Emotional and Beautiful Trailer for New Studio Ghibli Film 

4/16/2015

When Marnie was There (based on a book of the same name) looks like it is going to be a gorgeous coming of age picture with something supernatural going on - and I like it.

What I don't like is that this may be Studio Ghibli's last feature film - at least for a while...

Geek Trivia. Hot Nerd Men. Booze.

I thought that would get your attention...

SyFy channel has just green lit 'Geeks Who Drink' - a trivia based game show to be hosted by one of my very favorite nerds, Zachary Levi (Chuck, Tangled, Thor: The Dark World).
The show is based on the popular bar trivia game of the same name. Levi describes it as:
We want to keep the heart of Geeks Who Drink--the pub circuit--very pure. But we’re also trying to translate that to television, and trying to find ways to do that that are very organic.

The contestants will definitely be drinking.  But it’s gonna be very responsible. We don’t want anyone getting smashed on television. It’s similar to Hollywood Game Night in that regard. It’s a relaxed format.
Picture
The best part is, each of the two regular geek teams will have a celebrity Captain - and Zac has A LOT of famous friends from his Nerd HQ con enterprises...
I want fan-favorites that would blow people’s minds—and I want to let people to see them in a fun and simultaneously challenging situation. The Joss Whedons of the world, the William Shatners. Nathan Fillion, Seth Green, Matt Smith, a lot of my friends in this world—anyone that fans would tune in and say, “I’m glad I got to see that side of that person.”
The show is set to premiere just after SDCC on July 16th. I, for one will be tuning in.

I know we haven't been talking much about Agents of SHIELD lately, but I for one have been loving it. 

My favorite character is May, and in tonight's episode "Melinda," we finally get some back story on why she hates being called the Calvary!

The CW knows its audience and gives us a gift in this 'what if' clip that is a ton of fun...
 Like we needed a bigger reason to be amped-up for the final episodes of the season of The Flash (tonight at 8pm) and Arrow (tomorrow at 8pm)! Bring it on!

Gotham - Beasts of Prey

Oh, Gotham, how I have missed you!  And tonight's episode absolutely did not disappoint.
Fish Mooney is still stranded on the mysterious island of The Dollmaker (Dr. Dulmacher, whatever), but she is actively plotting her escape - and Dulmacher's demise.  It looks like she's on the verge of being caught more than once, but I knew she had a deeper plan than she was letting on; and sure enough, by the end of the episode she's flying away on a helicopter with her faithful few - and a nasty gunshot to boot.
Picture
Back at the GCPD, Gordon is riding high, enjoying his new position of authority - and is all to happy to accept what appears to be the adulation of a beat cop who wants him to look into an unsolved murder.  Too late, Bullock figures out they are tracking a serial murderer who has sworn vengeance on any member of the police force who investigates him.  

Ladies and gentlemen, there's a new bad boy in town - meet The Ogre. 
Picture
There are only three episodes left in this season, and I have the feeling we'll be seeing a lot of this fellow - because, of course, Gordon will not back down, even when he learns that Loeb has set him up.  He angrily confronts Loeb, and lets him know he will be gunning for the Commissioner once he has taken care of The Ogre.
Picture
Penguin has plans of his own.  His attempts to take over a seemingly minor business are rebuffed, until he agrees to help get the owner's granddaughter out of the clutches of a seedy guitar player - which he does, with his usual ruthlessness.  When his henchman asks why he cares about such a minor place, Penguin offers up a creepy smile and says this is the place where he'll kill Maroni.

In fact, it seems everyone is out for vengeance tonight - Alfred is out of the hospital, but apparently not out of the woods.  His plans to go after the man who attacked him are sidetracked when he begins bleeding, but Bruce learns that he suspects his former friend will spend a few days in a shooting gallery before leaving town.  I did have to laugh when Bruce wasted a day searching gun ranges before Selina came to his aid and educated him in the ways of street life. 

Picture
The shooting gallery outing proves educational in more ways than one - Bruce learns who is after him, and why.  He also learns that sometimes the only way to deal with dark people is to use dark methods - when the addict threatens to out him to his source, Selina helps him out a window and he falls to his death.
So once again, Gotham leaves us hanging.  Can Fish return to Gotham?  Will Penguin's move on Maroni be successful?  Who will be The Ogre's next victim?

Tune in next week!

It's been eleven years since Lost arrived on our televisions to enamor and confuse us, and five years since we bade it farewell - but today is the day Lost fans have been waiting for!  
The infamous numbers that changed so many lives - 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42 - align exactly on April 8, 2015, at 16:23:42 - military time for 23 minutes and 42 seconds past four o'clock pm.  
East Coast readers, did you experience anything strange and/or life-altering at that exact moment?  West Coast readers, get ready for something big!  Or not, because, you know, fiction...
Maybe we'll binge watch some Lost tonight in memory of the show that strung us along for years...
