Chuck News is Good News

Back from my vacation and there's oh so much stuff that I could cover. So why not get started with a personal favorite? The gang over at My Hollywood Dream has posted some links concerning the excellent television series Chuck. Nearly destroyed by NBC's apathy, a very loyal fan base made sure that the show would return after a number of initiatives. Check the link out for, well, more links. I can hardly wait for the new season! How will Chuck's new knowledge affect his life? Does he need Sarah and Casey any longer? Will we be seeing more of Chuck's father? And, most important, how about more scenes of Sarah getting ready for dates? I think you know what I'm talking about.

Weekly Wrapup

A gathering of bits and pieces from the week...

• I Don't Like You In That Way is keeping its rail hitched to the "Let's see how much of Hermione we can see" train with some revealing pictures of the actress. As Emma Watson left the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince after party, she made some nerds very happy. Shame on you, Emma.

• My Hollywood Dream has initiated its commentary on the recent Emmy nominations. My own thoughts are more simple. Among them: Where in the world is Elizabeth Mitchell? Lost's Juliet has been denied again. Shame on you, Emmys.

• Who will be Bilbo Baggins? Rumors are flying that the casting could be announced at Comic Con next week. But, according to an online article from Empire, director Peter Jackson is saying not to hold our breaths.

• I still haven't forgiven Scarlett Johansson for marrying Ryan Reynolds when I'm terribly available, but here's a low resolution picture and article from Entertainment Weekly covering her casting as Black Widow in the next Iron Man movie. But if she decides to come visit me in that outfit, I'll reconsider.

• I'm all for hunting zombies. They're nasty creatures that could possibly put a crimp in your day if they eat your brain. But this poster for Zombieland posted on IGN doesn't really do it for me. Kind of boring. Let's see if they follow up with a better one.

Arquettes Out to Dodge Killer Again

My Hollywood Dream has just reported that David Arquette and Courtney Cox-Arquette have signed to return to their roles as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers in Scream 4, the long-awaited sequel to the horror series. Kevin Williamson is writing the script, but it's not for certain if Wes Craven will be directing or not.

What separates Scream from other slasher/killer style horror flicks is that there's a definite story and flow involved. Movies such as the Saw films tend to concentrate on the killing itself. It would be interesting to see some old faces show up in this new Scream. Everyone loves nostalgia, old and not-so-old.
