We’re having traumatic flashbacks to another sci-fi prequel. Genre fans, get ready for a chill to go up your spine – Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. “What! No way!” you say. “The Phantom Menace was teh suck and Caprica is – well, I don’t know yet.” Steel yourselves for this, because they’re the exact same thing.
Sir Anthony Hopkins may be one of the finest actors working today, with a filmography that stretches back to the ’60s. But let’s be honest: when the book is written on him, Hopkins will be better remembered for eating a man’s liver with fava beans than for spouting the words of Shakespeare. Let’s take a look at the entirety of his career.
Who has time to watch TV these days? Let us cut through the BS and strip down the shows your friends are constantly yammering about to the bare essentials so that the next time your best bud or that potential love interest is hyperventalating over their favorite show, you’ll be able to Fake Your Way Through It.
After a spirited debate about the Tea Party movement on last night’s Tonight Show with… guh… Jay Leno, guest Sarah Palin was re-introduced by Leno, and proceeded to launch into her stand-up comedy routine. No, we are not kidding.
Spin City wasn’t a bad sitcom and given that it was on for six years, people certainly watched it. But in no way has it gained the cultural cachet of a Seinfeld or Cheers. In fact, the only time anyone probably thinks about Spin City is when trying to remember what Fox did between Family Ties and Rescue Me. Except, of course, for our intrepid fanfic writers. We once again scoured the depths of FanFiction.net, trying to answer the question “What if the cast of Spin City crossed over with Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory?” Luckily, we got the answer to that question, and many more…
Directed/Co-wrote/Acted in this… You may recognize it from ‘The WOW’:
We’d bet you have to go pretty deep into the catalog to find a Tom Hanks movie you’ve never seen. As one of the most popular actors of our time, Hanks has managed to be all things to all people, a dramatic and comedic powerhouse. Even so, we’re guessing you didn’t get to the theater when these were playing.
People say funny things on TV all the time. What if we took that stuff and put it on a t-shirt? That’s a multi-millionaire dollar industry right there. We’d be Shamow and Snuggie-rich! So, let’s fire up the ole’ silkscreen machine in the basement we used to print our crappy band’s t-shirts with and make something worth wearing!
Considering how into The Office boss Michael Scott is to catchphrases, you’d think the show was tailor-made (pun very clearly intended) for T-shirts. But most of The Office’s humor comes from long awkward pauses, long awkward exchanges, and awkward glances towards the camera – not the best fodder for a T-shirt (though I’d definitely wear one that said “Awkward Glance To The Camera”). No worries, though! We’ve scoured all six seasons to come up with the most T-shirt ready quotes… Even if you wouldn’t be able to wear these to work:
TV fans might be seeing double if they consume a little too much genre fare, as actor Mark Pellegrino is playing crucial roles on the current seasons of both Lost and Supernatural. We decided to break it down and see just how different Jacob and Satan really are. From the handy spreadsheet we’ve created below, you can see that maybe they have more in common than one Mark Pellegrino. In fact, if you read between the lines, perhaps a massive Lost/Supernatural crossover is almost upon us, with the Winchester boys hitting the Island to kick Smocke’s sorry butt back to the Temple. I am pretty sure that every culture has a legend about a smoke monster…
When he’s not on tour, in the studio or banging Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake randomly drops by Studio 8H.
