Would You Watch The Mortal Instruments TV Show?

The Hollywood Reporter announced that The Mortal Instruments will be renewed not as a movie sequel, but as a TV show (Image Source) So the question is: Would you watch The Mortal Instruments as a TV show? Our answer: Yes. Yes, we most certainly would. If Stargate: SG1 has proven anything, it’s that a TV series following a movie can actually out-do the movie itself. If Game of Thrones has proven anything, it’s that a book series translates better to the small screen rather than…

Moffat Is Already Making Us Cringe For Doctor Who

Does Steven Moffat go to bed grinning as he falls asleep, or is he afraid to blink? Not because of Angels, but because of Whovians? If you haven’t read Entertainment Weekly’s First Look article about the upcoming release of Doctor Who, take a moment to check it out, and then come back to us and let’s process these feelings. If you just read the article, that second-to-last sentence is probably resounding with you: Both the 50th-anniversary special and the Christmas episode left some fans a…

Why July 8th Was A Good Day on Facebook

For those who tuned in early in the morning on Facebook, the day did not disappoint. We really could have used that on a Monday, but whatever, we’ll take it on Tuesday too. Diagon Alley Officially Opened (image source via link below) Never before have I been to Universal Studios, but thanks to all my friends in Florida who got to preview the soft openings and articles like this pointing out Easter Eggs have made me add Orlando to my list of destinations. Rita Skeeter…

Khal Drogo: A Cautionary Tale in the Value of Neosporin

Jimmy Kimmel and Jason Mamoa discuss the most accurate and anticlimactic death yet on “Game of Thrones” Some could say that the death of the hulking Khal Drogo from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga is a cautionary tale about disregarding the value of antiseptic. The Dothraki War Lord wins an impressive battle with an unruly soldier, only to succumb to infection from a nick in the chest left by an errant arahk (the scythe-like blade favored by Dothraki). Of course, there’s the…

What It’s Like to Live Spoiler-Free Post “Game of Thrones”

In a world of shocked Social Media Enthusiasts determined to ruin it for you. Last night marked the grand finale of the fourth season of “Game of Thrones” and, according to the World Wide Web, it was a shocker. As for this writer? Well, I’m comfortable assuming it was chock full of those classic George R.R. Martin induced “WTF Moments.” But I can’t technically say that I know with any certainty. Because I haven’t seen that last four episodes of the season. Because  reasons. But…

Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Excuse Us While We Fangirl…The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is Back! (Briefly)

A little over a year ago wrapped one of the most impressive youtube series we’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing…and they’ve just released an update! The incredible youtube series, co-produced by Bernie Su and Hank Green (of Vlogbrothers fame), launched back in March of 2012 as a modern retelling of the Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice. Starring the amazingly talented Ashley Clements as Lizzie Bennet, a 24 year old mass communications grad student vlogging her way to her thesis, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was a masterful,…

Bob's Burgers

A Case for The Awkward Glory of Tina Belcher

Over at The Mary Sue, they’re making a terrific case for the fantastic complexity of Bob’s Burgers Tina Belcher In a Sunday Night lineup marked by Seth McFarlane‘s xenophobic, sexist, racist, tongue-in-cheek brand of ironic humor — for some of us, H. Jon Benjamin‘s family comedy is an underrated reprieve. Viewers can tune in and count on seeing a quirky, lower-middle class family taking on their small east coast town in all their awkward glory. You’ve got Linda, who’s willing to cheer on anything that…

Why We Aren’t Upset That ‘Almost Human’ Got Axed

Almost Human has an A-list cast, a prime time spot, and an original story line. So why did it get chopped? All you have to do is change the channel to see why. I am a fierce, fierce fan of Karl Urban. I love him. That kiwi’s smoldering good looks has hooked me since the early days of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Yeah, that’s a little later in his career, but at the time, it was really when I was just starting…

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

We Didn’t Expect This Sequel — And We Bet You Didn’t Either

After six years, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants plans a return to the silver screen. In the early 2000’s, Ann Brashare’s novels about a pair of nearly magical pants and a strong group of girls, resonated with young adult readers everywhere.  Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was so popular, it garnered a movie deal long before the YA rush of Twilight, Hunger Games and Divergent. Alloy Entertainment released Traveling Pants to theaters back in 2005 to moderate success, and a sequel followed in 2008. The actual series is 5 novels and…

Game of Thrones Sparks a New Controversy

Sunday night’s episode of “Game of Thrones” featured one particular scene which called into question an entire character arc and left several outraged.

Several bloggers have taken to the internet to express their opinion about the scene, and how it deviated from the original content. Since…

“Boy Meets World” Is Back To Raise a New Generation

There’s a reboot coming your way — are you ready for it? For many of us 20-somethings (and older), growing up,  the TGIF lineup on ABC was an essential part of our weekend. This included Sabrina The Teenage Witch, the short lived Teen Angel and, of course, Boy Meets World. For this writer, tuning in every weekend for the latest adventures of Cory Matthews, Shawn Hunter and Topanga Lawrence was a necessity in my household. The show had it all, ranging from achingly relevant to hilariously impractical. It’s…
