Fat Guy Stuck in the Labyrinth

Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet parodies Jim Henson/David Bowe's The Labyrinth and it is hilarious. I thought it would could half-ass in the parody but it kept going into it, it could have done cheap gay jokes but they did good. Also, with the puppets and the songs. They had bad puppets, I don't they were making fun of Henson's puppets but more making fun of their own cheapness. I am trying to figure out with one are the favorite dancers... the purple unicorn guy or the yellow lizard. I cant believe it but they even parodied the mirrorball dancing scene and put Gamberling in a dress and makeup. I am not crazy about this show Fat Guy but this episode was pretty funny and good. Thank god they didn't have the big brown good heart monster or the troll. Oh and of course Gamberling smashed the mirror and heh heh they found the warehouse of the set.

Disaster Movie: More of a Disaster than Disaster Movies

By watching the trailer, you can't tell what exactly is the 'Disaster' in Disaster Movie they are talking about. Supposedly, I guess that the movie is suppose to be based on those Disaster movies like Day After Tomorrow, Volcano, Earthquake, etc. But in the trailer, it just looks like random spoofs of every other movie this summer such as the Hulk, Ironman, Hellboy, Sex and the City movie, etc. It mostly looks like The Crista Flanagan Movie. Also they make fun of Amy Winehouse, while she is also in the movie??! What a good sport. She plays Britney, a salesclerk, and "Evolet." Kimberly Kardashian is also in the movie.

Raising the Bar

TNT has a new series coming along called "Raising the Bar" starring Jane Kaczmerek, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Gloria Reuben. I like Gosselaar, glad he is getting work, and I like guys with long hair, but if he is head-lining his first series, I think they should have let him go with shorter hair. I guess hair doesn't matter. Writing and acting should be enough. Oh wait, hair does matter on television. Remember "Felicity"?

What an interesting mix, Jane Kaczmerek and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. And Jane as a judge? She has played one before.... on "The Simpsons!" Also in the cast, Whedonite Jaime August Richards ("Angel"), I am glad he is getting work. He has played a lawyer before on "Angel" and "Conviction." Let's see how this goes.

Alice Upside Down--why didn't advertise Luke Perry

I just saw a commercial for this Straight-to-DVD movie Alice Upside Down, that according to a IMDB review is a dismal movie. It is the first starring role for dancer/actress Alyson Stoner, who has been in Cheaper By The Dozen, "Camp Rock" and the Missy Elliott video "Work It." So the commercial advertises Alyson Stoner and Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical"). Luke Perry plays his dad but he is not advertised. It is probably because the commercials is on ABC Family and that is their audience. Or the real reason is... the movie sucks and they don't want to embarrass Luke Perry any further.

Up next for the 15 year-old is The Alyson Stoner Project written and directed by fellow child actor Kevin Schmidt.

British MultiGrain Cheerios "Americanized"

This commercial is the American-version but the original is with British actors. In this version, their voices were dubbed over by American actors and their cereal box was photoshopped to the American style of the box. In Canada, they see the real version but sometimes also see the American version. One believes this is done to achieve 'familiarity' with Americans, but there have been commercials with British actors before but i guess advertisers see it if the product applies for it like Grey poupon.

Watchmen Mother and Daughter bond

SCI-FI.com Watchmen article:

Carla Gugino and Malin Akerman, who play mother-and-daughter superheroes in Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie, told SCI FI Wire that they hung out off screen to work out the dynamics of their on-screen relationship--which was especially important, since the two actors' ages are really only a few years apart.

"We probably had about three weeks to sort of just hang out together and get to know each other, and we definitely just got along right away," Akerman said in a group interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego last weekend. "Like [Gugino] said, we have a lot of similarities in our lives and in our families that sort of brought us even closer. So we could relate these characters to things that have happened in our lives and sharing those with each other so that we knew when we were doing our scenes where that was coming from."

Akerman plays Laurie Juspeczyk, the daughter of Gugino's 1940s superhero Sally Jupiter (aka Silk Spectre). In the alternate-history 1985 timeframe of the film's story, which is based on Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel, Laurie is the twentysomething daughter of Sally, who is in her 70s, and she has taken up the mantle of the Silk Spectre at her mother's urging.

Gugino, who is not yet 40, was surprised when Snyder approached her to play the elder woman.

"When Zack first said, 'I would love to talk to you about playing this character,' I thought, 'Well, this sounds amazing, but in the graphic novel, especially, there's so much more of Sally Jupiter [as an] older [woman] than there is [in her youth]," Gugino said. "We have the flashback to the rape and a couple of [other] brief moments, but [not much else]. ... So I thought, 'That's interesting. I would think he'd want a much older actress,' And, ultimately, ... in a way sort of showing the passage of time and how we come from the '40s to the '80s, he ended up adding in a lot more images of her as a young woman. ... I think you need to see Sally Jupiter shine in her own right so that you can understand why she tries to impose that on Laurie."

Gugino did wind up artificially aged for her scenes as the aged Sally. "I was in full prosthetics when we were doing this," she said. "Otherwise, it never would have worked."

Beyond their similarity in age, the two actresses said they had an emotional bond that worked to their advantage when playing mother and daughter. "It was a really natural sort of connection for us in our lives," Gugino said.

Gugino added: "There wasn't that much screen time to really establish that relationship, either, but I think any daughter [would say] that their relationship with their mother [is] complicated on some level, probably like any son and their father. ... I mean it's just an intense, complex thing. So it was great to be able to have the chance for us to talk about all of those elements in our own lives, because it does bring things to light." Watchmen is set to open on March 6, 2009. --Patrick Lee, News Editor
