…Which is a big deal to us because one of its creator/writer/showrunner/stars, a certain Curtis J. Gwinn, is a buddy of the boss’s. So, hey, how about we all watch?
Premiere party, anybody? We’re definitely up for it.

Hey, ADULT SWIM, How About Doing This as a Show? Huh? Huh?
We know damn well ADULT SWIM can’t buy this cartoon for a jactillion and one legal reasons, but we always wondered what it would be like to be blissfully ignorant innocent of such considerations and therefore having no problem blithely bugging our corporate overseers gatekeepers. (Turns out to be no biggie either way.)
This is just the tip of the iceberg at Joel Watson’s great site.
Doomed Film of the Day: ROBOT AND FRANK
We could just as easily headlined this: “What? You Thought Movie Marketing Mavens Knew What They Were Doing?” Because let’s face it, no matter how good this film about the deepening buddy relationship between a man suffering from Alzheimer’s and his robot caregiver may be – and the trailer below makes it look pretty darn cute – who in their right mind ,i.e., one that doesn’t suffer from Alzheimer’s, wants to see a film about someone who does?
Especially one starring Frank Langella, who may be the darling of New York film critics (or so we seem to recall – our own memories may not be all that swell), but who, let’s face it, isn’t about to bring anybody’s seat into a theater. Co-star Susan Sarandon isn’t going to help either because we don’t care how free-spirited she’s shown herself to be over the years, there’s just too many years there…although our grandfather’s might dig her, who knows?
More Memos from Nick Fury
Remember the Nick Fury/S.H.I.E.L.D.. memo LB “discovered” on his desk last week? We still don’t know the complete truth behind the “Memos From Fury” phenomenon, but it’s so much for real that we have fantasies about being whomever started it.
Or shoving said starter off the helicarrier deck and replacing him/her.
