Scrubs, Iron Man, New Line and Amy Adams

Scrubs to ABC? - With NBC continuing to treat Scrubs with zero respect (why end a 7 year tradition), it appears that ABC is willing to take up the slack and order an additional 18 episode season so the show can sign off with the honor it has earned. Doesn't hurt that ABC's comedy line-up is in its death throes. However, as Las Vegas shows, NBC seems to take pride in treating its shows like shit so it wouldn't surprise me if it renews the show for the remaining season, treats it like crap, and then tries to trick the audience into thinking it was gone forever. On a side note, the show returns April 10th with 5 pre-strike episodes.

New Iron Man Trailer - I have to admit at first I wasn't particularly excited about this movie but now starting to change my mind. It looks like it will be darn entertaining. I just wish the idiots at the WB would learn to use their DC properties as well as Marvel does.

New Line Fallout - With Time Warner absorbing New Line, the fall out has begun. Bob Shaye, the CEO of New Line, the gambler who greenlighted the now legendary Lord of the Rings Trilogy, who started on A Nightmare on Elm Street and generally is the man that got New Line where it is (the good and the bad), has been forced to resign. I think it is a shame because something like Lord of the Rings would never have existed under the traditional studio system. In addition, and ironically, the firing of Shaye will probably help clear the way to get the Hobbit films produced since his creative accounting was a large source of the legal problems plaguing the project. Also it appears that New Line will return to its horror, cheap flicks origins from the 80s so no more Lord of the Rings scale projects which will probably end any chances of a Golden Compass sequel. Also ironic considering its overseas success which New Line and hence Time Warner made no money on, may have been the final straw.

Amy Adams and David Letterman - The two make fun of the mistakes Lisa Rinna made on the Oscar red carpet. Not posting because of that but because Amy just looks so damn amazing. It’s the lust, not the funny that got me to watch the video.
