Bring on the blood-spattered bodies – the Tories are in power
1 June 2012 6:18 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Perhaps it's only natural that horror's rise in popularity – in film as well as books – tends to mirror that of the Conservative party
In May 2001, Margaret Thatcher gave a speech to a gathering of Tories in Plymouth. She told the party faithful: "I was told beforehand my arrival was unscheduled, but on the way here I passed a local cinema and it turns out you were expecting me after all. The billboard read The Mummy Returns."
A joke, perhaps, but one that shouldn't be dismissed too lightly, because as the horror genre enjoys one of its shambling, cyclical returns to form, could it possibly be that such spikes in supernatural fiction's popularity do, in fact, coincide with Conservative gains on the UK's political battlefield?
A cursory glance at the points where horror fiction did enjoy periods of resurgence do tend to follow an upward graph with Tory fortunes. For example, »

Star Trek: Voyager and Buffy Vet Appear in Sci-Fi Comedy Webseries Sparklepuff Lazerium
1 June 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
It’s really difficult to resist an email that begins with “Dear amazeballs high powered person who can share this with your minions“, and with that I was introduced to the most ridiculously funny, completely inapproprite, absurd sci-fi comedy webseries I’ve ever seen… Sparklepuff Lazerium.
I will warn you that there’s a bit of mildly offensive imagery, and tons of sexual innuendo, so the trailer and episodes you can watch on its YouTube channel may be considered Not Safe For Work to some degree. Make sure you check out the press release below the video for all of the cast details and links.

‘Castle’ Ep Laurie Zaks Starts Production Company, Signs Deal With ABC Studios
31 May 2012 5:36 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: Castle executive producer Laurie Zaks is putting down roots at ABC Studios, which produces the ABC dramedy. Zaks has signed an overall deal with the studio, her first overall pact, and has launched her own production company, Second Season. Under the one-year deal, which has an option for a second year, Zaks will develop new projects. The name she chose for her company is a reference to “what you want to get for your show, a second season,” Zaks said. But also, “the second season is spring which is time for renewal. This is new for me, and I love that spiritual meaning.” Zaks has been at ABC Studios since 2006 when she left the network executive ranks to become president of Armyan Bernstein’s Beacon Television, which had a deal at the studio (then Touchstone TV). At Beacon, she developed Castle and has spent the past four years as »

The dust has barely settled on the 2011-2012 television season, but the studios are already gearing up the season box sets in anticipation of the fall premieres.

Zooey Deschanel "not sure" about possible 'New Girl' musical episode
30 May 2012 8:46 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Zooey Deschanel has cast doubt on the possibility of a New Girl musical episode. Deschanel told TV Line that an all-music installment of New Girl might not work as well as it did for Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Community. "I'm not sure," the actress admitted. "The comedy is totally different on Community. They can get away with making things a bit more surreal." Deschanel went on to clarify that she's not totally opposed to the idea, but would simply want to ensure that the music fit the fictional "world" (more) »

The Annual Free Comic Book Day Report – Geek Girl Navigating the World
30 May 2012 4:53 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
One of the great joys of becoming a responsible adult is being able to walk into a store that sells nothing but candy and soda and spend twenty bucks, just because you have it and you want to with no one can really tell you no. It’s even better to be able to walk into a comic book store with another twenty or maybe fifty and just buy yourself some books that look interesting. Far better even than that is Free Comic Book Day.
Free Comic Book Day has rapidly become my favorite day of the year, because I get to go and pick out comics that I want to try without having to worry about how much I have to spend and whether or not I will like it. All that matters is if it piques my interest and if I think I want to read it. Well, »

We found a line of string long enough to connect my tin can in New Jersey with Dan's tin can in London, which means we were able to record a trans-Atlantic edition of the Firewall & Iceberg Podcast, which starts with a review of A&E's "Longmire," ends with the beginning of our summer-long "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" rewatch, and in between deals with the end of "Awake" and a "Mad Men" with much to discuss. (Dan hasn't been able to see "Game of Thrones" yet, or else we might've tried some "Blackwater" chat.)

New Girl Exclusive: Zooey Deschanel on the Chances of a Musical Episode
29 May 2012 11:40 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
TV series from Xena: Warrior Princess and Scrubs to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Community have staged musical episodes. And, since New Girl’s leading lady, Zooey Deschanel, is a bona fide pop star, it would make sense for her show to do one, too, right?
Not so fast! “I’m not sure,” the actress — half of the indie duo She & Him — tells TVLine. “You always have to consider how things fit into the world of the show. The comedy is totally different on [for instance] Community. They can get away with making things a bit more surreal.”

DVD Review: Clever First Season of MTV Hit ‘Teen Wolf’
28 May 2012 8:38 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Having suffered through countless knock-offs of the “Twilight” and “True Blood” phenomena, I was kind of dreading MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” Haven’t we been here before? And way too often? So I’m more surprised than anyone to report that this “Buffy”-esque drama/comedy/horror show is pretty damn good. It’s not as landmark as the Joss Whedon creation that so clearly inspired it but it’s much closer than anyone could have predicted in terms of quality. Funny, smart, and often quite clever, check out “Teen Wolf: Season One,” now on DVD.
Teen Wolf: Season One was released on DVD on May 22, 2012
Photo credit: MGM/UA
DVD Rating: 3.5/5.0

From Prison Break executive producer Marty Adelstein comes an electrifying, action-packed series, with a cast of hot new stars! Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) just wants to play lacrosse and land a date with beautiful »

Game Of Thrones Recap 9: Blackwater
28 May 2012 5:14 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
We know what we’re getting when we watch a Game Of Thrones episode, right? We’re getting some beautifully shot scenes, certainly; this has been one of the best-looking shows on television since its premiere. We know that the actors will be good, if not great. We know that we’ll see a wide variety of different, possibly intersecting plots, divided by geography. And we know that while there might be some action, it’ll be parceled out for more drama, more cliffhangers, but probably not catharsis. It’s a decent structure. It’s served the show well, as well as working for other HBO shows like The Wire, Treme, and Boardwalk Empire. Except that’s not what happened in “Blackwater.” It takes confidence to alter the formal structure of a television show, but it’s also often the best thing a show can do. Shows like The Sopranos »

The Time Is Right For A Big Screen "Buffy" Movie From Joss Whedon
27 May 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | Horrorbid | See recent Horrorbid news »
As a fan of Joss Whedon's influential Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, I have long hoped that we might one day get to see a big screen movie that reunited the cast from the show. My hopes have been dashed time and again, first when I encountered quotes from Sarah Michelle Gellar indicating a marked antipathy towards returning to the role that made her a star. As recently as November of last year, Gellar claimed that she would only play Buffy a… »
Review: Teen Wolf Season One
27 May 2012 2:06 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
The challenge in producing a teen-centric horror television show is that it will inevitably be compared to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon was note perfect with the casting and theme of high school is a horror movie. It takes a brave showrunner to come up with a variation that avoids duplication and can withstand the comparison. MTV, once the home for teen centric music videos, has gone from reality television to scripted series so it made sense that sooner or later they’d dip a claw into the horror genre. What few expected was how successful they would be.
The 1985 Michal J. Fox comedy Teen Wolf was a largely entertaining film capitalizing on the actor’s immense popularity from NBC’s Family Ties and certainly had a theme worthy of adaptation into weekly television. In both the film and the series, a teen encounters a werewolf and becomes one. »
