Each week I take 5 news items from the current week from the entertainment industry, list them out here and then give my take on them. This is Take 5.
1. World Series Goes to Game 7 – I don’t really have a horse in this race but any game 7 in a championship series is exciting. Both lineups are full of power and both have had impressive bullpens throughout the regular season. I’m hoping that Texas is able to overtake St. Louis, they haven’t won a series yet. I am disappointed that this means no new Fringe this week and that the new NBC show Grimm won’t get a fair chance tonight as many people will turn for a World Series Game 7. Chuck will also get hurt by this, but it’s the final season anyways.
2. Harry Potter DVD’s to disappear after this year – So Warner Bros. is playing the Disney Vault card. Probably a smart move that will mean huge sales this holiday. The only question is, when they get released from the vault will DVD’s still be relevant or will electronic media be the king? They will have to do something pretty special to get big sales from them again.
3. Nintendo Reports Record Losses – Ever since I was born Nintendo has been a profit making company until this year when it will report losses of over 100 Billion. This is mainly due to the possible failure of the 3DS. I won’t claim that it is a failure until after Christmas however. Nintendo has made a lot of mistakes since they released the Wii. I honestly don’t think that they thought it would work and now just don’t know what to do. Hopefully the house that Mario built will be able to right itself.
4. New Charlie Sheen Series to air on FX – It’s called Anger Management and I couldn’t care less. Odds are this show will be a joke, people are so over Charlie Sheen that I see this as being a show that gets boycotted by everyone. Then again people still watch The Jersey Shore.
5. Thor Dies . . . Again – Last week was the conclusion to the Marvel summer series Fear Itself. It centered around Thor and some bad guys getting hammers and nazi robots. It was not very good. At the end of it Thor died. An ending that everyone saw coming a million miles away. However its finally happened and no one cares about death anymore. They killed off both Thor and Bucky Barnes in this series and no one cares. Because we have finally seen behind the curtain and everyone now realizes how pointless the revolving door of death is. DC has reinvigorated interest in their comics thanks to the new 52. Maybe Marvel should try something as well.
