The Conversation: the series
Slightly old news this, but classic Coppola movie, The Conversation, is being turned into a TV series. I’ll have to pause and regroup before deciding what to do with that information. It’s a great film, but how do you do that kind of thing weekly? Not without changing the whole premise, at which point, why is it called The Conversation and not just ‘Eavesdropping’ or ‘Bugging’?
Brotherhood back for a second season
I’ve written much about Brotherhood already, so I’ll just let you know it’s been renewed for a second season (woo hoo!) and leave it at that.

Airwolf season two coming to DVD
Woo hoo! Maybe not three cheers, but one cheer anyway. Airwolf season two is being lined up for a DVD release. Nowhere near as good as the first season, it still had a few classic episodes. One for the Christmas wish list anyway.
