Teen Wolf renewed for fourth season

MTV has renewed its werewolf drama Teen Wolf for a fourth season. In addition to a new season they will be launching an aftershow, Wolf Watch. The aftershow seems to be the newest television trend. MTV has them for just about every show they air and AMC has banked on aftershows for The Walking Dead (Talking Dead) and Breaking Bad (Talking Bad), both hosted by Chris Hardwicke. Wolf Watch will be hosted by series veteran Jill Wagner.

This announcement comes at New York Comic-Con after Teen Wolf just wrapped up their most watched season to date. It will join the network's teen comedy, Awkward, as it was just renewed for a fourth season as well.


I tried watching Teen Wolf and quit halfway through the pilot episode. I'm surprised that it's lasted this long, but at the same time I'm not.

MTV cancels Buckwild after cast death

I don't know why, but I find this interesting.

MTV has decided to pull the plug on their West Virginia reality show Buckwild. This move comes after cast member Shain Gandee was killed last week during an off-roading trip. Gandee and two others were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning after they got stuck in the mud.
The network already completed four episodes for the second season and had recently increased the cast member pay from $1000 to $4000 per episode. The cast also received some pretty hefty bonuses. MTV stated that Gandee carried the show and that continuing without him would be a shame. Instead there will be a Buckwild special in honor of Gandee's memory.


I find this interesting because when has MTV ever not taken the opportunity to document the drama on a reality show? People on the Real World have had parents die while on the show and filming wasn't suspended. The cast members had more cameras shoved in their faces. You have episodes of True Life where people are put in situations that are dangerous and nothing is suspended. The cameras keep rolling. What makes Buckwild any different?

Catching Fire teaser to premiere at MTV Movie Awards

I guess we should watch the MTV Movie Awards on the 14th so we can see a teaser for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.


I am unsure if this is a teaser of the teaser or the actual teaser, though. The ad is a bit misleading. http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/895458/2013-movie-awards-the-hunger-games-catching-fire-teaser.jhtml#id=1703220

Rebel Wilson to host MTV Movie Awards in 2013

MTV announced the host for their 2013 Movie Awards show set to air on April 14th. The host will be none other than Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect). To most people, I think, she is known as the stupid fat blonde chick from Bridesmaids.
Wilson will be the first female host since Sarah Silverman hosted in 2007. Since Silverman hosted we have had rather shitty hosts in Andy Samberg, Russell Brand (more than once), Jason Sudeikis, and Aziz Ansari. Out of those I think Ansari did the best job and was actually funny.

I personally love Rebel Wilson and was cracking up watching her in Pitch Perfect last night. I think she is incredibly hilarious, so this sealed the deal for me watching the Movie Awards once again. After the last show I was going to ditch it entirely.

Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 2 VMA Trailer premieres

The newest trailer for The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiered last night at the MTV Video Music Awards. The show itself was meh, despite Kevin Hart being hilarious, and so was this trailer. All I really had to say after watching it was at least they added a fight at the end. The ending of the book pissed me off because nothing happens. The Volturi basically show themselves to be a bunch of pussies.

New footage for Dark Knight Rises to air on MTV Movie Awards

All of us will have the opportunity to see new footage from The Dark Knight Rises in a little over a week. It was announced that the footage will air during the MTV Movie Awards on June 3rd, one week from this upcoming Sunday (May 27th).

I didn't realize the awards were so close already and I realized they air the same night as the season 5 premiere of True Blood on HBO. I want to watch both so I might have to make a decision and/or just record one of them. MTV replays the Movie Awards practically every day for two weeks after the show, but from my experience watching them something always happens on the first telecast that is edited out of the reruns. It's always funnier to watch it "live."
Seeing that there will be footage of The Dark Knight Rises I might just watch True Blood on the rerun that night or on demand the next day. I can wait a little longer for it.

And speaking of not realizing how quick time is seeming to move right now, I was surprised to think I will get to see Snow White and the Huntsman next week. Damn son.

Russell Brand to host MTV Movie Awards 2012

Well that killed it. I cannot stand Russell Brand. The show is always so unfunny when he is involved.

My picks, of course, are in red. The categories that don't have a pick mean I really don't care.
The one thing that made my bones happy was seeing that Twilight only got two nominations. I think this is a good sign of what is yet to come. Kristen Stewart got shafted for Best Female Performance, as she should. and both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner didn't get Best Male Performance. This will force the teenage girls to actually vote for someone who did a good job. Well, kind of. Channing Tatum was nominated ffs.
To my surprise, I didn't pick The Hunger Games for anything. I loved it but I feel like it is too new to even include in this. There are movies that are already a year old included here.

MTV revamping the Movie Awards format

I'll admit it, I usually watch the MTV Movie Awards every year. Although I must admit the last 3-4 years have been a bust due to the high popularity of Twilight and Harry Potter. Good movies always get ignored because of the Jersey Shore loving teenage girl crowd that MTV has. MTV president Stephen Friedman states,

"We want to make sure some of the unexpected, smaller, quirkier films have a chance." 

 In the attempt to do that, MTV is introducing "Academy voting" where directors and other people in the industry vote in categories. They are also introducing new categories and getting rid of some classic categories that have been around for a while.

New categories:
Best On-Screen Transformation
Best Music
Best Gut Wrenching Performance
Best Cast
Best On-Screen Dirt Bag

Retired Categories:
Best Villain
Best Scared as Shit Performance
Best Jaw Dropping Moment
Biggest Badass Star
Best Line From a Movie

MTV veteran Jesse Ignjatovic is also involved in this revamp of the show. His involvement is seemingly bringing the music back to the show. However, he stated...

"It’s not just about bringing more music to the show. It’s about integrating music and movies.”

Personally, I feel that the MTV awards shows in general have turned into a joke for the most part. The same movies and actors win every year and like I mentioned above, so many good movies get ignored and shafted when they don't deserve to be. Shows like this should try to introduce independent film to different audiences and give them something they might not have heard about or seen otherwise. That's what I would do. I guess it's pretty much a given for me to watch it this year just to see the changes in action. The 2012 MTV Movie Awards airs on June 3rd.

Teen Mom... and rich

First of all I want to take this opportunity to admit that a guilty pleasure of mine is watching Teen Mom on MTV. Now that that's out of the way I just read something online, which is already a bit old, that disturbed me... These girls are making $60,000 to $65,000 per season.

Let's look at jobs that make less than that in one year (on average, about $20,000 less):

Teacher (high school, middle school, elementary, special education, etc.)
Auto Mechanic
Dental Assistant
Graphic Designer
Social Worker
Respiratory Therapist
Nutritionist
X-Ray Technician
Medical Assistant
Diagnostic Technician
Phlebotomist

That's just naming a few and among those few are jobs that our government is pushing on us. Education and medical being the top two career fields. If girls who were dumb enough to get pregnant at 15-16 and go on MTV so they can have their lives filmed are making more money in less time by doing nothing but fighting on camera then our society really needs a turnaround. It's bad enough the idiots on Jersey Shore are making over $120,000 per season when all they do is get drunk and have sex on camera.
The thing that cracks me up the most after watching this show for three seasons now is how these girls constantly bitch about how poor they are and how they're on such a tight budget. I no longer have any fringe of sympathy for any of them. They are driving new cars, renting apartments and houses with rent over $1000 a month (and no jobs), getting breast implants, getting fresh manicures, wearing designer clothes, getting their hair done, taking vacations, going out to eat, etc.. It's ridiculous and MTV ought to be ashamed. They are constantly stating that the show doesn't glorify teen pregnancy. Oh really? Why should these girls graduate and not get pregnant if they can make almost $70,000 for 11-12 episodes by doing so? There have been rumors swirling around since the second season of 16 and Pregnant that these girls are getting pregnant on purpose just to be on TV. I personally think there is validity in those rumors and that it was the case for most of those girls that popped up after the initial season aired.
I just hope the money they are being paid is put into a mandatory trust or college fund for the children. If I was in charge of the MTV payroll I would put it in these girl's contracts that out of their $60,000 they will only receive $25,000 per season, $30,000 max, and the rest is placed into a locked fund for the child until they reach the age of 18. That way you don't have dumb fucks like Gary who blow through the money and then say he's only on the show to get paid. There is no accountability for those children and I'm glad that baby Carly was able to escape it. Bentley, Leah, and Sophia have a long road ahead of them if their parents don't wise up.
