Film and TV: No more Narnia movies and no more Project Runway

In a move designed to upset my my other half on Christmas Eve (mhahaha – it’s my evil deed for the week >-) ), I’m passing on the news that it looks very unlikely that Disney will be making any more Narnia movies (source Defamer.com who cite HollywoodReport.com as a source: but also see NationalPost, CinemaBlend, TotalFilm and E!Online – although they all say pretty much the same thing) and Jezebel is reporting that the new series (6) of Project Runway (which Katy watches a lot) is in legal problems which may stop its production.

Merry Christmas! 😀

“David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.

Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005, and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year (2009). ”

Booo!

What’s wrong with the new Doctor Who that we’re getting through so many Doctors and companion? 🙁

It appears that after really long breaks, Lister, Rimmer, The Cat and Kryten are making a return to our screens in new Red Dwarf Special Episodes (on the “Dave” channel). These specials are due to be broadcast next year (2009) with the original cast (Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules and Robert Llewellyn) to celebrate 21 years of Red Dwarf and more episodes may follow if they are a success.

The BBC also reports that the ITV game show The Krypton Factor is also due to make a return in 2009.

Look out late8-090’s – you’re due for a revival!

TV: Penn and Teller Bulls**t

I’ve just heard a good quote from Penn And Teller’s BS! show:

We like to give you both sides of the issue, you’ve heard the a**hole, now let’s interview the guy that’s right!

– Penn Jillette, Penn and Teller’s BS, Series 5 Episode 9 (12th minute)- Energy Crises.

Nobody said Penn and Teller weren’t biased, but at least it’s clear which side of the fence they are on. The show may be a bit “in your face” and a little “breast heavy” this season, but it does give you a bit to think about and makes it clear were they are coming from.
