The Blogboard Jungle

Sorry about not putting anything up last week, some pressing matter came up with school then we got sick so everything has been on hold.  A full review is in the pipe though about the Bellator MMA event we went to and it was a blast.   Having been under the weather I got to catch up on some good stuff on  +Netflix  like House of Cards , and The Doctors Notebook just to name a few. Also, some shows are back that we were excited about last season when they first aired like Hannibal and The Bates Motel so we gots a lot of catching up to do.  Stuff will be up soon, sorry for the delay but these things happen.

       I read over the weekend that my least favorite network is making a pilot for a TV series based on the Scream films, I can't think of any film to TV stories that were very successful in the past so I'm wondering how that's a good move?  I know it can work the other way around, I think The X Files did it in the 90's and I know people liked what was done with Serenity since Fire Fly had a following.  Even old school TV shows get made into decent films like Mission Impossible, that did well enough to earn a few sequels after the original one.           I watched the pilot for Zombieland : The Series last weekend, if you haven't read by now its reviews are mixed at best.  I didn't like it, it seemed rushed, cheap and the casting of Tallahassee the character Woody Harrelson played in the film was very disappointing in the series.  I read when the film was released that it was intentionally ...
