EW #973
Thanks to this issue, I have just realized that at some point in time James Franco and James Marsden had become confused in my mind as the same person! I kept wondering why the dude in the 27 dresses previews didn't look the way I expected him too! Um, duh, because it's not the same dude!!! Too funny!
Pretty intriguing interview with Matthew Fox; more "hinty" than usual about the upcoming season of Lost.
Upcoming TV for Spring: Jan 28 - HBO "Mind Games", shrink show with Gabriel Byrne (a 5-nights-a-week commitment to one show is a bit much even for me); Feb 12 - Jericho returns!; March 7 new show "The Return of Jezebel James", sisters played by Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose (Parker Posey doing a TV sitcom?); April 4 Battlestar Galactica returns (since there's nothing else to watch these days, I may actually be able to catch up to this show in time to watch new episodes!). I'm waiting to watch this season of The Wire until it comes out on DVD...as last season with all the kids & school was just too heavy for me at the time. Saving it for later!
Hilarious comment on Stranger than Fiction in the TV guide: Contemporary American film in which books play a prominent role, so you can sort infer why it didn't do all that well.
And I really enjoyed the back page column by Mark Harris on hello why are we repeating plot lines in sci fi movies these days (I Am Legend; Battlestar Galactica; new Star Wars?; etc.; as well as a million and one Blade Runner retrospectives); where are the new and innovative sci fi pieces. Cut the nostalgia! Come up with something new! Good stuff.
