Doctor Who Countdown - Day of the Doctor

So I am a late bloomer when it comes to Doctor Who. I was interested in a while, but need to watch things from the pilot on ward in order to really watch a series. Sine Doctor Who started before I was born, I kept pushing it off.

THEN, a friend told me I could survive if I started with the ninth Doctor - and so I did.

SPACE channel (nerdy Canadian channel) started airing 8 episodes every Sunday in preparation for the 50th anniversary and so I have (mostly) kept up with those by marathoning episodes as I have time.

I fell a bit behind due to Halloween party planning and work and real life, but I am back at it and almost finished the tenth Doctor (David Tennant *swoons*) and ready to start the eleventh doctor soon (Matt Smith, who I met at Comic-Con in July.. saved his life actually #truestory )

Unfortunately, the local theatres sold out of the 50th anniversary Doctor Who tickets, but I have plans to go to a friend and colleagues house to watch unless we can somehow score some tickets if they release more.

Day of the Doctor Nov. 23 - who will be watching?

Hypable compiled a list of the particularly awesome things we see in this short preview:

0:07 – Gallifrey, seemingly before the Time War.
0:20 – Our first official look at Smith and Tennant working together in character.
0:25 – There’s a view of Rose with her eyes looking all Bad Wolf-y.
0:29 – Clara disappearing via the Vortex manipulator, which can be a throwback to Captain Jack’s own Vortex manipulator.
0:034 – John Hurt’s Doctor mysteriously reaching for a diamond. Could this be what he used to end the Time War?

We’re ridiculously excited about this trailer, as it gives us a whole new look into what the 50th anniversary Doctor Who special has to offer.

Earlier this week the synopsis for the trailer was released, which reads, “The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.”

Hunger Games Theme Parks may be coming....

This would be epic-amazing! I absolutely LOVE Harry Potter World, and can only imagine how amazing it would be to visit a "Hunger Games" theme park... compete in the arena? Ride the train into the capitol? visit the different districts? go though training? hmmmm.... Sounds like lot's of possibilities!

Variety reports:

Lionsgate is exploring getting into the theme-park business, taking advantage of its blockbuster “Hunger Games” franchise.

CEO Jon Feltheimer made the disclosure Friday during a conference call with analysts following release of the studio’s quarterly earnings report.

Feltheimer said Lionsgate had been approached about “Hunger Games” theme parks in two territories and was considering those possibilities. He gave no further details.

The CEO’s disclosure came in response to an analyst question about which areas of “Hunger Games” merchandising had performed well. Motion Picture Group Co-Chairman Rob Friedman had said that Lionsgate was “very excited” by sales of the “Capitol Couture” line of attire.

Theo James voice for car commercial

Thanks to my bloggy sisters at Trisandfour.com for finding this!! 

Theo James, Four/Tobias in the Divergent movie, is the voice in this commercial... the accent, the tone, very sexy!

Divergent Character Poster: Miles Teller as Peter

Fandango released the last character poster for this week's 'poster a day' campaign from Summit/Lionsgate.

Check out Miles Teller as Peter Hayes, the central antagonist in the film and one of Tris' mortal enemies! 

Who was your fave this week? Christina was the one I was most looking forward too and not going to lie - pretty bad ass! She was my most favourite to meet at Comic-Con of the 5 this week.

Homeland Season 3 continues to surprise...

Hypable writes:

One of Homeland’s exciting aspects this season is its ability to be completely unpredictable (for better or for worse). Once we learn what Saul wants out of Javadi, perhaps the season’s endgame will become clearer.

We suspect his ideas may have something to do with Brody. We’re also certain that whatever Saul has in mind, it has to be done in time for him to show the president that he can remain CIA Director.

Another clip from Homeland season 3, episode 7 depicts Adal telling Quinn that he’s the lead suspect in episode 6′s double murder thanks to a security camera at a neighbor’s home.

Episode 7 “Icarus” airs Sunday, November 10 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on Showtime.

Divergent Character poste: Zoe Kravitz as Christina

Huffington Post has the exclusive today for Divergent's daily character poster reveals. This is the one I have been most waiting for - Zoe Kravitz as Christina...

Of course you can see all the posters and fan art and animated posters at the official Divergent Tumblr site here.

Divergent Character poster: Eric - Jai Courtney

Eric is a brutal force with a damaged moral compass. His cruel training methods and ruthless leadership make him a quick adversary to Tris, the Abnegation transfer and protagonist of the story.

Mekhi Phifer - MAX - Divergent Poster

It's day two of new Divergent character posters. We get a new one each day…. today is MAX!

Mekhi Phifer will play Max and here is his new character poster:

You can see the animated version at Divergent’s Official Tumblr site.

As Max has said of his faction, "Dauntless is about ordinary acts of bravery and having the courage to stand up for another. Respect that, Do us proud."

So who do you predict we will see tomorrow?

Giggly Veronica Roth excited for Divergent Movie

Divergent author Veronica Roth has revealed her excitement about the forthcoming film adaptation of her debut novel.

The 25-year-old, who recently completed the Divergent trilogy with the release of Allegiant, told Digital Spy that she is "giggly" at the prospect of seeing her novel turned into a movie

"I've never seen behind that curtain before," she said. "Now I see that it's tough to make a movie. There's a lot of detail. It makes me a little giggly."

We are giggly too Veronica! The countdown to March is on.... The article also talks about how Veronica Roth came up with some ideas for Divergent.... while studying exposure therapy..

"Exposure therapy is when they repeatedly expose someone to a thing that stimulates their fear response in a safe environment," she explained.

"Someone who's afraid of heights is continually put in a glass elevator because it's safe but it's high.

"I thought it would be interesting if someone were to apply that therapy technique to regular, healthy people to make them fear something.

"That was where the idea came from. It all started with the creepy stuff and the rest sort of came out around it."

I love the idea and the story of how she came to create the Dauntless faction!

Asked if she is hoping to see all three of her Divergent novels turned into movies, Roth replied: "That'd be cool. I hope that it does well and people like it but obviously there's no guarantee."

True... but I have a feeling she has nothing to worry about... if every fan of the book sees the movie once, she is set...

That Awkward Moment - Miles Teller twerking

Miles Teller is so funny, he is extremely confident, ok cocky... so watching this video reminded me of this past summer when I had the opportunity to meet him... such a funny guy...

Meet Tori - Divergent Character Poster

All this week we will get new character posters for Divergent.... today is TORI!!!!

See the animated poster here!

TORI

Tori is a member of the Dauntless faction who administers Tris’ aptitude test and first discovers that Tris is Divergent.  As she continues to provide Tris with advice, the two establish a bond that helps Tris throughout her journey. “In some parts of the ancient world, the hawk symbolized the sun. Back when I got this, I figured if I always had the sun on me, I wouldn’t be afraid of the dark. . . . Now it reminds me of the fear I’ve overcome.” –Tori 

"Most Dauntless get tattoos as a reminder of the past, a mark of progress. There's also the relationship to pain (a true Dauntless doesn't mind the pain!), but mostly tattoos are a sign of overcoming obstacles, for them, a way of marking struggle and progress on the body" -Veronica Roth

OUATIW - Once Upon a Time in Wonderland TS photos

I love OUAT and OUATIW has been ok so far, it is hard to tell where it will go. I always give locally filmed shows  achance, even though they tend to get cancelled (Hellcats, Harper's Island, Life Unexpected, to name a few)

We have had long term successes too though (Supernatural, X-Files, for example) and I love Once Upon a Time.

What is neat, is being able to go to filming locations and sometimes meet the cast and see the  sets. OUAT is great for that, as Steveston is such a nice town and leaves the "Storybrook" signs up in many places. I took my daughter there last spring as they filmed the finale.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, however, is a lot of FX and studio filming, so I am hoping there will be an opportunity to check out exterior filming one day this season.

Check out some behind the scenes photos: HERE

Do you watch the show? Thoughts?

Hunger Games: Miami Victory Tour video

NSFW: One Direction Lovers...

According to Sugar Scape article:

Ok, I didn't read the article, but this photo caught my eye - clearly manipped but yes... wow...

moving on now...

Bye Bye Bye.... N Sync together again

Chris Kirkpatrick got married and his boy band buddies were there to celebrate with him... I wonder if they did a lil' song and dance ha ha
