un-Arrested Development?
So the rumor’s appear to be true. The Arrested Development movie, looks to be back! In a pre-Oscar interview on Sunday night, Ron Howard said "It’s on!"

BTW – what a worthy reason to dust off this site and put it back online!

2007 Fall TV
I know virtually nothing about any new shows this season. Dex reminded me that KVille was the Antwon Mitchell cop show (Anthony Andersen). That’s about all I can tell you.
Somewhen on somewhere is New Amerstdam. That looks good. Sadly I don’t know when it is turning up on the schedules. Mid-season. Is that good news or bad news for the show?

Lost > Sopranos ? WTF?
Elusion: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070614/tv_nm/lost_dc;_ylt=AggviySuDJZxGan_9SyswehY24cA
Elusion: they’ll just make the shows preceeding it just as murky
s m a s h: haha
s m a s h: yah no shit man
s m a s h: nice that cuse is taking time to pot shot the competition to deflect the criticism
Elusion: what an ass hat comment
Elusion: yeah!
It does really irk me to see Cuse saying that. Lost needs to spend some quality effort telling story and not just writing suspense. Their insistence on spoon feeding out story line makes the entire drama frustrating, and worse, implausible. How many times will they confront people that have information and just not bother to ask questions? Or when questions are asked, not care that no answers were given?
And I’m completely lost as to what to think about their Season 1 assurance that "everything on the island will have a mundane explanation". Really?

Sopranos is whacked!
Despite the final music, I can’t believe the ending of Sopranos Sunday night. The initial reaction was a big "WTFD?!??!?!" But as I think more and more on it, you can’t help but wonder how else David Chase might have ended his penultimate work of genius. The intrawebs are ablaze with commentary about this, so I won’t say too much on it. I was disappointed, but not necessarily because I thought it was weak…I just didn’t enjoy the intentional ‘intrepret it yourself’ aspect to the ending.
What a run. Of course my all time favorite episode is going to be Season 3’s "Pine Barrens" followed closely by Season 3’s Doctor Melfi’s rape which was juxtapositioned against Tracey the stripper beaten to death by demented Ralphie Cifaretto. But you can’t neglect other key moments: T
ony’s father-daughter tender moments of college hunting with Meadow mashed together with his stalking a mob rat. He’s a family man; and he’s a family man.
Another key moment often neglected, the whole complex dynamic between Father Phil Intintola and Carmela Soprano. I really enjoyed that.
Lots of things didn’t go anywhere, and often things didn’t add up for me too well. Furio? The Russian from the Pine Barrens? Tony contemplating whacking Paulie out of…annoyance? But the more subtle moments were brilliant in their underplayed simplicity; those usually revolved around his family.

Heroes, 24, Mad TV
Hilarious. And I don’t generally like MadTV
