Apatow's old radio show

17 July 2009 1:40 AM, PDT | From JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news

You don't get to be Judd Apatow, King of Comedy by just sitting around all day and suddenly deciding you want to be rich and funny. Judd's been at this for a long time and we've got the video to prove it. With Funny People on the way, Judd has dipped into his archives and pulled out some old tapes from his high school radio show. Through some old-fashioned determination he was able to convince the likes of Harold Ramis, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Garry Shandling and Paul Reiser to come...

"Virtuality” is Groundbreaking for Gays (Too Bad It’s a Mess)

25 June 2009 1:43 PM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

Gene Farber as Val Orlovsky, Jose Pablo Cantillo as Manny Rodriguez

Tomorrow night, viewers will see something extraordinary on American television: leading gay characters in a science fiction program – on a broadcast network no less.

Problem is, the rest of the pretentious, slow-moving mess of a show is about as far from extraordinary as you can get.

Fox is billing Virtuality as a “two-hour original science-fiction thriller.” But it was originally intended to be the pilot for a series that the network was once highly touting. After all, it was created by Battlestar Galactica’s Ronald D. Moore and Michael Taylor, who also wrote this pilot movie.

Somewhere between Fox’s initial enthusiasm and the execution of the idea, something went very wrong. Fox made the right call in letting this one die.

But you have to give Moore and Taylor credit: they’ve managed to cram in at least

Babes in Armor: Ten of our favorite action and fantasy movie heroines

20 May 2009 8:55 AM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

*Note: This post originally ran on May 22nd, 2008

We love our fantasy/sci-fi women ... ladies who can wield a sword or rocket launcher as well as any man, but do it so much more stylishly and, in some cases, in much less clothing! Here are ten women we definitely want on our side in the heat of battle.

Jane Fonda as "Barbarella"

in Barbarella

"Queen of the Galaxy" is a tough moniker to live up to, but if anyone can do it, Barbarella can. She has to deal with murderous children and their killer dolls, horny aliens, a blind (albeit hot) angel, and Anita Pallenberg as an eyepatch wearing assassin who Really wants to get to know her. Best of all, she shows us the proper way to strip in zero gravity, and you can see it Here, in one of the greatest (and mildly Nsfw) openings in film history.

'The Office' Makes Paper in Syndication

30 March 2009 12:07 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Next fall, you'll be able to watch The Office just about anywhere. Dismiss from your mind for a moment that you can watch episodes for free on Hulu and think about the ol' idiot box: The American production of the groundbreaking BBC series will now air on broadcast stations in 93% of the markets in the United States, according to The Hollywood Reporter, part of a huge package - that's what she said - that will work independently of NBC's existing rerun slate on TBS and Fox stations.

The new deal brings in about $3 million per episode for NBC Universal, and with about 100 episodes...well, that's pretty easy math, isn't it? On top of the Fox and TBS arrangement, The Office will now air on stations owned by CBS, Tribune, Peachtree, Sinclair, Gannett, Meredith, Hearst-Argyle, Lin, and others.

If you've ever wondered why you haven't seen Paul Reiser in about half a decade (and who hasn't?

DVD Playhouse--March 2009

DVD Playhouse—March 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Let The Right One In (Magnolia) An awkward 12 year-old boy, ignored by his mother and the target of bullies, finds himself drawn to his new neighbor: a girl his own age who only appears at night, and seems herself to be as lonely an outcast as he. Haunting film from Sweden is best described as The 400 Blows meets Nosferatu, and contains some of the most haunting imagery of any film in recent memory. Truly a unique and memorable work. Bonuses: Deleted scenes; Featurette; Photo and poster gallery. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.

Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount offers two more classic titles, restored, remastered and loaded with extras. Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief stars Cary Grant as a retired jewel thief trying to enjoy his sunset years on the French Riviera with a minimum of drama, until he catches the eye of a high-maintenance heiress (Grace Kelly,

20 January 2009 7:27 AM, PST | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

The pre-inauguration festivities heated up last night in Washington, D.C., as a smattering of celebrities (at least those not taking in Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers at the Kids' Inaugural Concert) showed up to celebrate the impending Barack Obama administration at Al Gore's eco-friendly Green Ball. Among the stars who took the stage were John Legend, Paul Reiser, Maroon 5, Blair Underwood, Lisa Ling, John Cusack, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert Kennedy Jr., Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Melissa Etheridge, who belted out Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and will.i.am, who was backed by a chorus of children on his Obama-inspired hit "It's a New Day."
