Friday Links
Did not have time to do a recap on Wednesday’s Friday night Lights (I’ll probably save it for next Friday) so instead I will offer up some compelling links to close out the week:
If you’re wondering why we often experience huge lapses in between Office episodes, this might be partly responsible. Judging from Rainn Wilson’s acting decisions though, I feel like they might have a Friends like resume when it comes to film.
I am hesitant to even post a link with numerous spoilers about the upcoming final (half) season of The Sopranos, but click on this link with extreme caution. (Note: I absolutely refuse to read this, do so at your own peril and please don’t summarize it in the comments section. Thanks).
Yet another fledgling actor has been picked up for DUI. I am sensing a correlation here between falling celebrity status and alcohol related legal issues. Can’t quite put my finger on it…
One of my favorite television writers discusses the creative originality of Friday Night Lights.
And finally, Real World casting directors have decided to begin seeking out “real people” for upcoming seasons of the aging reality series. I assume their intepretation of “real people” are those who occasionally go see a movie on Tuesday night instead of getting rip-roaring plastered, but the way the series has been for the passed five or six years, I think the producers have made their bed, now must lie in it.
Audience members who enjoyed the show in the early-mid 90’s are not coming back, so they might as well cling to the younger viewers who enjoy the continuously inebriated melodrama. Though I think at this point the Bunim/Murray Company is worried about a catastrophic lawsuit of some kind or someone’s untimely demise. As stated before, I think this Denver cast is the most unstable in the history of the series, I am sure that will make Tyrie’s, Brooke’s and Jenn’s parents all proud that their children were members of the cast that forced the producers to say, “Maybe we should look for some ‘real people’ next time”. Now that, my friends, is emotionally crippled.
