Kevin Spacey Doing Impressions Will Never Not Be Funny

Editorial, Television November 4, 2014 shawhamp

Kevin Spacey showed up on The Tonight Show and did some pretty spot on and hilarious impressions of Christopher Walken, Michael Caine, and Johnny Carson Kevin Spacey is kind of a big deal right now with his role as Frank Underwood in Netflix’s gripping political thriller House of Cards (not to be confused with the BBC’s original production of House of Cards which is actually incredibly dull and hard to get through seeing as I haven’t studied any part of the last 300 years of…

Daniel Radcliffe Subtly Cast an Expelliarmus Charm and Left Us All Stupified

Actors, Editorial, Television October 29, 2014 shawhamp

Can we just talk about how amazing it is that Daniel Radcliffe rapped it out on Jimmy Fallon? In case you haven’t seen it, this is what we’re talking about: Relashio! I thought you might need to be pulled out of that spell Daniel Radcliffe just put you under. Radcliffe is one hundred percent known the world over as “Harry Potter.” I don’t think anyone has ever seen a picture of him and went “Hey! That’s Arthur Kipps!” so it was riddikulusly refreshing to see…

No One Does Shakespeare Better Than The British

Actors, Television October 28, 2014 shawhamp

BBC revealed the secretive video they had Benedict Cumberbatch record, and it’s definitely something to behold. Taken from Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Benedict Cumberbatch breaths new life into this monologue as BBC uses Britons best writer as a backdrop for their visually stunning drama. Post by BBC One. Official Shakespeare Transcript: All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven…

Would You Watch The Mortal Instruments TV Show?

Editorial, Fictional Characters, Television October 13, 2014 shawhamp

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…

Editorial, Television August 21, 2014 shawhamp

A fanmade video for Fifty Shades of Johnlock has us more excited about old Sherlock than new Fifty Shades of Grey This writer personally sticks pretty strictly to cannon. However, this may be the best, most tasteful, most heartbreaking/heartswelling Sherlock fanmade video to come since

Moffat Is Already Making Us Cringe For Doctor Who

Editorial, Television July 10, 2014 shawhamp

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…

Fictional Characters, Television July 9, 2014 shawhamp

Spoilers! OK, no, not really. Just in case we lose track of time and forget that the children actors of Game of Thrones are indeed aging–and quickly–here’s a great little look back at Bran from season 1 through 4 and what an imgur user believes he’ll look like for Season 5. Well played, well played. Thanks to Nerd Approved for sharing that on Facebook!

Deadbeat is a New Medium for Ghost Entertainment

Editorial, Television June 30, 2014 shawhamp

Think ghost stories are overdone? Think again. Deadbeat on HuluPlus takes a fresh stab at a classic plot line. It’s always a challenge to write editorial pieces about TV shows because it can be hard to not ruin the plot line. Luckily, there isn’t the biggest plot line to Deadbeat, which actually maintains part of the charm. The entire premise of the show is about two Mediums who butt heads constantly: Kevin Pacalioglu, a deadbeat who can talk to ghosts, and Camomile White, a crypto-erotica…

Video June 27, 2014 shawhamp

Our favorite Doctor is back for Doctor Who Series 8 with his new look and–from the looks of it–a new Tardis on Saturday August 23rd!

Who’s excited?! The first episode of the new Doctor Who Season 8 is titled ‘Deep Breath.’

What do you think of this new trailer? It’s looking like we can expect the pilot to involve some damage to the Tardis, a dark welcome to this new reincarnation, and a panicked Clara. BBC One announced on their Facebook page that Doctor Who is premiering August 23rd, and E!Online announced it will premier in the States on August 23rd at 8pm on BBC America.

Khal Drogo: A Cautionary Tale in the Value of Neosporin

Actors, Books, Television June 19, 2014 shawty007

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…
