Conan O’Brien begins his comedy tour

Conan’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” comedy tour began last night in Eugene, Oregon. I still can’t believe this show sold out so quickly. Thirty (30!) stops, two months, and even a few visits to Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto), and I still was too late online to get a single ticket.

Jennifer Morrison back on House this Monday (FOX)

Jennifer Morrison (who played Dr. Cameron on House) is coming back next week. This is the big episode that Hugh Laurie was supposed to direct, and her guest-spot isn’t the only thing that I’m looking forward to. Apparently, the episode deals with a lockdown in the hospital (probably a virus attack, or a power outage), [...]

ABC finales are here

Only 3.5 episodes left. Or something along these lines. Lost is coming to an end, but don’t panic just yet. ABC happens to have quite a few amazing shows running, so you better start programming those VCRs, to get all your finales recorded. What are VCRs anyway? Here’s the list of the 2010 ABC finales.

Greatest 9,331 movies of all times

For the past 9 years (yes, it’s nine, not a typo), Brad Bourland, 58, of Austin, Texas has been rating/reviewing movies. He’s got 9,331 so far, and wants his site readers/visitors to help him complete it to a nice, round 10k. Obsession, hobby, or just another slick marketing ploy? Visit his site, read up on [...]

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

First of all, kudos to the marketing campaign. This film heavily relies on word of mouth, we got a free screening (packed room, hardly any press, just people who got invites from eventful.com website). The screening was fun, we howled, took home t-shirts, and promised to tell others about it.  The movie is so much [...]

Super Bowl Ads

Well, you’ve asked for it… Actually, nobody asked, but since every other website is running the ads from past games (and the networks really do need that money), here it goes. An easy to use widget from Hulu (yes, the website that’s going to kill television in a few months), where you can easily watch [...]

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

Kevin Smith is growing up; Traci Lords is a notorious porn legend; and Seth Rogen is goofy but not funny. These are all undeniable facts, and you can bash your head against the wall trying to object to this reality, or pretend it’s not there. It won’t change the fact that Kevin Smith is growing [...]

George Carlin RIP – catch TV specials

We knew it was coming, and his last few appearances on TV have been pretty telling. The guy’s been on stage, entertaining us, our parents, our grandparents for decades. That heart can only take so much, you know. How appropriate – heart failure. My guess is George just got tired. And can you blame him [...]

Sydney Pollack RIP

Sydney Pollack has died or cancer. What a terrible loss – the director of Tootsie, The Way We Were, The Firm, Out of Africa, and so many other films – the kind of movies you never watch just once – he’s no longer with us. He was also a gifted actor, appearing in many memorable [...]

The fifth season of “Boston Legal” will be its last. The legal drama, which has won five Emmys (including three for star James Spader) in its time on ABC, will bow out with a 13-episode run in the fall, ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson told reporters Tuesday (May 13).
