Stuff and things.

Back to what people are reading and stuff!

Pushing Daisies has been given an order for 9 more episodes, bringing it to a full season!

Viva Laughlin was cancelled after two episodes. This makes me sad since I really wanted a signing dancing Hugh Jackman on my TV every week. *sad face* However, this means that they're moving the new season of The Amazing Race forward to start on the 4th of November. Yeah! Amazing Race!

The NZ Film and Video Technician's Guild has posted some very specific shooting dates for James Cameron's Avatar, Hugh Jackman's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and even an apparent Underworld 3. They also posted unconfirmed info for Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. Any one in New Zealand? (And X-Men Origins: Wolverine... That's the tile? Really? Also, they're rushing to get the re-write finished on this one before strike time.)

Mark Millar wanted to write the Superman sequel. But because Millar is working for Marvel, the WB can't (won't?) hire him to write a DC property movie.

Were you unhappy with the first I Am Legend trailer? Try this one. As a friend of mine said, "Doctor Fresh Prince!". Cracks me up.

Ty Burrell will play Doc Samson in The Incredible Hulk.

Rupert Evans is rumored to be up for a role in the Justice League movie. (If the name isn't famiiar, he was John Meyers in Hellboy.) Rumor says Superman. Hmmmmm. There are a lot of things flying around this movie and I'm starting to get the feeling there is a lot of smoke and mirrors with what is and isn't getting out.

Morgan Freeman says that he's happy to play Lucius Fox again and his character figures more in the plot this time around.

Hooray for Pushing Daisies!

Seconded! That show is delightful!

I apprecate Mark Millar wanting to write the Superman movie, and his ideas of how he wanted to relaunch the series sounded good. But at the same time, I've never really liked, well, any of his comics work so I'm just as happy he won't be doing it.

I'd just like someone who appreciates the character and the comics to do it.

I agree with you entirely.

Very, very happy Millar won't be writing Superman.

What? You don't want a Superman movie that ramps up the sexuality and violence in order to masquerade as a mature storyline while trashing the very fans the movie was made for, then slips into a political allegory that leads to the Good Guys losing or only achieving a Pyrrhic victory, because the real world sucks that way and so show the entertainment world?

That's exactly the thing I don't want, yes. :)

Lucius is back? KICKASS.

I'm so glad for pushing daisies and at one time I saw that Hugh was only going to be a guest star on the show. It was a lil odd the first show I probably could of done away with One way or another bit of the show. To me that bit in the 1st show was just put in there to add sometime after the main bits were basically covered for that scene. I rped with a kiwi for a while and my online nurse friend is orginally from there but is living in Ausie land now and is still like planing on moving to Canada. Though I thin that's after she's done with schooling.

I liked what I saw of it. But most TV this season is lame.
