The Fanboy’s Fanblog

While doing a Google search on Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker, two former strippers and writer finalists for Project Greenlight 2, I found out they were writing for Supernatural. Although thanks to the blog Fangirl Says…, I now know that Raelle is now working on True Blood. No word on if Sera followed her or not.

So I’m pimping my Supergirl-equivalent namesake’s blog, but also stressing how much better these two writers are than Diablo Cody. Yes, the Cody bashing continues! >:D

Want free music? Love downloading Communism? Of course you do. And Mod and Rocker is just the blog to do it at.

It’s run by a music enthusiast who only makes available the Crème de la Crop. I know. I donated a link to a FLAC version of The Room soundtrack to him and he rightfully shunned it.

So check out Mod and Rocker and become a better music-phile.

Highlights:

* The Dark Knight Special Edition
* Muse - Black Holes and Revelations B-sides
* “Importance of Being Lazy” - Work Mix (UK Edition) Mix Album

Joel Silver’s Masters of the Universe movie is still not dead! The co-director of Kung Fu Panda, John Stevenson is replacing John Woo.

The linked to article describes the most weird true story I’ve ever read in print of a legitimate news source:

Stevenson said the first film came to mind when he was asked to consider the job, and the impression wasn’t a good one. He changed his mind when he went to Mattel headquarters and was shown into a secret lair that contained the visuals created by the toymaker staff.

“There was this locked bunker that you had to be escorted into,” Stevenson said. “It was filled with art, some generated by the Mattel artists, and I looked around, and said, ‘I get it.’ We started formulating a specific vision for costumes, creatures, architecture, and the creation of a mythology and look for a whole world we’ll create.”

Secret Lair in the Mattel Headquarters!?!? Aye-aye-aye!!!

In other news, FOX (needing a hit) has picked up The Chronicles of Narnia 3 after Disney dumped it like Steven Spielberg dumped Diablo Cody… Well, one day.

Friend of the site, Michael Ausiello, has come out to say he “no likes” my ever bitter nemesis Diablo Cody’s The United States of Tara.

I’m sure Steven Spielberg is upset and if I were him, I’d cut all ties with Cody and stick to working with Michael Bay. Trust me, Steve, he’s the lesser of two evils.

Please stop trying…

Breaking news, ABC gave the greenlight for three new pilots.

Inside the Box

From Grey’s Anatomy executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, and screenwriter, Richard E. Robbins, comes this story of a “Washington network news bureau (that) centers on an ambitious female news producer and her colleagues.”

Sound interesting? Nope. Might as well be a spinoff of Brothers & Sisters with Calista Flockhart. I’d watch that.

I, Claudia

“… Is a contemporary drama from writer John Scott Shepherd. The project, produced by ABC Studios, centers on Claudia McIntire, a young prosecuting attorney who doesn’t know that one day she is going to be a serious contender for the presidency of the United States.”

Really? Prequel that may or may not end with her getting a presidency bid? Meh.

Brothers & Detectives (Name Pending)

Obviously this will get a different name given that it sounds like Brothers & Sisters. This is “… written and exec produced by Daniel Cerone, is about a low-level detective who, after the death of his estranged father, discovers he has a brilliant 11-year-old brother who is adept at helping him solve crimes.”

This just sounds like an 80s show. Doogie Howser P.I.! It is based on an Argentinian drama. Which begs to question, Argentina has original programming!?

Am I excited by any of these? No. ABC should’ve kept Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone!

What’s happening in the entertainment world?

Stan Lee’s company is suing Marvel for $750 million. Avi Arad is among the suers. Look, Stan Lee has been involved in so many court cases, I’ve lost count. What’s one more? I expect to never hear about this again.

NBC refuses to show a sexy PETA ad during the Superbowl. I just watched the ad at that link… yeah, that’s WAY too racy for the Superbowl. I side with NBC. PETA, I continue to be surprised by the depths of your evil. For special features of the commercial click here. Basically PETA thinks women are meat. Ironic, no?

‘Veggie Love’: PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad

Okay, one more Link Pimp. That and the last one filled up the entire column so you can no longer click the links on the right. Hopefully, this will push them down.

My long lost friend, Sarah Mann, went to Europe and is currently writing a blog about it at: http://writergal1421.wordpress.com/.

Is this the best blog ever? It’s damn close. You will notice right away she’s a MUCH better blog writer than yours truly.

For all you fanboys I know that monitor this blog, maybe it’ll help you to read hers by picturing this girl writing them:

Yeah. Pimped.

Well, since I’m logged in I might as well “link pimp” my friend’s film.

That trailer scares the crap out of me.

Travis Peters had this to say: “My buddy Joe and I shot this in mid-December and are in the editing process as we speak. However, in the mean time, enjoy this little trailer to get a taste of what’s to come. (Ew, that wasn’t supposed to be a pun, but you get it, right?)”

While I’m frightened, I can’t wait to see it.

Very good question, digibits. The short answer is no. However, I get extremely lazy from time to time and monitoring the entertainment news isn’t all that fun.

However, to keep you all updated. The RE5 demo came out yesterday, Kiefer Sutherland says he’ll be Jack Bauer as long as people let him (more or less), and Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich said he was tempted to appoint Oprah!

I’m watching:

Monday
The Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
24

Tuesday
Fringe

Wednesday
Lost

Thursday
Smallville
The Office

Friday
Dollhouse… eventually.

Best Blog Read Ever. Tis about the superheroine fetish.

Note: I have to read more of this blog, but I believe we could be seeing this blog being immortalized in the permanent Blogroll on the right. ^_^
