The Gag Reel
By: Mo Diggs
ADULT SWIM MIGHT GET WEIRDER: Xavier: Renegade Angel (from makers of Wonder Showzen) set to debut on Adult Swim 11/2.
DANE IN REAL LIFE: Turns out Dan In Real Life had a decent opening weekend. Critics are also giving the film accolades, reluctantly admitting they liked Dane Cook's performance.
COLBERT CAMPAIGN REPORT
--From a blog covering the fascinating world of Election Law: "A corporation cannot fund the express advocacy of a candidate for federal office out of its treasury funds. So General Motors could not run a newspaper ad saying 'Vote for Colbert for President.' The funding has to come from its political action committee. But there's an exemption in the law for 'any news story, commentary, or editorial distributed through the facilities of any broadcasting station, newspaper, magazine, or other periodical publication, unless such facilities are owned or controlled by any political party, political committee, or candidate.'"
--RADIO SENSATION Jesse Thorn interviews Colbert.
--Ed Helms throws his hat into the ring. Perhaps his appearance at The Office convention was his first campaign stop.
--What would Colbert's cabinet look like?
ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT KNOCKED UP?: Even the trailer was revolutionary; now more R-rated trailers are hitting the Web.
BEE MOVIE BUZZ: We here at The Apiary love anything involving bees and/or buzz. Thus far, Seinfeld's film has gotten two stinging reviews. Both Variety and Hollywood Reporter, two outlets who exist solely to fellate everyone in the business, compare the film unfavorably against Ratatouille. This sort of lukewarm reception by the trade mags is comparable to the internal turmoil encountered by a Nintendo Power staff reviewer when deciding to give a game an 8 or a 9. Could this film make Seinfeld a bee-list celebrity? In other news, Seinfeld is guest-hosting Spike Feresten this Saturday.
HULUBALOO: Does Hulu have a chance? NBC/Fox has made the beta launch of their YouTube killer private, so the next best thing is this link.
30 ROCKS INTERNET: 30 Rock does best SNL imitation yet by having a viral video hit.
DVD PICKS:
For Halloween, Paul Lynde Halloween Special.
For the rest of week: The Kids In The Hall Megaset
