I'm Sorry For My 2 Week Absence!!!

Hello Bloggerverse (the reason I haven't been blogging for the past two weeks is actually because I had to go to Washington D.C. to talk to Barack Obama about making a new law making Bloggerverse a word...still hasn't been approved by Congress)!

Alright, so seriously, I am super duper sorry that I haven't blogged for 2 weeks! First I was home, then I had a bunch of projects due and it was just really hectic. I had many people tell me that they missed reading my blog posts, which made me really happy, so this blog post is dedicated to you true Phans our there! (you see what i did there? I put Phil and fans together to make Phans!) Anyway, I have some pretty awesome and interesting news to tell you guys about, so welcome back and read away!

WARNER BROS. WANTS TO REMAKE WIZARD OF OZ
W/ ROBERT ZEMECKIS DIRECTING
Story from SlashFilm

Original Wizard of Oz

Trust me, when I first heard about this, I was just as surprised as you are now. A remake of one of the biggest classics of all time? Yes, there has been Wicked, The Wiz, Tin Man, but these are all a different telling of the story. They now want to legitimately remake one of the greatest musicals ever! The geniuses over at Warner Bros. don't want to change anything, they want to use the same script as the 1939 version of the movie.

Robert Zemeckis is a great director, case in point, Back To The Future, but is he seriously going to try and remake such a classic movie? I can't even believe somebody thought this was a good idea and that they might actually go along with it. My dad is a huge Wizard of Oz fan and I know him and many other true Oz fans will probably be very pissed if this happens. Alright, so the special effects could be 1000% better now, but who cares? It was the late 1930s and that's what's so great about this movie. I really think that Warner Bros. should just throw this idea away before it goes any further, what do you think?


"JOEY" TO STAR IN NEW SHOW ON SHOWTIME
Story from Vulture

Episodes Logo

Matt LeBlanc, Joey from Friends, is trying to make his comeback with a new show on Showtime called Episodes. Matt will play himself on the show. His character is basically trying to do the same thing that he's trying to do in real life, make a comeback. It's art imitating life, isn't it beautiful. 

A British couple is turning its British TV-show into an American Sitcom, much like what they did with The Office, and they need an actor for one of the main characters, and Matt Leblanc is the last person on their list. It's really weird seeing "Joey" older and grayer, but he seems very funny in this. He makes fun of himself, as do the other characters. It's seems like very funny and awkward humor which is always great. Plus they have British people in the show and we know that the Brits are always hysterical, so I really think this show has potential. It is going to air  on Sundays at 9:30 PM and the series starts on January 9th. Don't worry, I'll remind you about the show when we get closer to it. I think I'll give Matt LeBlanc another chance, what about you? Here's the trailer for Matt LeBlanc's new show, Episodes:

FOUR LOKO TO REMOVE CAFFEINE
Story from NY Times

Four Loko

I'm going to guess that most of you have heard of the drink Four Loko. If you have not, basically all you need to know is that one can of Four Loko is the equivalent of four beers, a red bull, and one cup of coffee. Now first off, think about this, coffee and red bull both speed up your heart rate, while beer slows it down. What is your body supposed to do when it takes in both caffeine and alcohol? It doesn't know! Hence, why people have died from drinking this drink.

Apparently the company who makes Four Loko, Phusion Projects, says they will be taking the caffeine and two other ingredients out of their drinks. My question is why didn't the FDA pick up on this sooner? How did they actually allow this drink to be put on the market? But thankfully, finally something is happening and hopefully this will make things better. Many college campuses and even entire states have started to ban the drink from being sold there. Drinking should be done responsibly and a company like Four Loko is really not helping the cause. I'm not straight-edge, and I'm not trying to preach anything here, but all I'm saying is a drink like Four Loko is just stupid. College Humor has the same sentiments as me and made a video of an "Honest Four Loko Commercial" which is below (please remember everyone, drink responsibly...you only have one life to live):

YOUR HIGHNESS HITS THEATERS THIS APRIL
More on IMDB

James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and Danny McBride in Your Highness 

James Franco, Danny McBride, Zooey Deschanel, and Natalie Portman...plus knights who smoke pot?!?!?! I want to buy my tickets now!!! Your Highness is coming out this April and is sure to be a stoner classic. There's "Wayne and Garth", "Bill and Ted", "Jay and Silent Bob", "Dale and Sal", and soon, there will be "Fabious and Thadeous". Franco (Fabious) and McBride (Thadeous) play two brothers who must go on a quest to save their father's kingdom and Fabious' love, Zooey Deschanel.

This movie is just awesome for the fact that the characters talk as if they're from Medieval Times, but they also curse and say stuff that we say now. It's Princess Bride meets Pineapple Express and what a coincidence, the director of Pineapple Express directed this as well. I really think that this will be one of the funniest movies of 2011. Not only is it a rockstar cast, but the writing is great and it really looks wonderful. Plus, Natalie Portman is in a thong, so you know this movie is gonna be awesome! When action meets comedy, its bound to be hilarious and I think that will happen with this. Your Highness comes to theaters April 8th 2011, will you go see it? Check out the trailer below:

GLORY DAZE PREMIERE LAST NIGHT
Glory Daze Website

Glory Daze: Tuesdays @ 10 PM on TBS

So a couple of weeks ago I posted about a new show called Glory Daze that is about college and takes place in the 80s. The series premiere was last night and what I will say is the show definitely has promise. It was funny and I really enjoyed it. I think they need to work on it a little more, but it is very well done and not like the usual shows on TV, especially visually. All of the classic 80s songs that they use in the show make it even better. There are references to things such as "electronic mail", what we know as e-mail, and the characters think it's a crazy thing. It's just funny poking jokes at the future. Also the show has some great people, including the 4 main characters Drew Seeley, Kelly Blatz, Matt Bush, and Hartley Sawyer, who I think are great, they also have Tim Meadows (Mean Girls), Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), and Cheri Oteri (SNL). If you didn't get a chance to see the show, you should really check it out, it was actually pretty funny.

Here's a picture of a dog and a cat wrestling...or are they?!

Anyway, I'm sorry once again that I haven't posted in 2 weeks, but I will really try and keep posting daily. Tomorrow I'm not so sure though, because I have class, acapella, and then HARRY POTTER 7 B*TCHES!!! But I will try! Thank you sooo much for reading my blog! I love all of my Phans!!!

If you like what you read today, come back and read again...and if you didn't "GO F*** YOURSELF!" Only joking, come back tomorrow and see if you like that. These are the things that I live, see, and hear everyday, they interest me and I hope they interest you. Thanks for checking out my blog!

I find this interesting, so you should too :-D
