Christmas Dreams

Hello Readers,

So, I know I have taken a rather extended hiatus from reviewing and I want to apologize for that. I have been extremely busy at work work, and since this blog isn't nearly big enough for me to make any money from it, I can not quit my only paying job.

So, Christmas has come and gone, and damn, was it busy. I got lots of cash money which I plan on spending on TV dvds in order review for you lot. On my list to purchase is the complete series of Battlestar Galatica. (With that said, I want to confess something. When I first started this blog the first post was dedicated to the ending of BSG. But, I was a newly convert of the show. I started watching it on the last season's mid season finale. This is that episode that is that the cliff hanger, mid season, that forces viewers to come back for the rest of the season so that they can see how it all ends. Basically, this means that I have five or six seasons before the one that I watched to view and see how the whole thing started. ) I also want to buy Dirty Sexy Money Season Two (and sadly last season). I am currently downloading Skins Series 1 and 2, and plan to purchase Series 3 when I get some more itunes gift cards.

Kings and Defying Gravity will also be purchased this January. I will also keep my eyes open for Mad Men, Season Two.

Leave a comment and let me know what shows you want to buy with your Christmas money.

Misfits

I have said it before and I will continue to say it, The UK has the best television. I am not sure why they keep beating us to the punch. Maybe because we have more money invested in film and they invest more in television. I am not sure.

With this latest dramodey from across the pond, we follow a group of teens who must perform community service for crimes they have committed. The characters interact with each other and we begin to see who they are. What they did to get them there, and what they want from life.

Oh, did I forget to mention a mysterious storm that gives them super powers? All the kids get a super power (some know right away, some have net to reveal themselves, but I think it is only a matter of time.) Kelly can head people's thoughts. Curtis can turn back time while Simon can make himself invisible and Alisha can turn people on sexually when they touch her skin. This power is by far the scariest, because men keep trying to rape her, when they accidentally touch her.

The show is good. I have posted the first part of the pilot episode. check it out and if you want to see more, go to youtube and finish watching. Leave a comment for me.

Movie Edition: Prom Night

This was the worst piece of shit I have watched since that shitty remake of "Children of the Corn"

Brittney Snow plays Donna, a high school girl, who's teacher falls crazy in love with her. She comes one night after the movies to find her dad and brother murdered. She hides under the bed and is forced to watch her mother die at the hands of this killer teacher. Fast forward to 3 years later and she is going to her prom. Silver from 90210 plays her annoying friend, who I think dies first. None of the kids have died by this point (31 minutes in to the show.) The most aggravating factor is that we know who the killer is, we have known from the beginning. There is no mystery to who the killer is. Also, they don't even try to keep it hidden from us. The killer is kept in plan sight. Also, his attacks are unprovoked. I am not sure I want to watch anymore of this. I am hoping that there is a major flip, like, Donna is really fueling the fire by sharing letters and her plans with the killer. He was crazy in love with her and she played it up that she didn't love him, but secretly she met with him and kept him on a string.

That would be a good twist. Right now, this isn't a WTF in a good way. It is a WTF in a bad way.

Also, the best part. After a guy and Silver get into a fight and Silver goes upstairs, she totally gets killed. The guy is looking for her and Brit says to him. "You are going to lose her." And he replies, "yeah, right." Well, you did, loser. She is totally dead, and its all your fault.

This movie sucks. I am not watching it anymore....


So I watched it on mute while I watched another show. It pretty much ended like I thought it would. Except not as exciting as I had hoped. He tries one more time to take her, the office shoots the man. The End.

Criminal Minds

This is a damn good show. It follows a group of FBI profilers who travel around the states solving crimes. Its like CSI, but better. The reason I like this show, is because the profilers are suppose to be smart. They solve crimes by trial and error. Its not like other crime shows where the detectives and forensic teams solve the crimes in a very linear pattern. Its just annoying and unrealistic. Check it out at 7:00 pm on A&E. You won't be disappointed. You will be scared and excited. Thanks Jules, for the recommendation.

Saw III

Ok, so I never watched Saw, the first movie but I picked up the overall plot.

Saw II I watched on tv, so all the good stuff was edited, but again, I picked up the story.

I am currently watching Saw III and am finding Jigsaw the most annoying "Non Killer" killer. He doesn't even have the balls to actually kill his victims. He just puts them in positions so that they either die or wish they die. This is unlike other killers, i.e. Jason, Freddie, Michael, who just go balls to the wall. There is no gray area, you either die or you don't.

And let's talk about the subplot of the man who's son was killed by a drunk driver. What the fuck is that shit? Jigsaw, in one of his many little recordings, calls the man "clingy." Really Jigsaw? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Jigsaw thinks a man is clingy because he keeps his dead son's toys, yet Jigsaw, will kidnap a doctor and force her to do brain surgery so that you can cling to life. Now that sounds clingy.

And the character of Amanda the Protege. You can lock people up , attack them, and see them brutally murdered, but you can't stand to see a little brain surgery? What kind of a "Non killer" are you? And the only person you cut with your big knife is yourself? Really.

I hate this movie.

Doll House

I am a big fan of Joss Whedon. I have an unhealthy love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I am never bored watching Firefly or Angel. I own Dr. Horrible's Sing along Blog and the Buffy "Once More With Feeling" Soundtrack. If this confession makes me lose cool points, I didn't need them anyway.

In this last episode of Doll House, Echo is sent back to college so that she can romance with an English professor. At the end of class, he returns the class' essay on "The economics of love found in Chaucer's The Wife of Bath." It just so happens that I wrote a paper on the Economics of love from that story for my Chaucer class in college. It was very exciting.

But beyond that, the episode gets better. The story is full of twists and shit that just blows you mind. Whenever you think you know, you don't know.

Hung

Since I have been house-sitting I have had access to HBO on demand. I have heard good things about HBO's Hung. Its a show about a down on his luck basketball coach, Ray, who uses his God given "talent" to make some extra cash.
For the most part, I really enjoyed this show. But I like shows like this or Weeds where good people are willing to preform illegal jobs in order to support their families. In the case of Hung, the father is divorced and his kids live with him. His house catches on fire and since he hasn't paid his insurance, they drop him and he can't afford to pay for the repairs. His kids have to move out and he has to camp in his backyard.
The show does a great job creating sympathy for Ray. This allows him to make the decision to become a man whore a respectable one, because he really doesn't have any other options.
His pimp, Tanya, is an interesting relationship. In the pilot episode they end up having sex and as Ray is leaving she screams at him "you should market your big dick, because that's all you have going for you." It was Tanya's angry words which spark the whole idea for Ray. She take the role as pimp, which is interesting because of the reversal gender roles. The woman is prostituting the man.

All in all, good idea, good writing, good acting, good show.

Stargate- Universe, This year's Battlestar Galatica

A group of people, on a ship, traveling to Earth. Where have I see this????

Oh, right, last year, on the same network.

It might be hard for some of you to believe, but I love SyFy, formally known as SciFi. I am a geek in the most sexiest form of the word. At least I think that, not sure if my theory is supported by others observations, but I will take their absence as support.

I was a fan of the Stargate movie. I was a fan of the television version, SG-1. I was a mild fan of Stargate Atlantis. It had flaws, but was entertaining. And from what I see, this new installment in the franchise, Stargate-Universe is going to join its fellow divisions as a show I enjoy.

The Pilot premier was on Friday at 9pm. I missed the first bit but I can pick up the storyline. A group of people, are forced to abandon their base on a different planet, through a stargate. So, most of the show takes place, on a ship, with flashbacks to how they were forced onto it. Which is annoying, because we already knows who survives the battle, because we see them on the ship.

The graphics are really good. Special effects, get an A plus. But I wouldn't expect anything less from SyFy.

"You're not the police, you're not a detective, you're a (20 something actress playing a) high school student"

Best line of the whole show.

Today's lesson in Beverly Hills High, be honest.
A lot of the so called "drama" in this show would be null and void if the characters decided to be honest with each other. For example...
Annie, come clean about hitting the homeless man. The jury will convict you of vehicular manslaughter and you will probably be put on probation (being a first time offered) for two years. No big deal, in the big picture. Plus, don't become friends with that weird nephew kid. He is going to kidnap you, tie you up in his basement and will skin you and wear you like a coat.
Dixon, be honest with the girl you are screwing and tell her you are 17 and what she is doing is illegal.
Jenn, be honest with Naomi and tell her you are a gold digging whore who spends her money like its water.

Also, word to the wise, everyone should have a mini tape recorder on them, so that they can record unsuspecting confessions, like Jenn's to Liam. And my point was proven. Thank God Liam isn't ask stupid as he lets on.

Special Movie Edition: Children of the Corn (remake)

I hated it. I watched for two hours as these creepy kids used religious justification to kill two people. The only good part...oh wait, there was no good part. It got kind of kinky when the 8 year old preacher (who was in charge) told two of the teenagers to "be fruitful." You know what that means? That's right. They had sex, in the church, in front of all the other kids. And those kids were loving it. They just stood there, eating some corn, watching this girl and boy go at it.

I am pretty sure that act alone, was breaking several laws of the Bible. I count two off the top of my head.

So, anyway, I was watching it because I wanted the outside man who the kids are trying to kill to lay some smack down on these little bitches. I wanted to see some blood. Because, good people should live, and bad people should die. Thus it is written in the movies. The good guy survives, the bad guy dies. Thats how it is. When the bad guy survives, then the audience doesn't feel closure. We want them to die because of the horrible decisions they have made. When children go around killing people, they in turn deserve to roast. Granted, in this remake, the man does take a couple of the kids out, but its not enough. He needed to take out the whole group.

But I digress. The overall movie was bad. The acting was bad. The main characters are this married couple who can't decide if they like each other or hate each other. They are constantly fighting, which is good because you tell yourself, once the kids start attacking they will work together, destroy the little monsters and limp away into the sunset. They have to be limping because of the three times they were almost killed and had to jump from a burning building into a hay bail or something. But when the wife finally goes, she only manages to take one of the kids with her. Really? You have two shots in that shotgun, and were surround by kids with pitchforks. You couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit one, but she manages to miss. I think she deserved to die after that loosely shot.

As for the man, after he evades capture, kills a couple of the kids and survives the night, he stumbles across the kids little corn circle. Sees his dead wife all strung up on a cross thing and hallucinate that she is telling him to give up. So thats what he does. After all of that, he doesn't even get to live.

Its so frustrating for an audience not to have that closure.

"I had sex with you because you got me drunk on wine coolers, and I felt fat that day."

So this week's episode made me angry.

First of all, i don't know what kind of sex education they have in western Ohio, but someone needs to tell Phin that you can't get pregnant if there is no penetration. I don't care how warm hot tub water is, it can't make sperm swim faster.

Second,, what is up with the douche-y mohawk guy saying he's friend of Phin while he's banging Phin's girlfriend? And what, are we suppose to feel bad for him, at the end of the game when he looks over and sees Phin and the cheerleader kissing? We dont feel bad for you. You totally deserve it.

You see, I believe in karma. Good people have good things happen to them, bad people have bad things happen to them. I want my art to reflect life in this manner. Good people live, bad people die. Its just natural. (for more on this, see my special movie post, "Children of the Corn."

Third, Rachel, don't be a diva. Sing your heart out and be humble and we will love you until the show end. Become a diva, and your character will lose sympathy and no one will want to see you succeed. Also, I did enjoy the power struggle between the male teacher and Rachel. Very interesting.

Fourth, fake preggers wife, tell him the truth so he can leave you and go be with the OCD teacher.

It's Always Sunny In Phillidelphia

I was a fan in high school, lost some enthusiasm, and was reintroduced in college. Now, I own the first three season, waiting to buy the fourth and counting down the days to the beginning of the fifth (which turns out to not be long. It starts again tomorrow night on FX.)
So, i basically have a WTF moment with every episode. Some episodes, I have two or three. Its one of the best shows on television.

I think one of the main reasons I like the show so much is because the creators and writers, are the actors. They were actors to begin with and when they couldn't find work, or find decent parts, they teamed up to create the show. Originally title, Its always sunny in television" and set in Los Angeles. But they changed the location and so the title changed also.

And I think that with each passing season, like a good wine or a courage, this keeps getting better, year after year. Don't believe me? Tune in tomorrow and grab your barf bags because you are going to laugh so hard, you will vomit all over yourself.

Super Skinny Me

These two journalist begin crash dieting in order to reach size 00 in five weeks. It is crazy.


One chick goes on the lemonade diet, a detox center for a week (where she had four colonics in five days). This chick, with two weeks to go, goes on a binge and eats all the food in her house. She has been "playing around with laxatives." Who the hell plays with laxatives? Also, its useless to take laxatives to lose weight. It doesn't work. She goes to visit a disorder doctor and he says he has to quit the experiment. She gets angry. She ultimately begins to vomit after bingeing but she has learned from it and even though the experiment ends, she still needs to visit the consulting doctor to make sure she is staying healthy.


The other chick does more of a "eat right, exercise more" diet. She even goes to visit an anorexia girl who "aspires to be like Nicole Richie." The girl says that is "unfair" that she has to put on weight to be a "healthy weight" and Nicole gets to look like that. Did you take into the fact that Nicole Richie is like, 5'1", so her frame is smaller then the average woman. Not that I can really defend Richie's size. She probably is unhealthy, but its no excuse to justify your own disorder. Thats just passing the blame. She does eventually get into a 00 pair of jeans but she doesn't like them. She hates it.

This is a very good documentary. Both women have developed emotional problems during their dieting and they go through some great emotional breakdowns. Great to watch, but very sad with sympathy for what they are putting themselves through.

"Glee Kids Horrah"

This show is getting better and better. The pilot was great and after a long summer (thanks Fox for causing that) we finally get back into the show.

The Push It routine was perfect. But the aftermath of censorship was bullshit.

The picnic with the virgin cosmos and the premature cumming/not cumming was priceless. I have to admit thought, that the whole idea about thinking about something tragic that happened when you were younger is a throw back to Arrested Development. In AD, George Senior teaches his kids life lessons by scaring them using a man with one arm. Different shows, same situation.

Damn, was I shocked when the Cheerleader Quinn showed up and "said a little prayer". And with her assimilation into the club, we now add a new level of espionage.


The season preview makes the look great.

90210 out of 10

On a scale of how bad this show, it rates a 90210 out of 10.

Lets just begin at the beginning of season two.

Silver: I don't know what kind of an education you are getting at posh West Beverly Hills High, but Montana is not across the country. Its actually, kind of close to California. Not as close as Nevada, but closer than New York.

Annie: So, what you killed a guy. He was probably an escaped

Naomi: Having an affair with an older man was unseen. Mainly because it is illegal. (Actor aside the fact that these actors are all in their 20s) but really, I thought she would have standards. Once that was revealed and she got into the little cat spat with that older woman, I wasn't surprised when he was married to the older woman. And then all of a sudden, Naomi gets morals? According to next week's preview she is willing to release a naked photo of Annie that will "ruin" (i use quotes because let's be honest, it won't ruin your life, Annie, it will make you more popular, ride the wave) her life, but she isn't willing to be a "cheater slut". Come on, get off your high horse.

And what the hell? No one slaps anyone anymore. There were like six spots in this show that someone should have slapped someone. Its kind of annoying. Slap a bitch, damn it.

Kings

So, I have recently been watching NBC's Kings on Hulu and I am really enjoying it.
This show is set in a fictional world with very compelling characters. You want the hero, David, to go through the dangerous Royal Court with his integrity in tacked. You want King Silas to become more caring, the queen to be less prefect. The prince and princess have their own issues they need to work out. Not to mention, all the while enemies of the state are conspiring to over throw the king and take his thrown. Its all very exciting.

Push your way past the pilot episode, which I must admit is very well done. Once you get into the third and fourth eps, the plot thickens and the storylines move faster. I am currently on episode 5, so I can't make a solid judgment about the entire show,but so far, so good.

Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Special Movie Edition: District 9

This was a pretty good film. It was a little slow in the beginning but it picked up and I found myself worried and excited. I also found myself not really liking the main character, Wikus. He was spineless and selfish. Too things I dislike in a hero. He finally got his act together and began using his newly acquired alien abilities to his advantage. Why he did use the alien technology before this I don't know. Also, I find it hard to really like a character who is basically a bigoted social worker. He calls the aliens "prawns" which is a derogatory term for them and he treats them as if they are unintelligent. They arrived in a fucking space ship you ignorant asshole. Overall, I felt the only decent characters in the movie were the Aliens Christopher Johnson and his son. They were the only ones with honor and a sense of whats best for the greater good. When Christopher tells Wikus he will return to him in three years with a cure for his genetic mutation I said "fuck that, Christopher." Wikus abandoned you twice during the movie. At the end he finally did the honorable thing which was sacrifice his own well being for Christopher to get to the mother ship and go home. But at the same time, "too little, too late." I would have enjoyed having Christopher come back for Wikus if Wikus, from day one had been a decent human being.

I get that the film is based on true events that took place in Johannesburg where District 6 was declared an "all white zone" and the government moved a huge number of black citizens to a location outside of the city. So I understand that this is like a social commentary on that, but still. I think it says something when the only decent people who deserve to live are the aliens.

What about your thoughts?

Mad Men Season One

Are you fucking kidding me? Who the hell wrote this? In no way should Peggy have gotten pregnant and given birth. She didn't even know she was carrying? Where was the morning sickness? The missed periods?
We turned in for 13 episodes and you are going to drop this bomb on us. Hell no. I will not stand for this.

Dirty Sexy Money- Series Finale

Really ABC and the writers of Dirty Sexy Money? You are going to leave us with a cliffhanger, on the series finale of the fucking show? For those of you who don't watch this incredibly funny, well written show you are missing out. I couldn't possibly go into all the different storylines and motives as to why the characters do what they do. However, there is one big question, that is asked in the first episode and is the drive for the first season.
Who Killed Duke George?
His plane was found in the Hudson and Duke's body was missing. In the last thirty seconds, we find out the true fate of Duke: Was he murdered? Was he still pulling the strings? Why would he fake his own death, if that happened? I am confused. There are questions that need to be answered and we will never get them.

This is a bigger disappointment then the series finale of the Sopranos. That's right, I said it, bigger disappointment.

GI "What the Fuck was that," Joe?

So, I saw the new GI Joe movie on Saturday night. And boy, was I dooped, suckered, bamboosalled, conned, etc. into paying hard earned money for this shit. It was by far the worst movie of the summer.

I laughed more because of bad acting, bad writing, bad special effects and overall stupid factor of this movie.

There were too many plot holes for one thing. Scarlet is suppose to be a super genius yet she asks the most obvious questions, while The Baroness is suppose to be bad (because her brother who she thought was dead, used nanomites to control her mind to make her feel better about his death?), but she becomes good when her love for Duke overcomes the nanomites in her system. WTF?

This movie should have been billed as an animation and not an action film, because I think 90 percent was fake. I am talking, poor graphics and bad green screen fake.

Compared to other action films based on past time toys/comic franchises I will turn to X-Men. The trilogy, I am talking the ones with the whole cast, not the Hugh Jackman solo missions. These films had great action, good acting, and great plots. I was expecting something along those lines. I hope that someone got FIRED for letting this piece of shit open in theaters. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I will say that Sienna Miller's cleavage should have received its own line in the credits. The cleavage was on point. But other that, what was her role?

This guy has the right idea. After he makes the comments about Vanessa Hudgins, you don't have to watch anymore. He does this weird thing with pull ups and trying to get people to subscribe.

Rename this blog

This is the old cast from Series One and Two

I should just rename this blog to "my love affair with the BBC America." Because those damn Brits have done it again. This past Saturday, I watched a full day of Skins marathon. I think some of the episodes were skipped because the show didn't really flow, so that leads me to think that the major episodes were included in the marathon, and the less important ones were left on the cutting room floor.

This show was crazy. If this is how kids in Britain really act, i wouldn't raise my kids there. These kids, if they aren't having sex or doing drugs, they are having sex while on drugs. In one episode, the bulimic girl, OCDly rearranges a kitchen at a house party. "They didn't organize properly." She then is out on the trampoline and asks the guy she is with, if he wants to shag her he needs to do it quickly because she took some pills. This of course, if followed by her passing out. So what do you do when a bulimic girl passes out from popping pills? Steal the car in the garage at the house party you are at and drive to the hospital. Once you get to the hospital, the girl wakes up so what do you do now. You dump the stolen car in a river. Did i forget to mention that they left a 3 pounds of weed in the stolen car, at the bottom to the Thames? Probably. And that was one episode. Saturday was a day full of episodes like this.


This is the cast from Series Three. Just by looking at this picture, I can tell it is going to be crazy.
Follow the link to see the preview for Series 3 (that's English for Season 3). You won't be disappointed. It makes our teen dramas look like Barney cartoons.

Torchwood: Children of Earth Miniseries

So, after five long days we finally know how the miniseries ends. The show was great. I enjoyed the acting, the writing, the photography. There have been several other blogs writing about this I just want to say I enjoyed it. I like how ballsy the English can be and I respect the way they do television.

http://www.televisionaryblog.com/2009/07/flesh-and-blood-torchwood-children-of.html

Green Wing

That's some good tv. I like the whole, funny ER doctor thing, mixed with drugs, sex and alcohol. In the pilot episode, we get a man sleeping with his mother, discovering he has a half brother, a slew of crazy doctors who are all more insane then the crazy patients they are obligated to treat. This is giving me a great idea. I have to go develop it.
Check out the show.

Torchwood: Children of Earth

I have said it before, and I say it again, the BBC makes the best fucking shows. I am planning on watching the five part miniseries, Torchwood: Children of Earth. And if the next four installments are just as good as this first one, then this is going to be fucking amazing. I recommend it.

If you don't want to watch it over the next couple of days, it will be on sale next week on dvd. You can pick it up at Best Buy, I totally recommend you tune in. On the other hand, you may be missing some info, so just buy it or rent it next week. You won't be disappointed.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion

The first part of the reunion was boring. The second part promised to be more exciting and the new next thing I know, I have watched the whole hour special just to find out why Caroline calls Danielle garbage and says that she will never be a friend. But "out of love fore Dina, i will not bring up the incident" that has caused her such distress.
WTF? The viewers want to know what the hell is going on. What did Danielle want to happen to Dina that would cause Caroline to get so upset? Was it a hit? Did she want to hire someone to break her kneecaps or something? I guess we will never know.

Lost

Well, Lost has done it again. With the season finale, the writers have blown my mind. To warn you, I am about to go into a full "Lost my theory on the show" rant, so if you haven't seen the finale, or you just don't care, stop reading now.

What I think will happen is...
By Juliet falling into the well at the Swan location and setting off the hydrogen bomb she will unleash a huge pocket of time traveling energy which will move the island in location and time. Just like John and Ben both did when they turned the dial thing and the island moved and began jumping in time. The reason I think this will happen is because when the island is moved it taps into that same energy. The same energy that was held in a pocket at the bottom of that well that Juliet set a hydrogen bomb off next to. I think the reaction of the energy being released will cause the island to jump and basically flip out. Not knowing when it will rest.

As for Jacob and his enemy who "is looking for a loophole." This is the overall theme of mankind having decisions. Clearly, Jacob is the good entity (God) and the other guy is the bad entity (Devil). We have Jacob who gives the inhabitants of the island direction but lets them make their owns decisions about how they get there. He gives mankind the benefit of the doubt and believes that they are good. That is way, in the flashbacks, he visited major characters in a moment when they needed a little inspiration, like Sawyer at his parents funeral.

My theory is this, the island is a playground for good and evil. Jacob and the other guy, are allowed to bring "players to the island" and its a game of who can manipulate mankind into being the best it can be. Jacob wants them to excel and the other guy wants them to fail. Also, in the beginning when Jacob is fishing and the colonial boat is seen out in the distance and Jacob makes a reference that he is bringing them to the island. How long has this game been going on? When it does it end?

BBC has the best surpriese

Footballer's Wives
What is there to say? I have recently begun watching footballer's wives again. I know it is a soap opera so the surprises are big and the WTF moments are plentiful. But this show offers more than just crazy storylines. It offers awesome fights, great plot twists and creative thinking on the writers part. And all of that is exactly what makes it a great show. The acceleration never lets up. Each scene is key to the storyline, which I hate to admit this but American shows sometimes over look this important fact. We want shows that keep our attention. We want the constant conflict and arguing and scheming.

What do you think?

Are They Kidding Me

SAT question for you;
The OC is to Laguna Beach
As
Gossip Girl is to ????

The answer, NYC Prep.

So, First we had The OC and that spawned Laguna Beach. Laguna spawned the Hills, that spawned The City, (and I am just waiting for Ali "The Model" and her boyfriend...that male model who I can't remember his name to get their own spin off "Newlyweds" like show). It is an never ending evil cycle of annoyingly addictive shows that networks are just cranking out and we eating them up like hungry dogs lapping up puppychow.

Next we got Gossip Girl and that has spawned an evil beast. Bravo's NYC Prep is Gossip Girl's reality equivalent.

So by logic, the next big reality show will be based on a popular tv show. I think it will be about a girl who moved from a fly over state and becomes a popstar. Money.

Where did all the WTF moments go?

Come on Television. Stop holding out on us. WE want some jaw dropping, "holy shit" screaming, "What the Fuck" moments from you and you better not let down. Clearly, whatever tv I am watching doesn't have any of these moments. Does anyone recommend where I can go to see some great television?

Round Two

So, on last week episode of the Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny and Kelly go for round 2. They have a little side conversation to clear the air, which has good intentions. Until Kelly's coke lined mind doesn't let Bethenny get in one word. Plus, the poor Kelly is so high she has blacked out that last conversation where she insults Bethenny and then waits for her date to show up at the same bar. Basically, this fight was not as awesome as the first, but it was entertaining to watch. I was just looking for pictures on the bravo website to throw up here for you readers when I came across Kelly's blog. She gives her side of the story. I will sum it up for you here but if you want to see it, head over to bravotv.com to check it out. Basically, Kelly has rarely had someone hate her so therefore, she doesn't like confrontations. She hates the "soap opera/ mafia sit downs" that Bethenny seems to love. I can't believe for a second that Kelly doesn't like confrontations. She likes attention, and some of the best attention comes from public confrontations and altercations. (Like the time Kelly was busted for punching her boyfriend.) So, I personally think her publicist wrote the blog because it is a total puff piece.

The (HOT) Housewives of New York

There are only two hot housewives on this show. The only thing better than their catfight at the bar, The Brass Monkey, would have been them in a jello wrestling match at the Brass Monkey. Clearly, if I was a producer, I would have provided a tube of jello, just as a secondary choice when they met up. A plan B if you will. But alas, the women skipped the jello and the pleasantries and just went at it.
Let me first introduce the players. Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Bensimon. The two hot housewives from The Real Housewives of New York. On a side note, neither of these women are actually housewives, Kelly is divorced and Bethenny has never been married.
So one night, Kelly asks Bethenny to meet her for a lil chat to let Bethenny know that they are not friends. I couldn't decide which one was more hotter. The caty, ex-model Kelly (who clearly is exhibiting the lasting effects of cocaine) who arrives to a meeting she called 30 minutes late and then does not have a clue what to say once she arrives. (And then telling Bethenny to calm down and stop freaking out while she is the one freaking out, makes her even more attractive to me. I do love a crazy bitch.) Or, the calm, collected Bethenny, who has a sharp tongue and could hold her own in a real fight. Plus, I just thin she is hot.


I give this whole situation a WTF award, strictly because that's what Bethenny was thinking after Kelly came in and acted completely ridiculous.

Best show ever...I think

Why do the British have the best television? Is it their liberal ways and the use of profanity that they can get away with broadcasting? Probably.

24

Tony, NO!!!!!!!!! Damn it. This shows just keeps getting better and better. So, the whole time today (this current season of 24) we think Tony Almada is a good guy undercover as a bad guy. But really, he is a bad guy who is fooling everyone into thinking he is an under cover bad guy but really a good guy. Did you follow all that? Holy shit. When he killed Agent Moss I was losing my mind.

This show is still on...

Why the fuck is Prison Break still on the air? Lots of great shows have been canceled before their time and this shit is still airing. WTF?



Also, quick side note: The "I'm a PC and I'm blah blah blah" campaign blows. The last commercial I saw had this kid wanting to get a laptop right? He goes and looks at the Macs and is like "this is kind of small. This is kind of expensive." Well, the last time I checked, my Mac lasted over five years before I got a new one. Not because I needed one, but because I wanted one. The old one still works. So, all I can say is fuck PC's. They blow.

MTV's The Duel II

Now, like most people my age, I was raised with the MTV Road Rules/Real World Challenge. I enjoy watching the challenges and the fighting and the hook ups, but mostly, I turn in to see Katie in all her smoking and drinking glory get into fights and called the other girls "Bitches." She is my favorite reality character.
But this WTF moment is dedicated to CT and Adam. When we they people learn that getting smashed on the first night and then running your mouth is a bad idea. CT again, starts throwing punches and is eliminated, not even before the game starts. Come on guys. Learn to control it.

And I am sure Joann is screaming at the TV "Just don't hurt Brad!!!!"

Special Edition: Film, WTF?

The Fast and the Furious 4. This movie sucked. Now, I don't hold the FATF franchise to high standards, not like the Ocean series or the Godfather, but come on. As far as high budget, badly written, poorly acted action flicks go, this should be low on everyones' list. I would classify this as a Redbox rental.

I heard one critic say that "the actors should be ashamed to have even spoke the horribly written lines of dialogue." And I am going to have to agree with him. I don't care if you are an out of work actor and some studio is throwing mad money at you to appear in an installment of a franchise. If the movie has a poor concept and is poorly written, just say no. Tell your agent to get back to work and find you something descent. And if they can't do that, go work for free on indies and student films. Now, I can only imagine that the actors of this movie would reply to me with a "What was that? I couldn't hear you over the cha-ching of my bank account filling." To which I would reply "Well, I hope it makes you deaf, because when it stops you will finally be able to hear the rest of Hollywood, and the world, laughing at you."

So, to this I say, WTF Fast and the Furious? Thanks for wasting my friday night and 12 dollars I will never get back. Assholes.

Olivia Socialite's Words of Wisdom

So, Olivia on The City is just too smart for her own good, right? With her big eyes that are good for observation she constantly gives unsolicited advice to Whitney. This is how I am sure a conversation goes between the two of them.
Whitney: Good Morning Olivia. How are you today?
Olivia: This is what I think you should do...date whoever you want...you only live once...stop being so high school about this...etc. Also, Whitney, this is New York. You can't just take off your sunglasses, and think that whatever you were wearing in the Hills would be hip here. Its not. Also, don't hang out with those "hipsters." They are poor, and like don't shower. That's totally gross. Also, I think the best thing you can do when looking into apartments is not take the first one. And, always take taxis, the subway is confusing...And one more thing, bonds are the best investment right now.
Whitney: Wow, Olivia. That was...
Olivia: Just what you needed to hear, right? I am so perceptive.


It just seems to me, every episode, Olivia is compelled to share her insight on whatever problem Whitney must be having, even though Whitney doesn't really ask for her opinion. This could be due to two reasons. One, the editors remove Whitney asking questions that prompt Olivia's "wise" responses. Or, two, (the more likely of the two) Olivia just likes to tell other people what they should do, according to her. And its safe for me to make that acquisition because I do the same thing. However, I am not on television for it. Would like to be, but am not.

I personally think Whitney needs to throw down with Olivia. Take the fashionable gloves off and solve things like they do in the City. This ain't LA Whitney, its New York. Take Olivia into a alley and kick her ass. Then be like, "you don't know me." And then take her purse and make it look like a mugging. That's New York.

What the Frack, Battlestar Galactica?

So, I finally watched the series finale of Battlestar Galactica and had a total, what the fuck? moment. So, at the very end, we see that crew lands on a planet that looks very similar to earth. In fact, its fucking Earth. And then they get rid of all the spaceship stuff, and the technology. The crew wants to be part of the indigiouness people lifestyle, no hover jets, no weapons. Just the land. Ok, well that all cool.

And then they fast forward 150,000 years or something like that and its all, "oh look, the first human remains have been found in Tanzania." That just so happens to be where the crew landed. Ok, so am I suppose to believe that the whole time the Galatica crew was jumping around the universe looking for their home, we think they are in the future, and it turns out that they were the first humans on Earth, that all of our civilizations came from? The writers are trying to blow our minds. And it might be working. Now, don't get me one. I like this ending better than I liked The Sopranos, which I didn't even watch but heard about it. What were your thoughts, reader?
