Film Gecko has just posted a preview of Warner’s 2009 movies that includes the news that My Sister’s Keeper will be in theatres May of 2009. This means we’ll get to see at least one Medium character in something new after season five has ended. What a great way to start the summer, huh?
By the way, if you haven’t read the book yet (or even if you have) are you interested in an online discussion group? There are some great questions on Jodi Picoult’s website and the book is a fascinating read. (Sorry. I have to plug reading. It’s in the librarian code of ethics…) Or if you don’t want to do an official book discussion, maybe you just want to answer one big question. What would you do if you had one child dying and another child that could save the first child’s life? Would you draw the line at one or two medical procedures, not allow any procedures at all, or require the second child to be a constant parts supply for the first? Keep in mind, the second child in this case was specifically created by her parents to supply the first child with the necessary parts.
Want a taste of the new movie? Warner hasn’t released a trailer yet, but here are two fabulous shots:

Thanks to Betty for bringing the fact that two Medium guest stars have suffered tragic losses to my attention.
First, Kelly Preston, who played the self centered Meghan Doyle in season four, lost her son Jett Travolta after he had a fatal seizure. Jett had Kawasaki Disease, but, according to a report I just heard on ABC news, the disease was not the cause of his seizure disorder.
Kelly’s husband, John Travolta, has updated his site with a statement about their 16 year old son’s death. I think this says it all:
…Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered…
Then, Angelica Huston, who played hard boiled investigator Cynthia Keener in Season Four’s six episode arc, lost her husband.
My sincere condolences to both of these talented women and their families.
Boy, what is with this week? I have so much gloomy Medium related news to share with you all. According to TMZ, Patricia Arquette has just filed a petition for divorce. Being a smart woman, she has hired a scary shark, Laura Wasser, as her lawyer.
It’s a shame. They looked so cute and happy in their photos and they have such an adorable little daughter. I hope they can remember to put her first and work to get through this tough time quickly and civilly. So many celebrity divorces turn out to be all out war.
Did you know you could catch the entire first season of American Gothic, where Jake Weber played a good doctor who lives in a town run by an evil sheriff, for free? Hulu.com has full episodes for the first, and only, seaon on its site. If you’ve never seen American Gothic, it really is worth watching. Plus, it is a great way to give your Medium dvds a rest while you’re waiting for season five to start! However, there is one really bad thing about the show and that is the way the last episode ends. I was disappointed to be kind of left hanging, but I guess they were originally planning to pick things up next season. I looked around for some other full episodes and movies with Medium stars in them, but all I could find was clips. If you see something I missed, let me know.
According to ABC, David Arquette is actually on My Space telling everyone to support the old Senator Theatre in Baltimore. It is a wonderful old place, filled with history and I didn’t even realize that it was in danger of closing down. The Senator has been showing movies for 69 years without a single break and is the way movie theatres should be - a magical place that transports movie goers to another world.
I have to say that I’m impressed by the Arquette family’s willingness to do so much for charities and organizations they care about and would be impressed even if I didn’t love Medium so much. If everyone took as much time to support worthy causes as the Arquette family, the world would be a much nicer place.
Hooray! Medium coverage in TV Guide! The January 5th issue has a massive picture of Patricia Arquette on page 3 as part of a PETA ad and then a nice write up on page 28 to 29 on season five.
According to the article, season five is “about a return to normalcy.” Thankfully, our friend Devalos is back on the job and Joe is no longer unemployed. Like many other creative types, he is happily starting a small business.
There were a few new teasers, too. Allison is sure the world is over when she has visions that seem to suggest the end has come. Then, Joe is in for a surprise when he discovers that Allison is buying all the supplies she needs to build her own bomb! During the episode where Allison has the uncontrollable urge to buy bomb making supplies, Patricia Arquette is also making her directorial debut.
Sounds like we’re in for a lot of fun this season!
Kristen from E Online has a new season five spoiler for us. There are going to be several flashback type scenes during the season, including a scene where Joe hops back in time to pass some information on to himself when he’s in college.
Is it just me or does this season have awesome written all over it? There are so many great spoilers and every time I hear one, February 2nd seems further away!
You have to love gossip mags. They’ve always got to put the worst possible spin on everything. Courtney Cox Arquette, her mom, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer had Christmas Eve dinner together. How delightful, right? Wrong. The blurb on this picture said, “Courtney Arquette’s husband David was nowhere to be seen.” Hmm. Well, Coco wasn’t there. I know it isn’t as fun as a big scandal, but could it possibly be that little Coco needed an early bedtime and David was with her? Or maybe the Arquette family had a big bash, but Courtney didn’t want to stop her own tradition of hanging out with her mom and pal Jen, so they decided to divide and conquer.
Being famous and staying happily married has got to be the toughest thing on earth. It is hard enough to be happily married and unfamous!
Okay, I know it isn’t quite as good as a Medium Christmas special, but we can at least enjoy David Cubitt as Noah in Finding John Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with family, laughter and fun.
This week, we are going to visit the first episode of Medium one more time. I know we’ve been hanging out with this episode quite a bit lately, but it isn’t my fault the writers were so fantastic.
Allison is talking to a slightly jealous Joe on the phone. “Yes. I am leaving you for the angriest, ugliest man on the planet. Now go to bed. I love you.”
I thought this scene captured their relationship so perfectly.
