Will someone please put Spielberg back in his box?
In a story at io9.com about televisions shows that “Could Save Small-Screen Scifi” I can’t believe this was on the list:
Steven Spielberg’s untitled alien invasion series, starring Noah Wylie. We can’t wait until this show gets a title that’s less of a mouthful.
via 18 Upcoming TV Shows That Could Save Small-Screen Scifi – Television – io9.
Didn’t the world learn anything from Taken? Namely, that if you give Spielberg small-screen time he sucks it up and pisses it away. Twenty full hours of screen time devoted to a concept, but completely lacking in Plot, Conflict and Resolution. Taken wouldn’t have gotten a passing grade at a third rate film school.
I do not want to see anything ‘new’ by Spielberg, especially since he has already screwed up his chance at an ‘alien invasion series’. Alien Apocalypse, which despite having Bruce Campbell, was pretty horrible; but it was pure Oscar material compared to Taken.
What I want is my twenty hours of my life back. Damn you, Spielberg, give them back!
The International Rule Against Stealing Images
There once was a website called “The International Rules” where the owner posts his ‘rules’ on life. He says he is going to turn his rules into a published book. He also deep-linked a picture of me into one of his posts without proper attribution. Such things garner my retribution. mod_rewrite is my friend, and Gilbert is my bitch.
I wonder, will he publish this page (NSFW now that I’ve had my way with it) in his book as-is?
