Hasta la, oh hey, what's this?

FOX just unveiled new posters for the January 14th premiere of The Sarah Conner Chronicles and this one instantly guarantees my viewership! Not only do I heart Summer Glau (from Firefly!) but I kinda dig the concept of continuing the Terminator adventures, sans Ah-nold the Governator.

T3 was pretty crappy (although the liquid metal Terminatrix was pretty bad ass) so this could be a great way to reboot the franchise outside the theater.

And President Palmer wasn't really shot, he was just pretending

-Kiefer Sutherland obviously agrees with the fans complaints about the absurd lengths 24's writers have stooped to, in an attempt to resuscitate their show

Not one damn original EYE-dea in Hollywood

Along with the majority of the horror movie fan community, I am of the opinion that American remakes of Japanese horror movies have overstayed their welcome. But that's not stopping Hollywood from continuing to produce them, mostly because of people like me who continue to see them! Damn it, I'm my own worst enemy!

And while people bemoan the lack of originality in movies today, allow me to jump on the bandwagon saying that there isn't even an ounce of originality in publicizing movies today! It's already been made known that Beowulf is blatantly ripping off 300's television ads . At least that makes sense, 300 did phenomenally well--but to rip off a crappy movies' marketing strategy makes no sense. And with that, I give you this week's copycat award:

Hand in an eye? Check!
Title placed in the lower 3/4, just below the actresses name? Check!
Guarantee that I will spend $10 on opening weekend? Check!

But it's not the poster for The Eye that's guaranteeing my attendance; it's the ridiculousness below

Something tells me the movie where Jessica Alba yells angrily into an oven isn't that one that's going to win her an Oscar!

God Bless Felicity Huffman

This is how I like to remember Felicity, as Dana Whitiker, sitting behind the controls running Sports Night. Not as the overly primped star of Desperate Housewives. No matter how good the show is (and believe the hype, this season the dramedy is totally back on its A-game) it will always feel like this incredibly gifted actor is slumming it. But that hasn't stopped her from continuing to make me laugh on a weekly basis and the clip below is a great way to get through the mid-week doldrums.

A quick bit o' background: Felicity's character Lynette was diagnosed with cancer last season and in an effort to beat the nausea associated with the disease, her mother spiked her brownies with marijuana. In a pot-induced funk, Lynette escapes the house and stumbles into a neighborhood game of charades. Let the hilarity ensue

And learn how to smile with your eyes

The Glamor Women of the Year Awards were last night in NYC and they celebrated the triumphs of the human spirit and honored women who survived Ugandan genocide, supplying medicine to third world countries and sleeping with Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Garner was saved for last (as the best typically is) and as my friend astutely pointed out, she kinda missed the point of the evening. She may hem and haw about what a "real person" she is, but below is a recounting of the moment when Sydney Bristow let out her inner Hollywood Diva:

"oh, and Jen Garner also made this comment, that I'm sure she meant as a joke, but said to people who obviously dont give a shit. ' Always hold your award like so, it shows off your dress and makes your arms look better.' The african women forced into war as slaves and then raped and help hostage for years, who were then shunned by their families upon their return home, most likely did not care about showing off their dress, Jen"

But they were totally stoked when she taught them the Thriller dance from 13 Going on 30
