Entertainment Link-Off: Welcome to the Dollhouse

dichen-lachman-1Since Eliza Dushku has been featured in an earlier edition of the weekend link-off, I thought I would let her Dollhouse costar Dichen Lachman headline this post. The season finale of Dollhouse airs next Friday at 9 pm on FOX (since the network decided not to air the 13th episode titled Epitaph One). While this show has little to no chance of returning next season, perhaps an uptick in viewers for the finale might help change FOX’s mind.

I know this is an “entertainment link-off”, but this first article is too good to pass up. A new Viagra rival is actually an ointment that can be rubbed onto the skin. [Insert ‘rubbing to turn something on’ joke here]. Apparently this product can lead to quicker hard-ons compared to Viagra. I guess this could generate some entertaining results. [Daily Telegraph]

After the break, Dollhouse, Chuck, some music news and the latest Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer! Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

save-chuck Be a nerd. Join the herd. Save Chuck! The second season finale of Chuck airs on Monday at 8pm on NBC (CityTV if you’re in Canada). Don’t forget to tune in if you want the show to have a shot at a third season! If you missed the majority of the second season, don’t worry, you can catch up by clicking this. In addition to watching the finale on Monday night, don’t forget to take part in the Save Chuck Campaign. The recent rumours about a Chuck renewal aren’t true, so we must push forward to prevent Ben Silverman from making the biggest mistake of his life by cancelling this series. While most “save our show” campaigns are useless, this one might be more effective. Have faith fellow Nerd Herders. Viva Buymoria!

After the jump, more articles on movies, video games, video games turned into movies (or not) and a hilarious Chuck fanvid. Continue reading →

Weekend Link-Off Part Deux: Geekgasm Alert!

megan-fox-2 I just have a picture of Megan Fox here for no apparent reason.  Actually on second thought, there is a reason.  Michael Bay has released new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen footage today and fanboys everywhere are celebrating (including me!).  Check out the video after the jump.

Who said you needed to be hired at a restaurant in order to make money as a waiter? (Toronto Star)

Over in Conover, North Carolina, two Dominos employees decided to videotape various unsanitary acts while working at one of the stores.  Clearly they didn’t think this through.  The company has decided to fire the two employees and file a criminal complaints against them.  Those poor customers… now they know how ass tastes like… (ABC News)

Speaking of someone that knows what ass tastes like, a strip search was performed on a man charged with drug possession and the police officer found a bag with a white powdery substance in his rectum.  They guy grabbed the bag from the officer and stuffed it into his mouth!  You know you’re an addict when… (Olivia Munn)

A man in Waco, Texas was stabbed twice because he farted.  I supposed he needed a few extra openings to let the gas out. (Metro)

A man committed suicide in the middle of a late night screening of Watchmen.  I never knew the movie was that bad! (Slashfilm)

A 32 year old woman jumped into the polar bear exhibit at the Berlin Zoo during feeding time.  The woman jumped into the pool willingly since she was expecting to be welcomed by the polar bears, but instead she was attacked and bitten.  Bears are dangerous, of course you’ll get mauled! Duh! (Daily Mail)

A British man killed his partner of 30 years after she became obsessed with Grand Theft Auto!  Hey World of Warcraft gamers, I think you should be concerned about your personal safety too! (Daily Mail)

Random Entertainment Update

To the TV Executives: A Nutless Monkey Can Do Your Job
The first topic falls under the “what were the thinking?!” category. While the cancellation of Kyle XY was announced back in January, it really didn’t hit home until the “series finale” aired on Monday night. Since the cancellation was announced so late, the writers and producers did not have enough time to write and film a proper send off for the series. Instead all the fans were left with one hell of a cliffhanger on Monday night. It was almost like a Sopranos send off, except this was not a planned series finale. Continue reading →

Evening Link-Off: Because We Got High… Because We Got High… Because We Got High!

In 30 minutes or so, I expect you to be in front of the TV screen tuning into Friday Night Lights! The best drama on TV requires your attention! I don’t want any lame excuses… you better be tuned into NBC at 9 pm! (FNL airs on E! in Canada). Ok fine, the only legitimate excuse is that you’ve decided to watch Dollhouse and drool over the hotness of Eliza Dushku.

And now onto the news!

Apparently there are 1700 people in Canada that are licensed to grow marijuana for “medical purposes”. Well… I’m sure there’s no illegal activity going on since these “legal” grow ops are usually barricaded to prevent people from getting in. CTV Toronto

Canada is now the USA’s number 1 ecstasy supplier! Toronto Star Wow… with all those drugs floating around… no wonder our economy is going down the drain.

Speaking of bad economy… it appears that people are getting desperate to make money. Got eggs? Toronto Star

Even musicians are up for making a quick buck. MGMT sues Nicholas Sarkozy! Entertainment Weekly

Alright guys, time to head off to watch some FNL! (Assuming those drugs didn’t turn you off from intelligent programming).

The Lowdown Liveblogs The Oscars!

Tonight is the big night in the world of entertainment but we all know how the Oscars is going to be a huge snorefest. To liven things up, I’ll be posting some random tidbits during this uber long award show.

Let’s kick things off with the Razzie winners! Looks like Mike Myers is the big winner this year! The Love Guru was a piece of crap movie. Sorry Mike, you’re no longer a comic genius. Another big winner is Paris Hilton for worst actress! Wait a second. Have the critics not seen One Night in Paris???

Speaking of Razzies, it seems like the new Street Fighter movie will be a contender next year. Poor Michael Clarke Duncan… why is he being casted in crapfests like these? He deserves better. Variety

8:30 pm: Hugh Jackman off to a decent start. I guess the guy can be funny. The dude has earned his fees. He did manage to make a plug for the big budget flop ‘Australia’… even though it was in a self-depreciating way. Continue reading →
