EWEEKLY REAPER RECAP LEADS TO DISTURBING REVELATION!

In the March 28, 2008 issue Of Entertainment Weekly, we stumbled upon this:

Which led us to notice this: 

And if you’re not seeing it, maybe this will help:

Anyone else smell a ‘Burbs remake?

BRET SHILLS FIRST PRODUCT!

Go on over to www.ConcealedCabinet.com/Testimonials to see Bret pimping The Concealed Cabinet by i-innovators.  Thanks to this clever medicine cabinet hidden behind a picture frame door, Bret can now hide Jessica Simpson’s Proactive, Wilford Brimley’s Quaker Oats and Bret Harrison’s self respect.  Just kidding!  This product rules.  Plus, according to his testimonial, he didn’t receive a cent.

BRET MAKES BEENY BOPPERS COOL AGAIN!

Okay, that’s a lie.  But he was forced to wear a pair of them (AKA Deely Boppers — look ‘em up) in the November 2, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly in an article spotlighting Reaper as one of “5 New Shows to Watch.”  I hope being famous is worth it.

“WRITTEN BY” MAGAZINE TELLS REAPER CREATORS TO “GO TO HELL”!

The October 2007 issue of “Written by” magazine has a nice little 2 page spread on Reaper and the two creators, Michele and Tara, that answers tons of questions.  The only question left unanswered is who the heck did they piss off at the mag?  If you look close, you’ll see one of the article’s headlines reads, “Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, go to Hell.” 

Okay, I added the comma.

We’re back!

Well, it’s certainly been an interesting few months. In case you didn’t hear, the writers strike is over and many of your favorite shows are back in production – including us! We’ve been picked up for 6 more episodes and, as I write this from my trailer in Vancouver, we’re almost done with the second one and I have to be honest, these two episodes are hands down the best of the entire series so far. I suspect I’ll be amending that statement in the weeks to come as we motor towards our season finale, but for now I can honestly say that’s 100% true.

In other news, I’ve got a lot of exciting projects in the works, both acting and writing. I can’t go into detail on most of them yet, but one I can tell you about is a movie I shot a while back with Burt Reynolds called “Deal.” You can view the trailer here. It’s due to be released to limited theaters on April 25th. If you watch the trailer, email me at questionsforbret@krakoom.com to let me know what you think.

Talk to you soon…Bret

“‘REAPER’ MAKING TOILET HUMOR COOL AGAIN,” SAYS EW.COM BLOGGER

Surely they’re referring to the fact that The Work Bench sells toilets, right?  See for yourself.

‘REAPER’ DEBUT DRAWS RECORD NUMBER OF PENISES TO CW TUESDAY

Building on its lead-in by almost 10% and beating last year’s time slot-occupier by almost as much, Reaper has to be considered a success for the hit-starved CW. Of even more import is the “impressive” (their word, not ours) number of male viewers who put down their Xbox remotes just long enough to watch Bret kick some fire-wielding-demonic-soul-ass (our words, not theirs). Here’s the press release.

CW LOOKS MICROSOFT SQUARE IN THE EYE AND SAYS, “BRING IT!”

Reaper’s premiere tonight is set to go head to head with an entertainment monolith so big it makes “House” look like a pygmy hut.  We’re talking, of course, about Halo 3, or as we like to call it the most highly anticipated video game in the history of most highly anticipated video games.  Sales of Halo 2 in 2004 grossed $125 million on the first day alone.  Let’s hope fans of Halo have picture-in-picture on their TV sets.  Here’s one article.
