Thirty years ago, a TV revolution began when HBO went up on satellite. To commemorate this event, CableWorld magazine has selected what its editors feels are the top 50 satellite-delivered shows, televised events and moments of the past 30 years. And guess who landed in the number 49 spot?
In the “Yes, we know” department: We have received a number of emails from folks who saw the movie The 40-Year-Old Virgin. It seems that the title character has many movie posters on the walls of his home, one of which is a poster for MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE. Whether that’s writer/director Judd Apatow’s little joke–he worked on Freaks and Geeks with Josh, Trace and Joel–we’re not sure…
Over at msnbc.com, columinist Mary Beth Ellis names her choice of “10 Sexy Movie Men.” Among the usual mentions of Hugh Jackman and Viggo Mortensen, she also includes a certain Michael J. Nelson, who she says has “the sexiest back of the head in all of cinema.” She also gives him extra props for such powers as “making Patrick Swayze films safe again for you and me.” You can read the article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9066263
Thanks to Amy Tenominin for the tip! If you’re into podcasting, then you might have heard of The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd.

Look for episode numbers 311 and 312 to be posted at http://www.DoctorFloyd.com on Oct. 9th and 16th.
While you’re online, swing by the MST3K Review web site for two new interviews with Bill Corbett and the Sklar brothers, hosts of ESPN Classic’s Cheap Seats. You can read Bill’s interview at: The Sklar interview can be found at: On Monday, August 8, Robert S. Fiveson and Myrl A. Schreibman, producers of PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR (seen in episode 811) filed suit in New York claiming DreamWorks and Warner Bros. cribbed their movie for The Island. In addition to unspecified financial compensation, Fiveson and Schreibman want The Island withdrawn from theaters and any further release barred, reports Daily Variety.
The copyright infringement suit lists 90 instances where the movies are identical. DreamWorks released a statement Tuesday saying, “‘The Island’ does not infringe on anyone’s copyrights.” Warner said it does not comment on pending litigation. |
