2011 here we come
Happy New Year! Life in High Fidelity has been lacking in updates and songs of the week this past month or so. Mainly because my life has been filled with some hard core christmasing, shopping, script editing, rehearsals, self hair cutting, partying and work work work. So, in the spirit of the new year, here is my list of things to look forward to in 2011.
The Walking Dead.
Fellow blogger and frequent best friend Hugh Lobb have begun to watch the AMC hit series The Walking Dead, which, in case you have not heard, follows a zombie-pocolapse and a group of people trying to survive it. At the moment we are only into the second episode. The first episode was among the best pilot episodes I have ever seen. Season two continues this year, meaning I will be puuuumped for it once we finish the first.
Weeds
The show will be going into its seventh season, I do believe. At the moment my other fellow blogger and other best friend Scarlett of "BAMFB" are on the fourth season. During the Christmas break we marathoned Weeds, burning through the complete third season in two sittings. By the time the show is back on I may just be caught up.
If you dont watch weeds, you should. Every season just keeps getting more and more intense. Shit goes down on that show, trust me.
The continuing epic that is Fringe.
Fox has pulled a Firefly and moved their brilliant cult hit sci fi show to Friday night. Which, as we have seen with the before mentioned show and the other Whedon show Dollhouse, usually means cancellation. I really need this not to be the case. I may lose all hope in television if this happens. I at least want this show to reach its own conclusion, with at least a full running fourth season. Fox should at least give it that. You should really check out Fringe, its the best sci fi show on tv right now, trust me. And it needs your help.
John Cusack's Edgar Allan Poe movie.
Apparently its a combination of Cusack, Poe creepiness, and murder mystery. Oh hells yes.
Continuing news on the roller coaster ride of a production that is Peter Jacksons The Hobbit.
Seriously, this movie has gone through hell and back. And it needs to get made. Life in High Fidelity demands it so.
The New Tintin Movie
Spielberg directed performance capture animated Tintin. Check out the movie stills online right now, they look pretty cool.
Parks and Recreation being being put back on the air.
One of NBC's best shows, featuring the always brilliant Amy Pohler. They never gave it the respect it deserved, and took them off the air for nearly a year, replacing it with the lackluster and kind of offensive Outsourced. The show made use of that for a stellar season finale, however. Hopefully they will be back and compensate for the lack of show and be as funny as ever.
New Decemberists Album
It seems they have dropped the rock opera theme and gone with a more poppy feeling this time around. Which should be cool, however I still really love their concept albums and it would be cool to see more of them in the future.
Scream 4.
Considering how self aware these movies are, it will be very cool to see a re boot with the original cast, and see them make use of the new kinds of horror slasher movies for some entertaining commentary. Screw you, nay sayers. Scream is classic, and I will definitely be checking this one out.
more to come!
