It Won't Be Baaaaaaack: "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Canceled (But Here's a Resistance Video From John Connor!)

Big, giant and prolonged sigh–as well as a cranky-old-lady shake of the fist–to our distant cousins over at the Fox television network who dinged BoomTown’s favorite sci-fi show, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” today. I am officially in a Summer Glau funk, with major gadget withdrawal. Loosely based on the movie franchise, the show garnered a passionate fan base online and off, but not enough to merit being renewed. It’s ironic since the latest film in the cyborg-versus-man epic, “Terminator Salvation,” will open this Thursday. But one of the TV show’s stars is fighting back online. All hail the Resistance!

Here Comes the Summer Movie Geektravaganza: Trek to Demons to Bots to Cyborgs to Potter!

With bootleg copies ripped on the Internet or not and with an $87 million opening weekend for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” it looks like the nerdiest summer movie season ever is off the races. Hollywood, caught in the digital maelstrom, certainly is fine and dandy making bank by co-opting all the techie themes, gadgets and special effects, with a slate of movies over the next months that are like catnip to geeks of all kinds. Including BoomTown, for example, which plans to fork over a lot of dough to pay for all the techtastic entertainment that those old media moguls can dish out before they collapse.

BoomTown is a freakish fan of cybernetic organisms–living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, duh!–and thus feels compelled to include this, the latest trailer from the upcoming fourth movie in the “Terminator” series, called “Terminator Salvation.” The franchise is everywhere these days, including a television series I am also obsessed with, called “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” But the big Skynet guns are trained on the movie blockbuster, which will be out next summer. Oh, they’ll be back alright.

Hulu Shimmies Into the Public Eye

in News on March 11, 2008 at 12:01 am PT

After a few months of private beta, Hulu will open itself to the public tomorrow with a full-court press of publicity. Hulu kind of deserves at least a little more attention, despite efforts by some to look for warts in the online video service, which is a joint venture between NBC Universal (GE) and News [...]
