Live From the ABC Upfront

14 May 2013 12:59 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

[Refresh For Latest]

5:38pm: First thought regarding “S.H.I.E.L.D.” — finally, a show with impressive special effects! With that, Lee calls it a night.

5:36pm: Surprising to see members of the aud heading towards the door during the highly-anticipated clip of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” Looks like no show can stop some biz heads from getting an early start on the cab line?

5:33pm: Lee wraps the ABC Upfront by bringing out Joss Whedon and the cast of Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Strobe lights flash, seeing more spots than stage now…

5:30pm: Line that got some guffaws from the cutdown of “Mixology”? “Girls wearing flats are never trying to get laid. The higher the heel, the looser she feels.” Show, about dating-challenged men, drew more laughs than NBC’s forthcoming “Undateable,” though the one-night-for-one-season concept seems like a difficult challenge to take on.

5:15pm: Kimmel monologue begins, otherwise known as The Annual Slaying of Rival Nets. »

Notebook's 5th Writers Poll: Fantasy Double Features of 2012

9 January 2013 9:40 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »

Looking back at 2012 on what films moved and impressed us, it is clear that watching old films is a crucial part of making new films meaningful. Thus, the annual tradition of our end of year poll, which calls upon our writers to pick both a new and an old film: they were challenged to choose a new film they saw in 2012—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they also saw in 2012 to create a unique double feature.

All the contributors were asked to write a paragraph explaining their 2012 fantasy double feature. What's more, each writer was given the option to list more pairings, with or without explanation, as further imaginative film programming we'd be lucky to catch in that perfect world we know doesn't exist but can keep dreaming of every time we go to the movies.

How would you program some »
