Cast Update 3-7-2017

Things are changing in the TV world as different midseason shows are premiering. Pure Genius, which once replaced this show, is now replaced itself with a terrible show called Training Day. Ugh. CSI: New York was replaced ultimately with two comedies and one of them, The Odd Couple, is now replaced by Superior Donuts. Code Black, which had replaced CSI, was replaced by Doubt. Doubt was quickly cancelled, although it was a good show and is instantly replaced by Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. Also, my laptop is starting to develop problems and might be nearing its natural death if I don’t get too frustrated and through it out a window instead. In case there are serious enough problems, this blog won’t be updated until they are resolved.

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. There is a pretty notable sequel in the work that she is doing. While we don’t know what role she might have in the movie, it looks like she will be lending her voice talent to that of Toy Story 4. Another role that I found her in is some sort of project named Permanent. Now it mentions another project that she will be in called High Life. If that wasn’t enough, there will be yet another project she’ll be in called The Bell Jar. Boy, she sure gets around, doesn’t she?

Toy Story 4: I still don’t know what to make of this movie. Most of us probably found the idea of Toy Story 3 to be ridiculous, but loved the movie when we saw it in the end. Fourth installments of movies tend to get intense hatred from critics and fans. I’ll let you know my thought eventually when I’m able to see it. But its release date is a long ways off. It is set for release on June 21st, 2019.

Permanent: This is a movie comedy that is coming out sometime in 2017. The status of the movie is listed as filming. It appears that the movie is about some women wanting to act like another woman or something like that. Hopefully an eventual trailer of the movie can release more information about it so I can know more about it.

High Life: This movie is listed as in the preproduction stage on imdb. It appears to be about a woman and her father who are isolated and living in deep space. It does not have a specific date mentioned, but it should be coming out in 2018. I hope that it comes out as it sounds good and interesting.

The Bell Jar: This movie is about a person dealing with mental illness. It says that it is both comedy and drama so it might be like 50 First Dates. It is set for release sometime in 2018. I’ll let you know when/if it has an actual release date or trailer.

Peter MacNicol: This actor left CSI: Cyber after just one season with it and then pretty much nothing interesting has happened with him in either television or movies. The only thing that I can make for him in terms of new projects is Tangled: The Series. Now this will not get its own section yet. Why is that? For now, this is not going to appear as a show until 2017. And that’s provided that it actually becomes a show. Besides that, I’m not convinced at the moment that Peter is going to have a long term role in the show. If he does, I’ll be sure to report it here. There is nothing else new to report.

James Van Der Beek: A new project in the future for this actor is something called Carters Get Rich. It will air on Sky 1. Since Sky 1 is an international channel, I don’t know if it will air in the US or not. I’m guessing that it probably will at some point. Anyways, there is more information about that in the next paragraph. I hope that this actor has a major role in it. I think that he does, but I’m not entirely sure about it right now. We’ll see what happens. I also noticed that he’s doing something new called What Would Diplo Do?

Carters Get Rich: This is a comedy of some sort that relates to a family that lives in rags wanting to reject potential riches that they think could ruin them. This is an interesting premise, actually. I hope that it airs on PBS so I can watch it. If not, hopefully I can get a guest reviewer for it. I can’t seem to get a release date for it. Supposedly, it was going to be released sometime last year, but I haven’t known any certain thing with it. I may have to remove it from future updates as it could be a cancelled project. If it isn’t, I don’t know why I can’t find info about it. It has an unknown release date.

What Would Diplo Do?: This currently has a release date of sometime in 2017. I guess that’s at least twelve months of wondering if it will result in anything. It will be based off of the life of DJ Diplo, whoever that is. It will air on Viceland, a channel I have never heard of before.

Shad Moss: After all this time I’ve been doing updates, I was beginning to be concerned that I’d never find something for him. Well, he finally has a project in the works. It is called Superstition: The Rule of 3’s. That’s the only new project that I see him in right now, although I’m more than glad that he’s finally doing something.

Superstition: The Rule of 3’s: This is a thriller movie on the belief that death occurs in threes. I have no idea what role Shad will end up playing in the film. The status of the film is listed as filming. It has no release date or trailer just yet.

Charley Koontz: It appears that he, for sure, is appearing in Captain Black. I’m not sure what else he is doing and this could wind up with a random rating on imdb by the posting of this update or the next update. In fact, when the new year starts, I may have to amend any shows or movies with no known release date even if they were set to be released in 2016. I’ll never understand what happens with some of those films.

Captain Black: It does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It is about a man who has an interest in a comic character and gets in some sort of relationship he shouldn’t have. Also, I need to work on writing my own original taglines for movies so that I’m not just copying what someone else has written (although I don’t think that I’m doing that). It has an unknown release date and I may have to remove it from future updates unless I can find some sort of proof that this is actually getting made.

Hayley Kiyoko: She has a movie on Netflix called XOXO. I will keep mentioning that until I’m able to see it. Another new project that she’ll be in is something called Becks. I wonder what that will be like, although I won’t know for sure until I see it.

XOXO: This movie is about six people sharing some strange romantic night of some sort. It looks like a romantic drama of some sort. It is out now as of this update. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to see it since it appears to be a Netflix exclusive. I don’t know if it will ever be available on DVD for me to watch without Netflix. I’ll check back later for more updates. I also hope to find a guest reviewer for this movie or hope that it would be available to rent sometime at my video store. I’m not getting Netflix just to watch this. There is a trailer for the movie now.


Thoughts on trailer: It looks like an interesting trailer. I’d have to say that it was a vague trailer of some sort. I can’t tell yet if it is one of those famous controversial trailers that make a movie look better than it is. I’m not entirely sure if I have seen one of those. Anyways, it looks like the movie is a fairly normal movie of some sort although it might have some weird parts to it. The trailer does make me interested in seeing the movie. I hope that it’s not a misleading trailer.

Now is the point where I should post a review of the movie, but I can’t as I am not able to watch this. If anyone reading this is able to see the movie and wants to do a review of it, then let me know. If you want to review the movie, comment on this post with your review. In the meantime, I’ll see if it ever gets released to DVD so I can actually watch it out of Netflix. I don’t know if I’ll be able to review it yet or not. I might keep this as part of the update until I can review it or someone else does one for me.

Becks: This is listed as in postproduction. The plot of it appears to be about a lesbian who, after a break up, finds herself in a new unexpected relationship of some sort that may or may not be romantic. I saw a release date of it for last year, so I guess that it is coming out at an unknown time.

Ted Danson: This is the only actor who would for sure not have been on a potential season 3 of the show. And his pilot was picked up so it’s good that he can still be on TV for now. He is appearing on The Good Place on NBC. I did find a new project with him in it called The Wrights, which is a short of some sort. There is nothing else new to report. Surely his time off of TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that happens soon or not.

The Good Place: This is an NBC comedy. It is an afterlife based comedy. Ted appears on it in a supporting role. He plays a person who designed the section of the good place for the main characters, although it is possible he made mistakes. The first season of this show ended. It is coming back for a second season. I doubt that I will find out when it airs until May when the schedule is released. That’s provided that it airs in the fall. But it will return for a season at some point in time.

Review: The Good Place: Status- Currently on hiatus until season 2 starts at a currently unknown time. Why I’ve seen it- In order to review this for another blog of mine, I watched it. Description- A comedy, a woman finds out that she is dead, but in the good place. The main problem: she’s not supposed to be there. Notable People- Ted Danson, who was in many shows in the past, among them Cheers, CSI, and CSI: Cyber, is a character on the show. Kristen Bell, who did many movies and Veronica Mars, is the main character. Pros- The show is different and interesting. It tries to keep religion out of it so as to not offend anyone. Cons- The idea of things going wrong with the good place in death is a bit hard to believe. It lacks a certain amount of charm that you would want it to have. It doesn’t seem as funny as it could be. Note to Parents- This is borderline is terms of what is acceptable to let your kids watch or not. Recommendation- I’d honestly just leave this is a toss-up for now at least. Prediction- It might last a while, but I’m not sure yet if it will last long. Reception: positive. Grade: B.

The Wrights: Like most shorts, I have no idea how I’d be able to see it or if I will review it. The plot is about sibling rivalry after the death of the sibling’s father. It does sound interesting. I guess that it might be out now, but I’m not sure how.

Anthony E Zuiker: It would appear that for now there are no future projects in the work for this franchise creator. He might be working on some sort of project that we don’t know of just yet. But there is nothing known to the public yet. There is nothing new to report.

Carol Mendelsohn: There is a new project in store for this writer as of this update. I’m not sure where it is in terms of happening versus not happening, but I might as well tell you about Doomsday, a series that she might be working on. It lists her as a producer and not a writer, but this is still something so it will count. She also have another project in the works called Witchblade. We’ll have to see what happens regarding that.

Doomsday: This show is set to be released sometime in 2017. It starts as a reaction to 9/11 and people coming up with disaster scenarios, only for the ideas to be deemed as too dangerous. When one of these disasters ends up happening, the team has been brought back in order to help. It sounds pretty interesting, yet kind of obvious.

Witchblade: This is based off of a comic book. From what I can tell, it is in the magical girls genre, although it might have only one girl whose power comes from an object. I should hopefully have a plot description of it in the future. The release date is unknown at this particular time.

Ann Donahue: There’s no new information about this writer. I’m sure that she’ll probably find something, but I’m not sure when. As of this month, there are still no new updates regarding this writer. I hope that she does something. There is nothing new to report.
