Rare is it these days that I have time to curl up with a book and even more rare that I get captivated by a book to this extent. Hero, the novel by Perry Moore seemed like a logical choice to read since it was a different take on superheroes than I’d previously read and it makes for a great entry into the Friday Fantasy Adaptation group.
It was about time HBO decided to let us know when my beloved Game of Thrones would come back. At TCA’s today the cable network announced that the show will return on April 6, the same night as their other wonderful series Veep and new show Silicon Valley. Should make for a heck of a night. The network will also premiere the trailer for Game of Thrones this Sunday at 8:55 pm before HBO miniseries True Detective. Peep the press release.
You guys, can it be Feb 14 so I can get this new season of House of Cards? The 2nd trailer just released today is so, so good and I need this series to binge watch right now. Here’s the synopsis of the foolery we are in store for: Francis (Kevin Spacey) and Claire (Robin Wright) Underwood continue their ruthless rise to power as threats mount on all fronts. Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), an up-and-coming reporter and Francis’s former paramour, is inching closer to the truth about his crimes. President Walker’s (Michel Gill) billionaire confidante Raymond Tusk (Gerald McRaney) demands that Francis reciprocate political favors or face retribution. And Claire must confront the increasing glare of the spotlight as it eats away at her and Francis’s once private existence. Watch the awesome trailer after the jump!
This is a big week for television in that so many of the best shows on TV and the ones with the biggest fantoms return to grace our screen and take over our lives. I am happy that The Good Wife, Teen Wolf, and Being Mary Jane will be back. Here’s a list of the big premieres that are happening this week.
Another week, another set of interesting things I wrote for ScottFeinberg.com. Here are the links in case you missed anything:
What is the Likelihood of McConaughey and Leto Winning Oscars? (My favorite piece of the week)
Since 1988, there have been 30 instances where the actor and supporting actor for the same film were nominated. This year, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto are hoping to make it 31 films as both are in contention for Oscar nominations. With that, I decided to take a look at the past 25 years in Oscar to see what might bear out this year for these actors.
