Sure! The disappearance of the 2% was a thing that happened that cause people to wonder/despair. How those reactions shook out in people's lives was what the show was about at first. And Nora Durst was awesome! Now it's about crazy supernatural things. Miracles in Miracle! Where are the people? Is so-and-so invulnerable? Hey, here's a polar bear lion! It's become focused on the least interesting parts of the premise.
They are making a TV series of the Snowpiercer movie. I think it is unlikely that this will result in a good show. Very unlikely.
That would require slowing down the plot and what made that movie work - for me - was it incessant forward momentum.
China Beach, based on the half of the first season we've watched so far, needs be be added to the list. I was in a play in college with Michael Boatman, who plays morgue supervisor Sam Beckett. When we were in college, he was two years ahead if me. Now, thanks to Hollywood magic, he's three years younger. He was five years younger in an interview with Jet Magazine in the '90s, but I've somehow managed to close the gap.
That's the one Robert Picardo was in pre-Star Trek Voyager, right? Yeah, somehow that was never aired over in Belgium.
In his first appearance in the Pilot, he walks up on a nurse and grabs here ass. He basically sounds like The Doctor in Voyager with his ethical subroutines turned off.
I think I downloaded a few eps of CB a few years ago. It did seem quite ahead of the 80's (when it aired).
I played college soccer with a fellow named Brian Krause. I left for Europe for a couple of years, came back and he was an actor, somehow younger than he was when we played ball together. Then he ended up with his original age later on. It really is magic!
Brian Cranston said something about this in an interview on NPR's Fresh Air program: basically, it was an advantage to come across as young, so in the late 80s, early 90s, he would just leave his earlier appearances off his resumé, and his "breakout" roles would appear to be gigs he got five years after his breakout roles, and voila, he's five years younger. Now, I'm not sure how this would work for Boatman, since his work on China Beach is quite good. On the other hand, makes sense for Cranston to sort of forget early gigs on ChiPs and Airwolf. Alas, Cranston pointed out to interviewer Terri Gross, along came the internet and sites like IMDB, etc. The internet doesn't forget, and the jobs of publicists got a bit harder, and actors are now a lot closer to their own actual age....
Season two of "People of Earth" starts on the 24th on TBS. We thoroughly enjoyed the first season and are excited to see what is next. Hopefully they can still bring the funny.
'Citizen Kane' TV Reboot Sparks Lawsuit Over RKO Properties - N.Y. Daily News http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...boot-claims-rko-foiled-plan-article-1.3355080 Not even the greatest movie ever made can escape Hollywood's endless remakes. A plan to turn Citizen Kane into a television series failed after the owner of the rights to the classic Orson Welles film backed out of a deal, a new lawsuit charges. Papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday pit television producer Keith Patterson against Ted Hartley, the 92-year-old former investment banker who owns the rights to RKO Pictures. RKO produced numerous classic films, including Citizen Kane and King Kong, and was once run by Howard Hughes. Patterson says that last year he pitched Hartley and RKO Vice Chairwoman Mary Beth O'Connor on a series of television projects using a "unique television financing fund." Among the projects: a remake of the 1941 film about an immensely wealthy and lonely newspaper publisher who discovers a downside to the American Dream. "Mr. Patterson would employ his unique production model to create television series based upon the valuable library of films controlled by RKO…including Citizen Kane," the suit reads. They agreed "that the updating of Citizen Kane was an important, long overdue project," according to papers. The three discussed in detail the logistics, tone, setting and appropriate actors for the series, the suit says, without naming potential stars. The collaboration even yielded the slogan: RKO Television: The Golden Age Starts Now.
The Office (US) returning in 2018.... 3 part series... https://pagez.com/2684/confirmed-the-office-us-is-returning
The first part will focus on Steve Carell’s iconic role, Michael Scott, and his new life in Colorado with his wife and CHILDREN! The second part will focus on Jim and Pam and their new family life in Austin. The third part will focus on Rainn Wilson’s character, the one and only Dwight Schrute, and his life on his beet farm as well as life in Scranton, PA who now occupies the Office now that so many of the original characters have moved away. Good. I haven't had to give people directions to the places featured in the opening of the theme song for several months. That's quite a drop off from five years ago. Alas, the beet farm is actually in California. Though the beets are pretty good around here. Nice bit of detail from the show.
So after a little research, turns out that is a hoax.... Total Michael Scott moment... http://hoax-alert.leadstories.com/3468749-fake-news-the-office-us-is-not-returning-in-2018.html
