What do you get when you combine Back to the Future, one of the most awesome shows on the planet of all time (1955 or 2015 or whatever other year) with a great indie song from Canadian band, Said the Whale? You get a masterpiece of epic proportions! Check out the video below to see Said the Whale’s latest music video for one of their newer songs called “Lines”. It is an accurate reenactment of the Enchantment under the Sea dance scene on BTTF:
Make sure you catch Mr. Strickland, those naughty kids slipping some alcohol into the punch, and Marty McFly number two going incognito!
The first season of Cougar Town is finished and I am ACHING for more episodes! Contrary to the title, the TV show does NOT revolve around cougar-ish acts. In fact, the cougar idea lingers around the first few episodes and then Jules (played by Courtney Cox) starts dating men her age. Barbs still gives a few Cougar jokes every now and then but they are minimal and they are just enough to add some more color to the already zany splash of colors the show has.
So what do you get when you subtract the Cougar from the Cougar Town? Still a ton of awesome! You get the quick-fire crazy type of humor that Scrubs is famous for (Cougar Town was made by the same makers of Scrubs). You get a fantastic comedy with a fantastic cast, each of whom have their own brand of humor (from the smug guy to the ditsy party girl) that just really well with the dynamics of the rest! The cast has become this one great close gang (The Cul de Sac crew), and you cannot get enough of the relationships they have with one another.
You also get the occassional “aww” teary moments, most of which are courtesy of Travis Cobb (played by Dan Byrd), the son of Jules, the youngest lead character in the story who, by no means, pales in comparison to the rest of the characters of the show in terms of comedic timing. Every now and then, you are reminded of just how much Travis loves his parents, despite how dysfunctional they usually are – chasing after red balloons, driving in golf carts, etc.
You also watch the inherent differences between females and males, and how they cope with the quirks of the opposite sex. Like how males use a defense mechanism against females when they lash out.
Ultimately, this show is about friendship and the fun, love, and kookiness that comes with it. The beach scene of the last episode is testament to that (I confess I got a tad teary-eyed, especially knowing I have to wait a couple of months for Cougar Town Season 2!). It is an absolutely fun ride watching episode after episode, and I suggest you try it out if you haven’t yet!
Okay I know this isn’t extremely fresh news, but I haven’t been on the loop in terms of sci-fi series lately, and I was never a huge follower of TSCC, so when I chanced upon a TSCC commercial with Shirley in it, I was surprised!
The Garbage singer has decided to make that ever-popular media shift from singer to actor… and, based on the teaser alone, it looks like she’ll do as good a job with this new stint as she did in her old one (that is, absolutely frikkin’ amazing!)
Shirley Manson played a heartless evil terminator (Catherine Weaver) in the second season of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Check it out here:
