Tomorrow night at 9p on Syfy Jersey Shore Shark Attack makes its triumph debut and you are not going to want to miss this instant classic. From the title of the movie (and the trailer) you can guess what this movie is about. It’s about Sharks attacking Jersey Shore. But not just the shore, attacking people that are very much like the Guitos we have gotten know on a show that airs on MTV.
Well if you are going to be in a movie like that, then you have to prepare for the role and Jeremy Luke, who plays “The Complication” told us what they had to get ready for the film. Let’s just say it was a lot of G and T and the L was replaced with S for studying for the script.
Earlier this week I was on a conference call with Luke and he told about the G(ym), “I went through a regimen also preparing for the role. I mean Joey (Russo, plays Donnie) was my roommate at the time and we both, like I was out of shape when I got cast and these guys said like get to the gym. (Writers and Director) Jeff and Barry and (John) said get to the gym and like right away I just got on it. So having come during the day I was like run, work out, at night I would sit down with the script and that’s how I would do it.” In fact later on in the call, he revealed that even after they started filming he would work out before calling it a night.
But that was part of the transformation, you can’t be a Jersey Shore without the tan. So here is what he told us about the T, “I have to give props to the makeup girls and the hair because that was a very tough job. We did, the six main characters there’s three girls and three guys, had to go tanning two, three times a week and I’ve never been spray tanning before in my life. And it feels like when you’re in salt water and you put your clothes back on you’ve got that icky feeling? That’s the kind of feeling you have for about 12 hours and we did that about three times a week. So like it was rough.” Now even though he says that was rough, he then went on to say it was a lot of fun.
So being a member of the Jersey Shore is not as easy at looks, but Jersey Shore Shark Attack is as campy and fun as it looks!
Tonight starting at 7p Syfy tells the tale of Treasure Island and you will want to watch it being told. The classic story is told in a four hour telemovie that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. Robert Louis Stevenson’s words are acted out by Eddie Izzard, Donald Sutherland and Elijah Wood, and they give his story the respect it deserves.
We all grew up reading Treasure Island, so tonight feel like a kid all over again watching one of your childhood tales became an adult movie.
Tonight on Syfy Total Blackout debuts at 10p and as much as I would never want to do show is as much as I love it.
The concept of the game show is the contestants go into a blacked out room and have to guess what something is. For example on tonight’s season premiere they have to guess what a food is by tasting it in a stranger’s belly button. That’s right there are people lying in just their underwear with things like fish eggs in their belly button as a competitor sucks it out to identify what it is. Not only do they guess things with their mouths, but they also have to feel things there are in fish bowls. Some of those items are bugs and other things are as harmless as a teddy bear, but the reactions are always the same scared sh!tless.
After each challenge all of the contestants have to jump on to a spot and the loser will fall through the floor. I am not sure who the winner really is in the scenario, the person who goes home or the people that move on to the next round.
So how much do they win after having the living daylights scared out of them? A total of $5,000.00. Yes that’s right five thousand dollars. Which is why I like watching the show and not taking part in it. That and when they sent the screener for the show, it came in a box that you stick your hand in. Well I went looking for the DVD and felt something really weird inside. I screamed at the top of my lungs and couldn’t get my hand out of there fast enough. I can’t imagine what the people who were on the show went through when they reached down and felt a roach. I would totally scream higher than Chris Colfer hitting the high notes on Glee.
Last week was the final season premiere of Eureka and you were probably wondering what the heck is happening several times during it. Well rest assure tonight on Syfy at 9p a lot of it will be explained and it will start to make sense. On Wednesday at the NBCUniversal Summer Press Tour Day, I spoke with Executive Producer Jamie Paglia and he explained to me why they wrote the storyline the way they did. He said, “We knew that most of the audience was going to be mad with the season premiere. Wait a second, you went back to the past last season and now you are going to go to the future, time travel, come on. We are a little self-aware, we know what to expect in terms with their reactions but in order for this season to work as a whole; we wanted the audience to feel those emotions with our characters. We wanted them to experience what all of these characters are going through. So once this part of the season resolved you remember that. You understand what they went through on a visceral level.” This storyline will wrap up next week, but the effects of it will last throughout the season.
I know how the storyline ends and you will approve, but you have to get through the next two episodes to get that point. And not everyone might make it to next week, but you will have to tune in to find out.
Something you won’t be able to tune into is an episode that didn’t happen because Eureka was cancelled before it could happen. When I asked Paglia what he wishes he could’ve done on Eureka but didn’t; he told me that “We tried to do it before, but timing wise we could never make it work out. I always wanted to do a musical episode. I got to do my animated episode. I got to do my Jurassic Park episode. I got to do my period piece episode. I mean, I’ve gotten to do so many things. I am very grateful for that. So that’s the one I wanted to do. That would’ve happened in season six.” Even though it didn’t happen, he did let me in on something that will happen in the last episode. He said, “The one way I got to satisfy a little bit of my musical urge was that Bear McCreary, who is our composer, and I wrote a song for the finale.”
Since Colin Ferguson (Sheriff Jack Carter) and Neil Grayston (Fargo) were also in attendance at the NBCUniversal Summer Press Tour Day, I wanted to know what they thought about the possibility of doing a musical episode had the show been picked up. Ferguson said, “I would’ve loved it. It would’ve been great. Talking about pushing your boundaries, I’m not singer.” Neil chimed in by saying, “Nor am I.”
While they came out the series unscathed from us hearing them sing, there was an important character that did not come out of the show unscathed. Carl the Jeep was destroyed so many of times throughout the five seasons, I needed to know what was the exact number. Paglia said, “I’m not going to tell you because I am going to have a contest online to see who can figure it out. We will give them a signed script or something fun as a prize.” And if you don’t win the prize, we will all get one on the season five DVD. Because Paglia told me they will have a special feature Ode to Carl the Jeep where we get to see all the torture he went through.
So will this be last time we see Eureka? There have been rumors of a spinoff and here what he shared with me about that, “We have definitely talked about it, but there is nothing hard planned at this point.” So if it does happen (please Syfy make it happen), who will be part of it? He was mysterious with his answer, “I am not going to say yet because I don’t know if I can get them if it works out.”
And this won’t be the last time we see Jamie Paglia because he also told me has a lot of shows in development. Hopefully more than one of them will get picked up because we need more shows from the people who brought us Eureka.
