This was the guy who said, when Scarlett Johansson was willing to do a nude scene in "The Island," No thanks, Scarlett. Doofus.<BR/><BR/>Garry Marshall has done a good job, as has Carrie Fisher and most of the other guest directors. Bay's appearance was just shameless plugging by Fox, which is producing "Transformers" (which doesn't look like a great film to me, Zod, no offense).<BR/><BR/>On the other subject, I'm still amazed at what the Jericho fans accomplished. It's a testament to both the fans of the show and the network for listening to their viewership and taking the risk. Hopefully, this will inspire other fan campaigns in the future.Phillip Ramatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739438191519332313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-87712000029986517802007-06-07T21:36:00.000-04:002007-06-07T21:36:00.000-04:00As a die hard Spurs, fan, let me add:GO SPURS GO!As a die hard Spurs, fan, let me add:<BR/><BR/>GO SPURS GO!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-76447704338554906392007-06-07T20:51:00.000-04:002007-06-07T20:51:00.000-04:00Phillip, first and foremost I am really sorry what...Phillip, first and foremost I am really sorry what happened to you with the flooding but at least Insurance will buy you new furniture so overall, it will be a good thing...longer term<BR/><BR/>I have to say, I am hit or miss with Bay movies (I was a college Junior when "The Rock" came out and I certainly liked it better at age 20 then I do now at age 32) but to be honest, "Transformers" LOOKS like the best Summer film. <BR/><BR/>I am not saying it's going to be the best movie of the year, but I am more excited then the endless sequels. Seriously, Spider-Man, Pirates, Shrek...they all sucked. Enough with the damned sequels. Thank goodness for anything original. <BR/><BR/>The best movies I have seen this Summer (so far)? Knocked Up and Waitress. Guess what? Neither is a sequel.<BR/><BR/>Re: The "Jericho" Campaign<BR/><BR/>Wow, I am stunned beyond belief. As a huge fan of the show, I am thrilled. Yeah, I would rather have 7 episodes (or possibly more?) then just a TV movie but I really was going to "settle" for a TV movie. I can't believe it.<BR/><BR/>What's more is I am even more impressed with CBS. <BR/><BR/>This is a network I bash regularly for getting such huge ratings on boring drivel like "Criminal Minds" and any of the "CSI" shows (not to mention really horrible dreck like "Survivor"). <BR/><BR/>Now, it still saddens me that too much of these dull shows are getting boffo ratings, BUT, the way Nina Tassler and CBS treated a show that was different and interesting and not like what's typically filling CBS' airwaves, is beyond heartwarming and classy. <BR/><BR/>They are the network that least has to keep a quality low rated show (unlike NBC which is forced to keep high quality but low rated shows on air like "30 Rock" and "Friday Night Lights") but they did anyway. CBS may still contain the least amount of shows I personally watch ("Jericho" and "How I Met Your Mother") but I stand up and applaud them for being willing to keep around a series (Jericho) that they clearly didn't have to keep. Amen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-52589754898150367942007-06-07T19:36:00.000-04:002007-06-07T19:36:00.000-04:00I'm not much of a Bay guy either; even "The Rock,"...I'm not much of a Bay guy either; even "The Rock," which I loved when I was a young college man pretty much grates on my nerves at this point. I especially loved when he talked about tightening up on their shots; maybe he should follow some of his own advice. But I get it, "Transformers" is coming out in a few weeks, blah, blah, blah. But I was thinking who the hell wants to be the next Michael Bay anyways?<BR/><BR/>I do however love the insight Gary Marshall has been giving. It really makes me want to like his films more.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.com
