Simpsons Movie Animatics

Obviously all Simpson fans out there are aware of the upcoming movie – due out worldwide July 27^th, 2007. This week two animatics have appeared on the Internet. Both of which were shown in the US at the annual Comic-Con, and are actual animatics of scenes that will appear in the movie. Feel free to watch both of them after the jump.

P.S. The Simpsons Season 18 premiers September 10th in the US with The Mook, The Chef, The Wife & His Homer.

Invasion

Invasion is a new TV series that has been showing for 5 weeks now in the US, and I can safely say it’s definitely worth watching. Here is a small blurb from TV.com:

Man has searched the skies for centuries and has never come up with conclusive evidence to prove the existence of other forms of intelligent life. What if we have been looking in the wrong place? What if there were other forms of intelligent life already living among us? What if perceived natural disasters were really diversions created to conceal clandestine alien activities?

Over the last 5 weeks pieces of the puzzle are coming together to slowly start revealing the truth behind what is going on. To anyone that hasn’t seen the show, I suggest you fire up BT and check it out. At this stage there is still no word on whether it will make it to Australian TV or not.

The O.C. Season 3

That was a really good episode (Episode 2). Looks like it’s going to be a great season. It will be interesting to see what happens with Jimmy and Julie, they both seem as bad as each other now. Jimmy played the good guy in season 1 after the divorce, and ever since he has been the bad guy again. He is just as bad as Julie.

As for the dean, well, I never thought I’d see a guy that is as much of a prick as Julie. I don’t understand why the school hired him in the first place, when it’s obvious he is so biased. It’s a shame Ryan had to punch him.

As a lawyer, I am surprised that Sandy can’t do something to get him out of the school, while at the same time sending Julie to gaol for trying to frame Ryan. Julie in gaol would certainly make for a good turn of events.

Taylor tries far to hard, to the point where it’s just hilarious. Was she also in Gilmore Girls? Her voice sounds familiar. Apparently, Taylor will become a love interest for Seth this season too, so perhaps this boy still hasn’t learnt.

I also look forward to seeing what they are planing on doing with this Charlotte character. I’m yet to understand why she is there, but one thing is for sure, she is evil, which will hopefully leave for a great showdown between her and Sandy later in the season, trying to get Kirsten to come home.

All in all, a fantastic start to the season, with a whole swag of new horrible characters to create conflict and drama in the show. I can’t wait till next week now!

4400 Season Final

All I can say is WOW! That sure is one hell of a way to finish of a season. It leaves so many questions to be answered, while answering so many more. If your not a fan of the show, you should be. Season 1 is out in Australia and is only around $30. Well worth it in my opinion. Now the only problem is waiting for the next season, which will be around 8-9 months away. Luckily the 3rd season of The O.C. aires in less then 9 days in the states. Bless the Internet and bless TV!

The Eternal Wait

I hate Monday’s for several reasons.

1) It’s the first day of the working week.
2) It’s the longest possible time before the next weekend.
3) I hate waiting for my favourite TV shows to be released so I can watch them before they air on TV here in Oz.

Point 3) applies especially when the last episode of the 4400 finishes on yet another cliff hanger. I can see today just draging on forever…
