Welcome to Smallville - Come for the Dukes and Stay for the Strippers

Comics Continuum reports that the November 3rd episode of Smallville sees the reunion of the original Dukes of Hazzard, John Schneider, who plays Clark Kent's pa, and guest Tom Wopat. At one point, the episode does involve them racing the Kansas backroads in a Dodge Charger. Zap2it - TV news covers the reunion aspect of the episode and shows these two still have the chemistry that made the Dukes of Hazzard so much fun.

And while we have the good old boys of Hazzard county back, why not give all those guys who decide to toon in out of nostalgia's sake a reason to stay.

Another aspect of the episode is Lois Lane, played by Erica Durance, goes undercover at a strip club. The2scoops has been assured this is integral to the ratings... er... storyline. It kind of reminds me of the Dukes of Hazzard: rednecks in fastcars and a little casual T & A. Click the link for more pictures of a blatant, yet inspired, grab for male viewers.

And just so no one can accuse the2scoops of not being an equal oppertunist, heres the link to the pictures of the recent episode that saw a buff and shirtless Aquaman for all the ladies. Who's the loser now Superfriends?

Buffy Movies Straight To DVD?

Sci Fi Wire -- The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel is reporting that there is a possibility characters from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel TV series may live on in a series of straight to DVD movies. This would tie in nicely with the persistent rumours of a Spike TV-movie, and I think may even provide an outlet for Serenity/Firefly stories.

Characters like Buffy and Willow may be unavailable, as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Allyson Hannigan have moved into prominent TV and film roles. However, given the rich and deep mythology of backstory Whedon and his writers have instilled in their world, several characters could hold their own in movies, such as Spike, Giles, or even Eliza Dushku's Faith. As Whedon said, "I have every intention of keeping the Buffyverse alive and not just in flashback tales that I'm not connected to." That's all well and good, but fan that I am, I can't see myself sitting through a Xandar movie.

Direct to DVD movies have largely been a dumping ground for shelved films and poor quality flicks with C-list actors, but creating a well crafted product with a built in fan-following could be a lucrative approach.

Damn It Light His Fire Already

I defy you to tell the difference between this and the real Morrison.

Serenity

Serenity - official site

Go. Go now. Bring a friend or 8. Just go see this movie. It is science fiction, it is comedy, action, western, drama. It is a work of love and heart. Forget the Jessica Alba not even-softcore diving pic, blow off Flightplan (trust me) and see a movie that will make you shiny shiny. If you haven't watched the series Firefly, don't worry. A couple of friends with no knowledge of the TV series went and they completely loved it ... and promptly bought the Firefly TV Series the next day. Most new fans will go and buy/rent/borrow the DVD's afterwards and will find the experience all the better.

Disappointed with the Star Wars prequels? Lost interest in Star Trek? Looking for a fix since the Lord of the Rings ended? Then go to your nearest cinema and watch Serenity and come out with a smile. It might not win Oscars, it may not change the world, but its a good movie that deserves interest.

Review is forthcoming, but do yourself a favour, support this film so it can be the new start to something wonderful for this crew. It was brought back because of the fans, cast, and creator love it. It just needs a bit more love to keep her flying.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
