Aqua Teen movie will screen in Boston

by Adam Finley, posted Apr 12th 2007 4:45PM

aqua teenIf you live in the Boston area and were afraid you might miss out on the premiere of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, you can rest easy. Despite Mayor Thomas M. Menino asking theaters not to screen the movie after the publicity stunt turned "bomb" scare that resulted in Turner paying two million in damages to the city, and the resignation of the head of Cartoon Network, local theaters have decided to go ahead and show the movie anyway.

News is a gas

gas pumpIf you've ever wished there was a way to kill time while pumping gas, other than staring off into space and picking your nose, which is my preferred method of killing time, NBC Universal Television Stations group and VST Media Network may have a solution for you. They're equipping gas pumps in select areas with tiny screens which will broadcast three-minute news, sports, and entertainment briefs in markets with affiliate stations owned and operated by NBC. Right now only people in Los Angeles can see the screens, though more are expected to pop up in San Francisco and San Diego this year. The screens will eventually be added to other gas stations across the country. Apparently, the three-minute length is how long it takes to fill a typical gas tank. I wonder if they'll have longer versions for truck drivers.

Things I Hate About TV: The 'what's next' bug thing

by Anna Johns, posted Apr 4th 2006 9:20AM


The moving graphic in the lower left corner of my television screen has officially gotten out of hand (I think Adam would agree). Rather than just letters rolling in and out to tell me what's up next, it has become quite distracting. I realize that's the point: to get me to notice the crap in the corner, but I'd rather watch the show. Most recently, I was watching something on VH1, when a purple 'Z' actually whooshed up and covered the entire screen and then faded away to tease whatever the hell it was teasing. I don't even know what it was for, I just know it was too much! Also, on USA Network lately, Wynonna and Cowboy Troy keep dancing around in the lower lefthand corner of my screen to tell me about the upcoming season of Nashville Star. Conveniently, they kept popping up when subtitles were on the screen. Arrrgh! And, guess what? The network played promos for Nashville Star in every break. So, give me a break.

I guess this is the networks' way of getting around that pesky TiVo fast-forward that we're all so fond of.

Is The Simpsons movie finally happening?

by Adam Finley, posted Apr 1st 2006 10:00AM

simpsonsHow long have they been talking about a Simpsons movie? About twenty billion years now? It seems us fans have been bombarded with supposed "real news," rumors, and gossip about our favorite yellow family making it to the big screen for longer than we can remember. At one point I even heard they would be coming to the big screen in the form of short segments to be shown before the feature.

Well, according to reports, a teaser for an honest to goodness, bona fide Simpsons movie was shown before Ice Age 2: The Meltdown. I didn't see this movie because I hated the first Ice Age, but did any of you happen to see it? Can you verify the claim? If eveything they're reporting is true, we should be seeing the film in July 2007.
