All Things: TELEVISON

How To Get Away With Murder used it's one 'stupid scene' up with me last week. Dude opens a skyrise window. Yeah, OK! And then the satellite lost the last 15 mins.
 
Fox Gives Frankenstein a Put Pilot Commitment - Dread Central

“Frankenstein” will center on Adam Tremble, a morally corrupt FBI agent who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead. Now younger and stronger, Tremble will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose – dealing with threats beyond the FBI’s capabilities – while navigating a complicated relationship with his “creators”: an antisocial Internet billionaire and his bio-engineer twin sister.

That was really bad, that entire scene was. Did you find out what the last nine words of the episode were that they kept telling you not to miss?
 
ABC Developing The Phantom of the Opera TV Series with Marc Cherry

The classic romance/horror story The Phantom of the Opera might be finding its way to television thanks to Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry. According to Variety, ABC is developing a “drama with musical elements” and would be set in the modern-day music business. However, the series is not an adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s famous musical, but rather the musical’s source material, the original 1909 novel by Gaston Leroux. For those who don’t know, it’s about a musician who is scarred by acid, goes into hiding beneath an opera house, and then tries to lure a beautiful singer to his lair.

This modern-day update “is billed as revolving around the cutthroat world of the music biz and will incorporate musical moments into story lines in the same vein as the ABC drama Nashville.” It’s an intriguing take on the material, and Cherry showed with Desperate Housewives he has the skill to create a delectable soap opera.

Saw those on The Soup yesterday and Tenacious D was on. LOL
 
Had a mini binge...and decided to watch the last 4 Key & Peele's...the framing device is so much better. Almost surreal. Content sooooo much better. They have grown a lot. Almost no race based humor. Just really clever ****. Very talented dudes.

The nine words were: Tie the yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree. mhihi: :manybeers:

I've been watching How To Get Away With Murder since the beginning, and apart from some silliness, I am enjoying it enough to continue watching. I started watching it because I like Viola Davis's acting and she doesn't disappoint in this series.

I'm actually kind of puzzled by the season so far. There seems to be a lot of sketches that go on for longer periods of time and seem like they're building to something... and then just end. Not all of them, but some of them.

I haven't really been able to watch the framing bits because the wife does not enjoy them.

What? Sheesh...if you are gonna watch, watch the whole thing. I think that's what I like so far about the season. It's far more absurd and bizarre than seasons past. Yeah, some sketches go on too long, but I think part of that is the designed unconfortability.

Review: NBCs Constantine a tepid take on DC/Vertigo mystic hero

Not even gonna watch this. Just don't care and I hate network shows and the necessity to fill an episode quota while doing NOTHING to advance the story. Pass.

I am actually liking that they're experimenting and trying new things, even if not all of them work.

So, just like the New52 version of him, then? :)

I'm going to try it. I kind of feel like I have to. I don't have high expectations, though.
 
I also feel compelled to give that Constantine series a try. *shrugs*

And people aren't kidding about the New 52 version of Hellblazer. I have flipped through some of those books while at Barnes and Noble, and while it's far from the worst thing I've seen, ugh!

If I am given on,y one more year to live, I'll accept it as long as it gets to take place during Vertigo's heyday. ;)
 
btw...pleases me to NO end that NOBODY is watching Gracepoint. It's a shrill showy remake of a terrific BBC show that was best when it was quiet. Oh, and they were speaking English so **** you for remaking it. Everyone involved should feel shame.
