Out there

First, a quick follow-up to yesterday’s Conan/Mario “news”.

Why is everyone either saying it’s a dead-on reference while other describe Serious Lunch’s post as a giant hoax/conspiracy?
It’s neither!
Some people are taking this a bit too seriously.
It’s just a (good) photoshop joke.
There’s no record to set straight.

You’ve gotta admit though that the set design does look a bit like a Super Mario Bros. 2 medley.

I find it pretty funny that in the span of a few hours, loads of sites not only believed the news, but that Nintendo even commented on it.

Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert’s secret visit to the Persian Gulf has been revealed to take place in Baghdad, Irak.
The shows (next week’s) have been dubbed Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.

I also just found out this epic Star Trek space battle video made by the team behind the awesome VFX of the new movie.
The video was the opening for the 2009 FedCon Science Fiction convention.
Check out the awesomeness:

Online saving

A month after Disney gets its 30% share in Hulu (why is everyone only surprised about it now?), all the ABC shows that will be streaming there have been announced:

– Full episodes for ABC’s Lost and Grey’s Anatomy as well as ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Greek.
– Episodes from some ABC daytime shows like General Hospital and The View.
– Canceled/old shows like Commander in Chief, Hope & Faith, as well as Less Than Perfect.
– A few Disney Channel shows as well as a couple of classic Disney movies.

Meanwhile, E!’s Save One Show poll results have been announced with The Sarah Connor Chronicles leading at 53%, more than twice the numbers that Chuck pulled (25%) and over five times Dollhouse‘s (10%). Life only got 8% followed by Privileged at 4%.

For those who care, I’m also still working on my list of pilots that I think will get picked up (more on that next week) as well as my “What you need to know before the new Star Trek” post.

Twitter it like it's hot

In case you didn’t already know, I have a Twitter account.
The thing is, I have never actually twatted about my life, or anything really.
Up ’til now, this Twitter account was nothing more than some kind of weird RSS feed of my blog posts.

Not anymore.

Yup, I’ve decided to officially take the dive into Twitter land.

Since I basically only have time on my hands right now, I’ll most likely post daily — who am I kidding? — hourly updates of my impressions of the current thing I’m watching, and sometimes I might even post interesting stuff (don’t count on it).

If you wish to follow my completely-pointless-yet-still-somewhat-entertaining-but-not-really updates of my daily TV or Movie life, as well as other what-have-yous, feel free to go visit my Twitter updates on: @TVCalling.
Or just look at the column on your right.
