Outside the box

HBO Labs (HBO’s digital media studio) has a new web series starting Oct. 1 and starring some famous online faces such as LonelyGirl15’s (and Greek’s) Jessica Rose, “Mr. Safety” AKA Cory Williams, sXePhil and Michael Buckley from ‘What The Buck?’.
The website will also allow fan to interact with the stars.

Now, I’m not really a big fan of YouTube web series.
To be honest, I have never watched any of those “shows” (and probably won’t watch this one), but it still helps to show that the future of entertainment is strongly linked to the Internet and content should be thought “outside the box”, literraly.

Or the show will sink.

In any case, if you do want some amazing, funny, professional online original content, then remember that Strike.TV exists for a good reason.

In other media news, did you peeps see this week’s EW cover (and Q&A)?

Now that’s what I call a Colbert Bump.

Colbert + Spidey = Geek orgasm

Best. Combination. Ever?

As you may know, Colbert is really important to the Marvel Universe. As important as, say, Obama for real life, in that he’s running for president in the Marvel Universe…and winning.
That and he has Captain America’s shield, for real.

You may ask: from where is this awesome piece of comic-book history coming from?
The answer: an 8-page narrative found inside Amazing Spider-Man’s Number 573.

This truly Amazing issue will be out Oct. 15 for a mere 4$ (did I mention 573 is super-sized?).

It’s going to be legen-wait for it-dary.

America needs a prune (Emmys 2008)


Probably the best line of the night next to Piven’s diss of the opening.

I like Survivor but man did that Emmy hosting suck.
Even Probst was bad, and he was the one to win the Emmy.

When you precede Tinay Fey/Amy Poehler and follow Ricky Gervais/Steve Carell, it’s time to GTFO ASAP.

I would love to be in the office of the Emmy guy on the day he decided who was going to host the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Maybe they wanted to avoid waves and anything politically incorrect.

I guess that’s why thoses bastards decided to cut Kirk Ellis when he was talking about the Founding Fathers!


Yeah, let’s show some respect to the writers who make the medium what it is by minimizing to the extreme their speeches (Ellis was told to “wrap it up” just as was getting on stage!).

I also find ironic that for a show that celebrates TV and coming on the heels of a writers’ strike, they chose five reality hosts for the Emmys.
Nice touch.

Regarding the actual results, I’m really happy for Brian Cranston and Breaking Bad, great show, great actor.
Happy also for Ivaneck, the guy deserves to finally win!
I like a lot Mad Men but I still feel as though it is over-hyped, especially considering the other shows nominated (except Boston Legal).
And Tina Fey still rocks.

It’s also interesting to note the downfall of the networks (and HBO). 10 wins for HBO (long is gone the 3-digit), 4 for NBC, 3 for AMC (!) and ABC, 2 for FX (!) and CBS as well as Comedy Central, and finally 1 little Emmy for FOX and PBS.

And how weird was that Forrest Gump/Punchline reunion?
