Cult movie classic ‘Pretty Poison’ filmmaker Noel Black dead at 77 (photo: Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins in ‘Pretty Poison’) Noel Black, best remembered for the 1968 cult movie classic Pretty Poison, died of pneumonia at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on July 5, 2014. Black (born on June 30, 1937, in Chicago) was 77. Prior to Pretty Poison, Noel Black earned praise for the 18-minute short film Skaterdater (1965), the tale of a boy skateboarder who falls for a girl bike rider. Shot on the beaches of Los Angeles County, the dialogue-less Skaterdater went on to win the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film and tied with Orson Welles’ Falstaff - Chimes at Midnight for the Technical Grand Prize at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival. Besides, Skaterdater received an Academy Award nomination in the Best Short Subject, Live Action category. (The Oscar winner that year was Claude Berri’s Le Poulet.) ‘Pretty Poison’: Fun and games and...

About 50 years ago (at least, it seems like it now), I started watching All My Children. Why? I saw a very young Sarah Michelle Gellar on the show and I remembered watching her on this teen soap called Swans Crossing before she made the jump to All My Children.
It's hard to believe that All My Children is ending after such a long time on the air. I feel your pain, soap fans! I had to live through the ending of Passions, even if it was a terrible show and it was only on the air for nine years.
Today, Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a return guest appearance before the show goes off the air officially on Friday. Will it return as an online series? Signs point to yes, but we'll have to wait and see how many of the cast members will return.
Gellar elected not to return in the role of Kendall,...

As you may have heard (and if you're a regular TVOvermind reader, you couldn't help but hear Clarissa's shouting), Supernatural won the TV Guide cover online poll, narrowly besting my personal favorite, Chuck. My dear counterpart and I had an amusing back and forth during the voting period about the superiority of our respective favorites, and the awesomeness of the fanbases supporting those shows. It all made for good fun, but as the poll drew to a close, and our "hatred" for the opposing show grew, something dawned on me. See, I just put "hatred" in quotes because I don't actually hate Supernatural (I cannot speak for Clarissa's feelings towards Chuck, though at Comic-Con, I thought I saw her giving Zachary Levi the stink-eye - Clarissa: This is entirely inaccurate, I was actually admiring Captain Awesome's awesome physique and Levi was standing in the way.), mostly because I've never seen an episode.
