For decades, the tabs versus spaces debate has been a heated discussion among coders. The issue is so widespread it crossed over to an episode of “Silicon Valley” last year, with Richard (Thomas Middleditch) torpedoing a romantic relationship over the spaces-tabs divide. To refresh your memory, Richard was firmly in favor of tabs, while Winnie, his flame from Facebook, used spaces. As they’re coding together, Richard can’t stand hearing Winnie hit the space bar and has a mini-breakdown — and in the process, completely blows her invitation to come over the next night. But as it turns out, Richard...

“Shooting anything physical is so funny,” Thomas Middleditch tells Et about filming Silicon Valley season four, which premieres Sunday, April 23 on HBO.
As Richard Hendricks, the creator of a data compression start-up, the actor often had a thankless role to play in the first couple of seasons. While the center of the series, Richard is a constant worrier and very much a straight man to louder characters, such as Erlich Bachman (T.J. Miller), an arrogant entrepreneur and partner in Richard's company, and the increasingly zany and subversive Donald "Jared" Dunn (Zach Woods).

But as season three proved with a first-ever Emmy nomination for Middleditch (and season four will expand upon), Richard can be very funny -- especially when the actor gets to put his physical comedy chops on display. Last season, the character was very much at the center of the laughs, thanks...

Gilmore Girls is often praised for the beautifully written relationship between Lorelai and her daughter, Rory.
As a single mom at 16, Lorelai knew no other way to parent Rory other than to raise her as a friend, a confidant, and an equal.
While Lorelai and Rory’s freakishly close bond has always remained the heart of the beloved series, it’s a stark contrast to the relationship that exists between Lorelai and her own mother, Emily.
Emily raised Lorelai in a privelged home, but stripped away much of the freedom that children desire, which caused an eventual rift between the two strong-willed women, and lead to Lorelai leaving home with a newborn, ready to find her own independence working at the Independence Inn in Stars Hollow.
Some of the greatest triumphs of the series are the incredible scenes between these two characters who are incredibly similar, but also two sides of the same coin.

Richard can’t live a “normal” life because, well, he’s an exorcist. Gravitas Ventures has acquired North American rights to Daniel Falicki’s Accidental Exorcist, and along with this announcement comes an official trailer for the film.
Press Release: Gravitas Ventures has secured North American rights to “Accidental Exorcist” from Director Daniel Falicki, Executive Producer Warren Croyle and Producer Sheri Beth Dusek. Croyle and Dusek also wrote the script about Richard Vanuck (Falicki, “Devils in the Darkness”), a thirty-something, dirt poor alcoholic who can’t hold down a day job or maintain a normal life due to a very special “gift” he was born into.
All Richard really wants is to finish his book but fate dealt him a very strange hand – he is a natural born Exorcist. In fact, he is the best there ever was and with possessions on the rise across the city, he’s booked solid.

Minimalist 'Z' monster movies really took off in the 1950s, earning good money on tiny outlays of time, money, and sometimes talent. Dan Milner's directing is competent, to be kind, but the 'nothing happens' script is a sure-fire soporific -- Roger Corman surely didn't worry about the competition. The good news is Richard Harland Smith's commentary, which delivers more illuminating info on this show than we thought existed.

Gilmore Girls is reportedly coming back for four 90-minute movies on Netflix, which is the best news Stars Hollow fans have heard since Kirk released his last short film. But what will happen in these films, aside from pop-infused banter, a de facto ode to glossy brown hair, the consumption of junk food, and maybe a cup of coffee or two? Let's gaze into the crystal ball:The unveiling of Richard's memorial something. Sorry to be a bummer. But Edward Herrmann died at the end of last year, and the Gilmore-verse will need to acknowledge that in a meaningful way. Richard can't be on a business trip or something; we need to get everyone together to grieve. That said, the rawness and immediacy of a funeral is a bit heavy, plus then the whole series has to be "how do you deal with your father's death?" Instead, it's a gathering...

Richard Hendricks can’t have nice things. It’s not that he doesn’t allow himself to have nice things, or even that he doesn’t want to have nice things, it is that he is almost karmically incapable of having nice things. Through either incredible worry or the incredible stupidity of others, Richard is never allowed to be an unqualified winner. Part of this is due to Richard being a dweeb who lacks confidence, but it is also due to the fact that Richard is the main character on a TV show, and thus can’t be top dog for very long. Stories of winners constantly winning become boring because watching deserved success is boring. It’s fun to watch a single arc of a story...

Richard Hendricks finally grows a pair, and Silicon Valley rewards him with the best episode of season two. Amy Aniobi’s script has everything I love about the show: physical humor, challenges for our underdog heroes, repeatable catchphrases, more self-sabotage from Dinesh, double-talk from Gavin, and some worthwhile evil committed by the patron saint of programmers, Gilfoyle. Hell, even my nemesis, Russ, contributes some big laughs. And it ends with one hell of a cliffhanger, too.With Pied Piper on the ropes after the End Frame/Homicide partnership, Richard has no choice but to fight for his company. The team heads to End Frame headquarters in San Francisco, and while waiting in a brick-walled office that looked suspiciously like one of my company’s old office locations, the receptionist mistakes Erlich for Pied Piper’s CEO. Before Richard can protest too much, Dinesh interrupts him with something even more important.

The character of Batman was first introduced in a series called "Detective Comics". There’s a reason for that. Batman is not just a guy with fancy gadgets who beats up criminals. Batman is a genius-level mind much like Sherlock Holmes, with an unparalleled skill in observation and deduction. He should be a master at both inductive and deductive reasoning. However, that aspect of the character has been sorely lacking in recent interpretations.
People love the Nolan Batman trilogy, especially The Dark Knight, which has become a sacred cow for many comic/super hero fans. However, people who aren’t familiar with Batman’s comic history as the world’s greatest detective would not likely even realize that Batman is a detective at all based on the Bale/Nolan films.

After last week’s episode, “Third Party Insourcing,” gave us our first glimpse of what Silicon Valley plays like when it’s slightly off (in what was an off-week for these recaps as well, thanks to screener issues), “Proof of Concept” had a bit more riding on it than previous entries, seeing as it’s the second last episode of the season. Unfortunately, it’s expressly because it’s the second last episode of the season that it winds up being less of a rebound opportunity, and more a handoff for whatever’s in store for next week’s final episode.
“Proof of Concept” may live or die in retrospect based on what that finale has to offer, as it’s not really clear which of the threads from tonight’s half-hour will carry over to the next. Pied Piper trying to recover from a disastrous presentation at Tech Crunch...

Remember the premiere of "Silicon Valley"? It was just April 21, so it's not as if you have to climb into the way back machine. Still, that first sharp-edged episode seems so far away after this week's episode, a faded memory of better, smarter times. It wasn't that this week's show was bad, per se. It followed traditional sitcom tropes, hit the expected marks, and fell neatly in step with any so-so sitcom you've seen on network TV. Too bad. I knew it was a bad sign when the show began with Dinesh and Gilfoyle resorting to the kind of fighting little kids do when they lack the vocabulary and maturity to manage anything else. Freaked out about Erlich driving him and Gilfoyle to a dicey neighborhood in search of a graffiti artist named Chewy, Gilfoyle resorted to silliness -- unlocking the car doors, locking Dinesh out of the car, yanking...

Let no one say Mike Judge doesn't have it in for The Man. As in "Office Space," the new HBO series "Silicon Valley" follows the trials of a group of under-appreciated ham-and-eggers hoping to break free of the bottom rung. Unlike "Office Space," the plan here is to do it honestly. Initially it looks like programmer Richard Hendricks (Thomas Middleditch) has big dreams but little to back them up. By day he works as a grunt for a thoroughly ridiculous (and Google-riffic) megacompany called Hooli. Some of the best jokes in the pilot come at Hooli's expense, and while a lot of the humor is tech company-specific, anyone who has worked for a massive corporate entity will feel a queasy sense of recognition. When Richard takes the cushy, company-run bus into work (a real-life perk for Google employees), riders must suffer through an annoyingly slick video plug for the company from ego-bloated founder Gavin Belson.

This review contains spoilers.
4.2 Resignation
‘When you see your kids remember they didn’t cost you anything’. He might have a tendency towards the sentimental, but Richard can’t half make a point when he wants to. He had, quite literally, a captive audience, but his statement about money stands. It’s a lesson that most of his fellow characters have yet to heed. It’s a natural result of the focus on gangsters, politicians and wannabes (sometimes all three in the same person) that money is the first thing reached for to fix things. It is, in so many cases, wholly inadequate. Perhaps they’d benefit from having their fingers trapped in a drawer for a bit.
For the most part, money remains the grease to everybody’s...

I recently saw an article that listed Richard Blaise as one of the most annoying reality contestants of the season. While I adore Richard for his creativity and root for him to win Top Chef, I can definitely see why people would see him as a downer.
It’s also because Richard seemed so energetic and humorous in Season 4, when he was a clear favorite and brimming with enthusiasm. While he tackles challenges with the same gusto this time around, he seems to be drowning in his own doubts and neuroses as the season progresses. I really feel for the poor guy because he so desperately wants to win that he’s just a total wreck and can’t decide if he’s confident or a ball of nerves!
On the flipside, Mike is just overflowing with confidence, having won a few challenges in a row; I can’t stand his stupid grins.

Five chefs remain – and one of them is Tiffany. Huh. Richard can’t believe Dale went home last week, neither can Tiffany and for that matter, color me stumped, too. What no one says (except for Tiffany) is that everyone was pretty sure she was packing her knives last week, as she’s seemed to be circling the drain for a while now. I’m not saying she isn’t talented, but some of her dishes have seemed, if not inedible, a little rough. At this stage in the competition, the bar has been raised awfully high and I’m just not sure she’s firing...

After he’s accidentally shipped to the other side of the country Bolt, the wonder dog on TV, must get back to California to save his master Penny. With the help of Mittens – the mafia alley cat – and Rhino – the brave hamster looking for adventure – Bolt heads out on this trip that seems bigger than even he can handle as he learns a little something about life that they don’t always teach you on TV.
19. Sex Drive (2008) (dir. Sean Anders)

Martin Freeman is to play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, it's been officially announced.
In a joint statement issued today by Peter Jackson, Warner Bros, New Line Cinema and MGM, it was confirmed that the 39-year-old British actor will star in the two-part adaptation of Tolkien's classic.
Freeman (right) initially had to decline the role because of filming the BBC's second series of Sherlock, in which he plays Dr Watson, but a way has since been found to fit both into his schedule.
"Despite the various rumours and speculation surrounding this role, there has only ever been one Bilbo Baggins for us," said Peter Jackson.
"There are a few times in your career when you come across an actor who you know was born to play a role, but that was the case as soon as I met Martin. He is intelligent, funny, surprising and brave - exactly like Bilbo...

Finally, it's here: our two-part Craig Horner interview. Yes, we've pinned down Horner, the star -- or, sadly, former star -- of Legend of the Seeker (TV), the syndicated fantasy series on which he shared the screen with Bridget Regan, Bruce Spence, and Tabrett Bethell. Horner had been on vacation, a long one, following the conclusion of filming on season two of the show, but we caught up with him by telephone somewhere in Australia, where he was out and about with a mate. Horner graciously and good-naturedly spent a half hour on the phone with us answering questions provided by you, the readers of TVStar.com. So, read on and enjoy part one, and be on the lookout for part two in the next day or so. In season two, we got to see Richard (Horner) as a more grown-up and self-confident character, just like in the Terry Goodkind books.

Everybody may love Hugo... but did every Lost fan love this week's episode?
What did you think of the appearances of Libby and Michael? The revelation about the whispers in the jungle? The fateful decision of Desmond to close the hour?
Our staff has a lot to say about all these developments, as usual, and we've gathered for another edition of the Lost Round Table in order to analyze as much as possible. Reader feedback is encouraged on these questions and answers...
Why did Sideways Desmond run over Sideways Locke?
M.L. House: Locke's contentment in the sideways world throws a wrench into Desmond's mission to meld the two universes together. It's been made clear by various sides that all castaways must be on board for things to be accomplished - live together, die alone, remember? Therefore, Desmond was shaking up Locke's happy existence in order to force the wheelchair-bound teacher into an epiphany.

You hear that sound? That was the Lost writers grinding the show to a hault after their full-tilt gallop out of the gate last week.
Understandably, I expected a slower pace and more character accentuation after the event and reveal of the premiere, but last night’s episode, What Kate Does, seemed to be entirely too tranquil. Pretty much every question I posed after last week’s episode, with the notable exception of one, remains unanswered and there was very little forward plot movement. On a more troubling note the show seems hell-bent on rehashing the tired romantic drama that swamped season 3 back in 2006. We only have a handful of eps left here people. Don’t waste them.
Still, it wasn’t a poorly written episode, or one without its own interesting highlights. It’s just that after priming us for a cataclysmic war of sorts, and introducing enough key players–Smokey wearing his Locke-et,...

Appearing in a Ft. Collins, Colo., courtroom Friday, Richard and Mayumi Heene - the parents of "Balloon Boy" Falcon Heene - pled guilty to charges related to the Oct. 15 hoax involving Falcon's fake "flight" aboard a saucer-shaped balloon. "This whole deal is designed to keep the family together," says Richard's attorney David Lane. The couple's kids - Falcon, 6, Bradford, 10, and Ryo, 8 - "seem like happy, well-adjusted kids," says Lane. "[They have] huddled together as a family. These are well cared for and well-loved kids." Lane says the children would have been most traumatized if "they would have seen their parents taken away in cuffs.

They're an unusual family at the center of a bizarre story: Their UFO-looking helium balloon soared from their home at the same time their 6-year-old son disappeared - with the boy later found safely at home after a nationally televised air-and-ground search. So who are the Heenes of Fort Collins, Colo.? Reality TV fans may remember Richard and wife Mayumi from the ABC show Wife Swap. During their episode, which aired on the show's premiere in October 2008, they switched with the Martels, a Connecticut family with a childproofing business. The family's segment proved so popular that viewers voted them back...
