Good to see Josh Holloway in a new series.
ReplyDeletehope it's good and goes beyond the pilot stage :)
DeleteGENIUS sounds excellent.
ReplyDeleteAnd more pictures of Josh Holloway, thanks :)
We do like ensemble casts! Especially when they involve Jude Law....
DeleteHmm. I wonder if Colony will be as cryptic as Lost was.
ReplyDeleteHopefully not... I found LOST impossible to watch
DeleteSome of these movies, etc. sound so scary. Geez.
ReplyDeleteI'm came here via Blue Grumpster's place. You two have the cutest avatars. (Aww). Okay, bye for now.
Welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY, yep, me is impossibly adorable :)
DeleteYES YOU ARE!!! Oh and I have three blogs... one is a bit naughty... a bit... stop by when you get a moment!!!
DeleteWill do ASAP especially the naughty one :)
DeleteYou know I don't like SF, but ooohhh, I DO like Josh Holloway! Now I have to decide if I like him enough to tune in.
ReplyDeleteNot quite how I pictured The Rat-Man to look, but then again, I usually do picture people different in the book over how Hollywood thinks they should look.
The same about casting could go for the GENIUS movie, they've cast all those stars pretty randomly... some of them are supposed to have 20 or more years difference in age if they're supposed to play those characters
DeleteLooking forward to "Genius" -- I love movies about literary figures!
ReplyDeleteyou will probably enjoy it, Debs
DeleteWow, I missed a lot going on at your blog over the last day or two. Jeepers, you've been a busy blogger. Hope all else is well on your end.
ReplyDeleteCheers and spooky spooky.
a post a day keeps the doctor away
DeleteThat's what I do too, though lately I've been adding an extra here and there.
DeleteSo fun, this thing called blogging.
it helps me not think about real life, a stress reliever
