Hmmm...in case you can't find anything interesting to watch and are wondering if there are cool films and television series coming up in sci-fi, etc...this is for you:
1. A List of Upcoming Sci-Fi Fantasy Comics and Book Adaptations.
Most of these are in the development stages or have just been optioned, which means don't hold your breath. Several have already been done and apparently someone else wants to try them again. (Death on the Nile, The Watchmen, His Dark Materials and Dune all come to mind.) Others are just continuations in current series, mainly of superhero action comic sector.
Of the list of shows that have actually gotten developed and have air dates, notable mentions? (Notable because they aren't sequels, seem a bit different and jumped out at me due to familarity, there's about 200 items on the list.)
( Read more... )
2. EW is hyping stuff up in their new issue..
* Trust - the John Getty Family Saga starring Donald Sutherland, Hilary Swank and Brendan Frazier (all of which I didn't realize were still doing stuff), and procuded by Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy and Christian Coulson...premiers on March 25 on F/X)
* RU Paul's Drag Show -- premiers' March 22 at 8PM on VH1. (One of my Buffy fandom friends on FB is really really into this.)
* Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, featuring new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber and produced by them. Starring John Legend, Sara Bareilles and Alice Cooper. No word yet on who is playing Judas -- who really is the second lead. Interesting Legend is doing Jesus.
* Legion (YES it is coming back! YAY!) -- April 3 on FX (and no, F/X isn't nice enough to provide an actual time.)
* For the People -- got a great review in EW, I haven't tried it yet. I have "lawyerproblems" with these types of series, similar to what someone with an MD or a nurse would have with all the medical shows, I suspect. I can watch medical shows but legal shows irritate me, I'm guessing it's the opposite for health care providers?
[As an aside, that has zip to do with any of the above...you know you have a weakness for superhero action shows/films, when you have seen all the Marvel films and all the DC films with few exceptions and many in the movie theater. This is pathetic. I've seen 10 MCU films, 13 XMen/Spidermen Films, and 13 DC films...not including The 300 and Watchman (also saw), Sin City (yep that too), and most of the television series. Sigh. Add to this? I've read most of the comics. Oh and there is a nifty chart showing you how the MCU films and characters connect to each other. ]
* I'm skipping Roseanne, mainly because the only reason I watched it was Laurie Metcalf, John Goodman, and the writers who she kept firing, mainly because she's the female version of Trump and likes to fire people.
Goodman and Metcalf are returning, so tempted. Everyone in that cast but Roseanne was good.
I'd watch Metcalf and Goodman read the phone book.
It's premiering next week on March 27 at 8PM on ABC (no not Fox..surprisingly enough).
* Supernatural on March 29 decides to do an animated cross over with "Scooby Doo, Where are You?".
LOL!
Dean gets stuck in a vase with Daphne, while Sam gets stuck in one with Velma. Meanwhile Freddie and Shaggy are stuck together, and Scooby is all be his lonesome. Poor Scooby.
* Barry is premiering on HBO -- this is a weird sitcom about a former hitman who wants to become an actor.
*ON CNN - Christiane Amanpour decides to do a documentary series on Sex & Love Around the World.
I think there is too many television shows, channels and streaming channels...I'm losing track of all of them.
Don't get me wrong, I love it...it's just there are just not enough hours in my life to watch this stuff, go to work, have a semblance of a social life, eat, sleep, meditate, exercise, write, etc.
Also, I think if you did watch all these things after a bit, you're brain would melt and your muscles would atrophy.
