Spikes Scream Awards 2009 Recap
There’s a opalescent container on the stage, and twin girls dressed in white party dresses are raised to the top of the sphere, while a morbid nursery rhyme is recited. One of the girls raises a butcher knife to her throat and slices, and blood gushes out of the other sisters neck, staining her dress and the container.
This is the introduction to The Scream Awards 2009 which were broadcast on Spike. I will follow the categories, winners, and special events of the broadcast.
NBC Orders More Chuck Episodes!
It looks like Chuck isn't "staying in the car" for as long as we thought. Chuck Season 3 may be coming back sooner than we hoped. Instead of premiering in March of 2010 it may be back before the end of 2009. NBC has ordered six additional episodes of Chuck, and that's on top of the 13 episodes the network previously ordered, bringing the show’s season 3 total to 19 eps (just three shy of what’s considered a full season).
Here is the link to the EW article:

DVD Review: Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead
“What you don’t see will kill you” could not be more true when you’re in the cannibalistic mutants butcher shop. At night. So goes Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead, the third in the Wrong Turn franchise.
DVD Review: Ruby-Spears Superman
Man… cartoons used to really suck. Joe Ruby and Ken Spears were a pair of animators for Hanna-Barbera (they worked together on developing Scooby-Doo) who decided to spin off and found their own studio in the 70s. Their business plan (a sound one, and oft repeated) was to identify anything that kids were interested in and rush an animated take on it to TV quickly and for as little money as possible. This approach kept the company in steady business and gifted the world with such Saturday morning classics as Turbo Teen (hello, Knight Rider) and Rubik the Amazing Cube as well as the slightly more regarded Conan/Star Wars pastiche Thundarr the Barbarian among many, many others. The shows generally only lasted a season or two, which was fine since by then the catalyzing fad had died out anyway and it was time to find a new way to capture the attention of the elementary-school set.
