"Prozac Nation" the movie is finally released...on cable television
Category: Film News
Posted by Patrick | March 10, 2005 | 04:11 PM

One of the most candidly depressing memoirs ever written will finally see the light of day as a major motion picture. However, Elizabeth Wurtzel's "Prozac Nation" won't be attracting moviegoers into theatres. Instead, it will premiere via cable television on the STARZ! Network in March. Though the film has been complete for quite some time, rumor has it that "Prozac" tested poorly with audiences raising concern for it's potential failure in theatres.

If you don't see the movie, definitely check out the book.

JAG without Harm?

That is like peanut butter without jelly. David James Elliott is set to part ways with the military drama after 10 years. Harmon Rabb is "JAG" and he is a walking recruitment poster for the armed services. It's hard to believe that they could make a realistic go of it without him. Elliott has signed a deal with ABC's Touchtone Television enabling him to star in a new or existing series as well as create his own ventures.

You would think that an artist with Beck's credentials would be too good to associate himself with the March 10th episode of "The O.C." However, quirkiness in tact, he naturally makes it look cool. This is no sell-out, and it gives us a chance to preview new tracks from his soon to be release album, "Guereo." Look for the PM Media Review coming this week.

Even Chris Rock came off as tepid and tame at the Oscars

Were you expecting Chris Rock to turn the Oscars from a conservative black tie event into the MTV Awards? Instead, the show was very tame and not too in your face as we know Chris Rock can be. The opening monologue was funny but restricted. I had hoped that the rest of the show would have had a sharper edge especially after Rock's visit to the Magic Johnson Theatres where none of those interviewed saw any of the Oscar nominated films but agreed that "White Chicks" was the best movie ever! Dare I say, "bring back Billy Crystal and his song and dance?"

Christian Troy as OO7?

Julian McMahnonFrom one womanizer to another, Julian McMahon, who plays Christian Troy on the daring FX series, "Nip/Tuck," may be trading in his surgical tools and groupies for high-tech spy gadgets and Bond Girls. I never would have thought of Dr. Troy as succeeding Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond Franchise but do see some potential there.

Quentin TarantinoThe coolest director in Hollywood isn't too cool to lend his talents to the small screen. We've already seen Quentin Tarantino's contributions on "ER" and "Alias." Now, he will direct the 5th season clincher of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." This might be a good chance to "bring out the gimp."

Chris Rock wants to clarify what he meant when he said straight men don't watch the Oscars.

"I did not say that. I said only gay people watch the Tonys," he joked Monday during an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

Jon Stewart: TV Mogul

Jon Stewart: TV MogulThe funniest smart guy (or the smartest funny guy) is in high demand and calling shots. Comedy Central is banking on fans wanting more than a daily dose of Jon Stewart. TV's anti-Walter Cronkite has obtained financing from his home base cable network to resurrect his long-dormant Busboy Production shingle. In exchange, Stewart will give Comedy Central first crack at picking up all the projects it develops, network president Doug Herzog announced Tuesday. Should be good for America!

In case you missed it, you've got to see Stewart's infamous appearance on CNN's Crossfire, which probably made the decision to cancel the show very easy.

Will Oscar give Rock the Boot?
Category: Television News
Posted by Patrick | February 15, 2005 | 10:06 AM

Chris RockFor those who don't know, Chris Rock will be hosting the Oscars, but what's more interesting are the comments he made belittling the event of which he will be the star. Much has been made about him calling the show "idiotic" and a "fashion show" and that "ONLY GAYS WATCH OSCARS." My personal favorite is, "What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one!" Good times! Now, the academy is having second thoughts. What else did they expect? This should turn out to be the edgiest Oscar Night yet...assuming Rock still has the job. Check out Matt Drudge's article.
