear. Washington said, "It is so exciting! I feel really blessed. I’m excited to get back to work with my Scandal fam." The Scandal season finale will air this Thursday at 10:00 p.m. on ABC.

The Story of a Heartbroken Hipster Who ‘Hates Being Single’

Thu, 17 May 2012 11:00:10 EDT

You’ve seen the story of a man or woman rebounding from a painful breakup a billion times in a million romantic comedies, often as enacted by Kate Hudson and/or Matthew David McConaughey Anna Faris and/or Katherine Heigl and/or Jennifer Garner in performances reinforcing Western gender stereotypes. I Hate Being Single is different. It gives the same romcom premise a hipster spin. New York City borough-based Actor/comedian/writer Rob Michael Hugel created and stars in the series that features a cast of funny people from Upright Citizens Brigade with acting so subtle it’s almost like they took a page from the hipster playbook and try not to care. The action follows the post-breakup heartbreak of a poor Brooklyn owner of skinny jeans, the series is more ha-ha funny than laugh out loud, but it’s odd, entertaining and completely engrossing nonetheless. Here’s an example: In the second episode, Hugel’s character is about to share some steamy couch time with a member of the opposite sex when he decides to put on something more comfortable. A Snuggie. And not just any Snuggie, but a homemade Snuggie made by his grandmother that he refuses to take off. It’s that kind of matter-of-fact, oddball humor that defines the show, gives it a quirky feel, and captures your attentionVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

Law & Order: SVU Review: Nothing Beats a Great Pair of Legs

Thu, 17 May 2012 04:30:06 EDT

You know it's going to be an interesting night on SVU when someone finds a severed leg. Unfortunately, this episode doesn't quite deliver on the thrilling promise given by its subject matter - body modification. "Strange Beauty" is supposedly about the strange subculture of body modification. But, like many SVU episodes, the world of piercings, tattoos, ear hangings, etc. that the detectives investigate when tracking down their suspect is only a distraction from the real suspect. Red herrings are common on the series. Just two weeks ago, genetic sexual attraction was used as titillating, albeit disgusting, explanation for the crimes of a donor dad. This time, the detectives spent the better part of the evening investigating Nina Raedo's body modification tendencies and tracking down the person responsible for giving her elf ears. It was an exciting buildup and the interesting underground world Rollins and Fin were able to infiltrate seemed like a great backdrop for the show. But, as usual, the perpetrator is just another creep with sexual perversions and some mommy issues as well. In trying to blame the crime on his brother, Dr. Hal Brightman reveals the reason that he sexualizes the amputation of women's legs. His own mother's accident, which occurred when he was just entering puberty, warped his perception of beauty and sexuality. His patient Jess, a girl who lost her leg as a teenager, reignites his passion for amputated legs when she displays so much confidence about her modified body. Hal thinks he's helping women to achieve true beauty. In speaking to Rollins and Benson, he claims, "They're more complete now because of me. I transformed them." This seems like a similar sentiment for body modification enthusiasts, the joy of transforming and changing into their true selves. However, Hal's women are undergoing this procedure for his benefit, not their own. The five women he paid only did it for the compensation. Nina wasn't even a willing participant. Her path to finding her own identity through body modification was interrupted by Hal's attack. So a story that opens with an interesting premise but turns out to be all about a man imposing his perception of beauty on other women, forcing them to conform to it. Kind of a disappointing turn, right? The episode also gave us a brief glimpse into Rollins personal life, as her former captain came up to visit her. He made a move, and she was unprepared to deal with it, especially since he's still married. It seems Rollins is more focused on doing her job and avoiding gambling (she's doing so well she rewarded herself with a tasteful tattoo!). Will there be any romance in her future?

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - The least popular thing on TV is Dish's new ad-skipping feature Auto Hop - at least among network executives. But that doesn't mean viewers won't embrace it. The question is whether they'll still like it if it leads to higher Dish bills. Or - if things go completely wild - less access to their favorite shows. Neither are likely to happen soon, especially since the new feature is a mere week old and unknown to most viewers. It's still unclear what effect, if any, it will have on network viewing. ...

Ben Silverman just created a third.

HUNGRY is helmed by CEO Bruce Siedel (who Silverman and company poached earlier this year from his Senior Vice President of Programming and Special Productions position at Food Network and Cooking Channel, where he was responsible for developing shows like Food Network Star and Iron Chef America) who will be assisted by celebrity chef and fondant’s biggest fan Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes, Sugar High) in the capacity of talent and programming consultantVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

Coleman, whose spunky personality, pudgy cheeks and comic timing at age 10 made him a prime time sensation in 1978, died two years ago at age 42 after suffering a brain hemorrhage in an accidental fall at his Utah home.

Glee Review: We Are The Champions

Wed, 16 May 2012 03:00:28 EDT

Glee is the champion, my friends. The show kept on fighting until the almost-end. Glee is the...okay. Enough of that. You get the picture, right? While I didn't love every single minute of tonight's two hour smorgasbord of song, season 3 is certainly attempting to finish stronger than it started. Let's talk about what I didn't like from each of tonight's two episodes and go ahead and get that nastiness out of the way, shall we? First, from "Props," I really wanted Tina's dream to last longer. It had the potential to be silly and fun and to liven the show up a bit. Imagine how funny it would be to see Puck-as-Blaine belting out a show tune. Instead, we got a literal "sing a solo in someone else's shoes" from Tina-as-Rachel and then Tina woke up and suddenly understood what it must be like to be Rachel Berry. Really? That's the best you can do? I liked Tina challenging Rachel because Tina's right. She's an original member of Glee and she's been relegated to back-up dancer. Perhaps she'll have her time to shine next season, but I couldn't help but feel for the girl just a little bit. She deserves a standing ovation, too. I was also a bit put-off with her pleading with Carmen Tibideaux on Rachel's behalf, and that's an irritation that carried over into Jesse St. James doing the same thing during "Nationals." We all know Rachel will get into NYADA, but the begging and the muffins and the voicemails and the downright stalker-like behavior was too much. Tibideaux was right. Every second she spends on Rachel's craziness is time she has to take away from another student who didn't choke at the audition. Rachel needed to hear and understand that, and while I think she did, it was still over-the-top annoying instead of over-the-top funny. "Props" also helped me define what it was about Coach Beiste's domestic violence PSA that was so out of place, and I come at this from the place of someone who is a high school teacher and not only a casual viewer of the show. Mercedes, Santana, and Brittany did not in any way, either now or two episodes ago, need to be involved as the impetus that made Beiste leave Cooter. Puck was enough for that. Which is what happened to be my favorite part of tonight's first hour. The Puck/Coach Beiste scenes tonight were amazing. Mark Salling and Dot Marie Jones nailed their performances and had me near tears. What worked about Puck's story line is that he didn't even know he was helping her. In reality, while a teacher may share parts of his or her personal life with the students in his or her classroom, he or she would almost never do so in the manner in which the domestic violence story line was carried out on Glee. To do so would border on a violation of professional ethics. And yes, I realize that this is the same show where the Spanish teacher who speaks no Spanish wants to move his wedding up six months so that high school students can attend, but still. It's not unlikely that in the course of helping a student like Puck, one who feels defeated and alone, realize his worth and value as a person, the teacher would also realize that the message she's sharing with him applies to herself. That's what happened tonight and that's what redeemed that story line for me. THAT was good story telling. And it gave us the short, sweet, masterfully delivered line You are loved, punkin. You are not alone. Perfect for the two of them, right? Listen up, writers. I need more Dot Marie next season, okay? Other things I loved: The New Directions finally won Nationals! I knew it would happen. I knew it had to happen. The progression of their competitions over the past three seasons has pointed toward this moment. And their set had been flawless, right? While judges Lindsay Lohan and Perez Hilton, as themselves, were debating which show choir would win, I'll admit there was a part of me, maybe the former choir member who now only sings in her car, who thought "Oh no! What if they don't win!? What if Wade "Unique" Adams and Vocal Adrenaline out-shined them up there." (Be sure to check out the Glee quotes page for LiLo's verbal gems.) I may have held my breath while waiting for the announcement. But, the New Directions were victorious, and they received a hero's welcome of streamers and confetti instead of slushee facials, even from the hockey players who'd beaten Puck up just a few days before. The New Directions aren't the only ones who were victorious. Sue got her Cheerios back and Will got Emma. She was finally ready to have sex with him and told him so through a pamphlet left strategically on a desk where she knew he'd find it. How very quirky. And yet somehow perfect for the pair. To make Will's year even better, he was crowned Teacher of the Year in a ceremony that finally gave us the gang singing "We Are the Champions." (Check out more songs on the Glee music page.) But the best part of tonight was that it was a continuation of the circular trip the show has been taking over the course of the past few weeks. Rachel Berry said it best: I mean, in a sea full of kids who are just desperately clinging to their own kind, we're different. We took the time to get to know each other and reach out and accept one another. That's our unique factor. And that's what I love about us. Tonight, once again, the show reminded us that this is a show about misfits, underdogs who find their places with each other in the murky waters of high school. Once again, we were reminded of what it felt like to be in high school, maybe on the fringe of the mainstream, but swimming along with everyone else. We found our places, right? I know I did. And our characters did, too. In these final episodes of the season, we've seen a return to the stories of the characters we fell in love with in season one. We've also seen how, when done well, new characters can be sewn into the fabric of this show in a way that makes us root for them, too. Something tells me we may be seeing more Unique next season. Cheers, writers, for giving me characters I still want to see go from underdog to top dog, even after that messy middle of the season. What did you think of "Props" and "Nationals"? Which musical performance was your favorite?

Ben Stiller Drops In On Yahoo’s Mock-Reality Series ‘Burning Love’

Wed, 16 May 2012 01:00:06 EDT

Ken Marino (Childrens Hospital) is starring in Yahoo's latest original: mock-reality series Burning Love, which is slated to premiere on the Yahoo! Comedy Channel June 4th. One part The Bachelor, one part Horrible People, Burning Love follows hunky fireman Mark Orlando (Marino) in his search for the perfect partner in a faux elimination-style reality show. Teeming with irony, Burning Love features all the accoutrements you'd expect from a network reality series: from champagne toasts, candles, heartbreak, bubble baths, chocolate, choreography, hair extensions, roller skating, betrayal, and spray-tans. "Mark Orlando is used to feeling the heat of fire," says the narrator in the series trailer. "But now he's looking for someone to ignite the flames of love." The trailer features Ben Stiller, the series' executive producer along with fellow Red Hour producers Stuart Cornfeld and Mike Rosenstein, as well as Abominable Pictures’ Jonathan Stern, Marino, and Erica Oyama. The series will also feature well-known comedic actors from film and television including Malin Akerman (Rock of Ages), Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Michael Ian Black (The State), Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation), Ken Jeong (Community), Abigail Spencer (Cowboys & Aliens), Deanna Russo (Knight Rider), Natasha Leggero (Are You There, Chelsea?), June Diane Raphael (New Girl), Janet Varney (Entourage), Noureen DeWulf (Anger Management), Beth Dover (Childrens Hospital), Morgan Walsh (Happy Endings), Helen Slayton-Hughes (Parks and Recreation), Carla Gallo (Get Him to the Greek), Kerry Kenney (Reno 911), Jake Pavelka (The Bachelor), and Erin MuroskiVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

A Kickstarter Campaign with a Transmedia Twist from ‘Anyone But Me’ Scribe

Tue, 15 May 2012 08:00:09 EDT

Transmedia isn’t just a buzzword, but an engaging and cost effective tactic employed by content creators to entice fans and keep them entertained and engaged between regularly scheduled programming. Or that’s at least one of the things transmedia can be if it’s done well. And Tina Cesa Ward hopes to do it well. The co-creator of the hit web series Anyone But Me (which she made with Susan Miller and recently aired its series finale after three seasons, 25 episodes and tens of millions of views) is launching a new unsettling character drama with a touch of humor. It’s called Guards of Dagmar, and is set in the supernatural and mysterious world of “a residency for the developmentally and intellectually disabled. The show’s creator plans to do her best to recreate components of that world in ours using various social media tools and internet tricks (as advised by transmedia storytelling experts No Mimes Media). “With the transmedia elements for Guards of Dagmar, I want to create a world that fans can be a part of in between episodes,” Ward explained over email. “Because the story is so complex and there are so many mysteries to be uncovered I think it's ripe for the transmedia story world.” Here’s a more in-depth description of Guards of Dagmar so you can know what world the transmedia will bring to further fruitionVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

Hart of Dixie Review: Run Right Back to You

Tue, 15 May 2012 01:30:05 EDT

This is the Hart of Dixie I’ve been waiting for. The process didn’t happen overnight – my feelings were certainly frayed at times over the pace – but in the end "The Big Day" finally played Dixie’s best card: the love triangle. Now the fun can begin. Now we get to watch Zoe teeter between two different guys, and watch each of their personalities come shining through. Now we can watch Wade and George begin trying to one up each other trying to win Zoe’s heart. Now we can watch Zoe finally begin falling in love. Plus, with the love triangle it finally frees up some characters in desperate need of finding themselves: Lavon and Lemon. Lavon is stuck in this limbo that he hasn’t gotten over yet, as much as he likes to believe he has, and Lemon is so infatuated with the idea of marriage and its spoils that she was rushing things for all the wrong reasons. In fact, we finally watched Lemon open up a little bit tonight as she discussed her mistakes, albeit vaguely, with Anna Beth. Either way any kind of emotional baby step for Lemon is better than nothing, she’s still one of the most annoying characters ever. At least now Lemon finally realizes no matter how much work goes into something, when you hurt someone things take time to heal. No amount of rushing can fix that, and no amount of hiding behind status and grand ideas can fix it either. George realized it too as he finally began to realize the feelings he’s having for Zoe, the feelings we’ve known he’s had since the series premiere. I have to give George a lot of credit for taking the hard way out, and not entering in to a wedding with Lemon when he wasn’t fully sure. But let’s be honest, did anyone actually think George was going to go through with the wedding? It seemed like just about everything was out to get him and make sure the wedding didn’t happen. It was raining, the roof was leaking and breaking apart, the firehouse dog ate the cake. Couple that with the doubts George has been having prior, and it was a blessing the wedding made it that far at all. While we’re being honest I don’t think George (nor I) expected Lemon would punch him in the face for calling off the wedding. There was bound bound to be some bruised egos, but faces? That’s a new one. Speaking of lips, after denying the chemistry they’ve had all season, Wade and Zoe finally decided to take things where they may go. And, boy, did they have a go at it, and it all culminated with George at Zoe’s door professing his love for her with Wade none the wiser. Might I suggest Hart of Dixie use drama a little more often? I’ll all for comfort television, but this is the first night I’ve truly felt connected to the show and couldn’t wait to see where things were heading. It was absolutely fantastic tonight. No matter how things are resolved and where they go, it’s going to be a very fun second season. Other thoughts: With the big commotion George has caused it won’t take long before Brick gets wind of things, and I can only imagine how he’ll take it out on Zoe. The practice took a bit of a backseat in the second half of the season (as did the medical aspect of the show), and I would love to see some of that work its way back into the story. Can we have adorable baby goats on this show all the time? I’m hoping Wade’s bar becomes more than an idea next season. What did you think Dixie fans?

Mad Men Review: Get On The Scale, Get Off The Scale

Mon, 14 May 2012 08:30:07 EDT

Both of Don Draper's former wives made valiant returns in "Dark Shadows." Fat Betty ate up the screen (pun intended) with every emotion you can imagine, while the deceased Anna Draper appeared in mention only via an attempt to cause a rift in Don's now solid family situation. Although everyone in the known universe hates Betty Francis, it is difficult to argue that January Jones has been amazing in the role over these past five years. Let's look at the depth at which she portrayed the character this week by running through the many emotions of Fat Betty... SadnessNot only did it make me sad watching Betty attend those bizarre Weight Watcher meetings, it obviously was making her sad to be there. The leader of that crew is all well and good, but I think they could all benefit from a more influential instructor. I would suggest someone like Tony Perkis, who always knows how to treat his students at a "weigh-in." JealousyWith things seemingly not running so smoothly with Henry, Betty was supremely jealous when she walked through Don's apartment. The trendy furniture wasn't the only thing she was jealous of, though. Seeing Megan with her shirt off – and later reading that note from Don to his new wife – must have shattered Fat Betty's self confidence a lot. GuiltShe certainly is trying, but after that encounter with Megan, Betty just had to go straight for the fridge once she returned home. I don't know why, but in that split second she was opening the door, I couldn't have been more interested. What was she going to choose? Carrots? A ham? Ice cream? Nope, she went right for the whipped cream, and took it to the face like a pro. The guilt hit her like a ton of bricks, however, and watching her spit the cream out into the sink was hilarious. JoyAlthough she showed many emotions in taking that lone bite at dinner, my favorite to see on Betty's face was joy. She was happy to be eating a wonderful piece of food, and because her relationship isn't what she wanted it to be and she seemingly has no friends at this point, that one bite was the happiest she is going to be for the time being. As she chewed, though, it seemed like she also felt more guilt, then confusion, the sadness, jealousy, and joy again. Jones was great in this episode, and she did it so quietly. There were no "That's what the money is for!" outbursts leading to this high praise. She subtly put forth a fantastic performance around many other great performances. The other Draper ladies were amazing as well, especially the scene between Megan and Sally. To paraphrase Don, which one was the child? Sally had complete control over Megan as she demanded to know who Anna was, and basically was telling her stepmother to give her what she wants and then keep her mouth shut. "Don't you dare tell Don I asked you." She is feisty, and Keirnan Shipka was unsurprisingly wonderful. As much as fans have begun to hate Megan as much as Betty lately, I remain steadfast of the opinion that she is good for Don. Take, for example, when she told him about what happened with the whole Sally/Anna/Betty thing. He was fired up and ready to call Betty to yell at her, but Megan calmed him down, and explained that Betty wanted nothing more than that. She reasons with the man who sometimes can seem as unreasonable as they come. Finally, "Dark Shadows" was also filled with some great SCDP drama. Don dealing with Ginsberg's rise to success, but mostly that single creative meeting in which they both pitched their Sno Ball ideas, was intriguing to say the least. Both ideas were enjoyed by all. The difference seems to be that Michael is coming up with a million ideas all of the time. They aren't all that thought out, they're not that brilliant, but they're funny. Don, on the other hand, spends hours and hours thinking of one idea. It is also funny, but it's a very different style, and I can see the advertising world slowly moving in Michael's direction. He is a rising star, and that might cause even more trouble for Don in the near future. What did you all think of this week's episode? Were you as impressed with Jones as I was? Are you afraid of Michael Ginsberg for Don? And how many more times is Pete going to dream of a naked Rory Gilmore this season?

Game of Thrones Review: What is Honor?

Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:05 EDT

It's hard to put a leash on a dog, once you've put a crown on his head. "A Man Without Honor" forces many Game of Thrones characters to consider their actions, along with the type of person they either think they are - or the type of person they want to be. We have Cersei finally crumbling, completing her journey from evil ice queen to sympathetic sibling. Or at least something resembling that, considering all she's done, all the sins for which she's now paying. Last season, it would have been impossible to imagine her counseling Sansa as she does here, to think of her actually warning the poor royal-to-be against loving Joffrey, as opposed to threatening that she must. But we've witnessed it building all season long, Cersei actually realizing just what she created. And it led to a terrific scene between brother and sister, where Tyrion couldn't bring himself to actually hug or comfort his relative, but, hey, he couldn't bring himself to mock her, either. That's a big step. We have Jon Snow, who last Game of Thrones review I referred to as boring, and who Ygritte echoed this week by calling "dull," but who also summed up what I meant in far a more precise description: the guy has been blindly following some code, never stopping to realize why he's pledging an oath or what he's actually fighting against. Are there dangers beyond the Wall? It sure seems that way. But is every Wildling an enemy? Of course not. You want to be a man with honor, Jon Snow. Stop and think about your actions. One needn't go to such extremes (no sex; heck, no smiles) in order to serve one's kingdom or protect one's people. Granted, Jon Snow couldn't bring himself to kill Ygritte, so he's perhaps started to question the code of the Night's Watch already. But let's hope it's not too late for the man who has been following what he's believed to be a clear path for so long, and who may now be realizing that he needs to at least open his eyes (but not Ygritte's legs... one step at a time.) to other possibilities. We have Theon, who wants to be a tough guy. He wants to please his father, to be a stone cold killer, to behead his enemies with a single, thoughtless chop. And he's taking every step possible to be just that person - but the expression on his face that closed this episode made it clear that Theon has no clue who he actually is, and he's hating the person he's become. It's extremely safe to assume those charred bodies were the orphans at the farm and not Bran and Rickon, but that doesn't exactly make Theon's actions forgivable. This is someone who traded in his honor a long time ago, and there's no way he can get it back now. We have Dany, whose entire journey has been of someone trying to be a leader. But she questioned this week just what she led her (mostly murdered) people into. What the heck is going on in Quath? We found out soon enough, of course, learning that Xaro has been teaming with the magical disappearing dude to essentially hold Dany and her dragons prisoner, using them for their coup against The Greatest City That Ever Was. Was this Xaro's plan all along? Or would things have gone a lot smoother, would Dany's guards still be alive, if she had simply agreed to marry him? The only person who actually knows who he is on Game of Thrones is Jaime Lannister. He's a killer and he knows it. He embraces it. It's a good thing I am who I am. I'd have been useless at anything else, he tells his relative, the former squire who acts once more like a squire in this case, just a squire against his will. His distant cousin fulfills the role Jaime legitimately believes he was meant to fulfill, getting out of the way just when his Lord needed him to. And Jaime later incurs Catelyn's wrath, but, really is he wrong? Ned Stark cheated on his wife. Ned Stark left his kids without a father because he simply had to be an honest Hand of the King, revealing to Cersei last season what he knew about Joffrey's bloodline. Was that honorable or stupid? Or irresponsible? Like his bastard son, did Ned really think out of actions? Or blindly follow a moral compass without thinking where it might lead? Overall, there was little real plot this week, outside of Dany's troubles in Qarth. We focused a great deal on characters talking to other characters - Jon Snow and Ygritte; Sansa and Cersei; Jaime and Catelyn; Arya and Tywin - and trying to figure out just who they actually are and just what they should actually do. What their legacy will be, Tywin might say. Only three episodes remain this season, and the walls don't feel like they're closing in on King's Landing as they maybe should be. We only had a brief scene with Robb, and nothing with Joffrey or Stannis. I'm hoping we return to the actual battle next Sunday. There's a game afoot and the main players going after the throne haven't been heard from in awhile.

Freddie Wong Wants You to Come Celebrate Rollercoaster Day on Monday!

Sun, 13 May 2012 22:00:04 EDT

May 14, 2012 is officially Rollercoaster Day. If you already know what Rollercoaster Day is, you’re all Dr. Frankenfurter waiting for it to arrive (and probably don’t understand the Rocky Horror reference). If you don’t know what Rollercoaster Day is, I’m all that Nintendo 64 Kid because I get to be the one that tells you about it. Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch (the two crazy talented special effects artists and filmmakers behind the super popular YouTube channel FreddieW and part of the team that’s creating Video Game High School with the support of a $273,725 Kickstarter campaign) conceived of Rollercoaster Day two years ago. The pair decided to go to Six Flags on a random regularly scheduled workday to live a little and enjoy the rides sans the lines. “Rollercoaster Day is about taking a day off from your usual routine to do something fun,” Wong intones over an image of Earth in his Rollercoaster Day Invitation video. “In our case, that’s to ride rollercoasters.” Wong and Laatsch were the only two people in the world to celebrate the first Rollercoaster Day. The second Rollercoaster Day, however, was observed by hundreds and recognized by thousands more. People drove from as far away as Oregon and Arizona to join Wong, Laatsch and other FreddieW fans who heard about the holiday by way of YouTube at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

The Average Online Video is 6.4 Minutes Long (and Getting Longer)

Sun, 13 May 2012 05:00:06 EDT

ComScore recently released the latest installment of its monthly US Online Video Rankings and there are at least two items of note inside the March numbers. One, Yahoo’s seemingly out-of-nowhere rise to claim the #2 spot in the Top U.S. Online Video Content Properties Ranked by Unique Video Viewers doesn’t appear to be a fluke. The video portal with an aggressive slate of comedy programming and a shiny new destination website on which to display it overtook VEVO in February to be second only to online video behemoth Google/YouTube on the chart. The jump up from its previous #3 position in January was due to a massive 20% increase in unique online video viewers (which equated to roughly 8 million individuals) in just one month’s time. That’s newsworthy in and of itself, but what’s even more impressive is Yahoo was able to sustain those numbers. In the last month of Q1 2012 the company garnered 60.6 million uniques, down slightly from its 60.8 million the month prior, but still well ahead of VEVO’s 51.3 million (and well behind Google/YouTube's 146.1 million). And two, the average length of an online video is up to 6 minutes and 24 seconds. That clocks in at an increase of 12 seconds month-over-month, 54 seconds over the past six months, and 1 minute 12 seconds year-over-year. If the the runtime of your average online video continues to increase at the same rate (almost 20% per year), it will reach 7 minutes and 26 seconds by March 2013, 22 minutes by March 2013, and a full half-hour by March by 2021. Hulu’s continual increase in the quantity of programming it offers surely accounts for some of the rise in the length of the average online video, but not all of it. (The internt’s go-to destination for on-demand movies and television shows served 1.01 billion - with a “b” - videos in March 2012. That makes for a more than 200 million video increase in just half-a-year's time.)Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.

There’s a delicate line that needs to be walked with fantasy movies. Often when it comes to invented solutions to modern problems, it can raise more questions than it answers. So we’re curious to see how The Odd Life of Timothy Green plays, as it tells the story of a couple (Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton) [...]

Sufe Bradshaw Speaks on Being "Junk Yard Dog" of Veep

Sat, 12 May 2012 22:30:08 EDT

Relatively speaking, the character of Sue rarely curses on HBO's uproarious new comedy, Veep. So I wanted to give star Sufe Bradshaw a chance to let loose when I got her on the phone this week. Did she have any interest in getting a few F bombs out of her system? "I think I cursed enough in my youth," she laughed. "I got it all out then." Fair enough. This makes Bradshaw perfect for the role of Selina Meyer's secretary, someone Bradshaw describes as "the junk yard dog of the office." "She doesn't get as worked up as everyone else," the actress said, referring to Matt Walsh's frazzled Mike or Anna Chlumsky's swearing Amy. "Sue just wants to get the schedule done, get the Vice President on time and go home." And not to a fake dog, either. Sue grounds the characters around her, while the cast itself spent six weeks rehearsing before filming a single scene, Bradshaw said. She gives all credit for the "witty banter" and the way it "feels like we're right in the moment with these lines" to creator Armando Iannucci, who emphasizes the importance of chemistry among the stars. And anyone who has watched any of the opening Veep episodes can see how well it works. The dialog feels unscripted, as if these people are just bantering back and forth as they work their way around Capitol Hill. "It's a really good time to laugh at politics because it's such a heavy topic," Bradshaw says of the show's setting. "We try not to be divisive, to take the separation out of various issues." Viewers will never meet the President on Veep, and there are no plans to reveal Selina's party. "I was born on the West Side of Chicago," she says. "And I observed a dividing line where some youth go toward education and the betterment of their lives, while some just go… the other way. I knew a lot who simply chose to go the other way and, through interviews and research, I hope to bring awareness to this issue and figure out what creates that dividing line." As Selina Meyer might say, that sounds like an effin awesome idea. Veep airs Sunday nights at 10 on HBO. It's hilarious.

‘PopSpot Video’ is ‘Pop Up Video’ for Viral Videos

Sat, 12 May 2012 12:00:08 EDT

Woody Thompson knows internet-connected Americans love memes. He also knows Americans in general love watching short-form entertainment properties they’ve already seen superimposed with “info nuggets” containing obscure facts, clever copy, cute graphics, and surprising anecdotes about said entertainment property and the people who created it. So, Thompson’s decided to combine the two. PopSpot Video is VH1’s Pop Up Video rebooted for the YouTube generation. The program features old viral videos we’ve all seen before made new again by way of giving us something we haven’t seen, tens of quirky-fact-filled bubbles popping up on screen by way of simple animation and a super cute sound effect. Did you know Antoine Dodson was holding a bus pass in his now world famous local news interview? And Amber Lee Ettinger aka Obama Girl was crowned Miss Manhattan 2003 by Hooters? Me neither! But after watching PopSpot Video, now we both do. If PopSpot Video doesn’t only look inspired by Pop Up Video, but kinda sorta like its exactly the same thing, that’s because both programs were created by the same people. Thompson was one of the original individuals behind the VH1 classic that let the world know (among many other things) Robin Williams is in the video for Bobby McFarren’s Don’t Worry Be Happy. The viral video iteration of Pop Up Video is officially produced by Eyeboogie, Thompson’s LA-based content creation company behind other online video programs like Yahoo’s Who Knew? and MSN’s Last Night on Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.

Nikita Review: Star Wars

Sat, 12 May 2012 05:30:24 EDT

Everything is not as it seemed.As Percy said last Friday, Nikita had no clue what he was really up to. He didn't want a bomb, instead he was after something much more dangerous,"Crossbow." This project would allow him to take control of a satellite weapon, which could destroy at his will.Even more surprising was that Percy didn't want this weapon to wield power for himself, rather it was a means to an end. Percy wants Division to join an even larger nefarious organization. Division, Oversight, Gogol ... pale in comparison to this covert international group it would seem. Now that Nikita has been renewed for a full 22 episode third season, have we been introduced to the new "big bad" for next fall?The new larger Team Nikita was in full force to make this plan work. Ryan, "the data whisperer," was key to finding out what was going on, but his relationship with Kendrick ultimately ruled the day. Team Nikita is no longer just rogue, but secretly in cahoots with the President.That was something I ever expected to see happen. But, when the country's security is threatened, the government and Nikita will do whatever they need in order to protect the people. They are on the "right" side of this battle.Unfortunately, it continues to be difficult to convince Division agents they are on the wrong side. Percy and Division have proved to be a difficult foe to beat. The brainwashing is so deep that their agents are thankful for their lives. From Robbie to the couple at the farm. None of them would even consider that Division was dirty. What a cliffhanger ... still in a bit of shock. At least that wasn't the season finale, we only have to wait one week to find out what happened next. Will Nikita be able to make out of Division? The blast looked like it took her down. If Percy captures her, what will he do?Back at the farmhouse, both Alex and Sean were under heavy fire without any protection. Will they defeat the Division agents? Who do you think is most likely to be killed in the finale? Odds and Ends Nikita has nightmares about Percy. That's not going to bode well for her if she does end up captured by him. Her worst fear coming true. Ever since Nikita and Michael had their heart-to-heart, they are so adorable together. It's nice to see a softer side to these normally fierce spies. What the heck was Nikita doing walking around in her nightie with her robe open? Hello? Poor Birkhoff! But, then again, he did get a kiss in before she left on the mission. I appreciate that Nikita brings back characters. In "Drop Dead," it was Stephen (Brendan Fehr) and in this episode, Robbie. They could have had used a generic Division agent, but the added continuity and personal connection to Alex added to the story. Nice recall of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). For those of you not alive back then, it was a real program. And, yes, it was called Star Wars. Michael: I guess there's a reason they called it Star Wars. Birkhoff: Star Wars? This thing worked as well as the Phantom Menace. | permalink Nikita: I'm the one with my ass on the line. Birkhoff: I know. (Kisses Nikita on the lips) May the force be with you. Nikita: Mikey, you can kick my ass when you get back. Okay, buddy? Michael: Will do. | permalink

The Annoying Orange Advertises Advertising to Advertisers

Fri, 11 May 2012 19:00:15 EDT

Online video is trying to its best to reach as many advertisers as possible. That was the whole point of the Digital Content NewFronts. It was a two-week long series of showcases where online video publishers and distributors aggregated as many individuals in charge of advertising dollars in the same room as possible and then told those individuals how online video is @#$%ing awesome, how many online video properties have bigger-than-television-sized audiences, and how - with tools only inherent to the internet - advertisers can better target, spend, and track their dollars in online video than on any other entertainment medium. The events were half edutainment and half dog and pony show, but they’re also not the only ways to reach advertisers to inform them about all the benefits of online video. Another way is by advertising. At least that’s what Michael Green, CEO of The Collective believes. The head of the “entertainment management, media and content production company” recently ordered a banner ad campaign to run on Adweek, a digital and weekly print publication for the American advertising industry. The Adweek campaign was for The Annoying Orange, one of The Collective’s online video partners with over a billion views on YouTube, a toy line in Toys “R” Us, a clothing line in JCPenney, and a TV show on Cartoon Network in the worksVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

Person of Interest Review: Spy Game

Fri, 11 May 2012 04:00:03 EDT

For a show about a super computer that watches you to the point where you can't really hide any secrets, Person of Interest is steeped in mystery and layers of hidden truth. Make no mistake, even amongst all the questions surrounding the characters and the created technology, the show continues to reveal more and more while tying it to the plot and people at hand rather than simply for the sake of disclosure. There's a real sense that even with the open and closed case of the episode, the larger stories are connected, the themes overlap, and the characters build beyond their most basic instincts. It's a forever unraveling of the world created without giving everything away. So, where Reese's vulnerable past became exposed last episode, The Machine conspiracy found its way back to the forefront in "No Good Deed." The thriller aspects associated with the dangers surrounding pertinent information were played up heavily. It was spy vs. spy vs. spy in the ultimate round robin that focused in on fists, facts and Finch. Clearly every one wants a piece, in some form or another, of Finch/The Machine. Sure, Reese has been ever so slowly trying to wrap his head around the numbers that pop up, NSA agent Henry Peck simply wanted the truth a la A Few Good Men (he handled the truth pretty well, considering), and the shadowy puppeteer of Washington officials are willing to kill for any association with it. Let's not forget the now broken and nervous wreck, Alicia Corwin, who seems to have taken her own downfall because of the Machine, and perhaps wants a way to get her life back. The Machine is top prize and while its uses are for good, Finch's flashbacks indicate the possibility of it being used for bad. And like the title suggests, Nathan Ingram's "good deed" to provide a fail-safe for the computer either led to his demise and/or the negative factions of government operatives that manipulate its uses. Talk about conspiracy. Of course, Person of Interest isn't without its action and it ripped in some great hand to hand combat scenes, some gunplay with a two and a half men joke, and exploding cars. Did that bad guy not look like a version of Chuck Norris? The frenetic fight sequences are so entertaining that sometimes its easy to forget that this is a TV show. But apart from the winding threads of the Machine and its abilities, was the eye opening and heartbreaking discovery that Finch had a fiance. Yes, the man who has trouble with "human interaction" had a four year loving relationship that he was forced to give up to avoid putting her in danger. I wasn't expecting that reveal and it was just another example of how the show finds ways to humanize and draw out emotion for its outwardly closed off characters. It's never too much to make you want to roll your eyes while at the same time it establishes the perfect peek inwards before shutting it and returning back to the larger focus on hand. Because there is truly so much going on that even with one episode left, the possibilities of where the show can go are endless. And that's not to say that the variety of plot directions are left flapping in the breeze and forgotten. With a list that includes Elias, the computer hacker "Root," the corrupt police force "HR," the FBI/CIA war, and the Washington officials, there's so many battles Reese and Finch might have to face. That doesn't even include the wary connection of Carter and Fusco, or the haunted pasts of the main characters in their struggle to do the right thing. And I love that there are so many outlets to take and that even with its fast paced combination of action and drama, it hasn't rushed its overall story. I'm all for the continuing exploration of the characters and their world if the show keeps up these solidly top notch episodes. Person of Interest is the show that keeps on giving.

The First Drafts Series: World’s Greatest Web Stars’ First (and Worst) Works – Fre

Fri, 11 May 2012 02:00:04 EDT

Before he was the star of two Nickelodeon feature films, an upcoming theatrical feature, his own television show, and the winner of a Teen Choice Award, Lucas Cruikshank (a.k.a. fast-talking Fred Figglehorn) was....Kelly: The girl with a bladder infection. Once you overcome your shock and awe that he can actually speak at a normal speed, consider this: When Lucas Cruikshank first began posting vids on YouTube, he had about as much chance of becoming a movie star as a lawn chair. He was 12 years old and lived in Columbus, Nebraska, which is about as far away from Hollywood as Sirius the Dog Star. Yet somehow, he went on to guest star on Hannah Montana, iJustine and even iCarly. Yes, we know. You're not a pre or immediately post-pubescent teen, so you hate Fred. You find him annoying. You want to use whatever noise is coming out of his larynx for the purposes of torturing your enemies. But you’ve got to admit, he’s got a good thing going. So what can we learn from him, especially from this very first attempt? Well, a few things: If you’ve got mad talent, start making videos today. Check out Cruikshank’s raw talent. He’s a natural. He’s comfortable talking about bladder infections, he’s comfortable playing a girl, and he makes us laugh in spite of ourselves. What’s the lesson? If you’re this creative and charismatic, start making videos NOW. Oh, and don’t let a lack of resources deter you. As half-a-billion-views-hitter and YouTube superstar Freddie Wong says, “Don't ever let a lack of equipment or programs stop you from going out and making videos -- use whatever you can get your hands on.”Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.

The Killing - Season 2 - Brent Sexton Interview

Thu, 10 May 2012 11:00:17 EDT

Thanks to Sheldon for the heads up.AMC’s clever and moody crime drama The Killing is midway through its second season, and according to the show’s developer/producer Veena Sud, we are just a handful of episodes away from knowing definitively who killed Rosie Larsen. Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with Deadwood and Life alum Brent Sexton and explore his character Stan in deeper detail, as well as address some of the criticisms leveled at the show following its controversial season one finale.As Brent points out during our interview, The Killing is a show in which everyone is hiding a secret, and we are only now coming to terms with the details of Stan’s past as an enforcer for the Polish Mob. Yet despite his past (or perhaps because of it) Stan elicits strong empathy from audiences as a grieving father torn between a violent past and the desire for redemption. I begin by asking Brent what it’s been like to be under the skin of this complex character for two seasons.“The situation with these people is grief,’ explains Brent. “They’re trying to process grief and gain some resolution. I was told a long time ago by one of my great teachers that anger is an end result. It’s all the other colors underneath – fear, grief and so on – that’s what’s really going on with somebody when they’re angry, but they’re probably unconscious of it. So I thought it was more important to show that than to show the anger, because that’s what is really going on with Stan. As he said in the first season, Rosie really was his salvation. She got him out of the mafia. And of course, he still carries massive guilt and regret over the way he got out. I think in his own way, he thought the best way he could best deal with that was to save Belko from that life and to become a family man, and to own a respectable business.”Source: Full Interview @ chevronone Originally Posted on SpoilerTV

Law & Order: SVU Review: Private Education

Thu, 10 May 2012 02:30:08 EDT

Ah, the twists and turns of a classic SVU storyline. You think you're getting an investigation into one crime, when another pops up seemingly out of nowhere. "Learning Curve" was advertised as a dramatic episode for Fin and his gay son. Turns out, that plot was just the catalyst for another investigation. It wasn't necessarily a bait-and-switch (we did get some tense scenes in the hospital room), but the misdirect was somewhat unexpected. After last week's episode veered away from the personal lives of our detectives, Fin's relationship with his son (always a little rocky) became the focus at the show's opening. While it was nice to see that Fin had worked through the majority of his problems with his son's sexuality, I felt like these scenes were included just to show us how tolerant he is now. Becoming an advocate for his son, he can't help but speak up when Rollins mentions Joanne Parsons closeted homosexuality and taking the opportunity to talk to Alejandro's father when he shuts Ken out of the hospital room. Fin's scenes, especially his final speech to a comatose Alejandro, seemed more like his character's need to prove that he has evolved into a more open-minded individual. Hopefully, Alejandro will recover, and Fin will get the chance to be closer to his son. But the question remains, was there a little too much emphasis on Fin's relationship with his son during the promos? The main storyline involving an allegation of molestation at a private school seemed a little standard for the show at first. But, excitingly enough, it wasn't an open and shut case. This episode succeeded in keeping my attention more so than most of this season's installments because it didn't settle for the obvious answers. Like many past episodes of SVU, this one ratcheted up the tension by moving unexpectedly from the hate crimes that victimized Alejandro to a mystery that continues to grow even as the detectives struggle to unravel it. From the moment the detectives interviewed Luca, there was clearly more to the story, and Amaro, always a keen investigator, picked up on the strangeness of the case. He was even provoked into outright verbally badgering the victim when things didn't seem right. The truth, it turns out, was far more complex and fiendish. The strange relationship between Joanne, Natalie, and Luca gave off shades of the intense psychological drama Notes on a Scandal. Joanne, the high-strung and closeted lesbian, gets caught in an awful position when she witnesses her friend (and possible love interest) having sex with a student. Joanne may have called Luca the master manipulator, but it's clear that Natalie was really pulling the strings here. She kept control over both these victims until Luca snapped from the pressure of it all. The plot was incredibly powerful and well-thought out, giving a sense of both the drama of this twisted triangle of abuse and the social implications of Natalie's actions (high-fives for Luca instead of the therapy he will desperately need). With SVU being picked up for another season, the show needs more exciting and complex narratives like this week's episode. Maybe then it could keep the fans happy and possibly even bring back those who defected when Stabler left. What do you think?

Mobcaster: A New Crowdfunding Network for Independent Television

Wed, 9 May 2012 16:00:05 EDT

Filmmakers have plenty of places to raise money these days, the most popular of which are Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, both quite popular in the space and elsewhere. Even prominent writers like Bret Easton Ellis and directors like Hal Hartley use them. But Aubrey Levy thinks independent television creators need a space of their own. His new website, Mobcaster, helps producers looking to finance and distribute long-form TV -- half-hour and hourlong episodic series. Mobcaster is both a crowdfunding site and an indie TV network. "We are an independent TV channel. We’re just in a crowdfunding phase," Levy said. "The audience dictates the shows." How does it work? A TV creator approaches Mobcaster with a pitch for a TV pilot, or, if they already have a pilot shot, a six-episode season. Audiences have to fund the project in order for it get produced. The creator produces the pilot or season, which is then released on Mobcaster. The creator can go back on the site and fundraise for more production. Mobcaster takes 5% of crowdfunding money and a 50/50 advertising split when the show airs on the networkVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

'Dance Moms: Miami' Recap: The Stars Weigh In

Wed, 9 May 2012 03:30:17 EDT

The girls of the Miami Stars dance team really weigh in this week - literally. Besides all of the other drama that the moms are causing for their daughters, the petite performers must face the ultimate humiliation and step on the scale in front of their coaches and fellow dancers. Supposedly this is meant to teach them about the world of dance and what they will face if they continue to make dance part of their life. However true this may be, I just can't come to grips with making 9 and 10 year old girls (and boy) get on a scale to let them know how unfit they are to be a professional dancer. I'm actually shocked that we never saw this happen with Abby Lee and her dancers, but I guess this is how they do it in Miami.

90210 Review: When You Know You Know, Right?

Wed, 9 May 2012 01:00:19 EDT

Call me crazy but was I the only one who thought "A Tale of Two Parties" was one of the most amusing episodes of 90210 this season?Oh Naomi...ever the prankster. Not one to let resentment, bitterness and hostility cloud her judgement, she tried to sabotage Madison's bachelorette party. Trying to prove that Madison wasn't as innocent as she seemed and on the hunt to discover some deep dark flaw, she invited Nick Carter, Madison's childhood crush, to undo her. Unfortunately the only thing undone was Naomi's plan since all Madison did was bore Nick to tears going on and on about Max.In Naomi's defense, it must have been hard watching Max and Madison fawning all over each other. They did make a cute couple. Boring, white-bread and bland, but cute. Personally, I like Naomi when she's at her clueless, catty best. Case in point, the scenes with her playing with the breast implants and telling the doctor Silver was in two relationships while Annie gave her the exasperated side-eye were hysterical.And, surprisingly, it wasn't Madison who enabled the door to be left wide open for our Miss Naomi to step through...it was Max.Liam and Navid were still going at it this week and decided to duke it out over Silver with a bottle of whiskey at Max's bachelor party. Seeing them also go at it at the doctor's office early on was priceless. I couldn't help but root for Navid. Didn't it seem a little stalkerish for Liam to be waiting for Silver at the doctor's office? Honestly. He's been with her once and already he's staking a claim? At least Navid had a long term thing with Silver. He even dropped out of Princeton to enroll in CU and look after her! But Silver was the one who put their competition to a halt and saw that neither of them was worthy of her when neither of them manned up. She wanted a baby, she wanted to experience life, she wanted everything NOW. Good for her.Caleb quit the seminary and started drinking. Way to go Annie. Not only did she manage to destroy Caleb but along came Ivy who also blamed Annie for making Diego run off. She had a point. Annie needed to keep her nose out of other people's business and fix her own messes. I liked angry Ivy. Total improvement on the dull surfer girl she used to be.Annie made amends though and managed to get Ivy and Diego to reunite for one final goodbye in which they were happily able to declare their love for one another. And seek sanctuary for Diego within the confines of Caleb's church. Perfect chance for Caleb to fix his part in that mess.Austin brought unexpected "entertainment" to Max's bachelor party in his quest to get back at Bree. And sweet revenge he got. But no hooker with a heart of gold was she. She promptly turned the tables on Austin and pretty much got the entire party busted. Poor Max...completely befuddled the whole night. How great was Caleb's herk-jerky dance on the bar? And let's not forget Madison's freak out with the baseball bat which led to the liberating of the fish at her own shindig.It was Adrianna who really killed it, however, with her new country song. She's always had a major set of pipes and they were in full effect at Madison's party. It was cool that she decided to keep Austin as her manager. His getting Bree to take the fall for the sorority house burning down managed to save Annie's hide. One good turn deserved another.So, while both parties ended up with a one-way ticket to the slammer, being behind bars for what probably amounted to all of an hour did not exactly turn the gang into hardened criminals. We're talking Beverly Hills after all.The course of true love never did run smooth. What do you think the season finale will bring? Wedding bells for Max and Naomi? Brimstone and fire for Annie? New and improved bazooms for Silver? Check our 90210 quotes and add your two cents to the comments!

‘Lost’ Co-Creator Talks ‘Prometheus’ Viral Videos, Twitter

Tue, 8 May 2012 23:00:12 EDT

Digital Hollywood, the bi-annual event that covers the intersection of technology and entertainment, kicked off last week with a day full of panels, workshops and special events, including the co-located Variety Entertainment and Technology Summit. I was lucky enough to catch several sessions, including Lost co-Creator and Executive Producer Damon Lindelof’s keynote. Whether it’s working on projects that spawn multi-platform content or tweeting his way through the universe, Lindelof is one of the most technologically savvy writers working in Hollywood. During the session, he shared his thoughts about working on Ridley Scott’s upcoming film Prometheus (he’s a co-writer of the screenplay, which “officially” may or may not be an Aliens prequel), his fascination with Twitter, and the future of entertainment. On Prometheus' Digital Shorts Currently, there are two Prometheus-related videos that have gone viral: Peter Wayland’s 2023 TED Talk and Introducing the David 8: The Next Generation. Often, when studios create digital properties to support their films, it’s simply a marketing exercise, executed without input from the creative team behind the film with the singular goal of generating buzz to draw the masses to the theater on opening weekend. While I’m sure Twentieth Century Fox would like to sell as many tickets as possible to Prometheus, the videos were not just a marketing stunt divorced from the film – Lindelof, Scott and executive producer Michael Ellenberg were actively involved in the generation of the vids. Lindelof explained that as part of the conversation about whether Prometheus was (or was not) a prequel to Alien, they decided to create some visual pieces that actually used the stars of the movie. The thought was that the audience would be much more interested in what they showed them than in anything they might say about it being a prequel. He then talked a bit more about the challenges of creating this kind of ancillary content. He said that it has to be cool enough to justify it's own existence, but innocuous enough that if it doesn't appear in the movie, it's not a big deal and audiences are not disappointed. He likened it to knowing the set list ahead of time when going to a concert. It doesn't ruin the concert if you don’t know the list, but if you do, it deepens the experience for you and gives you some extra street cred amongst die-hard fans of the bandVisit Tubefilter for more great stories.

The Musical Cast of 'Community': From Textbooks to the Stage

Tue, 8 May 2012 19:00:04 EDT

Last Christmas we were gifted with a special Glee spoof episode of Community that allowed us to hear the musical talents of the Greendale gang.

Outside the world of Community, however, some of the cast has taken their musical ambitions to real life stages, proving their performing skills aren't limited to acting.

Castle Season 5 to Focus on the "Aftermath," Creator Teases

Tue, 8 May 2012 16:30:32 EDT

SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading now if you have not yet watched the Castle season four finale. Seriously... STOP! Okay, phew. That was close. On "Always," Castle finally went there. Or, should we say, a dripping wet Kate Beckett finally went there, answering the prayers and pleas of millions of Caskett fans. How will this hook up affect season five? Creator Andrew Marlowe tells Zap2It that there won't be any kind of significant time jump because "I think everybody is going to want to see what the aftermath looks like." In fact, the Castle producer adds, there may not be any time jump at all: "[Fans] are going to want to see what it looks like when they wake up in the morning. And I think that's a promise that we have to honor." Don't expect any sudden second-guessing or back-tracking, either. Marlowe sounds all in with the decision it took four seasons to reach. "We're looking forward to... dealing with the two characters in a relationship, what that relationship is going to look like and the challenges that they're going to have," he says. Read the full interview with Marlowe now and then give the Castle season finale a grade:

In last night's episode, titled "Lady Lazarus," star ad man Don Draper takes to his chair to listen to the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" from their album Revolver, a rare case where a television show has used a master recording of the Beatles within an episode.

Two and a Half Men Review: Team Not Zoey

Last week, the ghost of Charlie Harper came back to haunt Alan. This week, it was Zoey who caused the guy problems, as she decided to launch her own attack against Alan, making me totally agree with him: she has to go. "The Straw In My Donut Hole" dealt with the recuperating period after Alan’s faux heart attack. He was showered with love and gifts, which - as avid fans know so well - isn't exactly the norm for this character. As Berta said, with the quote of the night: I try not to insult people who can come back and haunt me. | permalink Everyone felt guilty about the way they had behaved toward Alan, so he decided to right those numerous wrongs. Evelyn fulfilled his lifelong dream of being a cowboy, Judith relaxed on the child support, Lyndsey even "helped" him while he sat back and ate peach cobbler and Walden practically babysat his pal. But Zoey? She didn't believe Alan. I don’t see her sticking around for much longer, do you? How odd is it that Judith and Herb have totally given up on Jake attending college? Is that kind of a spoiler for the finale, regarding Jake’s decision after completing high school? Who knows. But that will be an interesting decision come the last episode. And we had a guest tonight, a Seinfeld Alum, Jason Alexander, who also delivered some great Two and a Half Men lines. To end the half hour in typical Men fashion, Alan was caught in his lie and subsequently shamed, returning him back to his - dare I say - “Loser Status." So, what do you think about Zoey? Should she go? Should she stay? Sound off in the comments below.

Smash Review: Did Bombshell bomb?

Mon, 7 May 2012 23:30:07 EDT

Bombshell was rushed into workshop and quickly made it to out of town "Previews." Rebecca was put to the test, did she pull off Marilyn? Did the audience love the musical? Those questions were answered during the first preview performance with a resounding no. Though the audience did applaud and enjoy the songs throughout Bombshell, the ending was too morose. Perhaps Marilyn's suicide would be a good ending for a tragedy, but not an otherwise upbeat musical. One highlight of the preview was the new Karen and Ivy song "Smash!" that was added during tech. Even though neither of them are the lead, it gave them an opportunity to showcase their talents together. Also, it led to a touching moment with the two former (and future?) rivals acknowledging each other's talent.With the Marilyn suicide ending out, what will Julia come up with? She seemed confident at the church that she came up with something brilliant. With that update and Rebecca out, the musical is sure to receive a standing ovation. Or, so they can hope.Are you glad to see Rebecca go? She ended up being much better than expected, but she never reached the levels of either Karen or Ivy. She may have been a movie star, but she wasn't destined to be one on Broadway.I'm surprisingly disinterested in finding out who put the peanuts in her smoothie. Rebecca knew that her drink was tainted and not only took a small sip, but a large gulp after. If the production does find the culprit, they should be dismissed immediately. But if they don't it's no loss; in the end, it worked out for all involved. Rebecca was "scared" and needed to be replaced.We are back to the same old question: Who should be Marilyn? This is a difficult decision. As a viewer, we know everything that Ivy has done. She may be the one with the experience and she definitely has the talent, but does she have the strength to pull it off? From a karma standpoint, she shouldn't be rewarded for her bad behavior, but it may be what's best for Bombshell.Karen is the innocent one. She hasn't done anything to hurt anyone and is dependable. She is just as talented a singer and dancer as Ivy, but green. She has never been in a production before, especially not as the lead. She can pull it off, but will the producers even give her the opportunity?The previews continue next week in the finale, who will play Marilyn? Of course, that could always change when the show hits Broadway next season. Who put peanuts in Rebecca's smoothie? Does it matter? Who should be Marilyn now? Odds and Ends Dev and Ivy slept together. Ugh! Yes, they were drunk and upset, but they knew they would be hurting Karen. What did she ever do to deserve such horrible treatment? I hope that the secret never comes out, but it probably will. I had mixed feelings about the proposal conversation between Karen and Dev. She was so sweet and forgiving. Unfortunately, Dev didn't deserve it. Not sure the wedding will ever happen. Hooray to Julia for pushing Michael away. When Nick followed Ellis out of the restaurant, did they have words? I could see Nick threatening Ellis. If it happened, too bad it was off-screen. Outside the church was Dev about to tell Karen the truth? After Derek's confession that "Rebecca needs his attention....," Ivy better never take him back. He is not boyfriend material. It was a rough road for Julia and Tom, but they made up. Sam was right that they are like a married couple. They fight and they make up. The unison "I'm sorry." was touching. The church scene was one of my favorite of the series. It was perfect to see the cast bond together through the bad times and not at a bar. "Stand" was beautifully sung by Sam and Karen. Also, a new favorite.

Family Guy Review: The Road Less Taken

Mon, 7 May 2012 06:30:07 EDT

Tonight's Family Guy episode, "Leggo My Meg-O" was literally just the movie Taken. I'm not kidding, that's pretty much the exact distillation of the episode. After getting ganged up on in gym class, Meh decides to go with her friend Ruth (wait, Meg has friends?) to go study abroad to Paris. They meet a strange French man who takes them to their apartment, and then she gets kidnapped. So it's up to Brian and Stewie to rescue her because they have a particular set of skills that would let them rescue her. The story seriously follows the same arc as the movie, just in 20 minutes. They find the Eastern Europeans who sold her to slavers, go on a car chase to rescue her and enter into a shootout on a boat to rescue her. Of course, there are jokes thrown in, and some humorous deconstructions of action movies and of the movie it parodies. For example, the "car chase GPS" scene. But the whole episode just felt kind of lazy. It followed the major arc of Taken exactly. And, yes Family Guy, French people stink, Eastern Europeans like Drakkar Noir cologne, random Arabs die in movies; these are new humorous observations! Way to avoid stereotypes and not just go for the low-hanging fruit. Even the subversion of the original story at the end felt telegraphed because the rest of the episode was tipping its pitches the whole time. By this point, the episode's written itself into a hole: if they follow the movie plot exactly, it's probably not going to be all that funny. I mean, watching a guy who's not that bad get shot at the end because Stewie thinks he's the one that bought Meg as a sex slave emits a chuckle, but the best humor comes from the unexpected. The American Dad episode that aired right afterward showed how it could be done: by concluding on a dark note that the viewer knows the show is going to throw away, but is still funny because it defies the expected trope of "everything is going to work out in the end." Family Guy had a chance to do the same, and I think it whiffed. Sure, the episode had some occasional funny Family Guy quotes, and Brian and Stewie are still the show's best duo with the way that they play off of each other. Still, this was definitely not Family Guy at the top of its game, and it's far from the best movie parody they've done. But hey, at least it wasn't a Meg episode like the episode seemed to be from the beginning, huh?

The Finder Review: Lesser Evils

Sun, 6 May 2012 05:00:03 EDT

Shots fired, mobsters cursed and "Voodoo Undo" made this episode of The Finder a fun hour. Whether you believe in voodoo or not, what was not hard to believe was its importance to the episode, especially when it came to the many ways in which it both saved and almost killed Walter. One minute a medallion from the Scorpion witch prevents a bullet from ripping through his chest, but the next minute she's making him bleed from the wound...That's some craycray stuff! So was the idea that a mobster could even be called a mobster with so many bad things happening to him. Mobsters usually have to be suave, sophisticated and altogether ruthless to get any real respect from me. This guy just seemed like blundering idiot. Then again, that had to be the point, didn't it. I was fairly surprised that Leo set this one out for as long as he did. Granted, there was some disagreement about how much this guy really deserved to be helped, but he always protects Walter. Which he eventually realized he should have done once Walter almost got shot to death by the mobster's right-hand man. It was an interesting and important moment shared between Leo and Isabel in the hospital hallway. I always really enjoy watching those two interact, especially in their concern for Walter. If there's one thing they can ever agree on, it's Walter's safety. Other highlights: Walter's Rube Goldberg machine in the backyard. Very cool way to let "the spirits" guide him to the answer. Willa and Isabel sharing another great bonding moment in the car. The possible return of Icepick man. He's got super-villain potential. Are you looking forward to next week's season finale yet? Look's like we're going to get to meet some of Walter's family. What secrets might we uncover TV Fanatics?

ABC’s ‘Cougar Town’ Eyes Move To TBS

Sat, 5 May 2012 20:30:07 EDT

Cougar Town is very much on the bubble but a possible cancellation by ABC would not necessarily spell the end of the underrated comedy about a group of wine-loving friends. I’ve learned that TBS has been in talks with Cougar Town producer ABC Studios about potentially picking up the series starring Courteney Cox if ABC ends up canceling it. Sources close to the situation stress that the conversations are very preliminary and that transitioning a broadcast series to cable is always tricky financially. “Should the show become available, TEN looks at all opportunities presented to us that fit our brand,” a rep for TBS’ parent Turner Entertainment Networks said, declining further comment.Cougar Town has had a rough third season. It was taken out of the protected post-Modern Family time slot. Its order was reduced and it was kept off ABC’s fall and midseason schedules until finally landing in the Tuesday 8:30 PM slot after Work It fizzled. Because Cougar Town is produced by ABC’s sister studio, one could assume that the network is aware of the talks with TBS and that the company as a whole might be exploring ways to continue the praised comedy series, which enjoys a devoted following by a core group of passionate fans and is a season away from a shot at syndication.As ABC is reviewing its comedy pilots for next season, several of its existing series have a good shot at renewals. In addition to Modern Family, The Middle and Suburgatory, which are assured to return, that also appears very likely for midseason entry Don’t Trust The B—- In Apt. 23, which has several other networks interested and ready to scoop it up if ABC passes. Also looking good to come back is Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing, which had a tough assignment to hold its own as the only multi-camera ABC comedy trying to open a new comedy night for the network. A pickup of Cougar Town by TBS (or ABC) would complicate things for two pilots, CBS’ untitled Louis CK/Spike Feresten project and NBC’s Kari Lizer project, both of which star Cougar Town cast members in second position, Dan Byrd and Josh Hopkins, respectively. If Cougar Town moves to TBS, it would be the second consecutive Bill Lawrence comedy to switch networks, following Scrubs‘ jump to ABC following its 2008 cancellation by NBC. Lawrence co-created Cougar Town with Kevin Biegel.Source: Deadline Originally Posted on SpoilerTV

Grimm Review: Bippity Boppity Busted

Sat, 5 May 2012 20:30:06 EDT

It’s been a long time since Grimm actually had a true procedural case, that didn’t have any serial elements baked into it. I’m a little sad "Happily Ever Aftermath" decided to return to Grimm’s roots a little bit. That’s not to say the case isn’t worth talking about because it is, Cinderella being a murderous, won’t-take-no-for-answer murdering crazy person is freaking awesome. The description Monroe gave of her Wesen kind hiding dual personalities is the perfect description, because underneath the Disney-scrubbed persona of Cinderella is someone who has dealt with rejection, has an almost complete lack of a support system, and then she's thrust into a world where her every whim and want is met. So when her Prince Charming is now without cash, her entire world is brought back to a time of pain and poor memories, and her other side comes back roaring back and is ready to enact some revenge on all of those who wronged her. But, even with the main focus on the case tonight, there were still a few clues that are coming back to the forefront. Nick’s dream of where he hid the coins is probably going to come back to center stage soon. They’re just too powerful not to, and those coins are also connected to his parents. It all boils down to one of Grimm’s main themes: lineage. For most of the series, who you are and what your family does is a constant in your life. It’s inescapable. Nick’s found this out firsthand, and no matter what he’s done to try to ignore it or move on, he keeps getting sucked in deeper and deeper every time. Besides, any time we can spend in Aunt Marie’s Trailer of awesomeness is time well spent. The amount of weapons and information in there seems to be endless, and I love all the Grimm gadgets and weapons. It deepens the show and the mythology without being weighty and boring. I just wish Nick didn’t have to turn over that awesome sound gun to the police for evidence. Finally, one other detail interested me tonight about Monroe. When Monroe was using the gun even he was being affected by it a little bit. It made me wonder if this could ever come up in the series. Nick and Monroe are essentially partners and that breaks all kinds of Wesen rules, but Monroe is also in a lot danger from all sides. He’s going against the natural order of things, he’s kind of a Grimm without the lineage (and any abilities if they exist), and he has access to an entire trailer full of things that can kill him. Any kind of wrong move, and he's in some serious trouble. Whether that move is using a weapon wrong or getting his hands on the wrong one in the trailer or one of his adventures with Nick. Whichever direction he turns danger is right in front of him, maybe even more so than Nick.

Once Upon a Time - Exclusive Raphael Sbarge Interview

Sat, 5 May 2012 12:00:09 EDT

In a Spoiler TV exclusive interview, Once Upon a Time actor Raphael Sbarge talks about his role as Jiminy Cricket, his fellow cast members, Archie’s love life and his surprise at how much of a hit the show has become. Beware of mild spoilers if you have yet to watch up to the latest episode, The Stranger (1.20).I started off by asking Sbarge about how much he understood about the role when he auditioned “This was the only role I auditioned for, they told me later that they had a hard time finding the right combination of qualities to make it the way they had envisioned it, but they responded to me.” His friends and family were very happy when he got the part, although it was difficult to explain to them what it actually entailed. “I believe that it had a deeper resonance once they were able to see the pilot and get a clearer picture of what that actually meant” he explains. “If someone hasn’t seen the show, and they ask me about the role, it’s a little hard to provide a context for it, other than saying you have to see it, to know what I mean.”Asked if he expected the show to become an overnight success he revealed that he was completely surprised, “Not because I didn’t believe in it from the moment I read it” he is quick to add. “It has more to do with the wildly improbable odds that a show will find its audience. I am not a statistician, but having been in the business for quite some time, a million-to-one is right around where I think it starts. Needless to say, I am very grateful. “Another thing that Raphael is grateful for is how little time he has to spend in the make-up chair whilst playing Archie’s alter ego. “My Jiminy make up was more about making me look young and beautiful than it was creating a wildly different look. [It’s] nothing compared to Rumplestilskin! He is two hours in, one hour out. And he has contacts that are rather uncomfortable as well” he chuckles. He obviously has help from the visual effect department with the actual Cricket look, and one thing he teases here is to check out the little device around Jiminy’s neck “Here is some insider information, by the way, that has not been explained as of yet, but will sometime in the future: it’s a cricket translator.” Without it he is unable to talk directly with humans, he explains.I remind Sbarge about some promotional photos of a scene between Archie and David (Josh Dallas) that we published on the site back in January for Skin Deep (Episode 1.12) that didn’t seem to make it to the final cut when the episode aired. “What happened is that the episode came in 22 minutes too long” he remarks. “They called me and told me the scenes were great, but would have to be cut due to time.” Fans needn’t worry though as it looks like all cut scenes will be reinserted back in to any episodes on the DVD’s they are preparing for release very soon.One of my favourite recent scenes was Mr Gold coming to see Archie a couple of weeks ago and admitting that he had a son. Sbarge reveals that this also was a great highlight for him “I was so excited to do my scene with Robert, and told him so when we arrived to shoot it. He was very gracious, and said he was excited to do it, too. I am, like many others, a huge Robert Carlyle fan, and we had a blast that day.” He continues “it could perhaps be an interesting exploration to take place next season, seeing this very dark and complicated character open up in this safe but personally exposed place. Archie is bound, by a code of medical ethics, not to speak about it to anyone, so it would be a fascinating place to get a window into his soul.”I asked why the characters of Storybrooke seem to trust him enough to reveal themselves to him. “That is an interesting question” he replied. “Maybe they have some deep subliminal memory of who he is? Or maybe they trust his character.” Could we be seeing Regina paying him a visit one day “[she] would be breathtakingly fun to explore. Being that Archie is trying to help these two mothers, and deal with their painful complications around custody with Henry, it would make sense that she might visit a couch one day, as well. Needless to say, Archie’s first order of business has been to Henry. But, let me tell you this based on what is ahead with the finale, Archie will really have some job security on a going forward basis. People are going to need some help” he teases.Another actor Sbarge is glad to be working with again is Tony Amendola, who plays Geppetto/Marco. “We have known each other for over 25 years, and done more plays together than we can even count. I adore him, and burst into tears when I heard that he was playing the part” he confesses. “We have, as they say, natural chemistry.” Which I guess must be a help on a show where just about every actor has at least two different roles to perform. I ask if there are subtle differences in how to approach his different characters. “Yes, of course” he replies “because there is awareness of our past in one reality, and none in the other (notice how I used the word reality, by the way). It’s so fun and interesting to move between the two.”Lastly, one of the most popular questions on our site is will Archie get a love interest in the future, “I have been hearing this question more and more. A love interest is going to be very interesting.” Yet who could it be; someone we have already met or someone new? “I would imagine that it would be someone new” he replies. “A new stranger come to town, perhaps. With a past. And, a mysterious cross section, intersection to our story. Gosh, they do that so well, don’t they!” Originally Posted on SpoilerTV

Supernatural Review: Words with Friends

Sat, 5 May 2012 03:30:10 EDT

For those of you worried about this season being the last, fear not. The CW has picked up Supernatural for an 8th season. Which means that as we barrel down the final stretch of episodes, it's probably safe to say a gigantic cliffhanger is on the way. But what is everything leading up to? For a good majority of the season, the main villain, the Leviathan, have slimed their way to the background while trying to carry out their devious fast food plan to eat the human race. They've been plotting and excavating and copying famous celebrities, but because Sam and Dean have had no idea how to kill the creatures from Purgatory, they've pretty much just left them alone. Or tried to avoid them. Except "Reading is Fundamental" really focused on the core mythology of the Leviathan arc and packed so much information in that I'll probably need to play a few rounds of Sorry! before I fully process it all. The key to the home stretch involves Dick Roman's red clay tablet the brothers stole last episode. Turns out God had a soft spot for diary writing and using his scribe Metatron, crafted the aptly named "Word of God." Guess God decided to have a backup plan in case somebody wanted to let the Leviathan loose. It makes sense for the Winchesters to retrieve the tablet as it finally helps their cause for victory, but why would Dick Roman want it? Does it do more than explain how to defeat them? Clearly there's a deep seated power beyond simple sentences. After all, women all over seemed to give birth and it even awoke the catatonic Castiel. But what benefit would the Leviathan gain, especially in trying to eat everyone? Once again, I'm pleased to see Misha Collins back, even if he plays a more insane version of his angel character. Castiel's non stop gibberish about cat's penises and the path of bees is but a small sample of the broken angel. While he seems rather content and spends a lot of his time smiling and acting extremely childlike (even more so than usual,) there's a sad recognition of the pain and suffering he's bestowed upon himself. Castiel wants to atone for his actions and if eliminating the sanity he once had for this simpler version, he would gladly take the punishment. It's funny that as viewers, we both got Bobby and Castiel back on the show, but they aren't the same people we once knew. The former is a haunted mess and the latter signing up for his role in "Angel, Interrupted". I wonder what their final end game will be. It seems pretty obvious that on some level, the end game for the season will certainly include the crashing of entities from the angels, demons, Leviathan, and of course, world saving heroes, Sam and Dean. And I love that that biblical feel returned while again bringing things back to the past with the renewed focus on angels and demons. They may have been pushed out of the way for the black oozed Leviathan, but I have a feeling they will be making their comeback tour pretty soon. After all, Meg's comments about Crowley being the main focus was a rather interesting point and potential lead in to next season. Dean may have scoffed at the idea with his more pressing matters, but the King of Hell should never be counted out. Especially when Mark Sheppard portrays him wonderfully. So while his evil presence might be a future cause (at least for Sam and Dean for now) the brothers finally know how to kill the Leviathan. Finally! All you need is your typical righteous mortal bone washed in the blood of the three fallen. Available at your local Wal-Mart obviously. With Castiel offering up the first part, the question remains: who and where are the other two? Yet, the episode refused to stop there giving (for me at least) a reason to like and even fear the Leviathan. It's no secret that I've found them rather bland, but Edgar shoving his hands inside the angels and proving their powerlessness was kind of cool. I always thought the winged ones had the upper hand, but it looks as though even they are useless when it comes to Leviathan. Uh oh, Kevin. Looks like you've got a new babysitter to deal with now and he's not really a nice guy. Supernatural really stepped it up in terms of story, pushing things dramatically forward while giving time for a few more emotional moments with Castiel. I love that things feel like they are coming to a head and hopefully that driving force powers through to the end.

CBS warns ABC it may sue over "Glass House"

Fri, 4 May 2012 23:00:04 EDT

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - CBS's lawyers have threatened ABC that its upcoming summer reality series, "Glass House," is copying CBS's "Big Brother" in a way that constitutes "a classic case of copyright infringement." Saying that they will pursue "all available remedies if this course of action continues" (you'll recognize that as lawyer talk for "we'll sue"), the attorneys demanded a stop to ABC's plans. ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ...

Friday updates: previews, new projects and interviews

Fri, 4 May 2012 21:30:09 EDT

The usual Friday round, with more updates coming later this weekend. Mary McDonnell has joined both Twitter and Facebook this week. Hit the links to follow her. If IMDB is anything to go by, Hiro Kanagawa makes an appearance in tonight's episode of Fairly Legal, "Ripple of Hope." He will also be appearing in Robert Redford's upcoming thriller The Company You Keep, as "FBI Agent Kanagawa." Deadline reported this week that Grimm writers are already working on the show's second season, which might be premiering sooner than expected, in August. Here is the synopsis for tonight's episode: Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are called to investigate the mysterious death of a wealthy matriarch, after her stepdaughter loses everything in a Ponzi scheme. Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) does some digging into the mysterious death of Nick’s parents in an effort to help him find closure. Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz and Reggie Lee also star.And a clip, introduced by Sasha: Playback with Alessandra Torresani will be out on DVD and Blu-ray on May 8. Visit Seat42f to see how you can win a copy. Mama Cylon tweeted that today is her last day of filming American Horror House. You can find some BTS pics on her blog. Showcase has released a new trailer for Continuum, with Brian Markinson. Here is the region-free version, from Spoiler TV: Ryan Robbins tweeted a few days ago that he has been cast in Hell on Wheels. He won't say which character he will be playing, but from the audition scenes released in recent weeks, I'm guessing it Hawkins, an ex-confederate soldier and leader of a gang of train robbers. If so, people who enjoy seeing Cullen get his ass kicked will like the season opener quite a bit. The Swede is coming back, too.The "untitled thriller" with Katie Cassidy that Ryan and Leah Gibson filmed last year now has a title: Kill for Me. HBO has released a frakload of promotional stills from season five of True Blood, including one of Christopher Heyerdahl as Dieter Braun, the ancient and powerful vampire. See left. Flicka: Country Pride with Kacey Rohl and Teryl Rothery was released on DVD this week. Catholic.org has an exclusive clip, and there is a new interview with Kacey on Yahoo! Canada. Here is a snippet: The 20-year-old Vancouver native plays the best friend of a dead teenage girl on AMC's dark series "The Killing," and a young girl whose father has died and forms a strong bond with a horse in the family-friendly "Flicka: Country Pride," which was released on DVD this week. But, as Rohl sees it, while the two might not hang out together, they do have something in common. "They're similar in that they feel really guilty for deaths that aren't really their fault," she tells omg!. And off-screen, they were both a lot of fun for the up-and-coming starlet to make."Flicka: Country Pride," which co-stars Clint Black and his wife Lisa Hartman Black, was especially memorable because it required Rohl to ride a horse for the first time. Her character, Kelly, takes over as the focus of the story that began with the 1941 novel My Friend Flicka, and has included a TV series and several films, always with a young girl (or boy) who loves horseback riding on Flicka at its heart. "I never thought I'd want to do that," Rohl says. "I grew up in a city, and there's not really any sort of connection to farm life in my life or equestrian stuff, but I'm a total daredevil, so when I saw it, I was like, 'Yes, this must happen.'" William B. Davis was interviewed on The Total Education Show. You can listen to it on Blog Talk Radio. Luciana Carro did a couple of interviews this week. In the first one, she talks about how she got into acting, her audition for BSG, and her character on Falling Skies. (Check out the pic she just posted from the ADR room.) The second one is also about Battlestar, working with props, and projects she'd like to work on: Spoiler TV has a new two-minute promo for Falling Skies: Episode 6 of 10,000 Days with Peter Wingfield has been posted: Here is a short interview Calum Worthy did with Chris Evans (because no blog can go without mentioning The Avengers today): And Patton Oswalt was on Craig Ferguson this week. You can see a pic of his character on Bob's Burgers here. The episode airs this Sunday at 8:30 pm on Fox.

Limbaugh responded to reports of lower CNN ratings by saying on his show that Cooper may be spending too much time in bars, restaurants and the gym. "I swear.

The Big Bang Theory Review: Sex Talk and Strawberry Quik

Fri, 4 May 2012 02:00:04 EDT

The Big Bang Theory boys are growing up! Howard's getting married, while both Leonard and Sheldon are in meaningful relationships. Poor Raj ... he still has the cute, little dog, I hope.After all this time, on "The Launch Acceleration" it comes out that Howard is scared to go to space. I didn't see that one coming, did you? Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him. I get scared jumping off a high-dive, so shooting into space is definitely worthy of a little fear. Howard: Yes! Thank you! Oh! Oh ... I'm not gonna die in space! I'm gonna die the way God intended in my late 50s with a heart full of pastrami. | permalink The misdirection on the phone was well-played. I'm not sure we've seen Howard get as excited about anything as he did from the cancellation. After initially not wanting her Howie to go, Bernadette was overly supportive of Howard missing their wedding. It looks like Howard is headed to space! But, what about the wedding ... they have to get married, right? The pressure the other couples are feeling is natural given their friend is heading down the aisle. Leonard's misstep with Penny led to the funniest lines of the night. Leonard: I'm sorry! I did, I crossed a line I didn't mean to. Penny: Who says something like that right in the middle of sex? Leonard: I don't know, it just came out! People say weird things during sex all the time. Penny: Okay, well they sure as hell don't say that. Leonard: It was heat of the moment. Penny: No, the heat of the moment is "Oh yeah, just like that." Not "will you marry me?" Leonard: I'm sorry, just-just give me another chance. Penny: Why, so you can crawl under the covers and go, "Hey, baby, wanna go look for houses in neighborhoods with good schools?" | permalink I'm glad that Leonard's error didn't end the relationship between them. Penny and Leonard belong together, but that was definitely not the appropriate time for a proposal. Amy has been the most controversial character on the show. Some people love her, but most people seem to dislike her. My feelings have varied by episode, but overall her character has been much improved this season.Tonight's episode was probably my favorite Amy episode. She played Sheldon perfectly! Will her experiment work? Is it possible for her to seduce Sheldon with his favorite things? Perhaps, they should play Star Trek doctor in the bedroom with the Super Mario Brothers theme playing and strawberry Quik as a chaser. Oh, the possibilities....The developments in Leonard and Sheldon's romances has me wondering, would the show still work if they stopped being roommates? What if Penny and Leonard moved in together? Or, shockingly if Sheldon moved in with Amy? The two friends lived apart for a very short time before, but in that situation Raj moved in. The show could still be funny, but it would definitely be different. The season is coming to an end with the finale next week. Will Howard go to space? Will he marry Bernadette? Or, will he somehow do both? Only one week until we find out. In the meantime, check out some more funny The Big Bang Theory quotes!

Revision3 CEO: “Discovery Wants Us to Keep Doing What We’re Doing”

Fri, 4 May 2012 00:00:04 EDT

It's official! After a day or two of speculation in the press, Discovery Channel today announced it will acquire San Francisco-based new media studio and distribution network Revision3. You can get acquainted with the details of the deal here, but this is the kind of news that begs more questions and information than whatever's offered in a standard issue press release. That's why I got on the phone with Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback to ask him some specifics about the news. Below are the highlights from our convo (not including the things Louderback couldn't comment on, like the purchase price): Tubefilter: How'd your relationship with Discovery Channel start? Jim Louderback: We first started talking with Discovery almost a year ago. What happened was the guys from their team came up to Silicon Valley and talked to a bunch of different comapnes about expanding. They had connected with Greylock Partners, which is one of our investors, and then Greylock said talk to Revision3. We all got togther and had our first meeting in May of 2011. Tubefilter: So what happened after that? Was it love at first site? Jim Louderback: I think at that time they were grazing. I think they looked a tons of companies and gradually over time we spent spent more time together. Like lots of these things, it started with talks about about how we could work together from a business perspective. We discussed things like, "Are there Discovery properties we can bring over to the internet side of entertainment?" or "Are there Revision3 properties we can bring to Discovery?" (Editor's Note: You can watch both Scam School and App Judgement on Discovery.com) You start gdoing a little bit of buiness together to see if your’e compatible. It's like dating. First there was a blind date, then started going steady, and now we’re hitched. Tubefilter: What does the deal give Revision3? Jim Louderback: It gives us a great parent that really understands what we’re doing, wants to be in the space, and is super excited about where we’re going. Discovery clearly sees the opportunity to build big, dominant preseneces with original web video. And they see us as a way to help them to that. They want us to keep doing what we’re doing. Tubefilter: Will there be any crossover of Revision3 stars on Discovery programs and vice versa? Jim Louderback: There are a lot of opportunities for collaboration, but we haven’t started talking about it yet. I'm sure we'll soon get started to figure out what those collaborations may look like, and what online original iterations of their content we could help them create.
