Posted in BLU-RAY DVD RELEASES with tags , , , , , , , on October 18, 2009 by heathsworld

I apologize for the last 2 weeks.  I announced the releases on The Film List Podcast, but I promise I will not miss a week from here on out on the blog.  I will make it my dencity….I mean my destiny.

Over the next couple of weeks, releases will be of that horror theme as we approach Halloween.  Also from here on out, we will continue to get the summer blockbusters (Or lack there of) released, ie. Wolverine, Transformers, etc.

As you can see, late October isn’t kind to the amazing new content for home viewing.   But as we reach November, the holiday push is evident with many great upcoming blu-ray releases : Star Trek, Lost season 5, Heat, Snatch, and Fight Club.

FLASH FORWARD FULL SEASON ORDER

Posted in Flash Forward, TV NEWS with tags , , , , on October 16, 2009 by heathsworld

 

Before the new series “Flash Forward” debuted, the production team had mapped out a season-long and series-long arc for the show.

And while we don’t know if we’ll get to see the entire series arc, at least we’ll get to see the full season arc.  ABC gave the green light for a full season of the freshman drama yesterday. The order extends the episode count from 13 to 22.

The series has delivered solid ratings against CBS’s “Survivor” and has done extremely well when DVR figures are factored in.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, ratings for “Flash Forward” grew by 32% when DVR viewing was factored into the equation.

That’s the best numbers for any freshman series of the year and is well above the ratings delivered by “Ugly Betty” in the same time slot last year.

“Flash Forward” airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

“THE FLASH FORWARD PODCAST LIVE” RECORDS ON FRIDAYS AND POSTS TO iTUNES BY 10PM EST.

THE FILM LIST EPISODE 19

AUTHOR OF FLASH FORWARD’S CAMEO in the Pilot

Posted in Flash Forward with tags , , , , , on October 3, 2009 by heathsworld

Robert J. Sawyer  is the author of the book Flash Forward

Robert J. Sawyer and David S. Goyer

Robert J. Sawyer and David S. Goyer

And yes, he made an appearance  in the pilot episode.  I had no idea, well, I don’t know what he looked like.  I guess that’s why.  But I do now.  Regardless, I love hidden cool facts like this.  I’m a big fan of films/shows putting important figures in the background.  This element of hidden appearances  kind of started with Alfred Hitchcock.  He would show up in the background of all his films.  But some sites are calling Robert J. Sawyer’s appearance a cameo.  But what is actually a cameo?  The Hitchcock and R.Sawyer appearances are more as a background performer (an extra).  They are sort of hidden so your eye has to look for them.  Cameo’s are usually when a real famous person appears briefly on screen but they usually have a line or 2.  It’s also done so the viewer notices it and not has to pause and search.  Cameo’s are not usually someone just in the background.  Robert J. Sawyer is on the phone next to Olivia, so it may be considered a cameo.  He is right in the foreground.  But is he famous enough?  Well, if he made a cameo in Batman, sure it may not be considered a cameo but a bit part.  But the fact he is the author of Flash Forward, it may qualify as a cameo.  I can’t remember if he actually spoke in the scene but it sounds good to me.  Thanks to FlashForward TV for the photo :

FLASH FORWARD : ‘WHITE TO PLAY” EPISODE 2

Posted in Flash Forward with tags , , , , , , on October 3, 2009 by heathsworld

Ms. Wendy and I completed our fourth podcast for The Flash Forward Podcast Live.  We went over the second episode of the season, White To Play.  We believe this episode was  to be a part of the 2 hour premiere, but with Grey’s Anatomy doing a 2 hour premiere that same night, they split the two episodes up.   This could be why Dominic Monaghan wasn’t in the epsiode.  We were told at comic con he would be in the second episode.  So let’s hope he will make his debut next week. 

I liked the episode, but not as much as the premiere.  But I’m giving them a pass because they really do have to set up the season arch.  So we may get a lot of exposition as the season goes on.  It’s going to take some time for me to get settled on their style.  I’m just a bit thrown off at some of the humor and serious elements.  I guess I just have to get used to it.  I have a feeling this series will wind up like the show Fringe : Amazing premiere, next 5-8 epsiodes setting up the show then mid to the end of the season they will find their stride and the show will become amazing.  I have faith in Flash Forward.

Here is the screen caps for new parts of Olivia’s flash forward.  I had forgotten that we see Olivia and Lloyd in the same vision.   We are  to assume that’s Olivia on the bed, could it change?:

We normally record the podcast on talkshoe.  But with trying to keep our podcast to the 60 minute mark and to improve audio, we decided to record on gizmo then post on talkshoe to get to iTunes.  This week we had a bit of some audio issues.  A bit of echo and low level recording knocked our quality down this week.  Due to time constraints, we had to post this recording.  It’s not as bad as I thought but just want to apologize in advance if it caused any listening problems.  We are still working out all the kinks, as I promise that the recording quality will be much better for our next episode.

We appreciate all your support with getting this podcast off the ground.  I want to give special thanks to those who emailed in : Summertime,  Mike (NJ),  Scotty Six,  Anita,  Teresa,  Graft,  Tom in England,  Big Daddy Dez, Valerie Dean,  CutePoison10, Tom wilson and Anna in Indiana.  Our new email for the podcast is : FlashForwardLive@gmail.com  Also be sure to leave us twitter comments as we will read them on next weeks podcast : www.twitter.com/heathlrnow  and www.twitter.com/bunnieslrnow

Nest week, Friday October 9th, we will be recording our 5th podcast for FF episode 3 and after that on talkshoe at 930pm est, we will be recording a Lost Revisited Now Podcast : Bunny awards for Through the Looking Glass.  We will be joined by Nancy drew, Glen, and hopefully Alex.  Donald and Anna will join us after the awards to talk more about Lost in our expanded segment.  So sit back and enjoy.

PENNY IS THE NEW OLIVIA...

Ratings news for the second episode of FlashForward seems quite good. According to TV by the Numbers, “White to Play” got 10.78 million viewers, retaining approximately 86% of the audience who tuned in to the series premiere last week. The show also got a household rating/share of 6.7/11, and a rating/share of 3.7/11 among Adults 18-49, which tied timeslot competition Survivor: Samoa on CBS.

Compared to other new shows on ABC getting good ratings, FlashForward also held up well. FlashForward got more total viewers than Modern Family (9.993 million) and Cougar Town (9.249). FlashForward also had a comparable rating/share among Adults 18-49 (a desirable demographic especially among advertisers), with a 3.8/10 for both Modern Family and Cougar Town.

Flash Forward Podcast in full swing

Posted in Flash Forward with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2009 by heathsworld

September 25, 2009 – We have posted our latest episode of  The Flash Forward Podcast live  on iTunes.  Ms. Wendy and I went over the pilot episode, “No More Good Days” that premiered on ABC 8pm this past Thursday.  During the podcast we attempted to recap the episode in 2 minutes 17 seconds, and yes we failed.  In the fashion of Lost Unlocked and The Transmission  podcasts, we want to do a quick recap that doesn’t take up too much time.  The recap was closer to 7 minutes.  My portion ran for under 3 minutes and well Ms. Wendy, she almost doubled me.  We gave it an effort, but it’s going to be tough to do.  But we promise it will not go over 7 minutes.  Our season goal, to actually do a recap in 2 minutes 17 seconds, good luck with that.

We are trying to find our format.  With the characters and the flash forwards, each week we will keep building our character analysis and putting the pieces together of the show’s mythology.

We normally record on talkshoe, but we will be doing this podcast on gizmo.  It isn’t live for you to hear, but the sound quality is so much better.  I do have to learn to stay  still while recording with a low budget headset, but I promise that the quality will get better and better each week.  We also will stay within the 60 minute format.  Our Lost podcast goes a lot longer but we want to give Flash Forward fans more of a quicker, precise product.

We currently have been doing well on iTunes : we are in the new and note worthy section and we reached #31 on the iTunes tv/film category.  So we hope to broaden our fan base.  If you have any feedback about Flash Forward, send your emails to Wendy : bunnieshatch@aol.com or to Heath : thefilmlist@gmail.com
