RT on DVD: Sex and the City, High School Musical 2 and Coppola's Godfather Restoration!
4. Coming Soon: A Stephen Colbert Christmas Special!
Though he failed to successfully campaign for President (you can still write him in), Comedy Central pundit Stephen Colbert is giving his fans something to be thankful for this holiday season: his own Christmas special! A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! will combine comedy and music, with performances by musical guests like Feist, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, John Legend, and controversial party-flopping country singer, Toby Keith, (self-confessed Democrat, 2004 Bush supporter, and frenemy of the Dixie Chicks).
In grand holiday special tradition, A Colbert Christmas will follow Colbert as he gets snowed in one winter night. He's joined in his wintry cabin by his celebrity friends (Feist as an angel, John Legend as a forest ranger) who help him sing songs like "There Are Much Worse Things To Believe In" (with Costello), "Little Dealer Boy" (with Nelson), and "Hanukkah" (with Jon Stewart), all original songs written by Daily Show exec producer David Javerbaum and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger.
A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All! will air on November 23 and make its way to DVD November 25.

on Sep 22 2008 06:48 PM I'll get The Godfather trilogy on blu ray, 1st two r the best movies ever and the 2nd one I think is underated and really good but not great. I recomend Leatherheads and Run Fatboy RUn as rentals. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 22 2008 06:49 PM Also I'm going to rent Pathology and The Foot Fist Way tomorrow. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 22 2008 06:49 PM Feist as an Angel in a Colbert Chritmas special.... Best idea ever? That alone makes my life living in a day with HSM and SatC. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 22 2008 06:54 PM The RT comment thing is killing my posts - I meant - ZOMG LESLIE FEIST AS AN ANGEL IN A SATIRICAL COLBERT CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.... Best idea ever? That alone makes my life worth living in a day with HSM and SatC. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 22 2008 07:38 PM =( There should always be a warning that a picture of horseface is about to be. bleh. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 22 2008 07:39 PM Wait a minute? Is Thandie Newton supposed to be pregnant with Simon Pegg's child? There's a fantasy film for you... Crank stank so I guess Pathology will... um, be... Crapology? Newsflash: It's not enough to have shocking taboo-breaking acts in your films. The story has to be halfway decent too. (See 'Caligula', or rather, DON'T!) Ah, 'High School Musical', now there's a franchise I can get behind... preferably at least 5 miles behind. HSM seems to represent everything bad about the Disney company. It's uninspired, watered-down milquetoast. And this is coming from someone who idolizes Walt. I didn't see any mention of 'Foot Fist Way' but I'll be watching that tomorrow. Unless the video store runs out of 'Sex and the City' and all the Martini-chugging, Prada-wearing cougars mistake 'Foot Fist Way' for a fetish porn... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 22 2008 11:03 PM Oh, vitajex...I think you're being too harsh on HSM. That Zac Efron kid is a cutie. So tan...such well-kept eyebrows...so polite, yet so good at singing and dancing! Sigh... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 23 2008 12:02 AM In reply to this comment (#2041780) I concur with Ms. Yamato! I really enjoyed the first two HSM films and will see the third on the big screen. Yes, hollywood cliche, but still fun. Jerry Ortega is a great director and choriogropher. And yes, Zac is dreamy! Don't worry Bruce, until he stars with Zooey. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 23 2008 05:48 AM Zac Efron is a cyborg. Disney built him because they ran out of real kids who were willing to look stupid...... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 23 2008 06:50 AM This has to have been the worst summer for renting movies. My local video store called to make sure I didn't die. October is long overdue. P.S. that list of bad actors should have had Freddie Prinze Jr. as it's patriarch. He sucks so bad he inadvertenly relaunched Brian Austin Green's career. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 23 2008 01:55 PM In reply to this comment (#2042012) Concur, him and Miley Cyrus are cyborgs sent from the future to bring the apocalypse by dumbing people down! Will John Conner be abel to stop them! We will find out Oct.24th! (Reply to this) |

on Sep 23 2008 04:26 PM In reply to this comment (#2041780) I noticed you didn't list "so hetero"... (Reply to this) |
