Sautéed days

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.

This just in: Strike is coming

Strike.TV (which I just love) is officially launching on Oct. 28!
For you guys not on the beta program, mark your calendars!

Dear Strike.TV’ers,

How has the beta been going for you? What do you think of our first
week’s worth of shows? We can’t thank you all enough for all of the
input you’ve given us, and we can’t wait to show you more!

Happily, we can finally announce that Strike.TV will be officially
launching on October 28th – and, as some of you may have heard, you
will also be able to watch many Strike.TV shows at Joost and Youtube.

As we get closer to launch, we’ll have a lot more news for you, so
keep up with our news via Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, and LiveJournal.

Best,

Strike.TV

The end is not nigh, it is now

The world has gone mad.
Mad I tell ya, maaaad!
And I’m not (necessarily) talking about the coming current financial apocalypse.

A talking Chihuaha is still number one at the box-office.
A shot-by-shot remake of a Spanish horror movie is the other winner of this week’s BO.
An Oscar-nominee’s movie starring an Oscar-winner and another Oscar-nominee tanked.
And saying that City of Ember (with William Murray and Tim Robbins!) has also tanked would be the understatement of the millennium.

It’s a sad day.

Maybe there’s even going to be another H-Wood strike on our hands (in addition to B-Wood’s).
