A Novel Adventures Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:53:40 EST

We're launching a new giveaway for a TV-based web series on books.
If something is not HBO does that ipso facto mean that it's TV? What if it's not on TV, but rather CBS.com? Okay, but what if it stars people who are on TV? Great, but what if it's focused (sort of) on books? Fine, I'll be more specific. You see, CBS has launched this web series called Novel Adventures. It stars Daphne Zuniga...

Coming Out into the Open With a Cities of the Underworld Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:25:32 EDT

Don't dare to go underground without these goodies to accompany you.
I think we've probably all heard the stories -- mole people living under the streets of Manhattan, their skin practically translucent from the lack of light, their eyes nothing but beady red dots, their teeth sharpened into massive fangs which allow for biting unsuspecting subway trains (their main source of nutrition). Could the stories be...

Our Second Heroes Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Fri, 3 Oct 2008 13:20:14 EDT

Another month, another Heroes giveaway.
I don't know about you, but I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero. He's gotta be strong. He's gotta be fast. And, frankly, he's got to be fresh from the fight. Of course, I wouldn't mind it if he was a she. I'd absolutely take a superwoman who'd sweep me off my feet. I'm not picky.It's precisely...

The Starter Wife Super Duper Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Thu, 2 Oct 2008 22:23:36 EDT

Well, we're not giving away her, but we're giving away prizes that have to do with her.
Oh, those crazy folks in Hollywood. They have such new-fangled ideas about the world. They like their money, their lifestyles, sometimes going green, liberal guilt, and apparently they do this thing called "starter wives," too. I gather that it's kind of like a "starter home," you know, you buy one when you're young and...

So, You Want to be a Samurai Girl? Enter and Win!

Josh Lasser — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:54:06 EDT

Want to be a samurai? How about a girl? Enter to win a prize pack about both!
Let's be clear about one thing right up front, I am not a girl and I am not a samurai. Okay, that's two things – let's be clear about two things right up front, I am not a girl and I'm not a samurai and I have no intention of one day becoming a girl. Fine, let's be clear about three things right up front – I'm...

Head Back to Beverly Hills 90210 with a BC Giveaway!

Josh Lasser — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:38:12 EDT

To 90210 or Beverly Hills 90210, that is the question. Actually, it's a bad question, do both.
Everything that was old is new again. Things run in cycles. Cynics would say that those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I think those last folks are wrong. It's such a negative view of the world. I prefer that those who don't remember their history can watch brand-spanking new TV shows as though they weren't...

Heroes Lets You Choose Your Hero and BC Magazine Lets You Win a Comic Book

Josh Lasser — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:22:53 EDT

Want to win a comic book? You know you do.
I have some heroes. You probably have some heroes. We all need heroes. People need someone to look up to. I never found anyone who fulfilled my need… wait, bad song, I apologize, let's move on.Heroes. Heroes help us. Heroes save the day. Heroes are, I think, a crucially important element of our society. Think about it, if there...

Blogcritics Presents a Sons of Anarchy Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:48:11 EDT

To quote a famous man: "If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy."
Some people in this country are very much… very much… against anarchy. Don't ask me why, I can't tell you, I just know that it's the case. They're all law and order types, They're walking the straight and narrow, and pretending that our country wasn't, at least in part, born out of some sort of anarchy.I...

Blogcritics is Giving Away The Shield

Josh Lasser — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:42:37 EDT

As the show winds down, BC gears up for a giveaway.
Many moons ago, when the world was fresh and new, I interned for Fox Television Studios. The summer I was lucky enough to be there, they were filming the pilot for a show called The Barn. From the dailies it looked fantastic - gritty, new, and wonderful. Eventually though, the name of the show was changed to Rampart. My internship had ended by...

SOAPnet and Blogcritics Get All Sudsy on a Giveaway

Josh Lasser — Fri, 1 Aug 2008 13:05:20 EDT

No, really, check out what we have for you this time around.
You know what I'm not afraid to admit? Honestly, there are a lot of things that I should be afraid (or at the very least embarrassed) to admit, but in specific this time I'm referencing the fact that I used to watch General Hospital. Man, there was a time in my life (three of my four years in college) that I would sit and watch that show...
