Yet to Be Titled

[Gary Floyd]

The reason I gave called this post "Yet To Be Titled" is because I have decided that the title "Rntertainment Sucks" well...sucks.Any suggestions for a new title would be appreciated

 

And now, on with the news

 

-According to CNN, last night's Grammy Awards recieved it's 2nd lowest ratings yet thanks in part to "Desperate Housewives" The Grammy's themselves drew 18.83 million viewers.

 

-Warner Bros. and Dark Castle's upcoming in-name-only remake of 1953 horror classic "House of Wax" has the official poster up. The film opens May 6th, and stars "24"'s Elisha Cuthbert, "The O.C"'s Chad Michael Murray, Paris Hilton, and Brian Van Holt as the villain. The trailer will most likely be attatched to "Constantine", and the movie will most lkely suck, I.M.O. Anyways, here's the poster, which I must admit looks pretty cool

 

-Former "Friends" star Matthew Perry was rushed to the hospital recently after suffering a series of drug induced seizures.

 

-In 80's former child star news, Cory Feldman claims that Michael Jackson "threatened his life", and had belief that Feldman was going to write a book about Jackson.

 

-In Blockbuster news, at least 35 states have launched investigations on the stores new "No-Late Fees" policy, claiming that it is deceptive

 

-And finally, for those who didn't see it last week, here is the new poster for "Haute Tension" (or "High Tension"). The film will be released June 3rd this summer in it's original, uncut, NC-17 glory by Lions Gate". Anyways, here's the new poster

I guess nobody wanted to see the clusterfuck musical performances of golden oldies with hot new artist. Its was almost as bad as having Simpson & Duff Sisters with Wilson Philips singing a tribute to Heart.

 

Why is Cory Feldman in the news again? Is he going to show up on the Howard Stern show with wife #5 next?

[razazteca]

The Grammys were up against not only Desperate Housewives but ESPN had the Pro Bowl game, and Fox was reruning Family Guy & Simpsons.

I'll probably love this in a terrible way.

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

Chad Michael Murray isn't even on "The O.C". Idiot reporters, he's on One Tree Hill and formerly of Gilmore Girls.

NBC also had Law & Order: Criminal Intent with Chris Noth's return to the L&O franchise.

[Gary Floyd]

Ya know, I might see "House of Wax" when it comes out...just to see Hilton get killed off in a most brutal fashion

Wait...what?

For good?

 

Cause if he took over, I'll start watching CI cause I can't stand SVU anymore. I want to see Benson and Stabler dead, then I might watch.

[KingPK]

Yep, for good. I might start watching CI more regularly too, since the original might be on it's last legs with all the characters that were likeable are gone, and Sam Waterston probably next soon (and the woman who replaced Rohm is pretty uninteresting).

[2GOLD]

Good, then here I come Criminal Intent. The return of Mike Logan= new viewer.

 

L&O does have some unlikable characters and I can't see the new guy as anything more than the gangster in SNATCH. And I can't take Jesse Martin serious now that I've seen him prancing around and dancing in tights (damn NBC Christmas Carol).

Noth and Vincent D'Nofrio are both gonna be in 11 episodes

[NoCalMike]

Maybe people decided not to watch the Grammys because they didn't like it the first time they watched it when it was called "The Billboard Music awards"

 

I haven't even looked into Blockbuster's new "No Late Fees" policy. Anyone care to explain, and let me in on the catch?

Meaning what, he's not the future of the franchise?

Well then that is bull.

 

SVU is going down the toilet with the two best detectives not being the feature of the show.

[Guest Big_Jay101]

I'm pretty sure Jackson did not threaten his life, but he was showing him a book of vanarial diseases and the actual organs when he was just a kid.

If it's more then 7 days over due (I think that's the number, I'll have to double check later) they bill you as if you bought it.

 

Edit:

What are the full movie and game rental terms now that BLOCKBUSTER® has stopped charging late fees?

A: Movie and game rentals are due back at the date and time stated on the transaction receipt. There is no additional charge if a member keeps a rental item beyond the pre-paid rental period. However, if a member chooses to keep a rental item more than a week after the end of the rental period, Blockbuster will automatically convert the rental to a sale on the eight (8th) day after the end of the rental period. Blockbuster will charge the membership account the selling price for the item in effect at the time of the rental. The selling price will be discounted by the amount of the initial rental fee paid by the member at the time of rental. If the member returns the item within 30 days of the sale date, Blockbuster will credit back to the membership account the amount previously charged to the member’s account or the member’s credit card, as applicable, for the selling price of the item, but the member will be charged a minimal restocking fee. All rental items must be returned to the proper BLOCKBUSTER® store. These rental terms are subject to change without notice at any time. Participating stores only. Additional membership rules apply for rentals. See participating BLOCKBUSTER store for details.

The plan seems to be to phase out D'Onofrio and phase in Noth. So next season they will split duties, and expect to see Noth back permanently soon.

[godthedog]

d'onofrio's character and noth's character would make a terrible combination. d'onofrio's character is terrible anyway, but mike logan would totally call him out on all his weird shit and demand that he not speak at all. then d'onofrio would stay in the corner or something and make all these narrow-eyed weird ass facial expressions, and noth would periodically stop interrogations and go "what the hell is wrong with you?"

So what happens if you get the bill in the mail, and then just try and return the movie? I mean unless they are having members sign a brand new agreement stating they are willing to do this, I am not sure it will work.

[Guest Smues]

If you return it within 30 days you get just pay a restocking fee, after that I'm guessing your stuck and they unleash the hounds on you. I think this whole end of late fees thing is incredibly retarded and I hope it dies a fast death.

[2GOLD]

If you can't get a movie back within 8 days of the return date, you need to be slapped with a fee anyway.
