The contents of the press kit came wrapped in this eerie newspaper page. (Don't panic! It's fake.) Though I guess this also gives you quite the sneak peek at how I decorate my office walls... |
I feel inspired to write a new list, "Ten Gentlemen of the Movies". Wouldn't it be awesome if we had another run on British culture here in America? It would be lovely to have class be cool here in the states, we need an antidote to the Jersey Shore influence.
Now that I've had my "Clearly I'm turning into an old curmudgeon" moment, let's get back to the matter at hand. The skies are falling. Spielberg has deemed it so. His new alien invasion show "Falling Skies" premieres June 19th on TNT.
If there's one thing Spielberg does well, though there's obviously more than one, it's that any material he's associated with includes in-depth character development.
Yes, he deals in genre, but his films and shows always dig deeper into the human condition and how it's affected by aliens or ghosts or dinosaurs or war. Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances is his domain. To say I'm looking forward to the show is an understatement. So needless to say I was happy when I arrived home last Wednesday to a surprise propped up against my door...
(Preview for FALLING SKIES at the end of blog.)
