CRIMINAL MINDS: SHEMAR MOORE....NAKED OR NOT!


Criminal Minds: You don't need to see naked pictures of Shemar Moore, Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds, to know the man is drop dead gorgeous.

CRIMINAL MINDS: THOMAS GIBSON


Criminal Minds: Thomas Gibson has done a wonderful job for the past two seasons as Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds. I was sorry he wasn't anywhere in the Criminal Minds season two dvd extras and that there are no official Season 3 promo pics for him. He is certainly one of my favorite actors!

CRIMINAL MINDS: DEREK MORGAN AND SPENCER REID CONTEST SPONSORED BY DOMINO RECORDING CO.


Criminal Minds: Peter Berard of Domino Recording Company has sent us some wonderful The Cinematic Orchestra "Ma Fleur" CDS to use as Criminal Mind contest prizes in appreciation of Criminal Minds using their song "To Build A Home" in "Children of the Dark" last week. The song was also used recently in the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. I listened to one and was blown away with how wonderful their music is. Criminal Minds uses the best music in their episodes.

Here is the contest and there will be multiple winners: List 10 songs with the artist's name that you think would be on Derek Morgan or Spencer Reid's Ipods. You can only enter the contest once. The contest ends on Wednesday at 12:01 am. Two winners will be pulled by a random judge and the winners announced.

Here is what amazon.com has to say about this CD: TCO return with their first full-length since 2002's "Everyday". "Ma Fleur" was written as the soundtrack to a specially commissioned screenplay for an imagined film, which may or may not yet be made. Dealing with themes of loss and love, "Ma Fleur" is fertile ground for Jason Swinscoe's brand of raw-emotion music making. If the mood is melancholy, Swinscoe and company manage to make it an ultimately uplifting experience, perhaps in the end more about the love you find than the love you lose. Deluxe packaging: CD digipak with six photo postcard inserts and double LP 150 gram gatefold vinyl with full-color printed sleeves.

CRIMINAL MINDS: JACK HOTCHNER AGED & A MARRIAGE SNAPPED.

Now we have started Criminal Minds season three and Jack has aged and the Hotchner marriage is in serious trouble. It will be interesting to see what the writers come up with!

CRIMINAL MINDS: TURNS OUT THERE IS NO VOID.


Criminal Minds: For many Criminal Minds fans there was a fear that the loss of the character of Jason Gideon, played by Mandy Patinkin, would leave a hole in the show and diminish the quality we had become used to enjoying. That has proven not to be the case for me. Mandy Patinkin's departure from Criminal Minds over the summer turned out to be nothing more than a fandom being dragged through hell for no reason. The six remaining actors have not only picked up the slack his void left but they have reached new heights in excellence. I stand in grateful awe of the wonderful work they are doing. Criminal Minds has never been better. Kudos to Kirsten Vangsness, Paget Brewster, A.J. Cook, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler and Thomas Gibson.

The writers obviously were going to have a hard time rewriting so many episodes but I never doubted their ability to shine. They have always proven that when it comes down to the art of writing scripts that will entertain and captivate that they are the best in their business. We expect nothing less that magic from them and they never disappoint (well of course there was that one episode that the entire fandom disliked but I believe we all agreed to pretend it never happened. lol)and they always remind me of why I watch the show. It's all about the writing. Kudos galore to the entire writing staff of Criminal Minds. The show would be nothing if not for you.

CRIMINAL MINDS: BLAST FROM THE PAST & ARCHIVES


Criminal Minds: Sometimes it is just nice taking a look at the old Criminal Minds photos. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: A YOUTUBE TO WHAT MANDY WAS REFERRING TO:


Criminal Minds: Thank you to Lori, co-moderator of the Criminal Minds Conversation Yahoo group, for finding this YouTube "Franklin Shepard Inc - Raúl Esparza" which Mandy referred to as being as close to an explanation to why he left Criminal Minds.

CRIMINAL MINDS: MANDY COMES AS CLOSE TO A STATEMENT AS YOU CAN GET!


Criminal Minds: Obviously from this interview, link below, Mandy Patinkin, ex-star of Criminal Minds, is not allowed to make any official statement about why he left Criminal Minds. He is using a song to express his reasons. Interesting:

"Inquirer: What happened with your most recent TV show, Criminal Minds?

According to some news reports, you just never reported for work.

M.P.: I can only say what's in the press release: creative differences.

Inquirer: But I see you're singing "Franklin Shepherd Inc.," which skewers the West Coast show-biz commerce mentality.

M.P.: That's my way of commenting. I can't think of a better way to say what I have to say right now."

Here is the link for the rest of the article: http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/20071021_Broadway_buddies.html

CRIMINAL MINDS: ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST PHOTO.


Criminal Minds: I love looking at the old Criminal Minds pictures. I'm looking forward to this week's new Criminal Minds episode. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER IS OUR CHIPMUNK.


Criminal Minds: Matthew Gray Gubler, Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds, in "Alvin and the Chipmucks"....I can so see and hear it.
"On December 14th, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS hits theaters everywhere as a live action/CGI motion picture event with a contemporary comic sensibility. Songwriter Dave Seville transforms singing chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore into pop sensations - while the out-of-control trio lays waste to Dave's home, wreaks havoc with his career, and turns Dave's once-orderly life upside-down. The film stars Jason Lee, David Cross, Cameron Richardson, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney."

The rest of the article, song info and links can be found here:

CRIMINAL MINDS: THOMAS GIBSON & NICHOLAS BRENDON HAVE MET BEFORE. LOL.



Criminal Minds: Nicholas Brendon will guest star in the Criminal Minds episode entitled "Penelope" which is scheduled to air Wednesday, Nov. 21. This is not the first time that Nicolas and Thomas have worked together. The first time was in "Psycho Beach Party" and Stacy was kind enough to send me a cap of the two of them in a scene together. I look forward to watching Nicholas's performance and I am reasonably sure that both actors will keep their clothes on this time around!

CRIMINAL MINDS: HOLLYWOOD UNION AUTHORIZED TO STRIKE!


Criminal Minds: I hope the writers for Criminal Minds have stocked us up on scripts because their union just authorized a strike according to AP. Actually production will stop because the other unions will honor the strike. I hope everyone likes Criminal Minds repeats!

LOS ANGELES - Members of Hollywood's film and television writers union have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike anytime after their contract expires at the end of the month.

More than 5,000 members of the Writers Guild of America cast ballots, with 90 percent voting in favor of authorizing the strike, the union said Friday evening. Members voted Thursday.

"Writers do not want to strike, but they are resolute and prepared to take strong, united action to defend our interests," guild President Patric Verrone said in a news release. "What we must have is a contract that gives us the ability to keep up with the financial success of this ever-expanding global industry."

Since July, the guild has been in talks with film studios and production companies represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Both sides acknowledge they have not made progress.

Nick Counter, the alliance's president, said he was not surprised by the vote.

"Our focus is on negotiating a reasonable agreement with the WGA," he said in a news release.

A key issue dividing producers and writers, as well as actors, whose contract expires next June, is compensation for DVD sales and productions that get distributed on the Internet or in other new media formats.

The writers' current three-year contract expires Oct. 31, and their vote gives the union's leaders authorization to call a strike anytime after that day.

Studios and TV networks have accelerated filming of shows and movies and begun stockpiling scripts in case of a strike.

The last strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks. Losses to the industry were put at $500 million.
