Mika, You're My Hero

BAF Song List, Part 2

If you need more musical musings, here's the list by Fickle Me:

A Summer Listing

For the Build-A-Fic challenge, here's some musical inspiration.

Moving On-- TV edition

Another reason to tune in. Here's a little news from Ausiello:

Rumor: Men in Trees has hired former Gilmore Girls exec producer David Rosenthal.
Fact. He'll be a consulting producer, serving as MIT creator Jenny Bicks' "number two."

It's nice to know that Rosenthal is actually doing something that has legs of its own and a romance beat that he probably would be comfortable helming. He may only be serving as a consulting producer but I think he'll thrive in this environment.

A lot of people were upset when DR tried to resuscitate life into the last season of GG but he was shoved against a corner, in a spot that any talented writer/producer would have a hard time tigging themselves out of especvially if they're not the original producers/writers. Case in point X-Men 3. DISASTER.

At least the writers/producers of my former favorite shows have found solace in other places. Rob Thomas has Miss/Guided, Mark Piznarski (who Piz was named after in VM) has moved on to Friday Night Lights and Gossip Girl and of course, AS-P has her baby The Return of Jezebel James this fall.

Here's to interesting TV this fall!

Veronica Mars Still Lives On

Finally, CW has dropped the hammer and nailed in the last spike in the coffin. Veronica Mars as a TV show is dead.

Not that we had a chance, I guess. After 3 years of low viewership thanks to local channels airing baseball games, covering news and changing time slots without warning, the loyal fans had to rely on DVD, iTunes and piracy to get their hands on the latest chapter of the Neptune High gang.

It is sad to see the show go but Rob Thomas promised that Veronica Mars as we know it is not DEAD. Right now, he's trying to work out a deal with DC comics to keep our detective thriving. And he's still pumped up with making a feature film featuring our girl, Ronnie.

So we get to see her live on.

Now if we could just get more information on Miss/Guided, I will be really happy.

Kristin Bell Missing Veronica

It's nice to hear that Kristen Bell has fond memories of her character, Veronica.

I wish certain actors (someone I won't mention but was on the TV show Gilmore Girls) would be a little more appreciative of the shows that made them who they are on the TV screen and help them transition into movies.

Since we're on GG topics, here's a new interview with Lauren Graham courtesy of Capitol File Magazine.

Uhm, as a side note, did you know that Milo Ventimiglia isn't the only Hero that appeared in Gilmore Girls? Hiro nakamura (yes, Masi Oka) was in Gilmore Girls too!

I happen to stumble on the episode where Lorelai drags Rory into the road trip to Harvard. Guess wh Rory was discussing with in the lecture hall? Yep, you guessed it, mister "Yata!" himself.

Heehee... Made me all gooey.

Movies to Look Forward to:

Fanboy
Evan Almighty
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Yay! Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrera)
