Music Monday: Super Bass by Nicki Minaj

While VH1 is trying to mathmatically figure out the definitive Song of Summer 2011, I've already decided that this is my personal summer jam. I'm loving Nicki Minaj and Super Bass is just so fun and catchy.

Fox's Fall 2011 TV Premiere Schedule: The New Girl gets prime real estate

Fox just announced their fall schedule and I'm really looking forward to their new shows. Last season all the networks had nearly all of their shows debuting within a single week, and I think Fox suffered the most because of that. With Lone Star failing after just two airings, they've learned and have spaced out the debuts so they aren't flooding the audience.

Their new shows that I'm most looking forward to are The New Girl and Terra Nova. The New Girl gets the sweet time slot of being right after Glee, and I think that's going to be a good match given the young, female skewing audience. Also, as Glee's one of their biggest hits, it shows they've got faith in The New Girl to retain and entertain that audience.

It's an interesting choice to have Terra Nova at the 8pm slot. With new shows, I feel it's always better for them to have a strong lead in show, rather than a lead out show. An 8pm slot means people have to seek out Terra Nova specifically in order to catch it. This show is their biggest new show, so I'm sure they'll be doing some big marketing push for it. They're already playing a ton of TV spots for it and since this was supposed to air last fall, critics have been curious about the show for a while. Let's hope that the extra time they took for special effects was enough and that it has a strong story in place. I'll guess we'll find out on Sept 26!

Ricky & Ryan
Mandy Moore Jazz
Song: Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer
Ricky's jump into the splits was impressive. Otherwise, nothing really stood out to me and thought it was just average for the show. Nigel thought they were on the Hot Tamale Train, with it being so hot and raunchy, with huge sexual tension "like something between Mary and [Nigel]." Mary shrieked that she's addicted to them and thought Ryan was a "warrior vixen" while Ricky was in character the whole time. Debbie Reynolds was hilarious: "I've never seen anyone dance sexier, I mean you fell out of your top, you fell out of your bottom, you gave it your all!"

Good Deal: 2001: A Space Odysessy on Blu-Ray for $9.99

This classic science fiction is a steal this week, at only $9.99 from Amazon!

Check out the editorial review from Amazon:

When Stanley Kubrick recruited Arthur C. Clarke to collaborate on "the proverbial intelligent science fiction film," it's a safe bet neither the maverick auteur nor the great science fiction writer knew they would virtually redefine the parameters of the cinema experience. A daring experiment in unconventional narrative inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel," 2001 is a visual tone poem (barely 40 minutes of dialogue in a 139-minute film) that charts a phenomenal history of human evolution. From the dawn-of-man discovery of crude but deadly tools in the film's opening sequence to the journey of the spaceship Discovery and metaphysical birth of the "star child" at film's end, Kubrick's vision is meticulous and precise. In keeping with the director's underlying theme of dehumanization by technology, the notorious, seemingly omniscient computer HAL 9000 has more warmth and personality than the human astronauts it supposedly is serving. (The director also leaves the meaning of the black, rectangular alien monoliths open for discussion.) This theme, in part, is what makes 2001 a film like no other, though dated now that its postmillennial space exploration has proven optimistic compared to reality. Still, the film is timelessly provocative in its pioneering exploration of inner- and outer-space consciousness. With spectacular, painstakingly authentic special effects that have stood the test of time, Kubrick's film is nothing less than a cinematic milestone--puzzling, provocative, and perfect. --Jeff Shannon

This is a must own for any sci-fi completist.
