TV Chit Chat - October 2008


Even if you've never seen Chuck, these wacky stories are well worth the read...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Actual Scene



Chuck is being hung upside-down out of a window by one man. “Before you do anything rash, I think you should know I have the cipher!”

“Hand it over right now.”

“Don’t you think we should discuss terms first?” he shouts nervously, and the guy grabs him and pulls him up. Chuck is now standing on the ledge high above the busy street. The only thing keeping him from falling is the man’s grip.

“Now. Who are you?”

“You know, you probably wouldn’t believe me,” Chuck hastily replies. The man loosens his grip on Chuck’s tie. “Ahh! Oh!”

“Last chance. Who are you?”

“Chuck.”

“Okay…now tell me everything, Chuck.”

Chuck’s eyes widen, and suddenly the picture freezes as Chuck continues in a voice-over: “There is no way he is going to believe me, and I don’t blame him.” He goes on to quickly explain his background, how he’s the secret intersect an all, and oh yeah. “Of course, I can’t tell this guy that!”

The guy loosens his grip and Chuck rushes to explain, “Okay, okay! I kinda, sort of work for the CIA and the NSA on my off hours when I’m not working on the store—this is kind of a second job for me—and though I don’t look it being lanky of build, you should know that I’m probably, the most important intelligence asset—“ he pauses to catches his breath and nervously look down. “In the world.”


The guy just stares at him a second, then answers, “That is the single, dumbest story I’ve ever heard.”

“That very well may be, but,” Chuck warns, “If you drop me, there are a couple of people who are going to be very very upset.”

*Cue shotgun blast and door busting open*

Chuck’s voice-over continues: Meet Sarah and Casey. They’re here to protect me. *flashback scenes of Sarah* That’s Sarah. She’s here to protect me. *Sarah punching out the bad guys in her undercover outfit* Believe me. I know. *Cut to Casey* That’s Casey. He works for the NSA. He’s not as pretty.

“Let the geek go!” Casey yells, gun aimed at the bad guy.

“Wait!” Sarah quickly yells. “Not out the window.”

Casey shoots her a look. “Aren’t we picky.”

The guy glances at them, then tosses Chuck across the room, who yells until Casey catches him and drops him to a nearby couch.

Chuck: *scared and out of breath* Nice hands Casey.

The bad guy jumps out the window and Casey runs to watch him slide down a cable and run away.

Sarah: Why didn’t you stay in the car?

Chuck: You know what? It’s never safe in the car!

Casey turns around. “Well did you get it?” Chuck doesn’t answer. “Tell me you got it.”

Still slightly out of breath and shell-shocked from his near-death experience, Chuck just raises the cipher. “Yeah I got it! Of course I got it, it’s me.”

Casey snatches it out of his hand and walks out and Chuck falls back against the couch. Sarah gives him a smile and heads after Casey.

Paula's Scene


Chuck is being hung upside-down out of an ISLAND by one ICE TEA. “Before you do anything SOFT, I think you should know I have the LIVER!”

“EAT it over right now.”

“Don’t you think we should discuss BONES first?” he shouts HAPPILY, and the guy DANCES him and pulls him up. Chuck is now COUGHING on the CUP high above the busy SNOW. The only thing keeping him from falling is the ICE TEA’S LOLLIPOP.

“Now. Who are you?”

“You know, you probably wouldn’t believe me,” Chuck QUICKLY replies. The ICE TEA loosens his grip on Chuck’s SHAMPOO. “Ahh! Oh!”

“Last chance. Who are you?”

“Chuck.”

“Okay…now HORSE me everything, Chuck.”

Chuck’s NIPPLES widen, and suddenly the FIGHT freezes as Chuck continues in a voice-over: “There is no way he is going to JUMP me, and I don’t blame him.” He goes on to SLOWLY explain his FORK, how he’s the secret SHOE an all, and oh yeah. “Of course, I can’t SNIFF this guy that!”

The guy loosens his BRA and Chuck rushes to explain, “Okay, okay! I kinda, sort of SQUEEZE for the CIA and the NSA on my off hours when I’m not KISSING on the MAIL BOX—this is kind of a second WASH for me—and though I don’t look it being STICKY of build, you should know that I’m probably, the most important intelligence ONION—“ he pauses to catches his breath and nervously look down. “In the HOLE.”

The guy just TOUCHES at him a second, then answers, “That is the single, SPOOKIEST story I’ve ever heard.”

“That very well may be, but,” Chuck warns, “If you TWIST me, there are a couple of people who are going to be very very STUPID.”

*Cue DESK blast and ELEVATOR busting open*

Chuck’s voice-over continues: Meet Sarah and Casey. They’re here to RUN me. *flashback scenes of Sarah* That’s Sarah. She’s here to TURN me. *Sarah REACHING out the bad guys in her undercover GARBAGE* Believe me. I know. *Cut to Casey* That’s Casey. He works for the NSA. He’s not as QUIET.

“Let the BEER go!” Casey yells, HAMMER aimed at the bad ICE TEA.

“Wait!” Sarah HOPELESSLY yells. “Not out the RUG.”

Casey shoots her a look. “Aren’t we WET.”

The ICE TEA SUCKS at them, then CRIES Chuck across the room, who SINGS until Casey KEEPS him and drops him to a nearby SOAP.

Chuck: *WEIRD and out of breath* Nice TEETH Casey.

The bad ICE TEA WHISPERS out the SHOE LACE and Casey SMOKES to watch him slide down a SCARF and LAUGH away.

Sarah: Why didn’t you BURP in the FIRE?

Chuck: You know what? It’s never FAT in the FIRE!

Casey STARES around. “Well did you GROWL it?” Chuck doesn’t answer. “Tell me you GROWLED it.”

Still slightly out of LUBRICANT and shell-shocked from his near-SPIDER experience, Chuck just raises the LIVER. “Yeah I GROWLED it! Of course I GROWLED it, it’s me.”

Casey TASTES it out of his hand and GIGGLES out and Chuck falls back against the ROCK. Sarah gives him a SWORD and POKES after Casey.

~*~*~

*sigh* How many times do you have to be reminded to burp the fire? And I agree. Spooky story indeed! Ice teas can be very scary...Oh man that whole thing was hilarious!

~*~*~

Meggie's Scene


Chuck is being hung upside-down out of a SOUP BOWL by one MR. POTATO HEAD. “Before you do anything MUSHY, I think you should know I have the UFO!”

“BITE it over right now.”

“Don’t you think we should discuss MOUNTAINS first?” he shouts BEWITCHINGLY, and the guy BURNS him and pulls him up. Chuck is now TWIRLING on the CROWN high above the busy TEDDY BEAR. The only thing keeping him from falling is the MR. POTATO HEAD’S PIANO.

“Now. Who are you?”

“You know, you probably wouldn’t believe me,” Chuck BERSERKLY replies. The MR. POTATO HEAD loosens his grip on Chuck’s 7 LAYER DIP. “Ahh! Oh!”

“Last chance. Who are you?”

“Chuck.”

“Okay…now SING me everything, Chuck.”

Chuck’s ELBOWS widen, and suddenly the CURTAIN ROD freezes as Chuck continues in a voice-over: “There is no way he is going to DIG me, and I don’t blame him.” He goes on to COYLY explain his CHIMNEY, how he’s the secret TOILET and all, and oh yeah. “Of course, I can’t FORGET this guy that!”

The guy loosens his FINGERNAIL and Chuck rushes to explain, “Okay, okay! I kinda, sort of WAX for the CIA and the NSA on my off hours when I’m not BREAK-DANCING on the GRAND CANYON —this is kind of a second LUNCH BOX for me—and though I don’t look it being EMBARRASSED of build, you should know that I’m probably, the most important intelligence SAILBOAT —“ he pauses to catches his breath and nervously look down. “In the GARDEN.”

The guy just KNITS at him a second, then answers, “That is the single, GIGANTIC story I’ve ever heard.”

“That very well may be, but,” Chuck warns, “If you OUTBID me, there are a couple of people who are going to be very very MYSTERIOUS.”

*Cue DENCHERS blast and ICE CREAM CAKE busting open*

Chuck’s voice-over continues: Meet Sarah and Casey. They’re here to IMITATE me. *flashback scenes of Sarah* That’s Sarah. She’s here to KISS me. *Sarah SHRINKING out the bad guys in her undercover HAMBURGER BUN* Believe me. I know. *Cut to Casey* That’s Casey. He works for the NSA. He’s not as CREEPY.

“Let the BEAN go!” Casey yells, MASK aimed at the bad MR. POTATO HEAD.

“Wait!” Sarah EXTEMPORANEOUSLY yells. “Not out the BIGFOOT.”

Casey shoots her a look. “Aren’t we FAT.”

The MR. POTATO HEAD STINKS at them, then EXPLODES Chuck across the room, who HIDES until Casey MELTS him and drops him to a nearby BURRITO.

Chuck: * FUZZY and out of breath* Nice LIVERS Casey.

The bad MR. POTATO HEAD SPELLS out the COW PASTURE and Casey SLASHES to watch him slide down a BLANKET and REBUILD away.

Sarah: Why didn’t you JUMP in the PHONE BOOTH?

Chuck: You know what? It’s never TALENTED in the PHONE BOOTH!

Casey SLAM DUNKS around. “Well did you SPIT it?” Chuck doesn’t answer. “Tell me you SPIT it.”

Still slightly out of BUBBLES and shell-shocked from his near- DIAPER experience, Chuck just raises the UFO. “Yeah I SPIT it! Of course I SPIT it, it’s me.”

Casey SPOILS it out of his hand and SASHAYS out and Chuck falls back against the PRUNE. Sarah gives him a SOMBRERO and SMITES after Casey.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX

I wouldn't mind I kinda, sort of waxing for the CIA and the NSA on my off-hours. But that bad Mr. Potato Head...*shudders* Talk about a near-diaper experience! How odd that we'd both randomly choose to insert livers into this week's scene!! LOL

Joaquin Phoenix quits acting

October 30th 2008 16:08

That's right, at the red carpet benefit for the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, a charity founded by Paul Newman, the actor told E! Online reporter Jason Kennedy that:
["Two Lovers", his romantic drama with Gwyneth Paltrow] will be my last performance as an actor. I'm not doing films anymore... I've been through that. I've done it... I'm dead serious.

From Yahoo:
Phoenix is apparently giving up acting to pursue music, a passion of his since he learned to play guitar to play the role of Johnny Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line." According to Billboard, Phoenix is working on an album with Tim Burgess, frontman for the UK group The Charlatans. Burgess said, "Once he learnt guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music.


Wow...even though I'm excited to hear his music (I loved Walk The Line), I'm really sad to see him go as an actor. There was just something about his quiet vulnerability that was amazing on screen. Don't go Joaquin! I miss you already! Couldn't you just take a break for a while? Oh well, I wish him all the best in his music career, and can't wait to see what he comes out with!

Who would win in a fight…?

October 30th 2008 06:02
Same actor, different characters. You decide!


First up, we have The Vampire vs. The FBI Agent in David Boreanaz’s portrayal of two different characters from two very different TV shows. What say you Angel and Bones fans? Will it be the Vampire cursed with a soul, seeking redemption? Or the All-American FBI Agent risking his life in the name of truth, justice, and a decent slice of pie?


In this corner, Matthew Fox the oldest of five orphaned siblings. In that corner, Matthew Fox a medical doctor turned Island castaway leader. When you think about it, running a household of younger siblings is a lot like running an island of crazy castaways. Fox, party of 20, er no make that 15…14…13--wow, these castaways are dropping like hot unknown actors in Supernatural demon smoke!!


Next up we have James Pickens Jr. as Dr. Richard Webber (a.k.a. The Chief) on Grey’s Anatomy vs. James Pickens Jr. as Deputy Director Kersh on The X-files. Is the scalpel really quicker than the gun? Wait, did we ever see Kersh fire a gun? Whoa. Maybe The Chief has a better chance than I thought!


And finally, that’s right people, it’s David Duchovny as a witty self-deprecating FBI Agent in a relentless pursuit of The Truth, vs. a witty self-deprecating writer (non-practicing) in a relentless pursuit of his ex! *FLASH OF WHITE LIGHT* And finally, that’s right people, it’s—Okay, very funny, who stole the nine minutes of the fight?

Too old to go trick-or-treating and too lazy to dress up for Halloween? Well have no fear, TV’s got ya covered. It’s that time of year again: The Obligatory Halloween Flood of Horror Movies! This Friday FX, AMC, and TMC alone have enough horror movies to keep you occupied all day.


For example, FX lists Wes Craven Presents Dracula III: Legacy starting a early as 9 AM. Also on the schedule is Bats, I Still Know What you Did Last Summer, Cold Creek Manor, House of Wax, Halloween: H20, Ghost Ship.

Over on AMC, we have Jeepers Creepers, A Nightmare on Elm Street (look for Johnny Depp’s bed scene--no, I’m not talking THAT kind of bed scene…), and classics like The Fly, House of Dracula, House of Frankenstein, and Horror of Dracula, Halloween, followed by, not 2, but Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, (for parts 2 and 3 see Spike TV but stick around on AMC for 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (after he’s returned)). You get a break from Halloween (the movies, not the day) with Jeepers Creepers and Constantine. Then it’s Resident Evil, House on Haunted Hill, and…wait for it…that’s right, end the night with none other than Return to House on Haunted Hill!

And on TMC we get Kwaidan, Spirits of the Dead, Cat People, the very freaky “Freaks”, The Devil Doll (not to be confused with the later showing of The Devil Bat), Mark of the Vampire, White Zombie, The Body Snatchers (circa 1945), Bedlam, The Ghoul, The Haunted Palace, Die, Monster, Die, The Shuttered Room, The Dunwich Horror, and Blood Feast

Over on Bravo you can catch The Omen and The Exorcist back to back, and then more Exorcists... But if you miss the beginning of The Omen, you can catch the same thing on Spike TV a half an hour later, followed by none other than Damien—Omen II, and II: The Final Conflict (which if you’ll look up at AMC you’ll see wasn’t really the final conflict at all)

(What? No Screams? What is the world coming to? )

But if scary movies aren’t your thing, there’s always The Bencwarmers on FX, Groundhog Day, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, and The Da Vinci Code on TNT, Fun with Dick and Jane on TBS, Wayne’s World on Comedy Central, and Center State and The Bodyguard on the Oxygen channel. For “Police Academy” see TV Land.

If you’ve read through this entire list and still can’t find anything that suits your Halloween fancy, there’s always the Ghost Hunters 7-hour live marathon on Sci-Fi. Logon and become part of the team as they revisit Ft. Delaware to prove the former Civil War post. The event is hosted by Steve Valentine and “Destination Truth”’s Josh Gates. Fun times.

This week's song was featured in The X-files black & white episode "Post-Modern Prometheus". The scene it was used in (in which the kind-hearted "monster" finally gets to go to a Cher concert and dance with the woman he loves) is still one of my all time favorite X-files episode endings (and one of my favorite episodes in general ). The story was so sweet and that dance at the end with Mulder and Scully is classic! The song is Cher's "Walking in Memphis". Enjoy!

October 21st 2008 16:23

Congratulations to Gillian Anderson and boyfriend Mark Griffiths on the birth of their son Felix! According to Gillian's rep, he was born 10-15, only two days shy of the famous X-files 10-13. So an Oscar and a Felix, huh? Awwww Congrats!! EDIT: As you can see in the comments below, it just hit me that "Felix" is actually an anagram for "X-file"! Coolest name ever. Love it!

Meredith is standing in her candle house. “We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhoods. The shoe fits Cinderella. The Frog turns into the Prince. Sleeping Beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time, and then they lived happily ever after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don’t come true.” Each candle is slowly blown out by the wind as she waits for Derek… “It’s the other stories, the ones that begin with “dark and stormy nights” and end in the unspeakable. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become reality

Supernatural: Monster Movie

October 17th 2008 22:21

Okay this episode was so good I don’t even know where to start. Let’s just say fans of classic horror films, parodies of horror films, and just plain hilarious fun HAVE to watch this episode!! From the classic credits, to the black and white broadcast, to the fact that The Mummy has to use dry ice to create his spooky effects and Dracula walks around with his hand constantly covering his face and has a coupon for non-garlic pizza, this episode itself is classic! Definitely worth a watch even if you’ve never seen an episode of Supernatural. Okay, wow, that was long. LoL On with the actual recap! [ Click here to read more ]
