I am so happy to FINALLY report that NBC has renewed summer show Midnight, Texas!  There are a few changes with the #1 summer show. Don’t know how I feel about them yet.

Based on the press release below, Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder, who were consulting producers the first season, will replace Monica-Owusu Breen as showrunners and will produce alongside David Janollari.  Also, according to TVline, most the original cast will be returning as series regulars except for Sarah Ramos (Creek) and Yul Vazquez (Reverand Emilio Sheehan). No word yet on when the show will be returning, but my guess is it will be summer like last year.

Brief recap the first season ended with developers moving into the supernatural town to renovate a haunted hotel, and Manfred starting to feel the aftermath of having several demons in him to defeat the season enemy.  For more thoughts about the season, listen to our Midnight Texas special on TVTalk, available on SoundCloud, Itunes, and Stitcher.

Summer’s Supernatural Hit Returns as Author Charlaine Harris’ Compelling Tale Unfolds for Loyal Audiences

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Feb. 14, 2018 — “Midnight, Texas,” the #1 summer broadcast drama in the 18-49 demo, has been renewed for a second season on NBC.

Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder, who served as consulting producers on the first season and have an overall deal with Universal Television, will be showrunners for season two and will executive produce along with David Janollari. The series is produced by Universal Television and David Janollari Entertainment.

The supernatural thriller, which is based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (author of the novels that inspired “True Blood”), takes a journey into a remote Texas town where nothing is what it seems. In Midnight, Texas, being normal is strange and only outsiders fit in. It’s a mysterious safe haven for those who are different — a perfect place for anyone looking to hide from the outside world.

“I am stoked at the prospect of a second season of ‘Midnight, Texas,’” Harris said. “I can’t wait to revisit my favorite town to discover what its inhabitants have been up to the past few months. Now the viewers, who’ve been asking me questions daily, will have their reward.”

The series stars François Arnaud (“The Borgias”) as Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies. Midnight is also home to Bobo, proprietor of the town’s local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, “Orphan Black”); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, “Luke Cage”); Olivia, a mysterious assassin with a weapon for every occasion (Arielle Kebbel, “Ballers”); Joe, an angel who knows all of Midnight’s secrets, having been around for millennia (Jason Lewis, “Sex and the City”); Lemuel, a wise vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, “True Blood”); and others.

In praising “Midnight, Texas” last summer, USA Today said the series was “a genuinely fun summer diversion” while the Los Angeles Times added the show was “a charming new take on spooky old stories, with enough magic to keep even cynical viewers engaged.”

“Midnight, Texas” was last summer’s #1 drama on the broadcast networks in the key 18-49 demographic. “Midnight, Texas” ran undefeated in its 10 p.m. Monday timeslot versus its regular ABC and CBS competition in 18-49.

Tutorial: Stamped Valentine’s Day Candle

http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2018/01/tutorial-stamped-valentines-day-candle/

Stamped Candle Tutorial

This quick, easy project doesn’t just have to be for Valentine’s Day.  You could easily use different stamps to create custom decorative candles for your home, for parties, or for gifts.  I made several winter themed candles as gifts for my neighbors for Christmas, and they loved them!  So pull out your inks and stamps, and let’s decorate some candles!

Valentine Stamped Candle

Project estimate:

  • Candles, on hand or $1 and up
  • Stamps and ink, on hand
  • Tissue paper, on hand
  • Hair dryer or heat embossing tool, on hand

Total:  Free or $1 and up

It’s a good idea to do a few practice runs with old candles or dollar store candles.  I often find bags of new to barely used candles at thrift stores, and they are great for practicing this technique.  The candle I used in this project was purchased at Dollar Tree, and while it is a battery operated votive candle, it has a wax coating on the outside, so it works for this project.

To make your own stamped Valentine’s Day Candle:

Stamped Candle Tutorial

Step one:  Cut a piece of tissue paper to fit around your candle.

Step two:  Stamp the tissue paper.  First, I covered my paper with a text stamp that has the definition of love. Then I stamped the heart image over the text.

Step three:  Wrap the stamped tissue paper around the candle.

Step four:  Heat the tissue paper with a heat embossing tool or a hair dryer.  As the wax melts, the tissue paper will seem to disappear into the candle, leaving only the image.  Be careful to keep moving your heat tool so you don’t burn the tissue paper or create uneven dimples in your candle.

If you want to, you can further embellish your candle with ribbon, string, rhinestones, etc.  I’m decorating a few candles with blue and green damask stamps to match my living room.  Which stamps are you going to reach for?  Have fun creating!

READY PLAYER ONE’s New Trailer Invites Us Into a World of “Pure Imagination”

http://nerdist.com/ready-player-one-trailer-come-with-me/

Ready Player One will be jam packed with references to the ’80s (that’s an understatement), but the film’s latest trailer reaches back even further to another classic film from our childhood, to invite us into a very different kind of world of pure imagination. But the dangerous of this one are much more fatal than falling into a river of chocolate, because it’s where a massive war for control of the future is being fought both on Earth and in virtual reality.

This newest look at the movie, titled “Come With Me,” is set to a slow cover of “Pure Imagination” made famous by Gene Wilder in 1971’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (which means we now fully expect some Oompa Loompas to be one of the thousands of Easter Eggs included in the movie). It bounces back and forth between the real world of Tye Sheridan‘s Wade Watts, and the V.R. one of his avatar Parzival. This is our best look yet at Parzival’s allies against Ben Mendelsohn‘s Sorrento and his army of soldiers in the battle to win control of the most precious commodity on the planet.

Readers of Ernest Cline‘s novel will easily recognize some major departures from the book, especially when it comes to the real world interactions between Wade and the people who he bands together: Art3mis, Aech, Shoto, and Daito. It looks like he meets them much earlier in the contest for control of the OASIS. That will likely alter the dynamics of the group and influence the story’s major themes of identity and reality, but seeing Aech’s van turned into a major battleground could be a lot of fun.

And an important one, because the winner of this war gets slightly more than a chocolate factory.

Ready Player One, directed Steven Spielberg, hits play in theaters on March 29th.

What stood out to you in this new trailer? What new Easter eggs did you spot? Come with us into the comments below to share your thoughts.
