This Just In: Horse, TV show die

luck hbo horse michael mann cancelled dustin hoffman

Awwww shit.

Luck’s been cancelled.

During filming of the second series, a horse suffered a head injury while being lead to the stable and had to be put down. Two horses had died during the filming of the first series, so HBO, David Milch and Michael Mann have announced that the show is ceasing production.

I haven’t seen any of Luck yet, and now I’m not sure if I’ll bother. It’s been said that it’s a hard show to become endeared to, but apparently it becomes interesting after four episodes. Which leads nicely to this question posed by The Guardian TV blog recently; How long do you give a show before you switch off?

I’m in the midst of doing up a list of shows I’ve gotten bored of over the past year. It’s substantial.

This Just In: Lucy Liu is Watson, Queen Latifah to play Moriarty

Who doesn't think "Crippled Doctor" when they see Lucy Liu?

Ok, so only half of that is true, but while they’re at it, CBS might aswell go all out on the ridiculous factor.

If you haven’t heard, Liu will play Jane Watson in the US “not a ripoff we swear” take on Sherlock Holmes (crappily-titled Elementary) that, in a fresh twist, is set in modern times.

Jonny Lee Miller will play Sherlock, which is probably the only interesting thing about this.

This Just In: Lucas one step closer to hell as Phantom Menace merchandise returns

It’s like the Groundhog Day alarm clock just woke me up in 1999 again. Give it a rest Lucas. Have you been hanging on to this crap for the last 13 years?

Yes, apparently someone thought to name that fish. And Qui Gon Jinn fought him with a spear. No, I don't remember that either.

This just in: Groundbreaking new skyfall image shows daniel craig holding gun

Looks like Sam Mendes is playing up the “james bond has a gun” angle. Maybe he’ll even fire some bullets from the gun at some stage in the movie? Let us now open the floor to months of speculation about where he could be that has all those neon lights and what the significance of him wearing black is. Has he been to a funeral? Was it all he could pack? What was the weight allowance on his flight? Oh, the excitement of a first still.

This just in: Honda ruins the 80s

I was fooled by the teaser.

So on the downside, there’s not going to be a Ferris Bueller sequel. But on the upside, there’s not going to be a Ferris Bueller sequel.
