Dolls Making the Rounds

Joss Whedon’s “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” is out on DVD Dec. 19th.

Kiefer Signed Your Bike

November 18th, 2008

What if you could cruise around on two wheels and see Jack Bauer between your legs?

Then bid on this 24 crew bike signed by the cast!

(His signature is on the front wheel rim)

To benefit a disabled crew member, the actors generously added their names to this official 24/Season 7 bicycle. Besides Kiefer’s handwriting, there’s Carlos and Mary Lynn as well as new cast members Janeane Garofalo, Cherry Jones, Annie Wershing, and Jon Voight. You’ll even get photos to prove it’s legit.

The greed of having such a treasure all to yourself is outweighed by the good karma of helping someone in need.

In Detroit, a group of young adults weather the worsening economy but refuse to move away from their hometown. “The auto industry they grew up knowing no longer exists, and they figure out ways to be happy with less,” Binder said. “They know where the $2 beer nights are and the all-you-can-eat buffet.”

Broke Pilot

November 11th, 2008

“Broke Friends” is a comedy pilot about an innocent Midwestern kid who relocates to New York, where he moves in with two scam artists.

Patrick Walsh and Sonny Lee wrote the script, while Luke Greenfield will direct and exec produce.

“It’s an ensemble comedy about which road you take in life — the long, hard-working grind to the top, or the hedonistic joyride at the bottom,” Greenfield explains.
