Lost Ads Coming to the Big Screen
This just in: Lost is coming to the big screen!
Oh, how I wish I could tell you our beloved Evie, Matthew and Josh are starring in a movie version of the show we so adore, but this is pretty much the next best thing: Sources tell me ABC has secured a deal to air promos for the upcoming fourth season of Lost (with new footage!) before all movies rated PG and above in Screenvision and NCM chains in December.
Hear that? It's the sound of this die-hard couch potato running out to buy my tickets!
And by the way, this also means ABC thinks the new season of Lost is so good, it warrants such play. I've heard from Alphabet-net insiders that the upcoming eight episodes filmed so far are "crazy good" and will "even satisfy the haters." So, if you're already starting to feel the fourth-season fever, sound off below, will ya?
And if you're headed for the aforementioned theaters, don't you dare think about hitting the bathroom before the show…
Big Brother 9: live feeds report - Feb. 17
Oh, my. I’ve been sitting here trying to think of how to write up this latest report on the live feeds from within the Big Brother 9 house without coming across as soft porn. Am I that old? Am I that out of touch with the lifestyles of the young and foolish?
Am I just a prude?
There’s been a lot going on in the house and I’ll try to write it up in a bit of PG-rated fashion. I love a challenge. No, really. I do.
Read on past the jump for show spoilers!
I know that sex supposedly sells, but I’m beginning to think that totally loose morals had to be in the contract for this season’s houseguests. It’s pretty bad when the ex-Penthouse Pet, the only houseguest over 40, may exhibit the best morals on the show. I’m just sayin’ .
I can see the line in the contract now: “Yes, I will perform sex acts with random abandon. No, my parents won’t sue the show. They’re used to my free-spirited sexual escapades.”
As for actual show-related action in the house, there really hasn’t been much going on. They still have had no food competitions and they don’t even know if there will be any this season. So, there’s no BB Slop and they’re all eating well. The nominations are long done — Jen/Parker and Ryan/Allison. Power of Veto was won by Matt and Natalie, but the ceremony during which they announce whether they’ll use it or not hasn’t happened yet as I get this written.
Whether they’ll use it or not is a good question. Although it seems to be a bit up in the air because Matt is an ally with Parker, it’s my prediction that it won’t be used. Most everyone in the house think that Jen and Ryan need to be split up and the only way to get that done is to have both on the block.
If the nominations remain the same, it stands to be either a 3-1 (couple) vote to evict Jen and Parker, or possibly a tie. If it is a tie, it’s likely that Alex and Amanda will probably save Jen and Parker … mainly because Amanda is hung up on Parker (oh-la-la) and hates Allison.
Here’s some selected lowdown and dirty doings from the feeds:
- Matt is determined to play every girl in the house and winks at the camera after he leads them on.
- After mutual groping type behavior between Amanda and Alex, Amanda ran to Parker and told him that Alex had been touching her as she slept.
- Sheila said she won’t have sex on television.
- Most of the other houseguests don’t think oral sex is sex. (What do they think … oral is just talking about it?)
- All of the houseguests know about Jen and Ryan having sex in the bathroom. Parker isn’t thrilled about a “funky” Jen getting in bed with him.
- The guys think that Chelsia would be “a good hook-up.” So far Chelsia has abstained from getting all touchy-feely with anyone and Crazy James is no Matt, Conquerer of Women.
- Crazy James is more sane than many in the house.
- Matt thinks that Natalie wants them to win the Head of House so they’ll have their own room for sex. While he’s willing to have her do things for him under the covers, he wants no long-term relationship. She does want the long-term and is all agog over him. Matt in regard to her, not so much.
- Parker thinks he’s dying because he hasn’t had sex.
- Matt, on the other hand, said he’s blessed because Natalie takes good care of him under the covers. He then brags to the others that he’s never had to even kiss her.
- Matt, referring to Natalie, said, “It’s nice to have a puppy dog.” Now, that’s a real dog right there in my opinion!
- Parker is worried about Alex because of his (Parker’s) relationship with Amanda — she’s all over him.
- James licked Chelsia’s toes. She told him to stop.
- Allison told the others that she earns over 100 grand a year. That’s not a really bright thing to say as they might decide she doesn’t need the money and evict her.
- Allison doesn’t think there’s one decent single guy in the house.
- Although Sheila and Adam are now getting along, she doesn’t think there’s a guy in the house for her. Even though he’d be too young, she’d like to see Dr. Will return.
- Parker is glad that Amanda’s not his partner because his “Momma is watching.” She’d be all over him in bed as she’s all over him everywhere else.
- Natalie exhibited her pole-dancing technique.
- They’ve discussed the pros and cons of pubic hair, how they’ve lost their virginity, sexual romps, drugs they’ve taken, and TV shows they like. (I’m a bit offended that they smeared the good name of television amongst the lurid topics!)
- They have not discussed the last good book they read, politics or world issues at any length.
I don’t know. These just aren’t my people. Yeah, I’ll continue to watch the train wreck, but it’s not as easy when no one in the house really draws me in. I guess my mom didn’t want me to grow up to be a porn star.
Added update — The Power of Veto was NOT used, the nominations remain Parker/Jen and Ryan/Allison. You may return to your regularly scheduled life now.
Thomas Jane Drops Out of The Punisher 2
The Punisher star Thomas Jane revealed to AICN that he is dropping out of the proposed Punisher sequel.
“I regretfully and painfully had to pull out of P2. I can’t tell you how completely broken up I am about it,” Jane wrote. “Punisher fans are already fighting an uphill battle as it is. And I’ve always felt a responsibility to fight that fight for them and with them so that Frank Castle gets the treatment he deserves.”
While I very much hated the Punisher movie, but love the comic book character. I have a feeling that with the success of the family friendly comic book movies, the studio wanted to take the character in a more PG direction. And this is just my assumption.
Jane also wrote:
“What I won’t do is spend months of my life sweating over a movie that I just don’t believe in. I’ve always loved the Marvel guys, and wish them well. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to search for a film that one day might stand with all those films that the fans have asked me to watch.”
