The episode is a kind of spoof of "Cloverfield", a 2008 monster horror film, using the involvement of Stan's dad Randy and the giant pig.<br /><br />The situation in "Pandemic" is getting out of control and people are struggling to fight it or to save themselves. While at the same time, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman are trying to take some advantages from the chaos.<br /><br />The sequel episode of "Pandemic", called "I'm So Startled", will continue the misfortunate situation which is used by the boys to make some money that seems easy and profitable to get. They have asked Craig to join their plan because the guy has something that is needed to make their dream comes true.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00019412.html"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">....more</span></a>Dave and Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07278026466850626254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4744279310061410453.post-47763175561453571442008-10-13T19:59:00.000-07:002008-10-13T20:07:16.913-07:00It's Been A Fun Ride<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wvoLtwni0kc/SPQMlbCGHcI/AAAAAAAARy4/uSGf9tD6VZA/s1600-h/cloverfield-monster-head-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wvoLtwni0kc/SPQMlbCGHcI/AAAAAAAARy4/uSGf9tD6VZA/s400/cloverfield-monster-head-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256840502099451330" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Bye!</span><br /></div><br />Hello gang.

Abrams</span> about the upcoming Fox TV show <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Fringe."</span> We get from Abrams what to expect from the mysterious new show and the influences that help to bring it to the screen. <blockquote>We recently caught up with the busy <span style="font-weight: bold;">J.J. Abrams</span> to talk about his new television series Fringe, which he co-created with his frequent collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Alias, Mission Impossible III and the upcoming Star Trek).<br /><br />Fringe centers on three characters – FBI agent Olivia Dunham (newcomer <span style="font-weight: bold;">Anna Torv</span>), scientist Dr. Walter Bishop (Lord of the Rings' John Noble) and Bishop's son Peter (Dawson's Creek's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joshua Jackson</span>), as they investigate some very strange occurrences.<br /><br />Abrams, who of course co-created Lost, is an executive producer on Fringe, and during our conversation we talked about what his ongoing involvement will be with the new series, the inevitable comparisons Fringe already is getting to The X-Files, and how he came to cast Torv – the latest in Abrams' successful run of casting then-unknowns as the female leads on his series, which has previously included Keri Russell (Felicity), Jennifer Garner (Alias) and Evangeline Lilly (Lost)<br /><br /><b>Question: How did <i>Fringe</i> come about? What was the inspiration for it?</b><br /><br /><b>J.J. Abrams:</b> It was really just Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and myself just hanging out and talking about the kind of show we'd love to see on the air. For better or worse, like most of the things I do, it just comes from stuff that I'd love to watch. It's sort of a boring answer, but that's kind of what the truth is!<br /><br /><b>Question: What will we see on the show on a weekly basis? What's the core of the show?</b><br /><br /><b>Abrams:</b> At the core of the show are three very distinct characters – this young woman, who's an FBI agent; this really eccentric, nutty and until recently institutionalized scientist; and his somewhat troubled and estranged son. [It's] this trio going up against this very shadowy network of [what are] essentially researchers, who are playing with science and pushing it in ways that are increasingly terrifying. And these three are basically the good guys who try to police them. <b><br /></b></blockquote><blockquote> (...continue <a href="http://tv.ign.com/articles/877/877771p1.html"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">J.J.

While surfing around I heard that in honor of Cloverfield's May 22nd release in Australia, some new videos to promote it were released. Well, I was pointed to IGN's website, where I found these:<br /><a href="http://media.dvd.ign.com/articles/873/873598/vids_1.html">http://media.dvd.ign.com/articles/873/873598/vids_1.html</a><br />Basically, they are videos of Cloverfield attacking Sydney, with several "buy the cloverfield DVD" subliminal messages. You can watch and download all six videos from the IGN website.

Abrams "Fringe." </span><br /><br />We know that Joshua Jackson is one of the names set to star in the show which is shooting in Toronto, Canada. Now we know more of the story with the script of the pilot being let out for some critics to look over. One who writes for Zap2it sums "Fringe" up as " <span style="font-style: italic;">an </span><em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">X-Files</em><span style="font-style: italic;"> meets </span><em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Altered States</em><span style="font-style: italic;"> meets </span><em style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Alias</em><span style="font-style: italic;"> vibe that's immediately familiar and comfortable</span>."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Altered States,</span> for you younger folk, is a 1980 William Hurt flick about a research scientist who believes in different states of consciousness and he uses a sensory deprivation tank and hallucinogenic drugs to find the ultimate truth. But soon his mind-altering experiments get out of control.<br /><br />Here's the rest of the article that deals with "<a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/scifi/2008/05/straight-from-t.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fringe</span></a>":<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fringe Written by J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman<br />What It's About:</span> When something disturbing, unexplainable and just a bit icky happens to the passengers on an international flight, FBI Agent Olivia Warren (Torv) begins an investigation that leads her to Dr. Walter Bishop (Noble), a renegade scientist whose unorthodox experiments into fringe phenomena led to arrests and eventually institutionalization. Warren can only get Bishop out with the help of his estranged son Peter (Jackson), a young man with a genius IQ, but questionable morals and motivation. The son isn't ready to reconcile with his father, the father isn't ready to be reintegrated into the outside world and Olivia isn't ready to serve as babysitter, but they form an unlikely team. How does the airplane tragedy relate to The Pattern, a spate of unexplained occurrences sweeping the world? And what does any of this have to do with the mysterious Prometheus Corporation, one of the world's most forward-thinking companies? And what do we make of Broyles (Reddick), the head of the Homeland Security's newly formed Fringe Division?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How It Reads:</span> The script I read feels like an early draft. It's rife with typos and comes in at more than 110 pages, far longer than any two-hour pilot could handle. Once 20 pages of the script are trimmed, I'm assuming the pilot will play far better. The script has an X-Files meets Altered States meets Alias vibe that's immediately familiar and comfortable. The actual plot of the pilot could probably have fit into a standard hour, but Abrams and Company are making the effort to give the material a global scale and the script plants at least a half-dozen potential running mysteries that will allow Fringe to have both serialized elements and also freak-of-the-week plots. The set-up of these three individuals against a vast corporate/government conspiracy has been fruitful for Abrams in the past and there's no reason to believe that it won't work here. While Abrams has always been able to write carefully delineated female characters, Olivia is initially the weakest link in the show's core trio, another strong, career-minded female whose personal life threatens to undermine her professional prospects. The inevitability of a strained will-they/won't-they romance between Olivia and Peter already has me rooting for an expanded role for Astrid, the FBI underling to be played by Jasika Nicole.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How It Might Play:</span> For FOX, the best thing about Fringe -- other than getting into the J.J. Abrams business, of course -- is that the series has the potential to partner with almost any established show on its schedule, depending on how they spin it. It's the story of two bickering partners solving crimes and flirting? Team it with Bones. It's the story of a brilliant and eccentric man with limited social skills? Let's match it with House. It's about a strong, single woman doing whatever she has to do to save the world? Sounds like a match with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles</span>. While I can't speak for Torv, the other lead roles seem perfectly cast, though Fringe isn't going to be sold as a star-driven show. It's going to be sold as FOX's attempt to reclaim the X-Files demo that the network has jeopardized with the swift cancellation of too many shows from folks like Whedon and Tim Minear. The script lends itself to a large-scale pilot and it should leave viewers knowing exactly what to expect in the episodes to come, which is more than can be said for...</blockquote></div>Be sure to check out the rest of the article to see the script review of another interesting show of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Joss Whedon</span> series <span style="font-weight: bold;">"<a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/scifi/2008/05/straight-from-t.html">Dollhouse</a>.</span>"Dave and Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07278026466850626254noreply@blogger.com0
