Since Barack Obama is about to be President in a couple of months, according to solid intel:
A) He is either going to be killed
B) A nuke will go off in Valencia
and/or
C) A comet is going to collide with us very soon
Thank God I have that underground bunker I won the other day during a poker game.
Let’s make a quick (but far from exhaustive) list of upcoming planned remakes:
– Footloose with Efron.
– Bienvenue chez les Chtis (aka The Sticks).
Do I need to remind people that the story was very local-based?
– A 1963 Akira Kurosawa classic (High and Low), by David Mamet and directed by Mike Nichols.
– A remake of another Kurosowa remake (yes you read that right), The Seven Samurai by the Weinstein Co.
– A Hellraiser “relaunch”, by Pascal Laugier.
and
– Melrose Place, the spin-off of BH 90210.
Will the new version be considered a spin-off of the new 90210 or a spin-off of the old 90210? Or a spin-off of the spin-off of another show?
I’m confused.
First, I’d like to welcome all my new readers, especially the ones that are from the far-away APA Blog. :)
I hope you won’t get too lost in the crazy rants I sometime post.
Speaking of crazy rants (and crazy days for that matter)…
Wednesday is Obama Day.
And by that I mean he’s tomorrow’s Daily Show guest.
What? You thought I was gonna talk about another show he’ll be on tomorrow night simultaneously on NBC, CBS and FOX?
Also, ABC is airing Pushing Daisies.
Who will win the rating war: a pie-maker or a terrorist lover?
As for next Tuesday.
Mmmm…
What are you supposed to do on November 4th again?
Right, buy French fries.
Delish’.
Today, don’t forget that Strike.TV is officially launched.
And, no, I am not producing anything over there, thanks for asking telepathically.
Also today, I successfully cooked “Sautéed aubergines and leeks with ginger”.
Yay me.
In other worldwide TV news, France Television’s primetime will begin next year at around 8:35PM instead of 8:50/9PM (as ads will be suppressed after 8PM).
To try to counter its rival network, M6 will also program its primetime at around 8:35PM.
This is a huge change in the French TV landscape.
That’s like having Mad Men on NBC right after the Super Bowl leading to record-shattering ratings of 10 people watching the show.
Only, you know, at 8:35PM.
Forgive me but I couldn’t leave you with a smile on your face, so here goes:
The Footloose remake has been fast-tracked by Paramount with… Zack Efron in the lead. Right after he signs that half-mil check.
