Your Super Weekend at the Movies
: A year or two back, I remember blanching when I read something, somewhere, that unblinkingly referred to J.J. Abrams as a member of the "hack pack"—that rotating series of Hollywood directors who seem to get offered every subpar franchise job out there, and many par jobs that they help turn into subpar ones, and whose primary point of reference seems to be other movies, specifically the blockbusters of the 70s and 80s that most of their movies fail to match. Seeing Abrams mentioned alongside the likes of Brett Ratner, Michael Bay, McG, and Stephen Sommers felt wrong to me. But thinking about it further, I guess it makes sense. Abrams may not be as frat-boy offensive or blindly incompetent as any of those filmmakers at their worst, but his career, thus far, has been more of a nerd-appreciator-engineer than full-fledged creator. He's worked on a variety of TV shows, many of them good, and good in different ways, from the reflective-for-the-WB soap Felicity : Man, Michael Winterbottom used to make movies all the time. He was like the poor, English man's Steven Soderbergh! Back in the aughts, he was doing grim sci-fi and he was doing real-life political dramas and he was doing combination porn-concert movies!Super Soap Weekend - News

As another red team dismantled a blue team at Suncorp on Saturday night, the Aussie commentators expressed their glee at a crowd of just over 40000 turning up for the Super whatever-it-is-these-days semifinal. Wow. Suncorp seats 52500 fans.
He's worked on a variety of TV shows, many of them good, and good in different ways, from the reflective-for-the-WB soap Felicity to the puzzle box Lost. But often Abrams himself doesn't figure heavily into these shows after conceiving them;
So what does it mean for the future of blockbuster movies that dare to do something different that Super 8 grossed a rather ambiguous $38 million on its first weekend? By most accounts, Super 8 did better than expected, but that's only after it wasn't
By Christian Menno It's not a coincidence that the annual Bucks County Soap Box Derby is usually scheduled near Father's Day weekend. The event — and the months of preparation leading up to it — serves as an opportunity for area fathers (and mothers,

I really don’t get why they don’t sell. It’s a business… they can make money off the sale, and someone else might make the show work. ABC can figure out a way that this will not impact them (they could even put some sort of clause in the contract so they’d get a percent of profits, or another clause if it suited their business interests). I wonder about Frons- it always seemed to me he was trying to save soaps, just going about it the wrong way (esp in his ‘vision’ for the soaps- his marketing efforts like super soap weekend, product placement, etc were fine). So the higher ups sacrifice him and keep on going?
