Hey gang, sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been packing and moving my meth labs all around town due to some unsavory visits from the city engineering department. Plus it’s been bike month all through May and I can never say no to a hardy hit and run while escaping trailer fires.
Anyway, here’s something I saw the other day that made me wish I watched more BBC programing. It’s a clip from a show called Rush Hour which I’d never heard of until I saw this. Apologies for the squashed aspect ratio, I didn’t upload it, and yes I know that you don’t care, but it drives me F@%*ing mental.
So apparently everybody’s favorite happy black guy face is getting his very own TV show. Cleveland, Peter Griffin’s neighbor and friend on Family Guy, is going to be staring in a spin off series of the popular cartoon on FOX. Acording to James Hibberd of the US Daily, this isn’t something we should be surprised by as Hollywood seams to be writing checks for popular TV spawn like mad these days.
[From NBC's "The Office" to Fox's "Family Guy," broadcasters increasingly are urging their best performers to produce offspring. The debut of "Grey's Anatomy"-inspired "Private Practice" last fall was only the start of the latest round. Next season there's the still-unnamed "The Office" spinoff and Fox's "Family Guy" extension, "The Cleveland Show," as well as Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" prequel, "Caprica," which is filming a two-hour backdoor pilot. Projects based on Fox's "House" and "Prison Break" also are in development.] • article •
So say we all. As the former star of a spin off series I can tell you, craft services people are like angles with sliced avocado sandwiches for wings. Bearing a plethora of warm and cold beverages in pure white Dixie cups for all to enjoy, surely the spin off series is the greatest work of originality and selflessness a TV writer could ever hope to explore. God bless you comedy writers for your brave sacrifice, and perhaps one day society will realize it’s grave errors in piracy and actually purchase your works with real money. So say we all.
NOTE: what the hell is a “backdoor pilot” anyway? I just picture Adama with that mustache, wearing a scarf and a Red Barron flight cap, looking at me in that way. You know that, give me funny feelings way.
It’s 06:33 on a Friday late in May and I’m pooing this out and predating it to fill the gaps on my post calender. No doubt I was too busy sleeping or laying on the beach to post anything meaningful or current, and so now I find it fitting to write about something from 2004 and giving it a title that only some retarded Google bot would understand (and of course fans of the show, hey guys). Still though, this is something definitely worth your time if you haven’t heard of it. Ghost in the Shell is easily my favorite anime franchise and has been since 1997 simultaneous world wide release of “Ghost in the Shell” which revolutionized cartoon animation by being the first to integrate computer generated motion effects and scenes into traditional hand-drawn animation. Many of the style choices made in this film (along with the sophisticated science fiction) would go on to be hijacked by a certain director duo in “the Matrix”. If you’re not into political drama at all, and have trouble following a complicated “who-done-it” plot line, you should avoid this show like the plague. Even it’s 10/10 erection inducing military action sequences, and it’s bomb-shell body suit clad super cyborg cop can’t hold it over in the wake of it’s heady governmental policy based story arcs.
There, done. now I can get back to sleeping. Watch this intro to the 2nd season of SAC (Stand Alone Complex) it’s dope.
