(Working on a Title) Wednesday – King of Hollywood, New Television, Sons of Anarchy, FHL

This week we’re going to use the new Binge Cast for our points of discussion. Haven’t listened yet? What are you waiting for?

King of Hollywood

Law and Ammon posed a great question on this week’s Binge Cast. If you were made the King of Hollywood and could get ANYTHING made after giving your inauguration speech what would it be? They both had great answers and if you want to know what they were go listen. My answer, however, is probably going to bring a WTF? from everyone. The movie I would have made would be Masters of The Universe 2, or whatever other clever title they would come up with. Now I’m okay with an ending being left open but this is just bullshit. It’s been almost 30 years since we saw Skeletor’s face appear after the credits of one of my favorite movies as a kid. We all know this means a sequel would be coming, or at least it should have. Unfortunately it never did and I can’t imagine why. The only person I would pick would be the director. My director would be Peter Jackson and I would leave everything else up to him. Well not everything. The only way he would have complete control would be with the understanding that if he brings back Gwildor I will carve him up like a thanksgiving turkey. Even my mom was wondering where Orko was when we saw it. Don’t lie, you know you want this too.

Fuck New Television

Okay not entirely, but mostly. In the event another show puts together a cast like True Detective did with Harrelson and McConaughey I will be there on day one, or day two if I don’t have that channel. Otherwise I’ll see you when you’re over. I’ve missed a lot of great television over the years and instead of risking getting burned again by something new I’m gonna binge on stuff that’s done. Here’s where I need your help. Below is a list of shows I’m putting on my docket and would love some more suggestions. There are a few I’m still iffy about (Lost) just because of the whole 24 episode hour long network show can get pretty ridiculous in length if it goes past 4-5 seasons, but we’ll see.

Luther
Lost
Firefly
Twin Peaks
Mad Men
6 Feet Under

SoA

I just finished episode 2 and am really excited for the rest of this season. There still hasn’t been that HOLY SHIT ending yet but it’s early. I’m enjoying the development and wonder if Sutter is going to try and save most, if not all, of those moments for the last 2-3 episodes. Can it be done absolutely, will it be done and done well? Probably not. Regardless it’ll be a fun ride.

Fantasy Hockey League

Finally, one last reminder about our Fantasy Hockey League. I’m closing registration on Monday so if you’ve been meaning to sign up now’s the time. Also if we end up with an odd number of team’s the last one to sign up will be dropped so if you’re gonna sign up you might want to bring a friend. As I write this we still have 4 spots open. We are hoping to live draft Wednesday the 24th otherwise auto draft will take place on Saturday the 27th.

That’ll do it for this week. As always any comments, questions, or concerns can be left below. You can always follow me on twitter @jekupka and until next week I leave you with this…
