‘Paranormal Activity II’ vs. ‘Saw VII’ this Halloween- PA II wins it no contest….
Saw was a great idea, once or twice. But VII times? Especially after the last one, that anti insurance, Obamacare commercial they released in 2008 lol. Now Paranormal Activity II?, oh yeah I’ll see that. Lots of room there for more story. We lobbied HARD to get PA in wider distribution. See our many posts on PA here.
Paramount is committed to meeting the Oct. 22 release date for “Paranormal Activity 2,” which pits the sequel directly against “Saw VII 3D.” Move sets the stage for one of the biggest Halloween B.O. battles in recent times.”Saw VII” has already tried to bloody “Paranormal 2” once. Kevin Greutert was circling to direct “Paranormal 2” when Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures exercised an option requiring Greutert to direct the seventh installment in the “Saw” franchise.
“Paranormal 2” didn’t get a director until just last week, when Tod “Kip” Williams inked a deal to helm the pic. Williams is new to the horror genre, having directed indies “The Door in the Floor” and “The Adventures of Sebastian Cole.”
That left some wondering whether “Paranormal 2” would indeed be ready by Oct. 22.
Insiders involved with the film say that still leaves plenty of time to shoot and edit the sequel. Par and filmmakers are currently casting.
It’s unlikely the sequel could shoot in eight days, like the first “Paranormal Activity” — but the quickie shoot set a precedent for low-budget pics with high expectations.
“Paranormal Activity,” produced for roughly $15,000, became a runaway hit at the box office following an innovative viral-marketing campaign, grossing $107.9 million domestically and $84.8 million internationally for a worldwide total of $192.7 million.
…”Paranormal” grossed $21.1 million against $14.1 million for “Saw VI.” (full opening weekends I guess? MiM here – and how much did they spend making Saw VI?)
The next “Saw” will be the first in the franchise to play in 3D, which could give it an edge, though the last few installments have seen progressively lower B.O….
Update: ABC renews ‘Castle’ for Season 3!! More Nathan Fillion hooray!
Hawt new promo!
Yay more Nathan Fillion!
CASTLE - "Wrapped Up in Death" - The investigation into the shocking death of a museum curator, crushed by a falling gargoyle, takes a bizarre turn when Castle and Beckett learn that he isn't the first member of a recent archeological expedition to die. It turns out there was a legend inscribed over the burial chamber the team unearthed warning that "all who gaze upon the face of the mummy are doomed." Was the curator just the latest victim of "The Mummy's Curse"? And if so, what does that mean for Castle, who snuck a peek at the mummy when no one was looking?, on "Castle," MONDAY, APRIL 5 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. (ABC/ADAM LARKEY) NATHAN FILLION
Coming off last night’s series-high performance (MiM here – “Castle” (13.9 million, 3.5) dominated 10 p.m.), ABC has renewed ‘Castle” for 22 episodes.
In an unsurprising move, the network has given ABC Studios production a third season. The Nathan Fillion detective drama has been gathering strength on Monday nights, especially when paired with reality powerhouse “Dancing With the Stars.”
GOP raises $1.5 million with ‘Fire Pelosi’ moneybomb…
yowsa. Obamacare passage certainly helped raise money for those of us against the travesty…and I know many Dems like myself who have not given money to the DNC since 2008, methinks business donations are drying up. I guess they will have to srong arm those who still pay to play twice as hard..
Dear Gina,We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution the Republican National Committee’s ongoing campaign to Fire Nancy Pelosi. Our Fire Pelosi Money Bomb raised more than $1.5 million. That’s money that will be used to help elect at least 40 new Republicans to the House of Representatives and remove the gavel from Nancy Pelosi’s hands.
Your contributions are going to make the difference this fall, and what you’ve done has already had a tremendous impact. All too often moments of individual heroism go unrecognized, but so important is the work that you are doing to defend the integrity of the U.S Constitution that we felt we must express our gratitude.
The Republican National Committee thanks you for your contribution, and we look forward to working with you in the future. We are proud to stand with you in the continuing fight for our freedoms.
Sincerely,
The GOP Action Team

In Case You Missed It:
* We released two new TV ads this week in response to Charlie Crist’s false and misleading attack ad. It’s no wonder that he is trying to change the subject. He has no conservative record or vision to talk about. Republican voters, however, will not allow Charlie to distract from his record of supporting the stimulus, higher taxes and cap-and-trade.
Video Update: Sarah Palin – John McCain Rally in Phoenix
Sarah in Searchlight courtesy of FreedomsLighthouse:
Sarah entered to an awesome tune-
John Shadegg R-AZ was there, Jeff Flake R-AZ, Mayors of Chandler and Glendale.
Sarah and Todd looked great, we were right in front of the lecturn with blue and red pompoms and the American flag. We chanted ‘Repeal and replace’ at several points throughout John’s speech…
Sarah was in fine form, fiery and passionate, defending our Constitution, our right to dissent.
Several Obot plants broke into incoherent shouts of koolaid induced madness t at two points. A very large dude who was earlier leading us in cheers helped escort one out a fellow attendee did the escorting not any mccain staff) , the other was rambling some incoherent BS about the ‘truth in the Middle East and about Israel’; he looked like 17, I’d be surprised if he finished high school. We chanted him down with Sa-Rah Sa-Rah, and USA-USA-USA and John Mc-Cain, John Mc-Cain…
same kind of infiltration I saw at the Big Dawg and HRC rallies, same Alinsky playbook., Sarah was very polite handled it beautifully, suggested one of them listen and learn something, and afterward defended our right to protest -peacefully.
She stressed smaller government is better government..
Sarah made a big point of talking about how we do NOT condone any sort of violence and that all our of ‘fighting’ words are about our VOTES!
She stressed that we must NOT let the lamestream media derail or distract us from our message and she said the way they are covering tea party patriots as violent is ‘all bunk’.
She is now on her way to Searchlight, NV for the HUGE tea party patriot rally to boot out Harry Reid!
Pics up very quick promise..
