    I just realized you aren't promoting Titan Maximum! It airs before The Venture Brothers and is a spoof of the Voltron series by the Robot Chicken team. It's set on Titan's moon and they travel across the solar system fighting one of their former team members gone supervillian.

    I agree with Thursday night, 30 Rock is always the first show I watch. Kenneth is just too cute!

    Go Team Venture! #house

    I'm 60% sure they'll explain it, and maybe is an excersize in futility even asking this but....

    Wasn't Peter Petrelly on NY and Matt on Texas when he got shot? Why are both in the same hospital? #house

    Okay, I admit that "The Vampire Diaries" is my guilty pleasure for this fall season. And while it is full of angsty teen melodrama (Kevin Williamson after all) I don't find nearly as insipid as "Twilight." At least in this show the vampires, you know, actually kill people or change them into other vampires.

    And every time I see the name of that SyFy "Fire and Ice" movie, I'm reminded of how sad it is that we don't have a movie/series based on G.R.R. Martin's awesome epic. At least the first three books anyway. #house

    Thats some good news right there. But has anybody seen or mentioned the new Clash of the Titans film!!! Im not sure if io9 has run a feature and ive missed it like an idiot. Or everyone is avoiding the innevitable backlash! Personally I think it looks great, even if it has overtones of 300!!!

    turns out the first 2 hours of the prisoner will air on AMC from 6 to 8 PM tonight followed by the new episodes. fortuantly they're running the same gag on tuesday so anyone who wants to watch house at 8, like me, can just watch 4 hours of the prisoner tomorrow night instead. i think i still might record it either way since, in my opinion, the only annoying thing about the show is the constant and repedative commercal interuptions. #house

    Poor Bruce Willis.
    A 'MeatPopsicle' in the Fifth Element.
    A 'Meatbag' in Surrogates.
    Where-oh-where, is that great feminist champion, of the prostituted profession, Megan Fox, when we really need her?
    Oh, yeah. I forgot. Empowering Jennifer's Body.

    (Was I the only one who wondered, when I heard Brucie enunciate his personal preference "No, I'm a Meat Popsicle!", in The Fifth Element, precisely how much Unilever had paid for the product placement?)

    I actually really enjoyed a lot of Surrogates (as I did Gamer[and District 9 with the meatbag becoming a prawnbag]), when it let its attention to 'uncanny valley' detail, just do its thing: Make me wonder and question and think.
    Why is it, that writers, directors, studios and networks, think that after they show us something that successfully does all these things, that we want to be told what to think, how to feel about it, what's going to happen next and precisely what the 'happy ending' will be?
    The worst offender, by far (recently), was the execrable Terminator Salvation.
    The least, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
    I think its writer, Josh Friedman gave us a pretty good explanation, of why [io9.com] .

    Then again, CJ's "ugly Terminator-esque endoskeletons" struck me as unspeakably meatbagist, so perhaps I'm not the target demographic.
    Or maybe, the creators are just completely clueless as to who their consumers really are and what they really want.

    One thing I liked about the movie is how the actors were able to (mostly) pull off the "slightly beyond the Uncanny Valley" look when they were in the surrogates -- they're just a tad off, not enough to make it look like a movie full of robo-puppets but enough to make it obvious that something's not right. There were different degrees of that sort of woodenness, and while it's probably due to each actor's ability to pull it off well, I like to think that they corresponded to the more- or less-expensive models that had correspondingly more- or less-expressive faces.

    well, truth be told, I like Bruce too.. (we're both harmonica players too) but sometimes I wanna just bitch-slap him and say 'snap out of it' and start making smaller indie movies and NEVER make another movie where he's some sort of law enforcement type ever again.
