Jack Bauer...Movie Star?

From TV Guide online:

TIME CHECK: Execs at Fox's 24 are thinking about transporting Jack Bauer to the big screen. Jon Cassar, one of the show's producer/directors, told the Calgary Sun that a 24 movie has been discussed, but added that "it could still be two years from now, so it's far too early to say." Should the project pan out, Cassar said it would not follow the show's real-time format entirely. "The first hour will not be in real time," he said. "But then something big will happen and real time will kick in." As will Chloe's inner Terminator.

Could be cool....a logistical nightmare...but cool. Even so - don't really have any desire to see Chloe and her various lemon face's on the big screen.

I'm still waiting patiently for the next X-Files movie...Gillian Anderson...now that's more like it!

Are we done yet?

Here's a page from the "Please can we just let it go" file.....Looks like Governor Jeb has his nose in the middle of a mess yet again...

The autopsy findings weren't enough to put this thing to bed?? Enough already!

Geesh.

TV Talk

Entourage. This incredibly entertaining series has picked up right where it left off - kicking ass and taking names. The dialogue is sharp and Jeremy Piven steals every scene that he is in. If you aren't already on the bandwagon you need to get off your ass and go change the channel....

The 4400. After a phenomenal run last year my expectations were really high for the 2nd season. So far things have started off a little slow. It's still worth the time and effort if only to find out who the little baby is going to take out next.

Dead Zone. This show continues to be extremely good TV. As I was watching the season premiere I commented to my wife that this show was becoming very X-File-ish (good stand alone stories from week to week with a really good overall "mythology" story). Sean Patrick Flanery's Greg Stillson is one of the best characters on TV. Looking forward to the coming season.

Side notes: Caught an episode of Lisa Kudrow's new show on HBO - The Comeback. Yikes is that thing all over the place. Won't be wasting any VHS tape on that one....RESCUE ME returns with its 2nd season premiere this tuesday night, June 21 at 10pm on FX. Be there or be square....Last but certainly not least, SCI-Fi channel's break out hit BATTLESTAR GALACTICA returns to the airwaves on July 15th. I can hardly wait.

But what about 24 I hear you cry......nothing new to report on that front. I'm still working on Season 4 recaps to figure out the best way to present them here....with any luck I'll have that squared away soon. I'm on the lookout for snippets of info and will post them immediately upon discovery.

SH-SH-SHakin....

4 earthquakes in one week (and a Tsunami warning to boot) have renewed the fears that California is on its way into the ocean. I hate to tug on Superman's cape and spit into the wind here but its not like we have all spent the week rocking and rolling to work. Talk to me after the next couple of "big one's" hit (if the phones are still working) and we'll discuss the potential of oceanfront property in Bakersfield....besides I'll take an earthquake any day over a tornado....the idea of something appearing out of nowhere and taking my house 1/2 a mile away really doesn't appeal to me at all. What a surprise.

Whoa! What's that?.......oh just the 1pm train......

Series Premieres

Just a quick reminder of a few upcoming series premieres.

Entourage - Sunday, June 5th at 9pm (HBO)
The 4400 - Sunday, June 5th at 9pm (USA)
Dead Zone - Sunday, June 12th at 10pm (USA)

Set your VCR, DVR or TiVO and enjoy!

Also - as a bonus it looks like ABC is replaying Lost on wednesday nights at 10pm. Unfortunately the first episode was last night but if you jump on board now you'll get to see quite an adventure over the summer.

For anyone out there who might be waiting - the recap of the Lost season finale should be up soon. I'm still trying to get all of the 24 information squared away for presentation....but that's my problem not yours.

Thanks for stopping by...
