The spin-off of one of THE best American cartoon shows EVER, The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra is anticipated by fans loyal to the epic revolution instigated by the Avatar: The Last Airbender. From a recent scouring, here are what I've found:


From nick.com


With the Hundred Year War long over, benders live harmoniously with non-benders in a bustling steampunk paradise called Republic City. Meanwhile, a bull-headed but incredibly talented 17-year-old Avatar named Korra is growing into her powers in Southern Water country. But how long can the peace really last, and what will happen when Korra escapes to the city and these worlds collide?You'll find out when Korra comes to Nick this Spring, but until then, keep on top of all the The Last Airbender: Legend Of Korra gossip, right here!

Cheers!

Meanwhile, here is the trailer they releases six-what-the-hell?-months ago to tide us over:

with some lol comments on the same page:

long ago the nickelodeon channels showed good 90's cartoons in harmony, then everything changed when big time rush, victorious, and the wannabe cartoons attacked. only avatar the last airbender could stop them but when the nickelodeon needed it most, reruns of the show dwindled. time past and we discovered a new avatar named korra and although all we have only seen teaser trailers, we believe that korra can save nickelodeon.

True that! And here are some more clips that promise just how awesome this ride is going to be!

Squeal and flail and bounce around with excitement if you can't wait for spring! Oh yeah!

Love Bites who?

"We live in a Twitter world. You have to be able to hook someone in 140 characters or less." - Cassie, played by Krysten Ritter, who btw pops everywhere as a supporting character, in Love Bites, which btw I think is a total fail of a series (great attempt at the 3-vignette episode format, but otherwise - bleh), from the first episode aptly titled "Firsts", which btw is the only episode I had the patience to watch. Thank you very much.

just whelmed

You're overwhelmed; Freeze was underwhelmed. Why isn't anybody ever just whelmed?

I just love her >>

LEVERAGE + DAMAGES

can i just say, PARKER. is. PERFECT.

LEVERAGE. so i've only just got done with the first season, and i'm thanking the hand that led me to NOT buy it last year because NOW i can continue binging myself with non-stop episodes from season 2. man, i keep thinking veronica mars split into 5 persons. oh, and thank god for dvd players. and remote controls, as i keep replaying scenes when one or the other is lifting somebody else's wallet (or of parker's mightily disturbing antics.) and pirates, we can't forget the pirates.



DAMAGES. this was actually referred to me by emerald ages ago and only now that i decided on picking it up. i'm in the middle of the first season now and so far, it's awesome as hell. the story arc's got a john grisham feel to it, and john grisham is always good. plus the cast are just popping (and famous, too.) a super delayed thanks to ems for this one.



i've taken the backseat on tv series for a while now, ever since that cruel writer's strike way back that left me high and dry with old shows on hiatus and disappointed with new ones that just didn't meet the bar for me. but these two shows, i find, are well worth the wait.

the OTHER upper-eastsiders

Meet the Darlings -- the other upper-eastsiders.



The empire builder (who is disappointed at his children but uses his bottomless well of resources to "guide" them). The sophisticated socialite (who was having an affair with the family lawyer). The principled politician (who is having an affair with a transexual). The professional divorcee (who's... should I really add to that?). The Man of God (who tried to bribe a court official in a custody battle over his illegitemate child, Brian Jr). And the well-behaved twins.

Trivia:
When Dutch the family lawyer died, Tripp wanted to hire Bill Clinton to take up the position but changed his mind. Maybe Clinton's not good enough for him, huh.

Karen went through with a marriage ceremony, but demanded an annulment before the reception was over. She is thrice divorced, so what's the big deal, right?

Jeremy plays poker with Ethan Hawke, and writes music with Justin Timberlake. Well, Chuck Bass, what say you?

Juliet is extremely close to her twin brother, Jeremy, and believes they can sense each other's thoughts and emotions through "twintuition."

Seth Gabel, who plays Jeremy Darling, is Bryce Dallas Howard's husband! I never knew that.

An ad for the show that went in the New York Times:


LOL.

The royalties' here, bring out the dolla's.

~~~~~~~~~~

quote me do: Dirty Sexy Money

Karen: Something was off last night though. It wasn't the same.
Jeremy: Mmm... Do Tell.
Karen: Well, usually, when Giorgio and I have meaningless post-divorce sex, it feels a little less meaningless. Like we're somehow...
Jeremy: ...planets whose orbits intersect every ten years?
Karen: No, just hornier.

Patrick: So, you shot me in the leg.
Ellen: I was aiming for higher.

Patrick: What's the matter, baby?
Carmelita: Sometimes it, sometimes it's kinda depressing. The only thing intimate that ever takes place between us happens in hotel rooms and limousines. Never in public.
Patrick: Doing what we just did in public is illegal in most states.

Karen: Sweetie, I don't think, I don't think Daddy wants you to take the plane again. Jet fuel doesn't grow on trees.

Head Reverend: The state board has decided to suspend you for six months, during which time you are expected to undergo counseling for sexual addiction and attend a series of workshops.
Brian: Who doesn't love workshops?

Juliet: A-ha!
Jeremy: What?
Juliet: You were just talking to her.
Jeremy: Who?
Juliet: Your secret girlfriend.
Jeremy: I have no girlfriend
Juliet: Oh yeah, then who did you spend 600-grand on Bulgari? Justin Timberlake?

Lisa: I can't buy shoes that cost as much as car insurance.
Karen: Lisa, honey, don't be so financially resistant, okay? It's just money.

Jeremy: So can I use your place?
Lisa: For what?
Jeremy: Well, this girl I'm into doesn't know who I am. She thinks I'm poor.
Lisa: What gave her that idea?
Jeremy: I told her I was poor. So I need a place that looks like a poor guy would live there, you know?
Lisa: Jeremy, we're not poor.
Jeremy: Those ants look pretty low-budget.
Lisa: Those ants cost 12,000 bucks.
Jeremy: Proving my point.

The show's vicious. Watch it.

quote me do: Veronica Mars

Seriously snappy dialogue from TV series Veronica Mars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
[in a dream]
Veronica: Why are you here?
Lilly: Don't you watch any horror movies? My soul is doomed to walk the earth until justice has been served...
Veronica: Really?
Lilly: Yeah that, and as kind of a side project, I dispense fashion advice.

Jackson Douglas: I hear you do detective stuff for people.
Veronica: I do favors for friends.
Jackson Douglas: I can pay.
Veronica: Sit down, friend.

Veronica: Wait up!
Troy: Don't run, Veronica. People might think you're desperate.
Veronica: That would be a step-up, reputation-wise.

Van Clemmons: Mr. Echolls, I was wondering if I could have a word?
Logan: Anthropomorphic. All yours, big guy.

Keith: [happy] Who's your Daddy?
Veronica: I hate it when you say that.
Keith: This is important, you remember this, I used to be cool.
Veronica: When?
Keith: '77. Trans-Am, Blue Oyster Cult in the 8-track, foxy, stacked blond riding shotgun, racing for pink slips. Wait a minute, I'm thinking of a Springsteen song. Scratch everything. I was never cool.
Veronica: I don't know which bothers me more, "foxy" or "stacked".

Caz: Sabrina, I would never hurt you. You know, if you asked, I would jump off the roof?
Sabrina: Can I get you to stop that?
Veronica: Ask him to jump.

[interview practice in journalism class, Ashley and Veronica are paired]
Miss Dent: Remember, start with light, easy questions first. Let your subject get comfortable.
Ashley: So, Miss Mars, how do you respond to the rumors that you boyfriend hooked with strippers in Tijuana last weekend?
Veronica: Miss Banks, have you decided which parent you're going to live with after the divorce? And, if I may, a follow-up, can you believe your father's choice in mistresses?

Wallace: Another big Friday night. You got plans?
Veronica: I don't know. I might take Backup for a run or rent a movie, maybe.
Wallace: Hey, congratulations. You are officially Neptune High's most boring person.
Veronica: Did I mention the movie might be PG-13?

Trina: Will you just hear me out, please? My boyfriend Dylan spotted me some cash a few months ago and now he's bugging me about it. I can't get him off my back.
Logan: Did you try standing up?

Wallace: [about a suicide] I heard she left a note on her Blackberry.
Veronica: Talk about post modern.

Voiceover Veronica: Best way to stop wondering if your favorite teacher was trying to lure you between his black silk sheets? Research the mystery condition that's causing your ex-boyfriend and possible half-brother to take oxcarbazepine.

[Madison staring at a bathroom mirror]
Veronica: You can keep asking, but you're not the fairest. Trust me.
Madison: Well, I can tell you who the pastiest is. What's the deal - can't buy bronzer with food stamps?
Veronica: You wrote "slut" on my car last year at Shelly's party. Why?
Madison: Because "whore" had too many letters.

Veronica: I'll be at home. With the only sane member of the Mars family.
Keith: The one who eats from the garbage and keeps bringing me dead birds?
Veronica: That's the one.

Lilly: [about Celeste] I left phone numbers on matchbooks for Tyrone and Leroy and Chico around the room. Give the woman a little drama in her life.
Veronica: Wait...who's Tyrone and Leroy and Chico?
Lilly: Beats me, but they seem to really upset Mom.

[Veronica is trying to change a flat tire]
Troy: Flat?
Veronica: Just as God made me.

[Veronica stares at a trophy case]
Weevil: If you're looking for my trophy, it's back by the Autoshop.
Veronica: Lube job? Or, can you medal in stealing hubcaps?
Weevil: Is this 1970? Rims, baby.
Veronica: So you got a trophy for a rim job?
Weevil: Forget it. I have some information for you.
Veronica: Finally-- a deep-throat to call my own.

Keith: So, senior year. How was your first day at school honey?
Veronica: Great! I beat up a freshman, stole his lunch money and then skipped out after lunch.
Keith: What, no pre-marital sex?
Veronica: Oh, yea... yes. But don't worry dad, I swear you're gonna like these guys.
Keith: That's my girl.

Keith: 'Sup?
Veronica: I'm not acknowledging that.

Veronica: Well, does this towel make me look fat?
Meg: You need something to wear?
[they walk out of school with Veronica wearing a cheerleading uniform]
Meg: I usually have sweats in my locker. Sorry.
Veronica: No, this is perfect. I just have to resist the urge to do a cartwheel.

Lamb: [reading $100 bill] Veronica Mars is... smarter than me...
Veronica: Oh, you stop it!

~~~~~~~~~~
Witty, no?

don't scratch it

one more time with the commercials, people!



hohoho, bigatin talaga ang tv ads ng pepsi.

since i am on a streak...

... let's have some more of Vernonica Mars. Yeah, before we all say goodbye (I still can't fuckin believe they chucked the show). Got clips off of the released dvd and I'm positively tingling and I'm still freakin missing the third season and I now hate them pirates for being so sluggish and I'm just plain in need.



Holy crap! She's an FBI agent! It's so bitin. I am definitely gonna miss her. *sad*



All I'm gonna say, whoever you are, you s e r i o u s l y have to watch this shit. Coolness.

all hail to mars

One big shiit! I just found out today that Kristen Bell (aka my female counterpart)is in HEROES! I am sooo happy! *grinning like a fool*

She's gonna be playing a new character, Elle, for a multi-episode arc of the series' second season. She'll be seen on 13 eppies "as of now", which means it's all undecided yet and she could be appearing for a longer time!

Elle is said to be a " a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.'s past and the future of Claire." Variety also says "Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it's unclear whether she's good or bad." Bell also revealed, "I have a really awesome power." Ooooh. Well, we all know Peter's not gonna die, right? Nuh-uh. What, we don't? Fine. Anyway, putting aside my dumb question of who H.R.G. is, I think it'll be pretty interesting if she goes weevil, won't it?

Some more news: In the interview Bell seems to confirm reports that she'd turned down a role on Lost this season, and decided to do Heroes instead. "How do you make the decision between [Lost and Heroes]? Basically, being able to stay in [Los Angeles] was a little bit of a factor for me [in terms of turning down Lost]," said Bell, who noted, "I was honored to even be considered by Lost. I really, really was, because I love that show." Bell said pre-existing friendships with several Heroes cast members helped begin conversations between her and that show, including a talk she had with Zachary Quinto ("Sylar") on a train ride back from Comic-Con last month, in which she told him she'd love to work on the series.

See! She really is some hotstuff these days, ain't she! And she's friends with Sylar! I wonder when Heroes is gonna nab ME for a role?

Unbreakable Cheerleader

it begins as a single individual, seemingly ordinary - except they're not.

HEROES at NBC is a knocker! watch claire bennet walk thru FIRE here:

take me to mars

addicting, innit? just finished the second season and im absolutely craving for more!

Veronica Mars. Life's tough. She's tougher.

The streets and corridors are dark in Neptune, whatever the time of day. It's a darkness of spirit, of lies, of secrets, of jealousies, and of murder. And that's just high school.

Veronica Mars is a shining light in the oppressive endless night of Neptune. With her father, Keith, she seeks truths that others hide, justice that others evade, and equality that others stifle with money and power.

Okay. Enough with the hyperbole. Veronica Mars is no superhero. She's painfully human, with all the foibles mankind is heir to. She makes mistakes, she jumps to conclusions, and she can be viciously single-minded in her efforts to get answers to the mysteries in her life. But she's sharp, she's sassy, she's snarky, she's pretty in pink (and red satin), and she has a mean taser (not to mention the adorable Backup). She'll crack the conundrums, explain the enigmas, resolve the riddles, solve the stumpers, and work out the whodunits that weave their paths through the town. A dialogue that dazzles, delivered by a cast that sparkles, makes Veronica Mars one of the best shows on television...ever.
