For the *other* person who watches Revenge and has seen Cabin in the Woods: spoiler! ( Read more... ) | | Thursday, May 17th, 2012 | | 11:13 pm |

Scenes from the Westeros Upfronts
There has been much reportage about the upcoming TV season, truly a game which one either wins or one dies. Westeros, of course, lacks mass media* But if it did not (spoilers!) ( Read more... )*Cf. Jesus Christ Superstar: If you'd come today, you could have saved a whole nation, Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication | | 9:44 am |

MUNCLE LP Cover: Free to Good (US) Home
The yard sale season got off to a decent start, after some suspense about Weather delays. Anyway, one of my acquisitions is the LP cover (just the cover--the record wasn't donated), "Original Music from The Man From UNCLE," RCA Victor LPM-3475. I don't have any tech to take a picture of it, so no picture included but, it's red, and a semi-headless femme fatale in a low-cut dress is being stared at by Solo and Kuryakin, and there's a bronze mask in there for some reason. Anybody want it? Unfortunately I can't afford to ship it to Austria, so azdak doesn't get to play, but first US requester can have it. ETA: but of course, a photo was readily available online: http://www.discogs.com/Hugo-Montenegro-Original-Music-From-The-Man-From-UNCLE/release/1108291 | | Friday, May 4th, 2012 | | 2:44 pm |
Drive-By
In musical theater, revivals with a lot of changes, e.g., a new book, are sometimes called "revisals." Maybe next year "Smash*" and "Revenge" could have a crossover episode called "Reprisal." *Not, in this context, involving The Hulk | | 12:24 pm |

Gotta hand it to "Revenge" for short-circuiting the entire Courtroom Drama thing and cold-opening with a title "Trial: Day 15". They can't match the Vampire Diaries actually-too-much-plot pace but they certainly do move along. Maybe next season Emmanda can be, like, The Black Orphan in a superhero Revengers team. | | Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 | | 4:09 pm |

The Verizon home page has a line that says "Remote video monitoring of your home, child, and/or pet has finally become affordable." ACTUALLY not as comforting as they obviously think it is. | | Wednesday, April 18th, 2012 | | 10:52 pm |
Drive-By: Easier Said Than Done
I'm doing some research on the Department of Labor Website--as one does--and I was brought to a halt by the admonition "Before you post, please prove you are sentient." | | Friday, April 13th, 2012 | | 7:31 pm |

Cabin Pressure in the Woods: you only *think* that Benedict Cumberbatch plays a pilot. | | 11:19 am |

The AV Club, which is to me what tv tropes is to most of you as a time-wasting engine, has a five-part interview with Paul Feig, the Freaks and Geeks showrunner, starting here: http://www.avclub.com/articles/paul-feig-walks-us-through-freaks-and-geeks-part-1,72057/I was going to link it anyway, but a casual reference on my flist to a Weir/Lycasek fic made me think: of course! Sam changed his name to Johnny! It would explain so much, starting with the Parisian Night Suit. | | Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 | | 2:10 pm |

Coming Soon to a TV Near You: The GRRM, a police procedural where decapitated, dismembered, burned, flayed, etc. bodies keep dropping and it's bloody cold and they never find out who dunnit. | | Tuesday, April 10th, 2012 | | 6:11 pm |
PSA
Since HARDLY ANY of you are watching Revenge, you probably don't know that when they FINALLY manage to have a new episode next Wednesday (on the 18th) James Purefoy is the guest star. And he plays a painter, so he and Madeleine Stowe get to roll around and get covered with oil paint because that's how Revenge rolls. | | Sunday, April 1st, 2012 | | 11:27 pm |

I believe it was "The Simpsons" that crashed through the fourth-TV-screen barrier and depicted TV characters watching TV. I haven't seen the season opener of Mad Men, but all the reviews have a promo photo of Pete Campbell's hideous yet beautifully pattern-matched plaid sportcoat. I'm sure that Nolan immediately ordered a copy of that jacket. I was going to say that he would probably have bought the actual costume, except that he's about a head taller than Vincent Kartheiser. Then I remembered that Gabriel Mann was actually *in* Mad Men, and my head exploded. | | Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 | | 6:42 pm |
