Dead Like Me: The Movie

I knew nothing about this DVD movie.

The movie came out of nowhere. Dead Like Me the movie is a spin off of the canceled Showtime tv show.

Former Star Trek Voyager writer Bryan Fuller created the show, and left the series over creative differences with the studio. I can’t seem to find his name anywhere in the creative process of the DVD movie. He might be a little bit too busy with Heroes and another TV show right now.

Ellen Muth looks really good in this movie. Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond from LOST, Brotha) is Mandy Patinkin’s replacement. BTW, there appears to be a huge time jump between the show and this movie.

I might check this out, because I enjoyed the first season of this strange show.

There is also a different Daisy: Sarah Wynter, who played Laura Harris(the original Daisy)'s sister and Jack Bauer's love interest in Season 2 of 24.

I'm so excited about this movie, thanks for the headsup. I'm glad that Jasmine Guy (Roxy) and Callum Blue (Mason) have reprised their roles.

Ellen Muth does look great, as does Britt McKillip (Reggie), who has really blossomed into a gorgeous young woman.

I saw Henry Ian Cusick playing a Russian crimelord in the Hitman movie last week, he's doing pretty well right now.

MC: Looking at Laura Harris’s Imdb, it’s no wonder she’s been extremely busy. She was freaking great on 24. I forgot she was in The Faculty too. (just saw that a few months ago) That's an interesting twist by having Wynter play the role now.


PJ: Henry Ian Cusick was also great in that 24 episode too. The man has been busy, he certainly deserves it. He’s a good actor. I just saw him in something, but I have completely forgotten what it was.

Mayren, did you think the series ended on a good note... as unexpectedly last episodes go, it was pretty good.

Mayren: Yeah, I knew nothing about this DVD movie. I am surprised it got made, with all the behind the scenes drama.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
