Cast Update 1-11-2018

I’ll never know about the schedule of some shows until they actually come out and many shows can surprise me with their releases. I don’t know for sure when Elementary will return nor do I know if it will air all of its season at once. They ordered more episodes for the upcoming season, but that might be a bad sign that they needed more for proper closer of it. Celebrity Big Brother will be changing the schedule a lot. It would seem that many shows will go on hiatus to make room for that.

What are the notable changes on the CBS schedule for January? The only notable thing I can see right now is that The Amazing Race will take over Survivor’s timeslot starting out. I have the feeling that Elementary might return on Monday, but not air all of its season at once. I don’t know yet when I’ll be able to update it when it returns.

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 a project called High Life. If that wasn’t enough, there will be yet another project she’ll be in called The Bell Jar. I see another new project of hers called Escape at Dannamora. I also have more of an update on the movie Permanent.

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: I have an official release date for this now. It also has a trailer too. It is in theaters now. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it soon or not. But I figure that I might as well talk more about it.


Thoughts on trailer: Man this looks incredibly dumb. At least they look like they are trying to put some message of some sort in there. But this doesn’t look like a film that I will enjoy at all so maybe it would be better if I didn’t see it.

I don’t know whether or not this is showing locally or not, so I’m going to wait until it is on DVD to see it, although I’m not sure if I’ll be able to see it then or not. I’ll keep it in the updates for now until then, although I’m not even sure that I want to see this anyways.

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. I don’t see this on imdb anymore so this might not be going forward as a project anymore.

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.

Escape at Dannamora: This is a TV show that is set from release sometime in 2018. It will air on the Showtime network. It is about a romance that an employee gains for two inmates that she then want to help escape. I don’t know how I feel about that. I also don’t know how or if I could see it.

Peter MacNicol: It appears that nothing new is mentioned with him anymore. It doesn’t even mention him being part of Tangled. I don’t understand what is going on here since different news sources mention him with Tangled, even though the news sources that imdb uses tend to be a bit questionable and don’t always relate to the actor who whoever I’m looking up. I guess that we’ll wait and see what projects, if any, he winds up doing in the future. I’m not sure if he is doing something. You might catch him in the show Veep, but it seems like he’s limited to guest roles on it and nothing yet too important.

James Van Der Beek: A new project in the future for this actor is something called What Would Diplo Do? You can read more about that in the next paragraph. I see a new project for him called Vampirina. I see him in a new TV show called Pose that I’ll get to. He’s also in a new movie called Downsizing. I won’t know for sure about how long some of his shows will last so I hope that I’m not always talking about them when or if they aren’t on anymore.

What Would Diplo Do?: This is currently out now as of this update. It will be based off of the life of DJ Diplo, whoever that is. It is air on Viceland, whatever network that is. I don’t know or care much about it. It has a trailer now.


Thoughts on trailer: This is kind of what I was expecting from the trailer: a bunch of random, meaningless scenes that are somehow going to promote the show. This doesn’t make me more interested in it and seems to only make me glad that I won’t be able to watch it anyways. That’s not to say that it was that bad a trailer, but they should have tried harder than they did.

This would be the point where I would do a review of the show, but I can’t as I’m not able to see it. I don’t think that I’ll be interested in it anyways. I don’t know if I’ll care and I don’t know when it will air on Viceland. If you care about it, then please watch and if not, then just ignore it.

Vampirina: This is a show about a young vampire girl who has to adjust after a move. It is an animated Disney Junior show as vampires are a thing that kids should be educated about in some way. It is out now. I would review if I could see cable so if you want to review it, just comment on this post and I’ll use what you say as a review.

Pose: Here’s what I know so far about this show. It is set to air sometime in 2018. And that’s about it. I have no idea what network it might air on or if it will be on during the summer or some other time. Will I be able to see it? I don’t know. I also have no clue as to what the plot of the show might be either. Hopefully we’ll find out more about this later. It will air on FX.

Downsizing: This is in theaters now. I don’t know if James will have that big a role on it, but I’m not sure that he would. Like everything in this blog, I’ll watch a movie even if they don’t have a bit role in it. I’m confused as to why the promos make the movie look so lighthearted when it is rated R. It does have a trailer so I might as well get to that.


Thoughts on trailer: This could be interesting, although it looks rather strange. Seems like a rather odd premise for a movie. Why would someone shrink themselves? Why would the process be permanent? Well, I’m guessing that’s to add tension of some sort. It seems interesting enough so I might as well watch it if I can. I just know I’ll be busy that time of year so I hope that it will be in local theaters. I will have to wait until later to see it because I don’t think that I can find it easily. When it is on DVD, you should see a review of it here.

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 at this time.

Hayley Kiyoko: She is on some sort of TV show called Five Points. It will be on facebook watch. What is that? Facebook does TV now? I wish that I knew more about it, but if I don’t hear much soon, I may have to cut it from the updates in hopes that something else will come along.

Five Points: I know absolutely nothing about this thus far. It is a TV show, but I don’t know which network it might air on. I guess that we’ll see what happens regarding this as I don’t see much about it just yet. It may be out already, but I’ll keep it in the updates for now until I can learn more about it.

Ted Danson: He is appearing on The Good Place on NBC. 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. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see. He is appearing in the upcoming ninth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It seems like he might be in every episode of it too. It looks like he’s also appearing in a movie called Hearts Beat Loud.

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.

Review: The Good Place: Status- Currently on NBC at 8:30/7:30 Central on Thursdays. Why I’ve seen it- In order to review this for this blog, 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.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: This show has been rebooted and is back with new episodes. It is on right now on HBO. I don’t know the timeslot and don’t know if I can watch it. Hopefully I can get someone to do a guest review for it, but that seems unlikely since that hasn’t happened before with other shows. Of course, if I could borrow a copy that someone that I know has, then I could just watch it on my own. But I don’t think that will happen without doing more research.

Hearts Beat Loud: This doesn’t have a release date yet, but it does have a release time of January 2018. The plot relates to a father and daughter forming a musical duo before she leaves for college. It sounds cool and hopefully will be good.

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. She also has a new project called Chiefs which could be a TV movie or show.

Doomsday: This show is has the following plot: 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. This will air on ABC if it airs at all. It probably isn’t moving forward as I haven’t seen it on the list of future ABC shows (which can change), but I will keep it here until I know for sure. I should do more research about it, but I haven’t yet. This was set to air last year and hasn’t yet, making me think that it isn’t moving forward, so I’m going to cut this from future updates.

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.

Chiefs: I hope that this becomes a show because it sounds interesting. Even if it is just a movie, I’d still like to see it. There are three female police officers who are hunting a serial killer. Just as long as they could be good and not sexy (sexy wouldn’t hurt, just don’t make them sex obsessed), this should be what I look for in a good show. Now it doesn’t have a release date yet. This sounds like the best of her potential projects thus far.

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.

Well, since you should know by now that I am including certain Elementary things related to this blog for the moment, then it makes sense to tell you about Nelsan Ellis who starred on that show and died. He has one more movie still coming out in the future. I’ll keep the updates here and will probably post the return date of Elementary itself if I can find the update in time. The movie is called True to the Game and is out now in theaters. The review of that movie should be in my Elementary blog should that show still be on hiatus when I can review it. This blog might have to share Thursdays with that blog until the show returns in the future. Of course, I could just change when this is updated. I can’t see it until it is out on DVD. I’ll make a note of its DVD release here. It might have a more detailed review then, just not in this blog.
