In honor of today’s date, 9/02/10, here’s the original theme song to the show, but likely not the one you’ll recall. This was before they jazzed it all out with the 90210 bells and whistles. Also, who the fuck was Doug Emerson? Was he like the first season co-host of “American Idol”? Just photoshopped out of our memories?
The new Mission Impossible IV, now with Jeremy Renner, has now added its female lead, and she is full of female-ness. Her name is Paula Patton. You may know her from Precious or Deja Vu. She is lovely. (Deadline)
Australian actress Jessica McNamee has been cast as Rachel McAdams’ younger sister in the romantic comedy, The Vow, in which McAdams and her husband, Charming Potato, end up in a crash, and McAdams completely loses her memory, and Spuds has to win her heart back. So, basically gender-reversed Regarding Henry? (THR)
Do the kids still hand out the W00TS? If not, here’s a reason to bring them back: Bryan Cranston will be hosting SNL in October. W00T. (LAT)
Alfonso Cuaron’s much discussed Gravity (at least in the trades), which originally asked Angelina Jolie to take the lead opposite Robert Downey, Jr., has asked again and been rebuffed again. Apparently, the studio — after going through Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Marion Cotillard, Carey Mulligan, Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Abbie Cornish, Rebecca Hall, Olivia Wilde, and Blake Lively — decided that Jolie is the only one that could carry the $80 million film (the female is the more substantial role in the film). That she turned them down twice might put the film in jeopardy. I don’t think it’s that the other actresses can’t pull off the role; it’s more that they can’t bring in the audiences. Has it really come to that? Are Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock the only two women left who can seriously open a big budget picture? That’s a frightening prospect. (Deadline)
That dude who plays Iceman in the X-Men films — Shawn Ashmore — is interested in the lead for Shooter 2, the straight-to-DVD sequel to the Mark Wahlberg flick, so says the Hollywood Cog. The sequel is about a sharpshooter out for revenge against his brother’s killer.
Emerson's character ended up killing himself or something. (shut up!)
I'll give a W00T! for Cranston.

You probably don't remember Doug Emerson because he accidentally shot himself in season 2(?) when they wanted to develop Mr. Megan Fox's character further.

Even i remember Doug Emerson. Davids best friend, shot himself (accidentally on purpose, or something) back in the stables with his dads gun. And then we got an Aesop about gun regulations. But blame Dutch television and endless reruns for this useful knowledge.

Doug Emerson was David Silver's best friend Scott, who taught us all that playing with your dad's handguns is never a good idea. After he died, his sister pretended to get raped, or something?

- Love how everyone is ending their Doug Emerson explanations with equivocations or question marks, like you're not quite sure but maybe sort of this might have happened since I saw it once over my sister's shoulder while cleaning my Harley and banging models.
- Jeremy Renner and Bryan Cranston are awesome.
- The original "Shooter" was so bad I couldn't form complete sentences for 3 days from the residual stupidity. Do you realize Mark Wahlberg followed up his amazing performance in "The Departed" with starring roles in "Shooter," "The Happening," and "Max Payne?" Way to cash in on the Scorsese karma, numbnuts.

Oh sure, everybody remembers the work he did with Scorsese. C'mon (c'mon)!

Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchet, Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Rose Byrne, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Saldana, Gemma Arterton, etc, none of these women are good enough for Gravity? I find that both easy yet hard to believe.
So we are not getting Michelle Monaghan (also a good lead for Gravity) back for M:i 4? My interest just went down considerably. This chick looks like Thandie Newton (part 2) and the less said about Mission: impossible 2 the better. For everyone. My ex STILL gives me shit about making her watch that horrible, horrible movie.
I blame 90210 for all of my infidelities. You put Brenda on a plane to Europe, leave Kelly at home with Dylan, & let them resolve their sexual tension, not only around a beach campfire, but to the tune of "Damn! I wish I was your lover." Thanks for making infidelity so romantic, you fucks.

What's up with Brandon's left arm in the header pic? The one coming down by Brenda, it's about 5 feet long!
I believe Doug Emerson's character was named Scott?
Posted by: Kay at September 2, 2010 2:24 PM
There's that question mark again!!!! It's like a collective nervous tic we can't control.
Here, I'll prove it:
- I seem to remember Doug Emerson's character wearing a cowboy hat a lot? I don't know! Maybe not! LOL!
SEE?!?! I tried to tell you what that character wore and ended up equivocating AND using the question mark! This is so crazy!
Posted by: Kballs at September 2, 2010 2:32 PM
That was a freakishly long theme song/opening for 90210! Audiences now would not have the patience for that. Community and How I Met Your Mother - theme songs under 15 seconds. Now that's more like it.

I definitely remember the Doug Emerson character, because I vividly remember the promos said they were killing off "an original character" so when I happened, I was VASTLY disappointed. Although he was technically "original" he was barely in it. Maybe the first 3 episodes, before David got cool! And I think the accident/suicide wasn't until the 3rd or 4th season, maybe. (Deliberately avoiding question marks here. But unsure nonetheless.)
And now I return to my hidey-hole, with my banana hairclip and parachute pants. Ah, the 80's...
Posted by: cydeleida at September 2, 2010 2:57 PM
I remember that version of the opening. Doug Emerson was a character development device for David Silver. He did a whole lot of nothing otherwise.
It's very odd to see Tori Spelling 5 faces ago.

"It's very odd to see Tori Spelling 5 faces ago."
God bless her...but girl was homely. It was almost mean of her father to put her on that show.

Yes, Sam t (whilst laughing profanely loudly)...
that-- that is some special kind of "mean." But give the guy credit for having a sense of humor..

most of those possibilities for gravity seem so young. RDJ is 55. i know is this business as usual in hollywood, but its tiring.
can you see the opening scene in a movie, the happy couple are sitting at the kitchen table, he is filling his last tax return before retirement and she is filling the forms for her college loans. so fucked up.
Posted by: idleprimate at September 2, 2010 7:06 PM
Idleprimate, RDJ is actually only 45. You made me feel really dirty there for a second. Not that I would ever stop loving RDJ.
That 90210 theme song has a very Full House vibe to it with the jazzy music and character montage.
Posted by: Even Stevens at September 2, 2010 8:33 PM
I would have loved to see Marion Cotillard in Gravity, I really dig her.
Posted by: Even Stevens at September 2, 2010 8:34 PM
Don't get me wrong, I love Breaking Bad. But sometimes, I really miss the shit out of Hal.
I agree on the Hal. My station is losing it's re-runs of Malclom in the Middle, slowly eroding the shows I actually care to watch from our syndication collection.
Posted by: e at September 3, 2010 2:13 AM
my bad on the rdj age, i guess he just looks older. must be the drugs. jimminy that makes him only seven years older than me. i'm not that fuckin old.
i have to shoot myself in the face here and say that i had a crush on toi spelling during 90210. not that i should have been watching. me and my very tough just-out-of-rehab friends never watched tv except for that one show, and we couldnt tell you why. its not like we could relate to their magic LA lives but six days a week 23 hrs a day we had our shit hard lives and for one hour we were with brandon sorting out problems in style in just 42 minutes.
