Sex and gimmicks doesn't sell products, quality does...

See this great ad for the upcoming Nikita series. It does everything right, to not make this a successful series.  Way too much sex appeal on the ad just is doing its best to cover up the flaws of the show.  Yes she is sexy and the image is exotic and erotic, but it does not sell what the show is.  In all my years of watching 24, I never saw Jack Bauer in a leather tight Speedo.  Gimmicks are not need to sell quality.  Just look at the HBO series The Wire to see that. This this the same lesson you should learn and follow when making your products.  Get back to work.  Talk to you later.

Here is the new face of Michael fo the CW's Nikita...

Shane West will play Michael in The CW's Nikita, a new version of La Femme Nikita, opposite Maggie Q as the title character. WTF!?!?!?!?!  OK Now I am a litte scared.  This is a bad turn of events.  Talk to you later...

The New La Femme Nikita for the CW

This was from SciFi Wire so it has some crediability to it.  From SciFi Wire:

"Hot, kick-ass actress Maggie Q—best known for action roles in Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard—has been cast in the title role of The CW's Nikita pilot, a reboot of the spy-fi La Femme Nikita franchise."

Hot and can do Kung Fu.  What more do we have to say. Now I have to find that piolt on BitTorrent. Talk to you later...

How watching 24 made me money...

I am currently watching season 6 of 24. I happened to miss half of it due to watching Heroes. That is the one thing that I really hate about TV without Tivo, you have to choose to pick what you are going to have to watch. 24 has been very good so far (I am about half way thru). The creators; Joel Surnow & Robert Cochran; have a great understanding of doing GREAT technothriller action. After creating and working on La Femme Nikita for 5 years they know what a great spy thriller should look and feel like. Plus this has really helped me with some ideas and projects I have been doing of late for Haven: Full Metal Zero and Sanctuary: City of Secrets. It has been nice to work on this change, since from the last 6 or more months I have been working on NeoExodus: A House Divided. Modern action adventure is always my favorite genre to do. So when I get a chance to go back and do it I always jump at it. Watching all this 24 has not got me excite for Season 7. I can't wait to see it. Talk to you later...
