It was one of the surprise announcements of this TV season, that Britney Spears would appear on How I Met Your Mother on CBS. Letterman? Sure, but a sitcom? Despite her experience with guest starring on Will & Grace, it seemed like a strange move at this point in the singer’s career. That was until the episode garnered very favorable reviews from critics and fans alike.
Ever wondered what the real world would be like if it were more like Futurama? First, there’d probably be a whole debate this election year on robot rights to marry. But beyond that, it might look something like the art Dylan Marvin has cooked up. Basically, Marvin has taken some stock photography and used Photoshop to tweak it beyond belief. The result? Something very, very neat. Visit his site for more Futurama artwork.
The other day there was a very weird press release for the Blu-ray release of Batman: The Movie. Weird, because who was really clamoring for Batman: The Movie on Blu-ray? Not only that, but it featured a truckload of extras. Now comes this first look at the cover art for the disc. It looks, well, a little serious. Perhaps they are hoping to trick some fans of this summer’s The Dark Knight into buying this based on the cover alone? They’ll be sorely disappointed.
There isn’t too much surprising here that hasn’t been announced before, with the possible exception of the XIII miniseries. Based on a popular comic book series, it has already been adapted once as a video game (featuring the voice of David Duchovny). The rest of the lineup isn’t too thrilling, though it is interesting to see that they note this will be ER’s last season. Wasn’t the same thing said about last season?
Here’s the thing about American Idol: it isn’t great and they take advantage of the artists, but pretty much everyone who has launched a career from it owes it everything. It’s a sad realization for many, but most American Idol contestants would have gotten nowhere without the show’s ubiquitous PR behind them. That includes last season’s runner-up Blake Lewis. This appearance on a radio show, while sprinkled with some truth, just makes him seem like such a prima donna for someone who hasn’t really accomplished all that much. It’s akin to being snobby at a monster truck rally.
There isn’t a whole lot to say about these new images, other than avoid them at all costs if you’re the least bit worried about having any part of the film spoiled. Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot to them, but for diehards that’s still probably too much. It is interesting to see that the Joker will be in and out of his comic getup.
