Screwed the Pooch

i have been paying attention of late to teh conan/leno fiasco over at nbc and a lot of people are showing support for coco which if you ask me is amazing but sadly it's a little too late

the nbc execs are poor decision makers if you ask me giving conan less than a year to establish a credible audience and it's only now with his cancellation in the coming days that the viewers are tuning in

coco has always done an amazing job with whatever he has been apart of, writing for SNL and the Simpsons and the Late Show as well as the Tonight Show. i've decided to watch the show in teh past week or so and don't understand why coco is being pulled other than both him and leno aren't getting what nbc wants in the terms of viewers.

i'll update this post later when i have time but for now all i can say is i'm with coco

and ps kyle and tim are returning next wednesday to the airwaves @ 10 pm, so unless kur execs do the same thing look forward to a great show

It's been a while

hey guys i know it's been a while since i last updated, almost two months ago, but a lot has been happening whether or not you like it or not. mike and jim over at nevermind the mainstream have been preparing top lists from 2009 and to be honest i was trying myself and well i failed miserably hence the lack of updating LOL

also i spent the past month or so slaving away at a thankless job so that also hurt my updating prowess. many new things have happened, new albums by Motion City Soundtrack, Los Campesinos! have dropped and are listenable and people they aren't terrible.

this semester me and tim return again to bring you the most lethal radio show ever...

so i leave you with this

Terminator Will Not Join the Whedon-verse

Hasta la vista! That’s what is being said over at Halycon as they announced their bankruptcy not too long ago and are pushing the rights of their biggest franchise Terminator of which they bought for $25 million two years ago.

Joss Whedon published a public note on the fan site Whedonesque. He made a semi-serious tongue in cheek bid for the franchise offering $10,000 for the rights to make more movies and television programs. There was no comment from the current holders over at Halycon but according to the Financial Times the franchise is going to be expected to go for an estimated $60 million at auction. Even if they get the minimum of the sixty mil they would believe it or not make a smooth cool profit on the rights.

Whedon, who is known for the shows “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” as well as the rather short lived FOX series “Firefly” and soon to be cancelled “Dollhouse” is being serious about the purchase. On his public note Whedon is quoted as saying: I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.

Kevin Shultz, a managing director at FTI Consulting is leading the deal told CNN that he was not aware of there being an offer by Whedon. Shultz though also told CNN that he is not even sure if Whedon’s bid would even be considered in an auction where it is expected to reach large amounts of money.

Whedon told Entertainment Weekly that he was just being a dumb ass of which he says he does best but he’s not even good at that. He also was quoted as stating “Congratulations! We’ll have that $10,000 now!” referring to getting a call from Halycon. Whedon is unlikely to get the rights with competitors like Sony.
Although Whedon most likely won’t get the franchise he so loves, all the nerds in the world though can keep their fingers crossed as Whedon could still land the directorial role in a future film.
