Vin Diesel – I Only ACT Like I Can Drive:
Vin Diesel is an incredible actor — because he’s been pretending to be an amazing driver in all those “Fast and the Furious” movies, but turns out parking spots can be a bit, uhh … challenging?

Endgame, Shattered and Stargate Universe [I read stuff]

Endgame, Shattered, and Stargate Universe:
It’s almost enough to make me lose hope, all these fantastic shows being cancelled. Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, utter crap reality shows are doing great. It only reaffirms that the vast majority of people are effing morons.
Vancouver TV productions get multiple Gemini nominations
The Vancouver-filmed mystery series Endgame, cancelled this past spring by the Showcase network after one season, earned a Gemini nomination for best dramatic series yesterday, along with several other nominations.
Katharine Isabelle, who played a sympathetic hotel bartender opposite series star Shawn Doyle, was nominated as best featured supporting actress, while guest star David Richmond-Peck was nominated for an Endgame episode. The show was also nominated for best cross-platform project for its online interactive site, and best opening titles.
The also-cancelled and also filmed in Vancouver crime series Shattered, which aired on Global starring Callum Keith Rennie as a traumatized cop, earned Rennie a best lead actor nomination and co-star Camille Sullivan a best lead actress nod. Kari Skogland was nominated for directing an episode.

Damn! I’ve been loving the Chicago Code, and after losing another cop show I liked -The Good Guys – this really sucks. I’m kind of cringing for Chase now.
THE CHICAGO CODE 1.12 ‘Greylord & Gambat’:
If you’re a fan of television, there’s always going to be a show that you love that gets canceled prematurely. It’s inevitable. Either through low ratings or network mismanagement, some series just don’t take off. This calender year in particular was hard for me, because I already lost “Terriers,” “Stargate Universe” and “Lights Out.” If “The Chicago Code” could have been saved, it would have made my spring.
Because this show is everything I want from a cop drama. It has sharp writing, great characters, compelling stories… “The Chicago Code” really has it all.
But there is one bit of good news. We’re going to get an ending for this series. This week’s episode and next week’s finale are actually going to wrap up the Alderman Gibbons storyline that’s been percolating since episode one.

Superheroes and Supervillains and Darth Maul!
Stumbled upon a fantastic SPACE channel commercial featuring Darth Maul and what he’s up to these days and it reminds me of a couple of other fantastic SPACE channel commercials that I love – the Superheroes and Supervillains commercials! Those kids crack me up 
Enjoy!
Reboot These Sci-Fi Shows Next
Of course the list would start with Firefly. If ever there was a series that cried out for more seasons, it was this show. So it tops the list. I’ll highlight the rest of my faves and you can check out the link at Wired for the rest:

#1: Firefly
Bring back Firefly!!! –Trev
More Firefly! Although that doesn’t need to be reimagined — quite daft at core. Zombies in a 40-planet solar system. No faster-than-light travel, but daft from another direction. –galfridus
More Firefly, and original science-fiction programming in general. The scripts are out there; it’s not rocket science. Take a risk. –Damob21
Firefly. No question about it. –samunj
