With Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog airing on The CW earily this week, this seemed like a good time to post this. Be prepared to fall out of your chair laughing…
As we predicted earlier in the week, Taken 2’s extraordinarily strong performance at the box office has convinced Fox executives that there’s life in the franchise yet, with writer Robert Mark Kamen suggesting that a third film is moving forward.
Indeed, Kamen doesn’t make any bones about the motivation behind another sequel, admitting that the second film’s $100m global opening made everybody think twice.
Reading on, apparently Neeson isn’t sure he’s onboard. And honestly, I don’t have a lot of hope for a third film. I with they would just leave the franchise be now.
Warning: The following recap, by the very definition of the word “recap,” contains spoilers from NBC’s Revolution.
NBC’s Revolution, in its fourth outing, busted out one of the oldest tricks in the book: inviting us to care, more than we had done to date, about a major-ish character, before killing that person off.

But I wanted to share this because we had a special guest on the podcast which we recorded last night and which we will be releasing a little later today. This is from our friend Stewart Adams, formerly one of the…
Read The RestFox is going all the way with The Mindy Project, picking up the freshman comedy for a full 22-episode season.
Additionally, the network has ordered six additional episodes of fellow rookie Ben and Kate, bringing that sitcom’s Season 1 haul to 19.
Oh, I get the strategy now, Fox is canceling all the good shows and picking up really awful shows instead. If you need any proof of just how bad this show looks, I offer you this trailer (caution, possibly offensive references, particularly one toward the beginning when Mindy is “praying” about the type of man she would like God to bring her……

I believe Joseph saw this film last night. I have now caught the first Taken film via iTunes rental. It was a pretty good film, so I’m looking forward to Taken 2 which I should be able…
