Mega Buzz: Scoop on House, Criminal Minds, The Office and More!

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:01:00 +0000

Every week, editors Mickey O'Connor and Adam Bryant answer your burning questions. Want some TV scoop? Please send all questionsto mega_scoop@tvguide.com. Any chance we'll see a Wilson-Cuddy hookup on House? — Allison MICKEY: I suppose this is a natural progression after we all lived through Huddy, but Robert Sean Leonard disabused us of that notion when we asked. "I think [Wilson] is a dark guy. He has three ex-wives, he lives alone, deals with death every day and his best friend is House," he says. "So when I think about him with Cuddy, it doesn't work." Fine, so then maybe there's someone else out there for him? Not for now, says Leonard. He'll just have to content himself with a domestic partner (as in roommate) in House. They'll be going apartment-hunting together soon. I'm obsessed with Criminal Minds! Are they ever going to get Prentiss a boyfriend?

Family Video Flourishes Where Others Fail

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:51:57 +0000

By Brent Lang Despite the odds against rental chains, Family Video is shunning the newfangled kiosks and video on demand businesses in favor of the traditional store model. And it's working. The privately held video game and movie rental chain is quietly taking advantage of its big name competitors' woes to expand its reach. Over the last year, the Glenview, Ill.-based company has opened 45 new locations in places such as Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. It plans to open roughly the same number in the coming fiscal year. "We're a mom-and-pop store on steroids, but we...

Review: 'The Road'

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:45:28 +0000

An honorable, yet unfulfilling, attempt at filming Cormac McCarthy's unfilmable book. > "The Road" is a road you'll wish hadn't been taken. Not because anything's been badly done, but because there's a serious imbalance in the complicated equation between what the film forces us to endure and what we end up receiving in return.

"Princess" fractures fairy tale in vibrant style (Reuters)

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:19:12 +0000

Reuters - The narrative behind "The Princess and the Frog" is that Walt Disney Animation has rediscovered its traditional hand-drawn animation, which has been supplanted by computer-generated cartoons. But this misses the point about what allowed Pixar -- which Disney now owns -- DreamWorks and other CG-animation companies to upstage the one-time king of the animation world. It's a thing called story.

Why is Thanksgiving on Thursdays? Aren't we supposed to "Thank God It's Friday"? Are we supposed to thank God twice in the same week? I think that's a little overboard, don't you? It's a little tricky for me to give thanks on Thanksgiving anyway. Oh I'm flooded with gratitude, especially when I've just been flooded, but the problem is, I practice Christian Science except for all the doctrines and beliefs, and that insane "no doctors" thing, and Mary Baker Eddy's idea of God wasn't a being you could talk to, like a Gay Best Friend. Rather, she defined God as Principle, Mind, Truth, Intelligence, Spirit, and a lot of other crap like that, and it's practically impossible to tell just what the hell she meant. Reading Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures isn't much help, as it's completely incoherent, and suggests that it's authoress was thoroughly mad.
