Midnight Movie: VICE Explores LA's Hidden Urban Oil Wells
If you're not heading home to hit the bottle hard after this week, more power to you. I'm not sure what solace TV will provide this weekend, what with "The Starter Wife", that, despite all the heavy hype, looks less than funny.
What also looks less than good are the plans of "Survivor" creator, Mark Burnett, to recreate "This Is Your Life" according to the Hollywood Reporter. The original, while kitschy now, was an interesting program _for_its_time_ which doesn't mean that it should be reincarnated. How about some original ideas out there Mark? Or is your creative muse as flat as my 401k?
The TV Junkie plan: Tonight - "Stargate" (gettin' geekified), Letterman (Lou Reed yo!), Ferguson ("Little Britain"); Saturday - Graham Norton; Sunday - various Paul Newman movies, "Dexter", "Mad Men"
