Beverly Hills 90210 pilot episode

No advance screening for media people? Great marketing strategy for the newest residents of the zip! And what better way to kickoff the season but to air a back-to-back 2 hour premiere!

I must say, this drama is pretty interesting! Being a follower of the old school drama makes me want to see what's in store for the 2008 version.

• The kids may not be as fasyon as Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass but they have an impact. Think of Charlize Theron in a teen drama! And I mean it literally because Naomi (second to the left on the photo) really looks like Charlize! By the way, these kids are ONLY 15-16 years old!
  
• The pit isn't all about the burgers anymore!
• Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth appearances... +++ audience impact. No logical explanation needed. Viva vintage zip residents..hello?
• There's this one character (Ty)...he's 15-16 yrs old I think...he portrays a rich guy. Yeah I get it, what kind of teenager owns a private jet and takes his friend to grab a bite in SanFo? Kids these days!
• The show's soundtrack is great! Viva La Vida opening song..nice!

Click click for more. :p

Just to refresh your memories, here's a photo of the old school Beverly Hills 90210.

Look at those printed polos, that HUGE red blazers (am I even seeing shoulder pads? haha), and that mommy pants! What can I say, Brenda is always timeless! Go team Brenda! :D

Must-see: The Dark Knight

First Batman Movie I ever saw - and I couldn't ask for a better debut!

Amazing Movie.
Amazing Screenplay.
Amazing Shots, finally Gotham City found daylight!

Amazing Cast.
AMAZING CAST!

Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman (nevermind Maggie,kidding).

HEATH LEDGER! If you need more reasons to fear clowns, watch this flick! Haha.
He is Joker. Jack Nicholson WHO?!
I'm not patronizing him (RIP).
He's really good.
He stole the show.


And CHRISTIAN BALE..
That stare..It melts my heart..I love him!
I know he's been around for ages. I use to see him all the time, on the pages of Seventeen/YM back in the mid-90s. He's always the Next Big Thing or The Hottest Bachelor Around, but was never given a break as huge as playing Bruce Wayne. Who stood a chance versus 90's Leo Di Caprio, even the pre-Titanic days, anyway? He is a very good actor(American Psycho)! Very good, hot actor..And that stare..Christian..Look at me..Choose me..Haha.

If you have a chance, go see it in IMAX. Nice aerial shots!

Go. Go. GO!

(Note 20/07/2008: Since I'm officially a Balehead - and this close to starting a fansite, haha- I did a little research. Turned out, although he was the first choice to play American Psycho, he did lost it to Leo for a while! Luckily he won it back!)

Old School Pop: Brenda and Dylan

Minus the cheesy background song, this video made my day. Cuckoo.
And did you know that Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry hated each other off-screen?

Old School Pop - The Gwyneth Effect

This is sick. I'm sorry. But if you were a child of the 90's completely obsessed with US Vogue, chances are, you did wish you can trade lives (or just boyfriends) with Gwyneth. Not a popular sentiment. But I'm glad to know there are still a few non-haters left out there. Apparently my GP can still hawk like all the Millers and the Olsens of the world. See the link to one my fave fashion blogs.

Old School Pop - MTV's House of Style

First we heard of a Beverly Hills remake.

Next the perfect size 4 (not 6) Wakefield Twins of Sweet Valley are also making a comeback.

Then apparently Topshop and H&M are selling MC Hammer pants (harem pants as seen in Vogue).

And need I mention that Vanilla Ice just got arrested?

Looks like there's an influx of 90's pop flashback.. I'm just wondering, if Baggy crotch can stage a revival, why can't MTV's House of Style do it as well?

I'm sure every fashion-loving teenager remembers this show.
My favorite episode was when Amber and Shalom showed their closets. Every inch of my 13-yr old clothes-obssessed body was beyond thrilled! Admit it, it was Shalom's (or was it Amber's?) shoe wardrobe that inspired every magazine's , every fashion book's guide to ORGANIZING YOUR SHOE CLOSET! Taking pictures of your shoes and sticking it on their boxes? Sheer genius! Saw it first on HOS!

Calling MTV! Make a girl happy.Bring HOUSE OF STYLE back!

Old School Pop: Beverly Hills 90210

Can you feel it!!!!??? Doesn't the photo make you feel 90s nostlagic (happy)?! I don't know about you, but when I heard they are doing a 90210 remake, I was well, ecstatic (not exactly because of the new show, but more from the thought that Hollywould felt the same craving for some old school angst-filled,teenage drama.I've been looking for a dvd copy of this show for months!!). Any tv-addicted twentysomethings would know that before Dawson's Creek, The OC, One Tree Hill, this zip code ruled the scandalous high school tv world!!

BRENDA forever!
