Lori is Alive - She Has To Be!

So aside from me, everyone, including Ryan seems to think that Lori is dead in the popular TV show, The Walking Dead.  It's been over a year since I pleaded with everyone to watch this series.  If you've never seen it - well - there's not much else I can say.

Here are the reasons I think Lori is Not Dead, or a Zombie.  She's still out there somewhere!

Little Carl, bless his heart, would never shoot his own mother.  I'm sorry, but as tough as he thinks he is, he doesn't have the cojones to shoot his mother's brains out.  Then there's the bloated zombie, really?  Talk about bad television.  When have you seen a bloated zombie?

When Rick finds the body, all he finds is hair in the zombie's mouth.  He also finds a bullet, but it's clean - there's no blood on it.  Furthermore when Rick shoots and stabs the zombie, there are no body parts pulled out of it's stomach.  No bones anywhere! That's kinda strange to me.  

And if you're one to follow the comic books, Hershel, Carl and Glenn are all dead in those books - this also leaves me to wonder whether Lori will return as a Zombie or is Alive!

Must Watch: Extended Dallas Trailer

"There is oil beneath this land... 

worth countless billions... 

every drop has a secret buried with it... 

and it all belongs to the Ewings."

Dammit, I'm excited! You can actually go to my blog and do a search of "Dallas" and you will find every blog I've written on this television series.  Ryan and I sat with me and watched all 14 seasons (14 years worth) over the last 2 years - we finished watching all 357 episodes last April.

If you're a true Dallas fan like I am; And Ryan is now.  You will not want to miss this extended trailer TNT released in December.  It is absolutely amazing and we cannot wait for the show to air this coming summer.  Word on the street is they will be releasing it in June.*crosses fingers*

TNT's "DALLAS" - First Look

If you missed last night's "First Look" on the return of "Dallas" to the small screen, then wait no more... I have the trailer from TNT right here.  If you're a fan of the old series, or remember the characters, this will definitely take you back to yesteryear, and we absolutely loved it!

The preview starts with Bobby (Patrick Duffy) with his all too familiar voice, "All those fights over Ewing Oil, and Southfork. We laid waste to everything in our path, J.R., and for what?”

OMG! This is Priceless!

Entertainment Weekly said it best:

"There was a shot of a liver-spotted hand, then a glimpse of some wildly overgrown white eyebrows — why, it was J.R. Ewing himself! Hagman sat in a chair in a darkened room, looking as though he was trying to turn Southfork into a set for The Godfather."

Most of the lines were from Bobby, but you got a sense of all the drama that would ensue.

“I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over money!” said Bobby.

“No drilling on my ranch!” said Bobby to Henderson’s John Ross.

The Good-looking and hot-tempered son of Bobby and Pam, Christopher (Metcalfe) angrily says, “Oil’s the past, John Ross.”

“Couldn’t disagree more,” snaps John Ross. “You’ll never be a Ewing, Christopher!”

The trailer cuts back and forth between J.R. and Bobby, and the new brood of Ewings.

“I don’t want them to be like us,” said Bobby, talking about the new-new-new Ewings.

And I also agree with Ken Tucker, from Entertainment Weekly, responding to Bobby's suggestion of not wanting the kids to be like them:

"Well, I do. The more the new young punks act like the ruthless barons of the 1980s hit, the better this series will be."

And this is exactly true, the more ruthless and scandalous John Ross and Bobby are, the stronger the show will be.  This is what made "Dallas" a powerhouse back in the 80's. 

It was also great hearing the infamous theme song in the background as the words, “Money,” “Power,” and “Rivalry” blazed across the screen.

You also have sense of betrayal, when a brief close-up of Sue Ellen telling John Ross, "Think of me as your ally," flashes across the screen.

For those who remember the original series, the last 5 years of the show, Sue Ellen was always siding with Bobby, or finding ways to get back at J.R.  So I'm interested to see what she meant by saying "ally" to John Ross.  I mean, he is her son after all, what won't a mother do for her son?

And finally, one of the most memorable lines from last night, “Bobby was always a fool” and “I’m the one who belongs on Southfork. It’s mine, and only mine.” J.R. proclaims.

A First Look At The New Series, DALLAS, on TNT Monday!

As most of you are aware, Ryan and I are fans of the television series, "Dallas."  Okay, well... maybe me, more-so than him, but that's besides the point. :-)

Back on April 25, I gave this brief little excerpt:

After two long years (357 episodes of oil drilling, backstabbing, and back-handed deals that included sex, adultery, alcohol, drugs, gays, murderers, and BBQs), Ryan and I finished watching 14 seasons of one of the world's most-beloved televisions series of all time - DALLAS. 

And boy, was it great!  We loved every bit of the drama and intrigue that came with the show.   After a long time waiting, we are finally getting a teaser this Monday on TNT while we watch the season premiere of "The Closer."   

The return of Dallas doesn't actually start till next summer, but I'm fine with that, I can wait 10 more months, it's no biggie.  If you're interested in a really cool intro, check out the TNT website for the show - it's really, really awesome.  Can you tell I'm excited? LOL.  Click on the picture up at the top to visit the site.

For an exclusive look at photos from the new series, and the cast, I posted them after the jump.

I'm Just A Zombie Standing in Front of a Zombie Asking it to Love Me! - Meredith Woerner

In what is so reminiscent of The Walking Dead from TNT, this live-action CGI short film is from the Media Design School's Graduate Diploma of Advanced 3D Productions in New Zealand. The short, titled "Rotting Hill," was produced in 12 weeks and features 22 digital effects shots.  I must warn you, if you have an easy stomach don't watch it.  The effects are so darn good, it's almost real.  I was watching this covering my mouth at times.

Something tells me my boyfriend, Ryan will love it.

Were' Done With Dallas!

 

After two long years (357 episodes of oil drilling, backstabbing, and back-handed deals that included sex, adultery, alcohol, drugs, gays, murderers, and BBQs), Ryan and I finished watching 14 seasons of one of the world's most-beloved televisions series of all time - DALLAS.  And it couldn't have happened at a much better time, because it wasn't until a few months ago that we learned the show was returning to our TV sets in the fall. 

It is not a remake as many people thought it was going to be, but for all intent and purposes it's a continuation of the drama that makes up the Ewing family.

Of course, along with seeing J.R.,

Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing

you'll be seeing his son, John Ross...

Josh Henderson as John Ross Ewing

And along with seeing J.R.'s brother, Bobby,

Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing

you'll be seeing his son Christopher...

Jesse Metcalfe as Christopher Ewing

Yes, you got that right.  It's the Ewing boys all grown up, and the producers couldn't have made a better casting decision when it came to finding who would play John Ross Ewing, III and Christopher Ewing, the sons of J.R. and Bobby respectively.

Josh Henderson is perfect for the role of John Ross, he has the aura of a bad boy that will work well with his character, and Jesse Metcalfe who will be playing the adopted son of Bobby and Pamela Ewing is just the right pick to play Christopher, because while Bobby was the heart of the show, J.R. played to it's strengths.

Ryan and I have yet to start watching the two movies that came 5 and 7 years after the series ended, but as soon as we are done with those, we will be hot and ready for the continuation of Dallas airing on TNT this fall - it's been 13 years too long. We are definitely excited.

Dallas Television Series Will Return!!!

I know this may sound cheesy, but I'm excited about the upcoming reboot of Dallas on TNT!!!  That means Ryan and I need to finish watching Seasons 12 & 13 of Dallas. LOL.

When I learned they were going to make a Dallas movie a few years back, starring John Travolta and Jennifer Lopez, I was excited; but not until they ruined it by saying they were going to make a spoof of one of the most popular television series of all time.

The new series is to focus on Bobby and JR Ewing's sons (Christopher and John Ross Ewing), and their circle of friends, with three original stars heading back to the Ranch.  Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) and Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) are almost certain to return along with the possibility of Larry Hagman (JR Ewing), who's still negotiating a contract with the Producers.

I know Ryan's thrilled too :-) Right babe? he he.
