VINCE VAUGHN bringing ‘THE BRADY BUNCH’ back to TV. Two sucky entities collide.

Vince Vaughn, that guy who says those things that aren’t really funny anymore, is dragging up the lifeless corpse of an old television favorite back into the idiot box. I’d say if there is a God this won’t be a success, but maybe that dude just loves girls getting hit in the nose with footballs. Who knows.

‘DEXTER’ SEASON 7 TRAILER: Revelations & His Usual Emo Whining

All things considered, I’m excited for this seventh season of Dexter. The terrible sixth season ended in a manner that suggested, Jesus Christ wait for it, they may actually be taking the show somewhere. With only what, two? seasons left, hopefully they’ll begin playing for keeps.

The BAFTA Awards for Television nominees are announced. This post is mostly about Benedict Cumberbatch.

Ah yes, the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards for Television are coming up. For those of us who are complete and total anglophiles, the list of nominees dropped today, much to my delight and suspicion. Why suspicion? Well, since 2005, I’ve a vested interest in the classier cousin of our Emmy.

You see, Benedict Cumberbatch was nominated for a BAFTA for  Hawking in 2005. And lost. Try and imagine senior-in-high-school me flipping tables and ripping pages out of library books in my rage. I didn’t actually do any of that, but I seriously considered it. Surely, I thought to myself, they won’t make that mistake again. His next nomination was for  Small Island, for Best Supporting Actor. And he lost.  His next was for Sherlock.  And he lost. His next was for film, for Best Supporting Actor in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.  And he lost. If he loses this time, you’ll probably end up seeing my lovely face on TV. On the 11 o’clock news. When I’m in a bell tower surrounded by a lot of guns and ammo.

For the list of nominations, hit the jump!

DAVID CRONENBERG To Direct TV Series Pilot ‘KNIFEMAN’ With Sam Raimi Producing

I have been going goddamn insane for David Cronenberg lately. Like waking up from some sort of stasis with a rapturous desire to catch-up on It All, I’ve been crushing his backlog. So this news comes at a point where just the idea has a bit of the ole loins-writhing kicking into action.
