Terminator Salvation: McG talks Sequels 2 and 3 and TSCC…
Great interview over at Comic Book Resources. This bit caught my eye:
So would you say that “The Sarah Connor Chronicles’” struggle is not evidence of a disdain for the Terminator franchise, but rather just that particular series?
Yeah, but that’s a tricky business. You know, the state of television is in the toilet. It’s hard to throw stones at any one show here or there. I mean, the show does well enough, it just finished season two and you know I’m going to call those guys at Fox and see what their intention is as far as the future of the show. I hope they keep it on the air but they got a tough business. They got to do what they got to do. So we’ll see where that takes us.
Truthfully, we were sensitive to [the fact that there was already a Terminator show on TV] early on but there just hasn’t been any data that would suggest that one is related to the other.
…
Have you started to discuss what the sequels to this film will be about and if so, can you tease us with the films possible titles?
We do indeed have the titles of the second and third picture and I’m telling you, what we’re going to do with the second one, should we be able to make it, I can’t tell you how excited I am about it. Let’s just say it involves time-travel and it involves John Connor once again trying to galvanize the forces of those who think he’s crazy. I’m just not going to tell you what period it takes place in.
Save TSCC.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Where the film splits the book….
Empire Online reports that the upcoming two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie will split at a cliffhanger moment.
The magazine spoke with star Daniel Radcliffe and franchise producer David Heyman.
“We’ve played around with a couple of places,” Heyman told the magazine. “And ultimately settled on a place that we think is very exciting, and I think quite bold, in that it’s not necessarily where one might expect. You want to give a sense of completion, on one hand, but a sense that there’s another piece, more to come. We tried one, and then Steve [Kloves, the screenwriter,] came up with the idea to try it another way, and when we tried that, it felt just right.”
Radcliffe added that the split is “at a very tense cliffhanger”, which may be a bigger clue for fans.
Stimulus Unemployment Update: TX and AZ legislature move on changes for funding…
The Senate suspended rules April 20 to consider amending two bills to ensure that Arizona collects federal stimulus money for Medicaid programs and for extended unemployment benefits.
Today, the Senate Commerce and Economic Development Committee is scheduled to hear the strike-everything amendments to S1102 and S1322. The plan is to pass the measures this week. Both bills contain an emergency clause and would require a supermajority to pass…
…S1322, meanwhile, would allow Arizonans to receive extended unemployment benefits at no cost to the state through the end of the year. …the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made several temporary changes to the extended unemployment benefits program to say the federal government will pay 100 percent of the program’s cost – instead of the usual 50 percent.
First, though, the state must change statute to reflect that the federal government will cover 100 percent of the program’s cost through the end of 2009. Other technical changes also must be made.
Existing state statute provides for a 13-week extension of unemployment benefits if certain “trigger points” are met based on unemployment factors in the labor market.
Department of Economic Security spokeswoman Liz Barker said the trigger points have never been reached. It is unlikely they will be reached in the current economic downturn without statutory changes, she said.
Senators just voted 19-11 for Sen. Kevin Eltife’s bill to expand the state’s unemployment insurance program in order to draw down $555 million in federal stimulus dollars. The bill would ignore Gov. Rick Perry’s wish that the state not receive the stimulus dollars for unemployment…
…Eltife said the federal dollars will cover the cost of changes to the program for nine years and result in the state borrowing less money to keep the state’s unemployment trust fund afloat.
Perry has said he thinks the current unemployment program in Texas works just fine, and that increasing the benefits will increase unemployment taxes on businesses once the federal money runs out….

BSG: Caprica Review…
Based on the review I will NOT be ordering the digital download, I’m still pixxed at RDM and DE for that BS ending to BSG..WTH was that with Starbuck?! What a cop out that ending was…anywho here is what another fan had to say after watching Caprica, for THIS we lost Starbuck? Bogus man….
From a Lanie Grace commenter Scott:
A spoiled rich, angsty, teen drama queen is really a super genius that does what billions in research couldn’t: creates a viable AI. In her spare time that isn’t spent hanging out with the “one true god” cult.
“One true god” cult member decides to blow up train without letting her know, perhaps trying to spare us from any more of her screen presence. But no, we aren’t quite that lucky. Because we still have the Emo Princess avatar which is just as identically annoying in every way.
Then we have some unknown leaps in ill-logic after daddy discovers the Avatar, which you can interact with in virtual world so perfect everything seems real, but that isn’t good enough. It would apparently be much better to Hug a Giant Killer robot body. So he has Adama arrange theft (apparently crime lords will turn on their own friends if you simply agree to talk to someone they are going to have killed) of a chip which for some unknown reason is expected to be compatible with both the avatar software and the Killer Robot body.
Luckily we are spared that embrace because again for some unknown reason it all goes badly and robot falls down, goes boom. Mercifully daddy super computer genius also forgot about making a backup. Bye bye Emo Avatar?
But wait Killer robot is back and is really uber in his killage… and, Oh Noes!, it has angsty emo princess voice as it calls up cult member friend, presumably to go to the mall in next episode because all her old shoes won’t fit anymore.
I can’t wait for the next episode of “Emo Princess killer robot”: Shoe Shopping.
TSCC: Terminator Season 3 WB Negotiation…
Also from Lanie, HILLARIOUS TSCC Virgin1 promo:
“If loving a robot is wrong, he don’t wanna be right”
Promo from UK channel Virgin 1 for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles shown during valentines week
Lanie Grace has the scoop!! EW stole it, but Lanie was the first to report…
I have heard from two separate sources, one from WB and the other over at NBC Universal the parent company of SciFi that for the past couple of months that Halcyon and Warner Brothers have been quietly shopping TSCC around…
…The sticking point in the negotiation is that Scfi wants some creative control on the direction of The Chronicles. SciFi as well as many inside WB believe that TSCC is aimed at too specialized an audience and is highly serialized to the point of hurting the show. Basically the way things are now you have to see every episode to follow it and it plays to a select audience. Josh Freidman the show runner has fought WB and FOX on this very point several times through the life of TSCC.
SciFi wants to develop the show into a more episodic series therefore potentially opening up the show to a desperately needed larger audience….
