Everyone from the Big-Three networks to the basic-cable movers and shakers get their tentpoles and marquee projects up and running in September – by October, however, they're bringing back some under-the-radar favorites (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and trying out some ambitious one-off experiments. (Ready yourself for whatever a Fox-approved Rocky Horror Picture Show might look like!) Meanwhile, Epix, TBS, and HBO launch promising new series pretty much covering the breadth of genres, and oh yeah, some horror show called The Walking Dead lurches back onto television to let fans in on who, exactly,...

With their sitcom House Of Fools recently announced, we celebrate the enduring comedy brilliance of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer...
Readers of a certain age may remember the first time they saw Vic and Bob on television. For some, it may have been the 25th of May 1990, the fateful night "Britain's top light entertainer and singer" Vic Reeves burst onto screens with an absurdly fast, lounge-act rendition of The Monkees' I'm A Believer. In the background, his cohort Bob Mortimer looked on admiringly, dressed in the stovepipe hat and vast sideburns of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
For many viewers, this was a first glimpse inside the strange world of a comedy duo who'd already garnered a cult following in London pubs and clubs in the mid-1980s. Having impressed the likes of Jonathan Ross and Alan Yentob with their surreal, apparently semi-improvised comedy, Vic and...

The United Kingdom recently took a big wallow in pomp and pageantry for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, but there's something mischievous in the British national character that loves nothing more than puncturing targets that have gotten a little full of themselves.
That probably explains "Twenty Twelve," the gleeful new BBC America sitcom premiering Thursday, June 28, that casts Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey") as Ian Fletcher, the hapless manager entrusted with coordinating the run-up to the Olympic Summer Games. Left to his own devices, Ian probably would be a charismatic, competent boss, but this current gig forces him to deal constantly with idiots such as "director of branding" Siobhan Sharp (Jessica Hynes, "Spaced"), who babbles endlessly in PR-speak, and Graham Hitchens (Karl Theobald), who is in charge of coordinating logistics yet incapable of understanding why Ian has qualms about his plan to route all Olympic flights through the airspace above U.

Director Matthew Vaughn has acquired the movie rights to Mark Millar’s Superior comic book. Matthew Vaughn previously adapted Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass comic book, bringing it to the big screen (reviewed here: Kick-Ass (2010) Movie Review). The Superior comic book is about “a young boy living with multiple sclerosis who is given the opportunity to transform into his idol, a superhero from the big screen.”
Initially, this is what Mark Miller had to say about Superior‘s film right’s acquisition:
Basically, my kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn has bought the movie rights to Superior from me and Leinil Yu and Leinil and I am also teaming up with the Ms Society, who want to use the character as it’s the first superhero with multiple sclerosis. 2 big stories in one. Vaughn and I have hinted at this for about 18 months, but this is the first we’ve ever confirmed he’s bought the rights.

This is something that ended up in today's Superhero Bits [1], but it is really big enough to warrant its own headline.

Clear the decks. The Force is on its way. Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, the sixth and final episode of George Lucas' singular sci-fi epics, is expected to ignite the somewhat sleepy start of the summer blockbuster season as it takes off this coming weekend in 102 overseas territories. Meanwhile, Kingdom of Heaven, Episode III's 20th Century Fox stablemate, passed an overseas milestone by chalking up a cume to date of $103.8 million after a $28 million weekend from 99 markets, with Fox accounting for $89.8 million from territories under its jurisdiction and Pathe extracting $6.7 million from France and Medusa Films, also $6.7 million, from Italy. On its second weekend, Kingdom showed once again that historical epics generally do better abroad than in the home market. But it failed to overwhelm Japanese moviegoers, who favored their own branded crime-action series Bayside Shakedown, which held the top spot with a second-weekend take of almost $3 million from 282 screens -- for a market cume of $12.7 million -- to Kingdom's opening weekend of $2.4 million from 492.
