SEPT. 4, 2009: Fox adds on-air tweets to `Fringe’ reruns
NEW YORK — Summer reruns are ho-hum television, but Fox is trying out a possible solution: Add Twitter.
On the network’s repeat broadcast of its supernatural drama “Fringe” on Thursday night, tweets were added on-screen to the show. The tweets (messages of 140 characters or less from the microblogging Web site Twitter) ran throughout the show on the bottom third of the screen…
June 19, 1995: Sci-Fi Channel Allows ‘Chats’ While a Show Is in Progress
We know that science-fiction pioneers — at least since “Star Trek” — have a mission to boldly go where none have gone before.
That’s what the Sci-Fi Channel is trying to do by letting computer users “chat” about a television program in progress and watch their comments scroll along the bottom of the TV screen almost simultaneously as the program unfolds…
once again, the internets provide me with essential things i didn’t even know i needed.
The Echo Park Time Travel Mart (826 LA) has joined forces with the Federation for the Advancement of Time to release a new poster series.
i picked up the last round of 826LA posters. gotta get some of these too…
Click a random link off Twitter, learn the real reason why Van Halen banned brown M&Ms backstage. (Their rationale is actually really smart and well-thought-out!)
that’s just brilliant.
the new season can’t get here fast enough.
(that’s supposed to be me holding the bourbon rocks, btw.)
my fondness for faux retro posters and book covers is well documented in this blog.
so imagine my delight when i came across these cleverly updated war propaganda posters by artist brian lane winfield moore. this is my favorite visually, but the most clever has got to be “loose tweets sink fleets.”
"if anybody thinks [bringing summer glau onto dollhouse] hasn’t occurred to me already then they have not met me…summer would be perfect to play an active, but she’s done that [type of role] a lot. i’d rather see her play someone who talks too much. the most fun i have is when i get somebody who’s good and comfortable at doing something, and then i make them do something else."

memo to joss: i know you love girls who kick ass. i do too. but kicking ass is not the same as having range. i mean, it’s not like smg has proven to be the second coming of meryl streep.
get some help, quickly. find someone whose casting instincts you trust. maybe j.j. abrams. ask them if they would stake their primetime network series on the proposition that summer glau posses some secret character actor skills no one has heretofore detected. go, ask. i’ll wait.
dollhouse got a very unlikely 11th hour reprieve, despite the fact that the smart and lovely eliza dushku has slightly less range than jiminy cricket. please don’t double down on glau.
