Fuckin' HBO by Al Swearengen	Aug 21st, 2008 04:56:07 PM
I don't have to tell you what hourlong drama series those cocksuckers should really be fuckin' attending to, huh?
Fuck HBO. by fiester	Aug 21st, 2008 05:19:20 PM
They need to fire their entire programming division and try and hire some folks from FX and AMC, cuz this shit ain't working anymore and they're blind if they can't see that when everyone else in America can.
PREACHER by Elemeno Pee	Aug 21st, 2008 05:20:18 PM
That is all we care about. Until then... HBO can't hold my interest.
What kind of sound effect will they use by JackRabbitSlim	Aug 21st, 2008 05:20:59 PM
for the brother splattering on the pavement after a 44 story highdive? I'm thinking ... watermelon, maybe cantaloupe. Although I get the feeling what we'll really get is a shot of brother looking sadly backwards, silence, curtain flapping before an open window then some kind of sweeping elegaic strings as Anderson clutches a sobbing momma. Meh.
Anderson Cooper by hefferee	Aug 21st, 2008 05:23:47 PM
Makes CNN watchable. So does that piece of ass that's on his show, Erica Hill.
Richard Stark Parker series by Beldo84	Aug 21st, 2008 05:28:10 PM
Hercules, did I dream it or did you not write a story a few years ago about HBO developing a series based around Richard Stark/Donald Westlake's Parker series? THAT was a great idea and there's enough source material to keep it going for at least three seasons before they have to start making stuff up on their lonesome.
AC is Gloria Vanderbilt's son? by phaedrus007	Aug 21st, 2008 06:11:59 PM
I had no idea. And now that I know, I don't care.
NOW THIS IS SOME INTERESTING NEWS by BringingSexyBack	Aug 21st, 2008 06:40:39 PM
The Vanderbilt family is fascinating. Great idea, finally.
Who gives a shit. by nyj_et	Aug 21st, 2008 07:37:53 PM
There's still no Deadwood movie.
That could be good by Larry of Arabia	Aug 21st, 2008 07:38:27 PM
The second richest person EVER marries his cousin. These people dominate around the same time of and using the mechanisms seen in the underrated "The Age of Innocence" as well as bust some union heads. In the end three (or four) of the children use their fortune to do well for themselves, the rest spend money so quickly it boggles the mind and the fortune is blown by the early 1900's.
Plus: How does Joel Silver get any work by nyj_et	Aug 21st, 2008 07:39:12 PM
after Speed Racer? And why did WB shove that crap down everyone's throat this summer and ignore Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?
You mean this WASN'T already made in like 1982? by DrManhattansUnit	Aug 21st, 2008 07:40:19 PM
Who the heck knew?
Jane Austin presents HBO by palewook	Aug 21st, 2008 07:52:44 PM
Lifetime is standard tier. if i wanted more vagina TV, I'd turn on lifetime. I won't pay HBO an additional monthly charge for it.
The Mole rocked, and Anderson was good on it. by DarthCorleone	Aug 21st, 2008 08:01:58 PM
I thought you liked that one, Herc. Plus, Anderson Cooper is doing pretty good for himself now.
I am still waiting for the HBO mini series... by mrfan	Aug 21st, 2008 08:18:00 PM
entitled: The History of AICN.
Vanderbilt family as lizard aliens... by MEMEOVORE	Aug 21st, 2008 08:57:29 PM
that rule the world in a secret cabal with the Vatican and the World Bank. You can peel their fake skin off if you scratch hard enough. Beast Master, Freddy and Michael Ironside form the resistance... Michael Ironside is still alive, right? Dude, I'd camp out for that one.
Man, HBO... by Banzai Rootskibango	Aug 21st, 2008 09:01:31 PM
...what the hell is going on over there? Was there like, some sort of under-the-table regime change or something? The only thing they have now is Entourage and the Conchords...
will it be called Hangin' with Mr. Cooper? by GLENN_THE_TOOL	Aug 21st, 2008 10:08:40 PM
Mark Curry will be so pissed.
Darth Corleone by Hercules	Aug 21st, 2008 10:52:10 PM
I did like the Cooper editions of The Mole, and I like Anderson Cooper generally.
This kind of shit is what's really killing the planet. by thebearovingian	Aug 21st, 2008 11:28:14 PM
Anderson Cooper has traveled the world continually over the past two decades. The earth has been dying over the past two decades... Anderson Cooper is killing the planet.
Make a Live Action King of the Hill by Eddie_Dane	Aug 22nd, 2008 12:04:03 AM
and cast Cooper as Boomhauer
Maybe we will find out who AC sucked off by WickedJacob	Aug 22nd, 2008 01:33:50 AM
. . . to get Aaron Brown's job. Brown was a tempered old-style newsman who tried to get into the underlying issues ala classic Koppel. AC is a talentless hypocrite who bashes other news shows for reporting fluff and then spends half the show on Britney and Lindsey. The only recompense is knowing that, due to contract, CNN to this day is still paying Brown a salary for a job he left 3 years ago.
They should get Alan Cumming by Jed Black	Aug 22nd, 2008 01:36:21 AM
to play Anderson Cooper. Cumming's just gay enough to pass as Cooper with out seeming too butch.
Cooper is a showboating assclown by Horace Cox	Aug 22nd, 2008 01:45:48 AM
That guy is a disgrace to journalism. I especially hate when he runs to the nearest hurricane (along with all the other gel boys and lens whores) just so he can shoot a standup in the high winds. Oooooooohh! The wind is whipping your rain poncho! How fucking original. All those asshole hurricane junkies need to get taken out live on the air by an uprooted tree. THAT would be must see TV.
The Hurricane thing is so true.. by liljuniorbrown	Aug 22nd, 2008 01:59:17 AM
During Katrina,that fucking tard Cooper was down the road from my house. If it wasn't for the fear or running over a live power line I wanted to drive by,get out of the car, and beat the fucking brakes off that poser. Whats the point? We know whats going on outside,we don't need some cock sucker standing outside just so that they can run back and brag about how they "rode the storm out". On another note, if HBO dosn't make that Preacher series soon, Showtime or someone else with some balls should do it proper.
Five Concepts HBO Must Produce by ElvisPresLeeHorsleyHarveyOswaldO prahWinFreeJackHorkheimer	Aug 22nd, 2008 02:56:14 AM
1. Preacher by Garth Ennis 2. Necroscope by Brian Lumley 3. The Other End by John Shirley 5. Moondance by S.P. Somtow
A Song of Ice And Fire by B Arthur	Aug 22nd, 2008 03:10:20 AM
HBO has been sitting on one of the best fantasy genre books for almost two years now. What gives? And I agree Preacher would be awesome. They have been all talk for a long time now. A Vanderbilt series could be good. But I wouldnt bet money on it seeing the light of day. Even if it goes into production this network has a horrific history of killing it's series for no good reason. They blame money. You're telling me that a company with 29+ million subscriber cannot handle a show budgeted at 4mil an episode? 48 million a season isn't even loose change to these guys. Instead we have to suffer through True Blood because Alan Ball is doing it? HBO, get some balls! Do something exciting! Take a risk. Or are you guys simply out to dupe subscribers into paying Time-Warner it's dividend money?
That's nice, HBO... by OBSD	Aug 22nd, 2008 06:19:58 AM
Now what about the fucking Preacher series you promised?
Too many vampires by ForkTongue	Aug 22nd, 2008 08:20:50 AM
With this True Blood series starting soon, I would be really surprised if the Preacher ever gets made. A Song of Fire and Ice would be incredible but I don't see why HBO would make that either. If they cut Deadwood because of the price of sets and costumes, than why make a fantasy epic that's all sets and costumes. Herc, should I waste my time on True Blood?
The internet is a strange place by smackfu	Aug 22nd, 2008 09:09:42 AM
where else could you suddenly find that you've gone from checking Anderson Cooper's ancestry to looking at pictures of Jodie Foster's new girlfriend?
No doubt by SuckLeTrou	Aug 22nd, 2008 09:28:00 AM
..this "in depth" series about the minutiae of his family will keep AC firmly in the closet.
Cooper blasted the Lohans on some talk show by Knobules	Aug 22nd, 2008 09:28:05 AM
So he is ok by me.
Anderson Cooper: reduced to having to do a job he loves by ArcadianDS	Aug 22nd, 2008 11:44:01 AM
he loves being a journalist. I dont know if he loved being the host for The Mole, but he's always been quoting as saying he really liked hosting the show. And personally, I think our beloved author of this hear fansite blog update would shit his diapers if NBC called him tomorrow and said, "can you host the next season of The Mole please?" - hopefully he'll say no. Wouldn't want him 'reduced' to such a menial vocation.
A series about Dale Cooper's family would be much better by SpyGuy	Aug 22nd, 2008 12:35:59 PM
* Clicks pocket cassette recorder * "Diane, 1:25 in the afternoon. Just finished a refreshing session of intercourse with Dale's mother. Time was 27 minutes, 43 seconds, using my standard techniques taught to me in the hidden city of Nanda Parbat. Achieved sexual climax while my wife did not, despite saying otherwise. I'm now off to enjoy a fresh slice of leftover cherry pie while watching a rerun of SCRUBS on Comedy Central. Perhaps I'll become relaxed enough to fall asleep in my recliner and dream of that strange little woman from another place inserting unusual objects between her legs..."
HBO dead? by B Arthur	Aug 22nd, 2008 08:47:22 PM
Yeah, fans of Preacher and A Song of Ice and Fire shouldn't hold their breathe. Not only do they have True Blood about to air, but they also just optioned Trent Reznors Year Zero. You will never see this network do two SciFi/Fantasy shows at the same time, let alone four. And you certainly will never see this network commit to multi-year runs of these expensive series. Look at the Sopranos, FOX was the network that actually developed and funded the pilot. When they got cold feet is when HBO stepped in and bought up a show already set up. The only show they did themselves and saw it all the way through was Six Feet Under, which they do deserve credit for. But they have 25-30 MILLION subscribers at any one time paying $15 a month! You do the math! Time Warner is sucking this network dry. How much do they reinvest back into their shows? Besides "The Pacific" this network is cheap as hell! HBO missed out on Dexter, Mad Men and countless other shows. The people running the network better get their act together, Showtime is kicking their butts and their subscription costs are cheaper.
AC did a great job of fellating Barack Obama... by nyj_et	Aug 23rd, 2008 12:09:38 AM
...then he asked, "would you like me to lick your balls, daddy?"
