This has nothing to do with anything, except that I found it while searching for "late".

Sorry, folks. Our already late review of The King’s Speech will be a little bit later. But look for it tomorrow!

What’s that you say? Your old pal Logan so called the fact that Josh Holloway is playing a mysterious cowboy on the May 5th Community finale?  That’s right, I did.  And as proof, here’s a little teaser for you ladies:

TV Guide has more info, the most interesting news being that Josh is huge pals with Chevy and couldn’t wait to work with him again.  Of course, I already knew this, however, because most people seem to be under the impression that Chevy is some sort of asshole that nobody likes, I’m sure they’ll find it shocking.

Listen.  I like horror movies. I like Daniel Radcliffe in goofy period clothes.  I like black women.  So shouldn’t this be the best movie ever made?

Only one season to go!  Keep it up, Lionsgate!

REVIEWED: Scream 4. That’s…kind of it. We actually stay on topic the whole show!

Know what? I hate this show. That's right, I said it.

Since when did not liking Glee apparently make you homophobic?  Can’t we just not like Glee because it’s not a good show?  I’m sure you heard about the whole Victoria Jackson comment a few weeks back, but it now seems that one of my favorite authors, Bret Easton Ellis, is joining her.  E! is reporting that Ellis tweeted the following last week:

I like the idea of Glee but why is it that every time I watch an episode I feel like I’ve stepped into a puddle of HIV?

Yeah yeah.  Think what you will, but here’s the deal: It doesn’t matter how you say it, you can’t say anything bad about Glee.  In fact, if you’re a celebrity who wants some free press, all you really need to do is say anything remotely insulting about Glee.  With this in mind, I’ve prepared the following statement which is sure to get me written up in all the supermarket mags!  Hang on, ‘cos here we go!  Ahem…

Hi, I’m Logan Lee of www.criticalend.com.  That’s one word.  Guess what?  I can’t stand Glee!  Boy howdy what a terrible show!  Watching Glee reminds me of the time that I almost drank a gallon of AIDS.  For what it’s worth, I actually thought it was a bottle of Berry Blast PowerAde, but than I realized that the word “power” was no where to be found on the label, and also that the “Ade” in “PowerAde” is spelled different.  Also, it wasn’t blue which should have been the most noticeable difference.  AIDS is more of a peach color, I think.  Whatever the case may be, it reminded me of watching Glee, a show that I don’t like watching.  Oh!  Another thing that reminds me of Glee is the time when I was eight and I called a black kid a “jerk” on the playground.  Mind you, it had nothing to do with the fact that he was black, but because he was playing Leonardo, my favorite Ninja Turtle, leaving me to be Raphael, who nobody wanted to be.  What a jerk, right?  Anyway, that name once again is Logan Lee.  Did you get all of that?  Good.  Well, I’m off to rehab!

As a casual Star Trek fan, I started watching this SFW trailer for the porn parody out of mild interest. I did not expect to actually be sucked in by the PLOT of a porn. And if you ignore the goofy facial hair and budget Klingon makeup, the production values are actually crazy high! Like, higher than some of the early episodes of the show it’s mimicking. The team was clearly full of Trekkies who put a lot of (hot, steamy) love into their work.

And you’re telling me they get naked too? I AM SO THERE.

No podcast today, folks, but check back next Wednesday for our extensive look at the Scream series, including Scream 4. Until then, let’s have a look at some Britishy trailers, starting with Dan Radcliffe in ghost story The Woman in Black.

Obviously it’s a teaser, so there’s not much to see. But I hear great things about the book so my hopes are high. Just like they are for the new season (or “series”) of Doctor Who.

Can’t wait!

Ryan first broke the news of the goofy new Wonder Woman costume here.  It seems that enough online nerds complained that the producers realized it was time for a last minute fix.  Hence, the change:

 

So, what’s new exactly?  As you can tell by her face, she’s now clearly on the rag.

Stick with this, folks. It’s worth it.

I haven’t really looked into this too much, but Zap2it.com, a website which I wouldn’t normally frequent due to it’s insane amount of pop-ups, is reporting that the upcoming Community paintball 2-part finale is going to be an homage to the Italian western. 

Allow me to share the same thought about this episode that I shared a few weeks back: Yawn.

It was already nearing my sleepy time when I read they were doing another paintball episode, but to now hear that it’s going to pay tribute to spaghetti westerns is nearly the equivalent of popping some Ambien. Is this not a genre that has been parodied to death already? 

I still love the show and think it’s one of the best on TV, but at some point in season 2 they lost track of developing their characters and decided to focus more on outrageous plots.  Does anybody recall that Shirley was a business major or that Annie’s life plan was to transfer to a University after two years? If so, maybe you should be writing for Community.

The finale airs on May 12th.

REVIEWED: Source Code. This episode missed the train. But the next one’s in eight minutes. PLUS: BevCast 2.0.
