The Kids Are (Still) Alright
Aug 25th
Did you know Canadian sketch geniuses Kids in the Hall had a new original series on IFC? I sure didn’t. Heck, I didn’t even know IFC was still around. Nevertheless, I’ll be setting the Tivo to check it out.
The trailer doesn’t make me laugh out loud, but even after Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy, I’ll still give anything these guys do a fair shot (and that’s loyalty, ladies and gents).
I’ve already missed the first episode, but I’ll catch up and then report back in.
Annoying Lost Fans?
Jan 21st
The best part of the clip below isn’t its spot-on depiction of the obsessive nature of true Lost fans, it’s the original footage of show producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindeloff. I have infrequent contact with television series showrunners and producers as part of my job, and while some of them are absolutely stellar people, there are just as many that take themselves way too seriously and are thus a pain to deal with. I’ve never gotten that impression from the Lost producers. I was lucky enough to attend Comic-Con and hear Cuse and Lindeloff speak in multiple panels, and they always had an air of humility and humor to their talks. They seemed like guys you’d feel totally comfortable having a beer with. And their inclusion in the Onion video shows that they don’t mind laughing with (at?) their own fanbase.
