Bringin' it Back: Cleopatra 2525

Bringin' it Back's going to be a new feature. Here's the first: Cleopatra 2525.

A 30 minute action/adventure that featured these three strong women; Sarge, Hel, and Cleopatra, a cryogenicaly frozen exotic dancer from the year 2001. These women fight horrible villains and robots in an attempt to take back the surface world, stolen by robots. These three have to fight their way through the underground, directed by "Voice", the voice only Hel can hear.

Crazy, yes.

Amazing, yes.

Bad, YES.

This show lasted 2 seasons, 28 episodes.

Is it something you need to see? No. But the song is catchy...and horrible.

Check it out; it's not the worst thing you did today. I know.

L8r g8rs!

NEWS FLASH: Joe Myers Spotted at Local Fitness Center!

Joe Myers was spotted at the Fitness center of The Crest at Waterford Lakes. He was reportedly seen on the treadmill for a measly 15-20 minutes. After that he may have used the machines available, but details are sketchy.

Why is this adonis working out? Rumor has it Joe's put on a little bit of weight in the last few years. Is that what this is? Does Joe think that he's put on a bit of a keg? Is he working to redefine the term “six pack”? Who knows. All we know, is that it's going to take a little bit more than a 15 minute run to take off those extra layers. We'll keep you posted.



P.S.
Just got back from break, during which I ate a large order of fries.

Battlestar Galactica: Interview with D. Moore

This is an awesome article over at EW! Check it out over there for the visuals.

First Look! Battlestar: Galactica

Source: EW!

By Adam B. Vary

Gotta love those wily scribes at Battlestar Galactica. The fourth and final (sniff!) season of the acclaimed Sci Fi series doesn't yet have a set air date—a rep says look for it early next year (more on that in a bit)—so for an appetizer, the show's cooked up Razor, a two-hour flashback episode airing Nov. 24. (An extended-cut DVD hits shelves Dec. 4.)

The story is ostensibly about the first mission of the (now-lost) Battlestar Pegasus under the command of Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber), which falls roughly in the latter half of the second season. It's told, though, through the eyes of new character Kendra Shaw (Stephanie Jacobsen). ''Lee promotes [her] to be his [second-in-command],'' explains show-runner Ronald D. Moore, ''and you wonder, who is this woman?'' That question, says Moore, allows the show to explore ''a lot of things that we've talked about or alluded to but never actually seen. You start flashing all the way back to before the Cylon attack on the colonies, to who she was, how she came to the Pegasus, what happened to them, and what was their story before they met up with Galactica.''

The Pegasus backstory means that yes, the hard-bitten, uncompromising Admiral Cain (Michelle Forbes) will be returning, much to the delight of the writers. ''Everyone sat up [in the writers room] and said, 'Yeah! Let's do something with Pegasus and Admiral Cain,''' reports Moore, ''because everyone missed her.'' And we'll get to see just how Cylon agent Gina (Tricia Helfer), a ''Six'' model, went from posing as a systems analyst to the beaten, raped, and tortured prisoner in the Pegasus brig eventually responsible for axing Adm. Cain.

But Razor isn't just confined within the Pegasus bulkheads. ''Along the way,'' says Moore, ''we also do things like flash back to the original Cylon wars 40 years ago. We see a young [William] Adama [who will be played by a younger actor, not Edward James Olmos] fighting in a Viper. We move around quite a bit in the chronology of the series.'' Although that chronology won't include any sort of resolution to the season 3 cliffhanger, Moore does guarantee that ''there are some things that happen in Razor that set up things in the fourth season.''

Yeah, about that fourth season: ''It's very big,'' promises Moore. ''We're moving very strongly into the finale of the show. It's about getting to Earth, and what does Earth mean, and what is it, and where is it.'' Along with previously announced guest star Lucy Lawless (who'll pop up again for a few episodes as messianic Cylon D'Anna Biers), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine alum Nana Visitor will appear in an episode as a cancer patient undergoing treatment with President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell). Oh, and Moore says that, yes, he does know who the final unknown Cylon is; yes, whoever is playing that character knows he or she has been anointed; but no, they haven't shot the reveal yet (it will most likely be in the second half of the season).

Just when we get to see that half, however, is still very much up in the air. When asked about recent reports that Battlestar's final episodes may not air until 2009, Moore is noncommittal. ''That's a possibility,'' he concedes. ''No decisions have been made in terms of airdates and how many episodes they're going to run. There's a lot of factors, everything from there are other series they're going to have on the air [to] a possibility of a writers strike and how that affects programming. It's a complicated equation and there's no answer to that yet.''

Really, though, no matter when it airs, Moore is pumped about how it will all end. ''I took the writers on a retreat over the summer for a few days and we had lengthy discussions about Earth, what it's going to be when we get there, and what it means for the show. At this point, I think we're pretty jazzed. We really liked where we ended up. It's certainly a bittersweet thing, because we know it's the end. But we're happy with the direction we're going.''

CMI...kiss my ass!

I've got a 95% in my CMI class! WOOT! 100% on the in-lab project that's 20% of my grade.

KNWT- Open Channel Promo

A promo we made for our campus-based television show... Open Channel

Cary Judd maybe coming to FL?

It's been pretty chill the last few days. I've been studying for uber-quiz numero dos, so I haven't had all the time in the world for anything else. Two days ago though, I took the time out to write Cary Judd and see if he was coming to the FL anytime soon. I received a response this morning:

I'm meeting w/ my booking agency this month, as of yet, i've never been to
the south (FL, AL, MS, GA, SC), I'll talk to them and see about it.

Badass.

G'night

I'm sitting in the apartment, mellowed. It's been ups and downs for the past three months. I'm glad to be in film school, missing my friends and family, and looking forward to the next two years.

By the by, Darren Aronofsky finally posted the commentary for The Fountain on his new website: http://www.darrenaronofsky.com. Check it out when you get a chance. Looks good.

Good luck to everyone.
All the best.

2008 - The Year of the Geek

The times are right.

There's the smell of 1's, 0's...ink...celluloid...ripe island-dwelling Losties returning to the screen, the stench of 41,399 survivors breathing the same air for five years, the dead returning, a world full of XX chromosomes, the comic book return of a lone soul, something bionic...

We live in the time of the geek and it's great.

Here are some of the things I can't wait for:

I didn't used to be a fan, but recently things have changed and now I really can't wait for Iron Man. Should be great with Robert Downey and this trailer.

Lost Season 4
I fell in love in season 1, kept up to date with season 2, was impatient during season 3, but can't wait for season 4 now that the entire run has been laid out. Season 4 starts in January and will run straight through for the entire season arc. I hope it gets me back...this wait is killing me.
Dead Like Me - The Movie
Can't wait to see George, Mason and Roxy... I'm sad that Rube supposedly will be missing, and that Georgia's going to be played by someone else, but I'll take what I can get. This show was sooooo mishandled during its short time on Showtime, but I'm really hoping that this movie can get it kick-started again.

Lie to Me
I'm an extra...W00t! No release info yet...
Risk: At-Risk Girls Behind the Camera
This is gonna rock! Should be making some festivals hopefully next year...who knows? I can't wait to see how it turned out. Go Risk!

Battlestar Galactica - The Final Season
The trip to Earth is almost complete. Our weary travelers have been to hell and back. The cylons are catching up and the race for the final destination will heat up in this final season of BSG. We'll be saying good bye to more than one character. People will die. This series will rule.

Y: The Last Man
Brian K. Vaughn's (Lost, Buffy: Season 8) great comic of post-apocalyptic world of 2002 has an interesting twist. The apocalypse leaves a planet full of women...and only one man. Let the bitch fest begin! This is being made into a movie, and I expect that it'll be pretty awesome. Go.
