How about no.
Michael Cera has expressed a desire to be in the potential Ghostbusters sequel that's been rumored to be happening. I say, what about, instead of that he just agree to do the Arrested Development movie. I mean, he's just playing a variation of George-Michael in everything anyway.
Also: How about no to this Ghostbusters thing? Can't we just leave well enough alone?
Too much? I think yes.
Hey, I love Lost as much as the next girl, but this tattoo of Shannon screaming in the pilot episode takes it to Star Wars/Star Trek levels of love.

Leap Year trailer
Video: Exclusive: 'Leap Year' Trailer
Sure, it looks like a typical rom-com, and it probably is, but Amy Adams and Matthew Goode are both completely irresistible. And I like rom-coms.

Clash of the Titans trailer
I'll most likely wait for DVD, even though it stars one of my favorite new hotties, Sam Worthington.
It's as good as I'd hoped
I was lucky enough to hear Kris Allen's debut album early thanks to a friend who got an advance copy, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. There aren't any surprises; it's exactly what you'd expect. But the funny thing is: that isn't a negative. Kris's voice is just as lovely as it was on American Idol and his songs are catchy. I think he's going to have a huge career.
Salt trailer
With Tom Cruise this would've been a typical Tom Cruise movie. So glad it was recast to fit Angelina Jolie. She's so much better.
Prince of Persia trailer
I don't care that no one in this movie is actually Persian. It's hot as balls Jake Gyllenhaal and Pirates of the Caribbean type silly, unrealistic, patented Bruckheimer action. I'm there.

I still don't get it
Don't ask me why James Franco is going to be on General Hospital. I read somewhere that he wants to be versed in all aspects of his "craft" or whatever. He's a weird dude, is what it comes down to. Since when do Oscar nominees do guest stints on soaps?
And sure, I'll check it out when it airs. He's a fantastic actor, and I wonder how true he'll play his role (which has been kept under such tight wraps that even Soap Opera Magazine doesn't know what it is) (and I know that because my mom told me). Wouldn't it be awesome if he played it super over the top and cheesy? I mean, most of the performances on those shows are played that way to a certain extent anyway, right? I haven't watched soaps since I was in high school and Marlena was possessed by the Devil on Days. That was my limit of absurdity.
Also, he looks SMOKIN' HOT in the picture released today, so that'll get me to tune in at the very least.
WATCH SOUTHLAND
OMG, this is the best news I've read all week (and yeah, it's only Tuesday, but go with me on this). TNT has agreed to air the 13 Season One episodes of Southland, and the 6 existing Season 2 episodes that NBC didn't even bother to try to get on the air before canceling the show last month. In addition to that, TNT will be adding in extra footage to the Season 1 eps, which is awesome.
If you didn't watch Southland last year before NBC executives lost their minds and cut all of their 10 PM programming for Jay fucking Leno, you should definitely check it out on TNT. The show is raw and powerful with a phenomenally talented cast. It's not your average cop show - I generally don't like cop shows - but it's also not glitzy or overly stylized. Seriously, give it a shot.
And if all things go well on TNT, maybe they'll pick the show up permanently. It should match well with the dramas they already have, and clearly they like cop shows - Saving Grace, The Closer, Dark Blue...
That's FOUR zeroes after that one.
Joss Whedon continues to be the most awesome person in Hollywood.
And for the record, I think Joss would do a fabulous job with the Terminator franchise if given the chance. Just sayin'.
An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners. From a Very Important Hollywood MogulFrom here.
Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.
No, you didn't miscount. That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one. That's to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played. Well, here's what I have to say to Nikki Finke: you are a fine journalist and please don't ever notice me. The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture -- and my pretend play -- as any I can think of. It's far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:
1) Terminator... of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far... back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? "Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!" RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he's a cyborg and he doesn't give a s#&% about the ring -- it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he's doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).
2) More Glau. Hey. There's a reason they're called "Summer" movies.
3) Can you say... musical? Well don't. Even I know that's an awful idea.
4) Christian Bale's John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)
5) More porn. John Connor never told Kyle Reese this, but his main objective in going to the past was to get some. What if there's a lot of future-babies that have to be made? Cue wah-wah pedal guitar -- and dollar signs!
6) The movies will stop getting less cool.
Okay. There's more -- this brain don't quit! (though it has occasionally been fired) -- but I think you get my drift. I really believe the Terminator franchise has only begun to plumb the depths of questioning the human condition during awesome stunts, and I'd like to shepherd it through the next phase. The money is there, but more importantly, the heart is there. But more importantly, money. Think about it. End this bloody bidding war before it begins, and put the Terminator in the hands of someone who watched the first one more than any other movie in college, including "Song of Norway" (no current franchise offer). Sincerely, Joss Whedon.
And for the record, I think Joss would do a fabulous job with the Terminator franchise if given the chance. Just sayin'.

Lisa Kudrow is going to be guest starring on Cougar Town, holding the title of the first former Friends co-star to be on Courteney's new show. My fingers are crossed for Matthew Perry next.

Finally, Dominic Monaghan!
I knew it'd be a few episodes in before Dom showed up on FlashForward, but I didn't realize he'd be getting the total star treatment! "Next week, Dominic Monaghan joins the cast"!!! I'm so excited that he's got enough clout as an actor now that the network is focusing on him. Our little hobbit all grows up.

Star Trek Gag Reel
You know what I haven't gushed about in a while? Star Trek, the Star Trek cast, and/or Chris Pine. So, to make up for that, here's the gag reel from the upcoming DVD. Which, incidentally, comes out on my birthday. It's like JJ knew and wanted to give me a gift.

Dollhouse PSA
Last season, pretty much as soon as Dollhouse premiered, the fans whipped themselves into a frenzy that the show was going to be canceled. And, while I don't begrudge their fears that Fox would do to this Whedon show what they did to Firefly, there wasn't all that much reason for the panic last year.
This year is a whole different story. The ratings aren't good, and there's actual talk that Fox will be pulling the show. It doesn't help that they've continued to leave it on Fridays at 9PM, notoriously a bad time for TV shows. I've been saying since last year that they should pair it with Fringe, which would be a nice, creepy night of Sci-Fi TV for us. But that makes sense, and making sense doesn't always go hand in hand with being a television executive.
Anyway, there are ways we can help. And by we, I mean you. Any of you that aren't watching Dollhouse, I'm asking you to give it a try. If you can't watch it live on Friday night, then you can download it from iTunes or Amazon. If you don't want to pay - and why would you, if you're not currently a fan of the show? - then you can watch it for free at Hulu. While these methods aren't going to raise those pesky ratings numbers in that antiquated and practically irrelevant system, they are going to show that people are making an effort to watch the show.
It's a great show, and deserves a chance to come into its own. Joss Whedon is a brilliant man with a mind so creative he's generally ahead of the curve as far as what's cool and what people want to see. Eventually everyone catches up. I hear motherfucking Fox is actually considering some space western show. Hmm. Sounds familiar. Like something they "didn't get" and canceled years ago.

Emmy fashion roundup
I'll be honest, there weren't a lot of dresses that excited, impressed or really interested me last night. Everything was pretty safe, and while some were beautiful - yes, the Dior that Blake Lively wore was pretty and fit her perfectly - I was mostly bored. These are the ones I liked most:
Drew's dress reminds me of the one the Penelope Cruz wore to the Oscars a couple years ago, which isn't a bad thing. She looks lovely.
Yes, it's black, and yes, it's not mind-blowing, but Alyson looks so pretty in it that it won me over. Maybe I'm biased because I like her so much.
Everyone's been raving about Christina's dress, which I like for the color, but I'm not loving the top.
Yes, it's kinda figure state-y. But that doesn't mean it's not pretty. Marchesa might be my favorite designer.
Now, for other stuff.
Somehow the director of the show managed to not get this moment on screen: Tina Fey fulfilling her promise to Bob Newhart to kiss him like Adrian Brody kissed Halle Berry when he won his Oscar if 30 Rock won.
Who the fuck is this girl? I love Obama as much as the next girl, but come on. This is too much.

Kris Allen's first single
...not counting that one that he had to release that Kara wrote. That song was crap. This one's good. It's also not his alone. The Script also released it, and they sound pretty much exactly the same.
That notwithstanding, I like it. Kris' voice is lovely, and I'm really excited about his album.

The only real thing worth seeing last night
Much as I love 30 Rock and Ricky Gervais, as much as I think Mad Men is a good show, as awesome as everyone involved with The Daily Show are, as fun as it was to see Seth MacFarlane in a tux, and even as I grudgingly admit that Two and a Half Men is funnier than I expected it to be (Jon Cryer, I'm sorry, you're not better than NPH), the only award that went to something I actually wanted it to go to was Grey Gardens winning best Made for Television Movie. NPH was fabulous, as expected, and I think he handled not winning with grace disguised as bitterness.
However, the only reason the show was actually good was because of this:

Yeah, it happened last week...
...but I just now came across a youtube video of Joss Whedon's acceptance speech for the Emmy he (and the other fabulous Whedons) won for Dr. Horrible.
Short, sweet, perfection. Just like the web-series.
Also, in current and related Emmy news: Ausiello is saying he's been told Neil Patrick Harris will do a Dr. Horrible musical number sometime during tomorrow's telecast. Oh. My. God. Please let that be true.

In anticipation of the final season
It's still months before the next and final season of Lost begins, but that doesn't mean we can't be anxious and excited about it, right? In honor of the end of an era, sixteen artists have been commissioned to make Lost-related posters, and based on the first four, it's a stroke (no pun intended) of marketing genius. These two are my favorites so far (and if I had an extra $50 lying around just aching to be spent on something I'd purchase the first one right now). I can't wait to see what else the artists come up with.
See all four here. Check back to the site for the final twelve.

The Men Who Stare at Goats trailer
Nothing I've read about this movie said it was going to be a comedy.
It looks really funny. I love when Clooney is goofy. And it's always nice to see Ewan McGregor in ANYTHING.

Best news of the day!
It's official! Summer Glau will be joining the cast of Dollhouse! It's a recurring role, but we all know that recurring can lead to permanent if the story's right, especially in the Whedonverse. Look at Spike, Anya, Wesley and Tara. Or, even recurring that continues throughout seasons, like Darla, Drusilla, Faith, Andrew, Lindsay, Lilah...
So exciting! This is the ONLY reason I'm ok with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles getting canceled.
Speaking of Dollhouse, here's a great, though spoiler-filled, article about the upcoming season.
