Brian Fowler Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Only bit I've seen on Arsenio's new show was Penn & Teller, but that was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Last night in it's prime time slot, the ever dependable MeTv network ran a 1990 made-for-t.v. Perry Mason movie. Now, the target demographic audience for that is women 75-94...so of course I DVR'ed that shit. It was worth it for a fantastic scene of a secret poker game in Las Vegas featuring maybe the greatest collection of t.v. heels in one room ever. The party included: - Robert Culp - Robert Vaughn - Jere Burns (Wynn Duffy from JUSTIFIED and Anson Fullerton on BURN NOTICE) - Kevin Tighe (AKA Locke's dad) Plus two other guys I didn't recognize. All just laying it on to out-smarm each-other until we find out which one gets murdered and which one made it happen. It was magnificent. I think Culp won. But I'm a massive Culp mark. Also I'm just now realizing that Kevin "Locke's dad" Tighe is the guy from EMERGENCY! I watched the crap out of that show as a kid, I even had the board game...and I never caught that it was him. Holy crap, this movie also has a scene of Barbara Hale, who played Perry Mason's secretary since 1957 comforting Lois de Banzie, who was playing Robert Culp's long-time secretary. Two secretaries...played by two women with roughly 100 years of t.v. roles between them shooting the shit about what it's like to be stuck in the same part forever. ....aaaand Harry "No, sir I am not Giancarlo Esposito" Lennix just showed up. The casting director on this thing was on fire. update: Is that Non from SUPERMAN 2? Holy fuck, that's NON FROM SUPERMAN 2!!!!!!!!!!! If all that isn't enough, the girl from the Fred Savage/Nintendo Power Glove movie THE WIZARD is all over this. She became the lead singer of Rilo Kiley. and now that the murder investigation is on, we get one-on-one scenes with all of the remaining heels. They each get to show off their dickishness in full close up. Locke's dad is hammering this. The lesson here is watch the shit that old people watch. JESUS CHRIST, THE LEAD ACTRESS FROM BOTH BREAKIN' and BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO is supposedly in this movie somewhere! I am now scouring it, because I haven't seen her yet. YOU STAY ALIVE, SPECIAL K! I WILL FIND YOU! NO MATTER WHAT OCCURS I WILL FIND YOU!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Speaking of random casting, I'm watching Maximum Overdrive right now and just realized Giancarlo Esposito plays the guy that gets electrocuted in the game room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Whoa! That is kind of bizarre. Why they would cast a guy who looks permanently 45 years old in that part is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Territorial Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Been watching Bob's Burgers this week (Comcast has all of season 3 available via On Demand). It's actually funny. Actually, it's consistently very funny. I had no idea. It's never looked like much to me, so I the only episode I've ever watched is the pilot. Maybe. Are seasons 1 and 2 as good? 'Cause if they are, I need to track down the season sets asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Did Jeremy Piven ever have hair? Was watching Lucas and he was balding in 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Piven has looked 40 since he was in his teens. It's really astounding. He's the negative version of Seth Green. In all those John Cusack movies he was in, if you just look at him you'd have no idea which movie/decade it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 As far the actress from Breakin/Breakin 2 goes, let us also not forget she was also the one posessed by the evil ninja in Ninja 3: The Domination! James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Locke's dad did it. I never did find Special K. But I did find out she's a judge on a dancing show now. She looks pretty fantastic: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I gave Arsenio a try last night. I had heard it was a carbon copy of his previous show from the 80s. Took me a minute to find it as it isn't on Fox anymore, it's on CW. I was disappointed they had new music & new graphics instead of the iconic Arsenio signature graphic. I don't think this show is going to last that long. The monologue & segments therein were LAME and the blue curtain set looked really low budget. Arsenio himself still has a lot of presence & charisma but the content just wasn't there. Granted some of the disconnect could be due to me not getting "Black humor" but it seems like the genre has passed him by. Not to mention quite a few of his writers are simply dudes Leno got rid of this past year due to budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like prime Simpsons level hilarious sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Bob's Burgers is great and one of those shows that friends pimped forever and I never decided to look into. Then it showed up on Adult Swim, I saw it and loved it. Kristen Schaal is just too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offspring515 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Emmy's thought: Is there something wrong with this Shemar Moore dude? I know he's an actor, I'm sure I've seen him in something before...but he's SO fucking terrible. Every time they go to him he seems all stilted and nervous. The fuck...

pipGofern Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I didn't bother setting my DVR for the Emmys because who has time for Hollywood wankfests when my time could be much better spent getting prickteased by the Steelers but this morning I watch highlights and see Nathan Fillion cameo'd during NPH's obligatory song-and-dance number so now I must downlo...er, find it through other means. *hopes for a Captain Hammer reference* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Whoever thought up the "Tributes" sprinkled throughout the show for the In Memoiram thing, and then choose certain people to get special tributes needs to go, and they never need to do that ever again. Fuck giving a tribute to Cory Montheith, while Larry Hagman, Roger Ebert, and Jack Klugman got the little blip treatment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
