cheap dvds!

Sometimes I check the Cheap Stingy Bastard blog, and I’m glad I read it yesterday because he posted about Fox TV Boxsets being on sale at Amazon for $15 If you don’t have them already you could get the first seasons of Buffy and Angel for $30. I must have good karma or something, because [...]

wonky day

I had a very strange day today. I was so groggy this morning, I forgot to sign the UPS slip to enable the delivery guy to leave my package with the 3rd season of Alias at my door. Oh, the trauma! What will I do? I’m seriously uninvested in the new fall tv season. I [...]

live action manga & anime adaptations

I watched the first episode of Mars, a live action adaptation of the manga by Fuyumi Soryo . The tv show is currently airing in Taiwan, I think. It just goes to show, if something has geeky appeal, you can find it on the web! (via TokyoJupiter)

Mars was the first multi-volume ‘teen romance’ [...]

Avengers!

I was shocked and amazed when I turned on BBC America to see Diana Rigg being menaced by a laser and Patrick Macnee wacking villians over the head with his umbrella. I love the Avengers! Followed by The Saint and The Prisoner!!!! How long has this been going on? Thank god for cable! Sweet, glorious, [...]

heat vision and jack

Jack Black/Owen Wilson/Ben Stiller TV pilot about an astronaut and his talking motorcycle

women with superpowers and lame boyfriends

There’s a frightenly detailed review of the Jem DVD Boxset up at Sequential Tart, complete with photos of Jem dolls. I think no matter what the show, there’s a fandom for it.

Another show with a frenzied fandom is Sailor Moon, and there’s yet another frighteningly detailed review of the live action Sailor Moon TV [...]

I accidently caught a couple minutes of the ABC tv movie “A Wrinkle in Time“. I don’t know if it was just bad casting or the product of reading the book so often when I was younger, but my reaction was “Yikes, that isn’t Meg! No, that isn’t Calvin! No way is that Charles Wallace…Alfre [...]

the dvd that should not be

I’m mystified as to why Jem and the Holograms is getting a 2 season dvd boxset. I’m as happy to indulge in 80s nostalgia as the next person, but this seems to be going a little too far

sci-fi channel getting good again?

I haven’t watched much on it since they canceled Farscape. But in addition to the new Farscape mini-series, they are adapting the anime Witch Hunter Robin as a live action series and producing a half-hour comedy based on Mike “Hellboy” Mignola’s Amazing Screw-On Head. And they’re letting Bruce Campbell write and direct a movie. Sounds [...]

Mark Cuban Reality Show

Yikes! The insane owner of the most wonderful basketball team ever with a forward/center from Germany is getting his own reality tv show. The show is called “The Benefactor” and he gives away 1 million dollars to the winner.

I want some of that Mark Cuban money. I wonder if I applied to get [...]
