(S01E04) "People like us are easy targets." - Hector to NicoIf we look at what
Lipstick Jungle offers us, indeed, people in the movie, fashion, or magazine business are easy targets. Wendy's ex-nanny wrote a book, Victory's career was destroyed by one bad collection, and Nico had to face a fake lawsuit that had some truth to it (even Nico admits that what she did could be seen as sexual harassment).
This week's episode closed the books on the lawsuit Kirby filed against Nico but it didn't end their relationship. Why did he really do it? Even if Mike was the snake behind the ordeal, Kirby agreed to go forward yet all he wanted was Nico...

It's that time of the year. People are being cast in pilots left and right and some interesting stuff has
been announced. At ABC, Christopher Titus (
Titus) has landed one of the lead roles in an untitled project from Warner Bros. The show focuses on CEOs and also stars Dylan McDermott (
The Practice) and Michael Vartan (
Alias). McDermott and Vartan as CEOs is an easy sell. But Christopher Titus, Senior VP Harvard graduate? That's different, and something I look forward to checking out.
Carrie-Anne Moss (
The Matrix) is set to star in ABC's
Suspect. The show is a procedural that will solve crimes by tracking suspects through a lineup. She's joined by Eric Palladino (
ER) and Kathleen Munroe (
Beautiful People). The ABC track record for procedurals is less than impressive, but the addition of Guy Ritchie (
Snatch) as director is intriguing enough to give this one a look.

The Sci Fi network just announced its purchase of
the U.S. rights to a German production, titled
Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, based in part on the
Ring of the Nibelungs myth. Never heard of the myth?
Apparently it's been known to have inspired composer Richard Wagner's operas and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
trilogy, so what's one more?
The movie stars Benno Furmann, Kristanna Loken, Alicia Witt, Julian Sands and
Max Von Sydow. The German version first aired on German TV in 2004, where it was the year's top-rated TV movie.
Honestly though, if Sci Fi's
track record
is any indication, I have high hopes for this mini-series. Though, the question is, is this mini-series meant to stand
on its own, or is it a test precursor to a full-blown series? The movie was top-rated on German TV in 2004, if that's
any indication to its success here in the U.S.
