New Episodes of Arrested Development in 2016

By Joelgleo
Those who saw the fourth season of Arrested Development had a lot of things to say about it and not all of them were kind. Some complained about the format that focused on only one character at a time. Some complained about the fact that some shots were clearly patched together from two different shots because schedules couldn't line up well enough to get the everyone in the room at the same time to shoot the shot. Some just had general complaints about the quality of the show saying the magic of the first three seasons was gone. My personal complaint? The ending. Not what the ending was exactly, but the fact that they chose to end on a cliffhanger. I mean I was waiting for the better part of a decade for that season to finally come out and we had no idea how long a fifth season would take to get together or if it would ever finally happen at all. And I had to wait with that ending?


Well we still have to wait a while but at least a general end date to our waiting game has been announced. Producer Bryan Grazer has stated that the fifth season of the show will begin shooting in January of 2016 with an aim to put the episodes on Netflix midway through the year.

Now to be fair (And so I don't get caught in my own "Not really a news story" net later) I do want to say that nothing has come from Netflix about an official timeline yet. And in the same interview, Grazer admitted that in order for a early 2016 shoot to happen some schedules will most likley have to be juggled again. (though hopefully not as much as before) But this is the first hint at an actual shooting date on the books for the fifth season rather than the vague "someday" we've gotten in the past, so it's worth at least some excitement.

Top 30 Muse Songs (5 - 1)

We finally made it, the top 5 Muse songs ever according to me (with other's thoughts in mind...sort of). Their new album Drones has been released in most of the world by now and, from the sound of it, I may be revisiting this least at some point in the future to add in a few of the new songs (actually one of their new songs just might top the list as my favorite). At any rate, a full review of Drones will be popping up on Irrelevant But Awesome very soon and then, I promise I will shut up about Muse for a little while...maybe. Here's a refresher on the previous songs in the list:  30-26 ,  25-21 ,  20-16 ,  15-11 ,  10-6 . 5. Unintended A fan favorite since the band's beginning, Unintended is probably the most optimistic love songs you'll ever hear without wanting to set the world ablaze from an overdoes of happy. The song is about that special someone that is even more special because it was unexpected and is a light at the end of a depressing tunnel. It ...

Day 9 of Halloween - Re-Animator

Jason:  I am a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan. Now that that’s out of the way, this may be one of the best Lovecraft adaptations that has ever been made. The story is a retelling of one of HPL’s serialized stories, “Herbert West: Reanimator”. It takes its liberties and changes quite a few things, namely the time setting. Originally, they were going to have this movie set in the early 1920’s, same as the story, but because of budgeting constraints, they modernized it. And I think that it works really well in a more modern era. The same questions of what is life, and can we beat death are no closer to being answered now than they were when the story was written. And, this was originally supposed to be a multi-part film that would have come out in sequence, just like the story did. There again, it had to be cut down to a single 90 minute movie because of money. I could go on and on about the differences between HPL’s story and the movie but that could take a while. Just like any ove...

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is com...
