Tila Tequila, the most popular Myspace user, is getting her own MTV dating show called “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.” The show premiers October 9, at 10 p.m.

On this show, 16 men and 16 women will compete for Tila Tequila, and neither group knows about the other. They also don’t find out that Tila Tequila is bisexual until later on in the season.

The famous MySpace veteran says that the announcement on her show was also her way of coming out to her parents as well.

Californication is bloody awesome, I think I'll be making time for it every Monday night now.

I watched The Office last night, I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but last night it made me giggle a few times...

Oz is on SBS at about 11pm on Mondays - but I'm kind of tired of seeing the same episodes, so I think I'd rather get this on DVD and watch it from the beginning.

Stumbled upon the Soprano's last Tuesday and was surprised to see it kicked off from where my downloads finished ages ago, so I'm hoping I'll get home in time to watch it again tonight.

Oz is one of HBO's finest!
 :bows:

If you can handle the constant shivving, shower sex, cueballs in socks and other acts of affection it has a great ongoing story and excellent characters.

WIN!

The downside is that you can only buy Season 1 here in Oztralia and it is only recently on the market. WTF is going on, who is in charge here!

So you have to DL the other seasons and I think that you can only get them in AVI.

Season 2 of Oz is out now too homes...

Absolutely crazy show, full-on, brutal, no-holds-barred...one of my fave shows for sure!

I have the whole series on my PC but they're all fairly poor cable TV rips, still enables me to see the last couple of seasons I missed on SBS...

Shilinger (sp?) is a cunt, a total cunt.  Hes such a cunt he is great...  Ryan was probably my favourite character in Oz. 

There is such a depth to the characters, thats what makes the show so good.  Definately takes a couple of episodes to get a sense of who's who.

8.30pm – 9.30pm SBS
Sunday 16 September 2007
Dr Hildebrandt possesses one of the world's most extraordinary jobs - getting the planet's endangered animals in the mood for love. The planet's creatures are facing the biggest mass extinction since the dinosaurs were wiped out. Species are currently disappearing at up to 10,000 times the natural rate. Coming to the rescue are men like Dr Hildebrandt and his team. They are world leaders in the art of animal manipulation. The billions of pounds spent benefiting human reproduction are now being applied to save endangered species. Techniques such as artificial insemination and IVF have been crucial to the successes in breeding giant pandas, big cats and other mammals in zoos across the world. Dr Hildebrandt says "Man has created this annihilation of species. It's up to man to use his ingenuity to save them."

9.30pm – 10pm SBS
Sunday 16 September 2007
Pria reflects on how sex-saturated our modern culture is, with hard-core pornography available online 24/7 and 70 percent of the net having pornographic content. He interviews NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney about how gruesome the cases of rape and sexual assault in NSW have become, while Clive Hamilton laments the obvious link between porn and sex crimes. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, author of Kosher Sex, says that modern relationships collapse when couples lose interest in sex because he believes that sex has become the sole measure of a relationship and that people have lost sight of what sex should be.

Jane Marks is the single mother of two adult daughters, Michelle and Elizabeth, and has an African-American adopted daughter, eight-year-old Annie. Each of them have various quirks and idiosyncrasies stemming from their problems, personalities and life situations. Michelle is married to an unsupportive husband who doesn't respect or appreciate her obscure artistic endeavours, propelling her to have an affair with Jordan. Elizabeth is an aspiring actress with low self esteem, who searches for love with an actor and in the adoption of stray dogs. Little Annie wants to be white, have straight hair and has a habit of scaring people by pretending to drown in swimming pools.

 Thank God You're Here is pretty good for an Aussie show!.

 Arj Barker killed it. The other 'comedian' they had on there was shithouse though. They set him up 4 or 5 times for classic lines and he bombed out.

 Merrick was good as well

When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

great show none the less, just that a third of it isn't overly funny to me.

An unknown man calls Dae-su and asks him to figure out why he was imprisoned. He wanders into a sushi bar and is taken home by a waitress, Mido.

 Haven't watched that yet. Will have to check it out. I reckon we have some Ice, Road Truckers in OZ as well icon_wink

 Saw this awesome Megacities about Hong Kong earlier today.

 It's depressing seeing just how forward thinking some places are. They have swipe cards that you can use for all public transport and to buy small items in stores, you just have it in your wallet and run it past the reader. Then top it up online as you go. So cool.

 They are building a 29km 'Y' shaped bridged/underwater tunnel to connect them to 2 different Chinese cities as well. Fkn crazy

 Then you look at Adelaide who fight over extending a tramline 500 metres and upgrading a piece of shit grandstand in a park.

 No wonder everyone moves o/s.

I found the first 3 eps on isohunt... http://isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=Serafinowicz

Don't go the Mininova links because the tracker only lists the site where you need to register, therefore you won't get any seeds...


It's not bad so far, watched about 5 mins of the first episode. It does have some pretty corny and lame jokes in there though...it better get funnier dammit and live up to Ribbo's hype...  laugh


Edit: His impersonations of celebrities are pretty good though!

And robot talk show host is the bomb!

CHANNEL Ten star Gretel Killeen is leaving the Big Brother series after seven years as host.

The Ten Network intends on airing an eighth series of the show next year, but with falling ratings across the franchise, the show is set to undergo a major re-vamp with Killeen "the first on the list" to go.

Industry sources said network executives signed off on the decision last week.

Aside from having a new host, Big Brother will also undergo a fresh new format, with a re-think of the rules, a new set and a possible location change all on the discussion board.

Although the final show of Big Brother 7 this year attracted an average audience of 1.9 million viewers, it was still down from its peak of 2.9 million in 2004.

Overall, the reality series has been a ratings disappointment this year, particularly in Ten's core demographic of 18 to 49-year-olds, where it has dropped almost 15 per cent.

"It's actually amazing it (the re-vamp) hasn't happened before now.

"It's been in need of a face lift for at least the last two seasons," an industry source said today.

Some viewers on dedicated fan websites have expressed discontent with Killeen, accusing her of being aggressive with some housemates and gushing with praise of others.

Dedicated fan websites have accused her of being "rude", "judgmental" and "sarcastic" during her final season with others saying the 46-year-old was "old and tired".

But Killeen still has a large fan base with viewers, who have expressed strong support for the host on internet blogs and chat forums.

Fans on a forum from unofficial.com.au have backed their beloved Killeen saying: "Big Brother Wouldn't Be Big Brother If It Wasn't For Her!!!

"No One Would Watch it if it wasn't for her!

"She is the best host and the best thing for Bb!"

With time remaining on her contract with Ten, Killeen is believed to be pursuing other projects, which include writing a drama series for Ten and a new book.

She recently returned from New York where she met with publishers and is working on a film script.

Among contenders to replace Killeen is Big Brother Up Late and Friday Night Games host Mike Goldman, who is a proven hit among loyal fans and former Neighbours star Natalie Bassingthwaighte who will be road-tested as host of the upcoming So You Think You Can Dance series.

Falling ratings have been of such concern to Ten, it is understood staff from the network and the Edemol Southern Star group, were asked to "be creative", and provide ideas to freshen up the franchise.

Network Ten refused to comment this week, saying talk of Killeen's role and the re-vamp of the show was "pre-mature".

The news also comes after Ten almost lost the flagship BB brand in a fierce bidding war with the Seven Network last month - a battle which pushed the price up to more than $40 million.

"They're gonna have to prove that money was well spent and get some viewers back," a source said today.

Big Brother himself, Endemol Southern Star group manager Kris Noble, recently resigned from the production company.

The group's new boss Rory Callaghan is believed to have backed the move to let Killeen move on.

It is understood former Channel Nine Executive Producer Virginia Hodgson will take over the role of Big Brother.

Killeen has fronted more than 250 shows and interviewed more than 100 evictees.

Killeen has declined to comment, and Channel Ten did not return calls after being contacted by The Daily Telegraph Online today.

Shaun of teh Dead is on tv tonite!

Shaun of the Dead
   
10.30pm – 12.30am TEN
Sunday 28 October 2007
An ordinary guy tries to get back with his ex-girlfriend while trying to avoid zombies that have overrun the city and want them, their friends and family dead.

Al;so, on SBS there is a cool sounding Lost Worlds - About exhuming bodies to find out how they were murdered, or tracking down what happened to someone when their body is found a fair while after they died...Gross!

Raising the Dead

       
7.40pm – 8.30pm SBS
Sunday 28 October 2007
John Hunter is an archaeology professor at Birmingham University. In his spare time he exhumes bodies for the police. He is driven by a deep empathy for the families of victims, who cannot find rest until their loved ones' bodies are returned to them. His training in archaeology gives him the ideal grounding in recreating past events based on the evidence of the dead. Mark Green is an art lecturer who has been missing for six months. His body has been dismembered and buried in a garden, and this is Hunter's first exhumation. His findings on the nature of how the grave was made reveals it was done in a calculated manner, leading to a life sentence for the perpetrator.

And this sounds good too...

The Face of Evil
   

8.30pm – 9.30pm SBS
Sunday 28 October 2007
The Face of Evil surveys the long history of attempts to identify and categorize evil through the use of physiognomy - the study of people's facial features - for the purpose of learning more about their inner qualities, such as their personality traits. The focus of this film is on certain misguided efforts by sociologists, criminal prosecutors and others to catalogue literal signs among those whom they believed to be born criminals to define the face of evil. In 1943, the German police arrested Bruno Ludke, a semi-literate, feeble-minded peasant accused of having committed more than fifty murders, making him the worst serial killer in history.

Spent the last few days in bed watching the Firefly series. A sci-fi/western series by Joss Whedon that was cut at the end of the first season. Discovered it when the movie Serenity came out which was only made due to the overwhelming following the series had before it was cut. Highly reccommend it!!!

 Sal & I watched it, wasn't too bad! Could definitely tell The Office influence, some wrong humour in there as well. Got a few laughs out of it and will be watching to see how it develops.

 Aussie comedy seems to be improving at last.

Spent the last few days in bed watching the Firefly series. A sci-fi/western series by Joss Whedon that was cut at the end of the first season. Discovered it when the movie Serenity came out which was only made due to the overwhelming following the series had before it was cut. Highly reccommend it!!!

Firefly is one of my favourite shows, and plus, Joss Whedon is a genius inlove

I have it on DVD. Yay. I was devastated when I finished the first season and there was no more  Cry

Just a heads up or EZTV users if you've been finding you can't get into the site anymore, ie. it just redirects you to google...

Is tivo avail in Australia? Or is it pretty much the same as Foxtel IQ?

What I like about our dvd recorder is that it also plays every type of dvd disc ever invented. All the programs that I had downloaded on Peachey's laptop that he has now taken away with him I can now watch on our 37" tv. We used to try to watch everything on the laptop until this entered my life  biggrin

i think u can get tivo here. its separate to the set top box u get for pay tv. in america its way easier to use, everyone basically gets cable, no need for boxes. so the tivo acts as the recorder for all the shows. but it also learns what u like n stuff, n records things for ya! foxtel iq is an australian adaptation i spose!

I think I've seen them - separate hard drive to digital set top boxes...?
Our last dvd player was a piece of poo. We lost all the codes to play dvd's from other regions shortly after we got it and couldn't find them online. We could pretty much only play normal dvd's through it and the picture quality on our tv now that we have a big one was terrible - real pixilated. I am off to ask it to record "so you think you can dance" for me tonight in case I will miss it. *yesssss*

 I don't mind Dexter. It's a good series to have up your sleeve when nothing else is on.

 It's a great idea for a show, however it lacks the 'polish' of the other quality shows getting round (in terms of producion and even acting). The characters besides Dexter are quite stereotypical also.

 Worth a look, won't blow you away though.

Charlie Brooker (English comedic God, who wrote a series with Chris Morris, and TV critic) absolutely slammed it in his weekly column.


'Dexter's premise is as dumb as a dodgem full of monkeys... or like watching Scooby-Doo'

Charlie Brooker
Saturday July 14, 2007
The Guardian

You know what I miss? Fray Bentos steak and ale pies. I haven't had one in years. But as a student, I ate them all the time. I thought they represented grown-up cooking. After all, this wasn't your average takeaway slop. No. A Fray Bentos supper required preparation and patience. You had to shear the lid off with a tin opener, and chuck the pie in the oven for half an hour. The end result was sublime.

Except it wasn't. Having wolfed down better, fresher meals since then, I now realise that what I was eating tasted like piping-hot dog food by comparison. At the time I just didn't know any better. Now I couldn't face one. I've been spoiled. You can't go home again.

I'm starting to wonder if obsessively watching The Wire - a show I've recently revisited as a result of doing a short programme about it (Tapping The Wire, Mon, 9pm, FX) - has similarly spoiled me in terms of TV drama. By now, the sound of yet another person blasting on about how good The Wire is probably makes you want to yawn your soul apart, but really it's so absorbing, so labyrinthine and bloody-minded, it makes almost everything else seem a bit... well, a bit Fray Bentos.

Take Dexter (Sun, 10pm, FX). I'd heard a lot of positive things about it. Beyond positive, in fact: people queued up to give it a blowjob. And tickle its balls. And look it in the eye while they did so. These were people I trusted. And then I sit down to actually watch it and discover my head's been so warped by Wire-scented goodness, Dexter simply gets on my wick.

The premise is as dumb as a dodgem full of monkeys. Anti-hero Dexter is a blood-spatter expert working for the Miami police department. He's also a serial killer. But that's okay, because he's managed to channel and control his murderous tendencies by indulging in vaguely justifiable slayings - ie he only kills other serial killers.

Preposterous, yes, but there's nothing wrong with a preposterous set-up per se. Unfortunately the show ping-pongs between quirky, tasteless comedy and what it seems to earnestly believe is a compelling study of the psychopathic mindset. It's a bit like watching an episode of Scooby-Doo in which the lighthouse keeper who's disguised himself as a sea monster in order to scare people away from his gold spends half his screen time mulling over the philosophical meaning of masks. And then stabs Shaggy in the eye with a toasting fork.

What's more, the show depends on the viewer finding Dexter himself curiously charming despite the fact that he enjoys strapping his victims to a gurney and torturing them with a drill. The easiest way to achieve this is to make said victims "worse" than he is. Implausibly worse. This week, for instance, Dexter's stalking a hit-and-run drunk driver - which means he can't be just any old drunk driver, but a serial offender who's apparently ploughed through an orphan in every state, repeatedly beaten the rap, and then shrugged it off as no big deal.

They might as well cut to a shot of him dancing on a grave with a bottle of champagne in his hand. Enter Dexter stage left with his power drill. Cue cheering. Cut to ad break. Phew, this show is, like, intense, man. It totally toys with your sense of moral justice and shit. Awesome!

Add to that a bunch of mono-dimensional cops working alongside Dexter (including his sister, whose sole character trait is a potty mouth), an irritating voiceover that's about one-tenth as wry as it thinks it is, and a smattering of unbelievably bad yet apparently earnest flashback sequences in which young Dexter is schooled in the art of anger management by his FBI-profiler dad, and you're left with a weird, offensively simplified mulch which only an idiot could truly refer to as "dark".

Which isn't to say it's utterly terrible; I'm curious enough to try the next episode. But don't be fooled into thinking it's any more sophisticated than the A-Team. It's gorier, that's all.

Strongly advise anyone who likes random bizzare humor to watch it, on DVD in australia now i think, or soon - won't be on TV here tho icon_cry

only show that's made me laugh this much, this consistently is family guy.

 Do you have Foxtel IQ? There is no way I would have Foxtel without it. I rarely watch stuff when it's actually shown. Just series link it up and it records them all, how good is it.

 There is so much shit to watch it's really incredible, but you gotta give different things a try. Lately we have been rocking out to loads of classic film clips on Party Max and Vh1 on saturday nights.

 The doco channels are sweet and I love the trashy dating shows for a laugh and the sport is sensational as well. (4 NBA games a week - thanks for coming)

 In saying that I wouldn't wanna pay for it all by myself, but $35 a month is ok.

the apple av lead set me back another 35 quid (which is what a divx dvd would cost you over here now).

Last night on Time Team they dug up Bath in the UK looking for Roman remains and found all this bronze age shit. They also reckon they found on of the most important roads in Britain during the Roman times...

And thanks to the show I realised something... When I was little, my aunty sent me a postcard from Bath. I always wondered why they sent me a card from Bath and not London... I have been worried for years that they thought I stunk and needed a bath! But it was because there was a road called the Julian Road.

Yeah a Media Centre of some kind is definitely a must.  Xbox 1 running XBMC as Khem said (there is a thread by Stryke somewhere) is probably the best cheapest option which will play literally everything with very good results. 

As for new TV, has anyone seen Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles?  I've got the first two eps on the dl now.

I watched a preair of the Pilot several months ago and I have to say it would want get a lot better in  2nd episode to be worthy.

Way too many inconsistencies with the movies for my liking and the T101 actor sucks, they will never be able to give it the same vibe as with Arnie...

When you watch the pilot check out the cringeworthy school scene...it is bad...this show is really sullying the legacy of one of the greatest sci-fi saga's ever...

It's ignoring T3 and the concepts introduced in that film, but positing an alternate reality where Cyberdyne starts in 2006.

And it's got Summer Glau in it and she's awesome!

Noddy, if you aren't decided on the series, take a watch of this video... Awesome Swearing Video

And Calamity Jane, one of teh main characters, says the word CUNT about 40 times in her 5 mins of opening scene awesomeness!!

Yeah fucking good show. Powerhouse performance from Ian McShane as Al Swearengen, cocksucker. It is pretty hard to follow unless you pay full attention to every word of dialogue spoken, as demonstrated in the Pancakes before and after Deadwood video in the YouTube thread, but it rewards you by making you feel really smart that you understand it!

For my money, the three best must watch drama series in order are... drumroll...

Oz
The Shield
Deadwood

So it fucking rates in my book.

This movie sounds like it will be good... on tonight on SBS @ 10

Dumplings

This unsavoury moral parable stars Bai Ling as a woman with an unusual recipe for eternal youth, and Miriam Yeung as the trophy wife who just can't get enough of it.

Aunt Mei is looking good for her age. Incredible, in fact. She's 64, but she inhabits the body of a beautiful 34 year old (indeed, one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world if you follow 'People' magazine's opinion of Bai Ling, the actress who plays her.) She hasn't even had surgery. "To rejuvenate you have to start from the inside," she explains early on in the film. The not-so-secret secret of her eternal youth lies in the special filling she places in her dumplings; a filling that she will go to quite terrifying lengths to secure and of which her rich clients just can't get enough...

There is a DVD out called 3 Xtremes, or some shit, of which this short film is a part of. The two other films are pretty damn good. One is directed by Tikashi Miike (sic) and is decent. The other film on the DVD is the best though. About a film director who gets kidnapped and tortured by an extra from one of his movies. But yeah, that Dumplings one wasn't bad. That review spoiled the suprise though!!! If I remember, it doesn't become clear that the recipe contains foetus' until a fair way through!

Quote

Hey Funky J! We're both right! Ha ha, I do love a happy ending! Unfortunately there is no such thing as a happy ending in any of the three stories on the 3 Extremes DVD.

Taken from www.dvdverdict.com...

The three films in this collection are only connected by genre. Each is a different take on horror, each by a very accomplished director, each from a different country. Because of this, I will judge each one on its own merits, though they have been connected enough that I will grade them together. They are designed to be watched and compared and discussed as a group.

• Dumplings
China's entry in this anthology comes from the twisted mind of Fruit Chan (Durian Durian). Dumplings tells the tale of Qing Lee (Miriam Leung, Color of Sound), an aging television star who has drifted from her husband and fears the onset of old age. As with many women, she is willing to do just about anything in order to maintain her youthful appearance. She begins to visit "Auntie Mei" (Bai Ling, The Beautiful Country), a local cook who makes dumplings with a very special ingredient. She claims that her dumplings will restore Mrs. Lee's youth. They begin to work, but as the secret ingredient is revealed, Mrs. Lee must decide whether protecting her looks and her marriage is worth eating such a horrible thing.

• Cut
Korea's entry in the anthology is delivered by Chan-wook Park of Oldboy-fame. In it, a breakout director (Byung-hun Lee, 3-Iron) is taken hostage on a movie set he has modeled after his home. He finds both his wife's life (Hye-jeong Kang, Oldboy) and his own in the hands of a madman (Won-hie Lim, Crying Fist) bent on playing a vicious and savage game.

• Box
Takashi Miike's is a better-known name than the other two directors. He offers Japan's entry in this horror anthology. Box is the story of Kyoko (Kyoko Hasegawa, Jiyuu Renai), a young woman who is plagued by dreams of being trapped in a box. When she searches back into her memory, she begins to realize that there may be a genuinely good reason for these dreams. Something is haunting her, and the key to discovering what it is is somewhere in her own past.

Yeah, it's gold that one. Hopefully they'll remake that one too. It seems much more suited to become a feature-length film than Dumplings did. Must check out the full version of that btw. Damn me for thinking I had already seen it! Coulda checked it on the foreign soft-core channel!!!

this kid sam turns 21 and finds out that before he was born his mum and dad sold the soul of their first born child (sam), the devil can collect once he turns 21. the devil isnt gonna take his soul and send him to hell like you would expect, instead he gets sam to become his bounty hunter, he has to look for souls who have escaped hell and send them back there.

sounds like it might be a bit like supernatural, but its actually a comedy and kevin smith is executive producer

i had a 120 gb drive in mine so id just take the xbox into the room with my pc in it, load it up and take it back to the lounge. it plays avi from disc as well if you just wanna burn something quick...

tv last night was gold

double eps of punk'd, dirty sanchez, family guy and 30 rock

30 rock is one of the funniest shows about at the moment... here are a few quotes from it:

Tracy: "Ken, I’ll be gone soon but I just wanted you to know that I loved being your mentor, and it’s been an honor having you be my manatee."

Tracy: "The Black Crusaders are a secret group of powerful Black Americans. Bill Cosby and Oprah Winfrey are the chief majors, but Jesse Jackson, Colin Powell and Gordon from Sesame Street; they're members, too and they meet four times a year in the skull of the Statue of Liberty. You can read about that on the Interweb."

Liz: What made you think I was gay?
Jack: Your shoes.
Liz: Well, I'm straight.
Jack: Those shoes are definitely bi-curious.

Gracelessly: How Sex and the City are we right now? I’m Samantha, (to Phoebe) you’re Charlotte, and (to Liz) and you’re the lady at home who watches it.

I think the F and C words are slightly overdone but the term Cocksucker is used in appropriate quantities. Great script!

Does anyone here prefer the Wire to Deadwood?
I hear that some do...

Nine told to hand over Underbelly tapes

Thursday February 7th, 2008.

Victoria's Supreme Court has ordered the Nine Network to hand over tapes of the television series Underbelly amid fears its broadcast may prejudice a gangland murder trial.

The future of the $13 million miniseries is in doubt, with the court to receive 13 hours of tapes on Monday - just two days before the show is due to go to air.

The Office of Public Prosecutions (OPP) has subpoenaed tapes of the 13 episode series, to be viewed by Supreme Court Justice Betty King and lawyers for the alleged killer and the OPP.

Both have argued the alleged killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will not receive a fair trial if the series goes ahead.

The court heard the series would be screened on dates coinciding with the murder trial.

The alleged killer is not named in the series but a character in Underbelly is based on him.

His alleged victim is a character in the series.

Any court order would only affect the series being shown in Victoria.

Justice King, sitting in Geelong, expressed grave doubts about the series going ahead.

"How can this man get a fair trial when the whole gangland wars are exposed on national television?" Justice King said.

She said the series may portray the alleged victim as "a particularly evil man or a nice man, I don't know".

"It is putting it at the precise same time as the trial into the loungerooms of every potential juror in Victoria.

"The whole purpose of Underbelly is to be in the homes of every Victorian - that is the purpose of your client."

Anthony Brand, for the alleged killer, said the show would be prejudicial.

"This is well-crafted, powerful, interesting, riveting and indeed illuminating," Mr Brand said.

"I do not want this material at all in the arena."

Brendan Murphy, for the Nine Network, refused to voluntarily hand over the tapes, saying they were incomplete and that the network's lawyers were closely supervising production.

"The particular movements of people in the series is subject to continual editing," Mr Murphy said.

"It hasn't finished. It is ongoing."

He said the series made no assertions about the guilt of the accused killer.

An edited version of the series would be shown in Victoria, Mr Murphy said.

"The fact of the matter is Channel Nine has taken this very seriously," Mr Murphy said.

The subpoena states that copies of two completed episodes, along with uncut versions of the other 11 episodes, plus episode outlines and story lines, must be handed to the court by 10am on Monday.

This will probably only affect Victoria TV viewers, as it is not a federal case but state based one.

I'm torn about The Sarah Connor Chronicles, on one hand im looking forward to seeing something new based on the terminator, but i have this plaguing feeling that its gonna lick balls...and that its just going to rely on CGI effects not a storyline or character development...i'll probably still check it out though...

this however, is exciting me much more
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_4#Terminator_Salvation:_The_Future_Begins

Quote
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is the upcoming 2009 fourth installment to the Terminator film series, written by David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato, and Michael Ferris, directed by McG,[1] and starring Christian Bale as John Connor.[2] Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, and Claire Danes will not be returning.[3][4] Shooting of the film is expected to start on April 21, 2008 in Budapest.[3][5]

The plot and storyline of the film takes place after the events of T3 around 2019 and focuses mainly on the war between humanity and Skynet in the post-apocalyptic world.[7] John Connor will continue to be the central character along with a new character named Marcus, who will have "equal presence."[10] However, other sources say that the film will instead focus on Marcus.[11] James Middleton, the associate producer of the film, stated that "It's really about the birth of a new hero,"[5] while McG would say that it will also be about the development of the Arnold model T-800.[7]

Strike's end starts TV production frenzy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080213/ap_en_tv/hollywood_labor

LOS ANGELES - Lights, camera, action — but first, here come the writers.

Members of the Writers Guild of America were planning a return to work Wednesday after voting to end their strike on its 100th day, thus allowing Hollywood to jump-start stalled production of numerous TV sitcoms and dramas.

"It will be all hands on deck for the writing staff," said Chris Mundy, co-executive producer of the CBS drama "Criminal Minds." Actual production won't begin, however, until scripts have been completed, which could take days or even weeks.

For the Feb. 24 Academy Awards, the vote Tuesday by East and West Coast guild members ended the threat of a boycott by writers and actors that would have robbed the ceremony of its celebrity luster.

Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which stages the Oscars, responded effusively.

"I am ecstatic that the 80th Academy Awards presentation can now proceed full steam ahead," he said, and without "hesitation or discomfort" for the nominees.

The writers' decided overwhelmingly in favor of ending the strike: 3,492 said yes, with only 283 voting to stay off the job. The number of guild members involved in the strike was 10,500, with countless other industry workers forced into unemployment because of the walkout.

Writers did not vote on the tentative contract agreement that already has won approval from the union's board of directors. The contract ratification vote will be conducted by mail and at meetings and will conclude Feb. 25.

Approval is expected, given Tuesday's lopsided decision and the enthusiasm for the proposed contract expressed at guild meetings held last weekend in New York and Los Angeles.

"At the end of the day, everybody won. It was a fair deal and one that the companies can live with, and it recognizes the large contribution that writers have made to the industry," Leslie Moonves, chief executive officer of CBS Corp., told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Moonves was among the media executives who helped broker a deal after negotiations between the guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, collapsed in December.

Under the tentative agreement, writers would get a maximum flat fee of about $1,200 for programs streamed on the Internet in the deal's first two years and then get 2 percent of a distributor's gross in year three — a key union demand.

Other provisions include increased residual payments for movies and TV programs downloaded from the Internet.

"These advances now give us a foothold in the digital age," said Patric Verrone, president of the West Coast guild. "Rather than being shut out of the future of content creation and delivery, writers will lead the way as television migrates to the Internet."

Michael R. Perry, a writer for "Persons Unknown" and other TV dramas, said the deal made him hopeful the guild and studios could be "partners in a growing pie" of Internet revenue.

"I want them to be fabulously, filthy rich. I just want my piece," Perry said.

The strike that began Nov. 5 dealt a financial blow to a wide range of businesses dependent on work from studios.

It took a $3.2 billion toll in direct and indirect costs on the economy of Los Angeles County, the home of most of the nation's TV and film production, according to a new estimate from Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp.

The last writers strike, a 153-day walkout in 1988, resulted in an estimated $500 million in lost wages.

Hollywood's labor pains may not be over: The contract between studios and the Screen Actors Guild is set to expire in June, said Jonathan Handel, an entertainment attorney with the Los Angeles firm of TroyGould and a former associate counsel for the writers guild.

"The signs are mixed whether this is going to be another difficult negotiation," Handel said. "The actors face all of the new-media issues that the writers and directors faced."

It was coined the Sylvia Plath effect by James Kaufmann. Most notably because although mental illness is remarkably common in all creative fields, female poets appear to be most susceptible.

Have so far watched all of Deadwood which is now up there as one of my fave TV shows ever. Current fave and the one series I just can't get enough of right now is Flight of The Conchords which is easily one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen. Can't wait for Season 2 to come out.

ooh did anyone else remember seeing Obscene Machines on sbs last year? Cant believe they got fined for "offensive material"! Hah. Go SBS!

Robot sex scene breached broadcast rules

SBS breached broadcasting rules by airing a graphic documentary about erotic toys and machines featuring an explicit scene in which a naked woman has sex with a robotic dildo. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) found SBS breached its codes of practice by showing British documentary Obscene Machines in April last year. The broadcasting watchdog, which investigated the program after receiving a complaint from a viewer, found the show was too extreme for its MA15+ classification. One 2-½-minute segment features close-up shots of a naked woman apparently being penetrated by a mechanical dildo. Another segment focuses on an elderly man's use of a life-like sex doll called Emma, modelled on his 18-year-old ex-wife.

ACMA rejected SBS's argument that a large proportion of the program dealt with the sexual activities of the old and disabled and was informational. "ACMA considers that the treatment of the subject matter in Obscene Machines is adult in nature and is therefore unsuitable for ordinary 15-year-old audience members," the watchdog said in its report. SBS said it would not screen the program again.

i dont mind blade:the series.

its probably not as full on as the movies in regards to action, but i think it is doing a pretty good job of telling a new story as well as fleshing out a bit of blade's past. its also kinda cool that the big bad evil boss is an 8 year old girl!

Made the mistake of watching the biggest loser tonight. Kind of felt bad for these massive fat cunts working their arses off and shedding only a kilo or two as a result. Considering plenty of us lose more than that over a big weekend.

I reckon they should do a version of the show where these fat bastards do nothing but eat gear all week long. Watch how the weight just drops off them then.

Could even call it The Biggest User. Would be a ratings winner for sure.

Yeah, been recording that shit with Foxtel IQ. Awesome show it is. There's one episode on basically 'Con Air' (transporting prisoners in the air) that is pretty cool. But there hasn't been an episode yet that has made me want to go to prison! Fucking good shit.

I watched something very similar last night, The Ayrian Brotherhood... the only US gang to begin inside prison. Back in the 70's they were making approx $4m/year from inside prison.

Was very interesting, especially the interviews with the 2 defectors!!!

i saw the Jeffrey Dahmer doco, and it was pretty chilling, especially how he was deemed 'sane' when he commited those fucked up crimes  crazy the bit that threw me was how after Dahmer had talked to the priest and felt he had been forgiven by christ, he didn't try to defend himself against the schizophrenic who attacked him and the other inmate - he just wanted to die...

The best live-action family show on the box??? The honour has to go to... Malcolm and the Middle.
I have never laughed myself so silly as I have in some of the episodes I have watched, can not recommend it enough.
The one show that Foxtel can run re-run after re-run of, and I won't be complaining. Pure genius, I tells ya.

Hey anyone ever get into the Rome series? I've finally got around to watching both seasons now on divx and it was one of the best drama series I've ever seen, political intrigue, treachery it's all there plus a good dose of gore and sex for good measure! While not quite historically accurate it's very well done...
