Apparently she’ll return as Bella’s mother in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”.

Now this bugs me only because it means I have to go see that movie. Clarke was easily the best thing about the first film. I should probably ask a “Twilight” fan if she does anything important in the franchise. My guess? She dies.

My bet: The film will star Matthew McConaughey and Megan Fox.

Kyle Ward, Uwe Boll the second? The next Justin Marks? I think so. Kyle Ward: The new name to fear with infamy.

No, that isn’t fair. Their article’s topic was interesting, but they couldn’t add any insight. No wonder I’ve never heard of them.

The topic was about six (just six) characters who may or may not have escaped virtual reality.

Intriguing premise… But what ruins their article is the lack of intelligence, insight, originality, or even sanity in author Alasdair Wilkins’ work. I suppose he’s just a college student writing articles for free like most of these contrived internet rants that people vomit up.

Here’s his list as he saw fit:

#1. Douglas Quaid, Total Recall

A good number one. At the end of the day most people take “Total Recall” as a brainless action movie. It doesn’t take itself as a serious mind bending twist ending kind of film, but people like to justify the movies they like; thus they tend to argue whether or not the movie’s real. Personally, I always believed it was real.

Wilkins thought the other way and made up the number “10%” that it was real. Why 10%? No real reason. It’s just the number he picked out of a hat.

#2. Sam Tyler, Life On Mars (US Version)

I actually caught this finale, but even I have to question its inclusion. The finale left no question that Sam was an astronaut in the future with father issues. But Wilkins throws out the number “30%” which doesn’t make a lick of sense.

#3. Neo, The Matrix

Again, Wilkins obviously doesn’t think too much with his brain as he specifies the first film. He actually alludes to the real scenario which involves “Matrix Reloaded” and NOT the first movie! It is the sequel that purely raised the question of The Matrix in The Matrix. Wilkins brushes it off as being because the sequels “sucked”. Wilkins, to say the sequels sucked is to say they were worse than the “Underworld” films and if you believe that, you not only don’t know a thing about pop culture, you don’t know jack$hit about films either.

#4. Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Wilkins refers to one episode in season six that supposed the whole series was a delusion of Buffy’s. However, Wilkins did something quite rare in that he explains why that theory was bullocks: Buffy would be brain dead given the medicine. But where Wilkins fails is that he still gives this scenario a “50%” out of nowhere. He just quashed the theory and then says ‘It could go either way!?’ This really just shows that his percentage system is based on nothing. I think this Wilkins fellow is really Mayor Wilkins…

#5. Batman, Batman: The Animated Series

I give him points for just remembering this episode. He of course says that there’s “98%” chance that it wasn’t real because Batman always wins. Oy… Wilkins… I now hate your name for all the other Wilkins in the world.

#6. Number Six, The Prisoner

Ah, “The Prisoner” the show that was the strangest spinoff in history. Wilkins tries to be smart about and as predicted fails miserable.

If I were grading Wilkins’ article like it was a college term paper, I’d give it (and the site that published it) a D+. It is incredibly below average, but I’ll give it a high D for being an interesting concept. However, he showed little effort, thought, or any coherence in his writing. Making up conclusions will get you nowhere in life. Thankfully, Alasdair Wilkins is trapped in virtual reality.

Sadly, “Cupid” will be no more. I am fine with this on account that the first three episodes were A-MAZ-ING and then became less so afterwards. That’s alright, I hear Rob Thomas has a “Veronica Mars” movie in the works. That certainly takes the sting out of the bite. Hopefully it’s not a poisonous snake bite. Yowza!*

*BTW, I’ve decided to start saying “Yowza!” in order to support Greg Grunberg’s latest entrepreneur plan. It’s an app that gives you coupons. Yowza!

See if you qualify!

Here’s the message I’ve been sending my friends:
Hey guys, you know how sometimes you get a friend come to you and try to sell you something, like a movie investment or the right to sell things to more people? This isn’t that.

Anyway, I know you guys love television. I’ve been a member of the ABC Studios Advisory Panel for a few years. That pretty much means giving direct feedback to ABC on their shows. Activities I’ve participated in have included watching and providing feedback for pilots, helping to name shows, providing feedback for potential DVD extras, and discussions of all the ABC shows. It’s a lot of fun and all activities are not mandatory so you don’t have to give feedback every day. So why not see if you qualify to join?
