Am I the only person on earth who thinks a movie on the Natalie Holloway case is unnecessary? For give me for being an asshole, but the name Natalie Holloway really translates to Dumb White Blonde Bitch who probably got what she deserved in the end. As for her mother, well she’s Dumb White Blonde Bitch, Sr. In what sane world do you turn a blind eye to your high school graduate going off to some song featured in a Beach Boy’s song? (I wonder if that’s going to be the opening credits song.)
I don’t feel any pity, sympathy for the family. If the girl was dumb enough to go off with a group of strangers in a strange country, then she pretty much got hers. I mean, I know people who go to other countries and they don’t get kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery. Why? Because they’re not Dumb Whit Blonde Bitches, that’s why.
A douche bag commented on my Max Payne post promoting a douche bag blog that celebrates the end of The L Word. The problem I have with douche baggery is if you don’t like something, why are you dedicated in keeping a blog about that something? This clearly implies that while you don’t like the show, you like it enough to have the energy to watch it, or at most troll the internet to read about it.
What amuses me is when the blogger writes a post about the spin-off starring Alice. Leave it to a douche bag to go straight to Joey as an example of spin-offs. Joey, as we all know, didn’t do well after Friends ended, but it should not be the end all of spin-offs as there are several spin-offs in television history. The Jeffersons, Fraiser, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy and so on and so forth are all examples of spin-offs that were successful on television. But no, mention spin-off and the first thing the small-minded shitbag of is Joey. Motherfucker, if you’re going to make an argument, think of something better.
I remember there was a time where everybody wanted to kill me, but that was probably accredited to my ailing paranoia. As we know what the season finale will be like – one of our favorite girls will go down for the murder of everyone’s favorite, Jenny Schecter. While I have to play like everyone else, my money’s on Alice because of the spin-off news where the beloved motor mouth finds herself in prison. If that’s the case, perhaps Showtime should’ve kept the news on the downlow rather than blurt it out all over the place as if it were a prize winning cattle (one thing you should know about me, I’m weak at metaphors).
It’s all winding down to the point when Jenny will have nothing but enemies before she is found face down in the pool. I don’t think we’re aren’t going to see a single episode (until it happens, that is) without someone saying how much they hate her and that she’s dead. With two episodes out of the way of an eight-episode season – WHY SHOWTIME? WHY?! – the gears are pulling us tightly until every person addicted to the charismatic show will be left bald trying to figure out the newest in the who-shot-J.R. mystery.
Of course there’s always more going on and there is more going on than just the who killed Jenny storyline. The fact that Elizabeth Berkley – better known for her role as Jessie on TV’s Save by the Bell, but more notriously known for Showgirls (which I own, for some fucked up reason – okay, it’s for the sheer pleasure of owning such a godawful movie, which should be read purely as humor-related basis) – is now making an appearance as the girl who got away from Bette lends into the factor of possiblity of fedilty in a cheater’s life.
It’s taken me about a week since the premiere to write about The L Word. Sad, I know? But yeah, I’m still gathering all the angst about it. The same day I wrote the who do you think will die post, I was finally tempted to watch the spoiler. Even before its release and my post, I had already guessed that it would be Jenny, so it wasn’t much of a surprise. I’ve accepted the fact already. As for the whole Shane thing, I asked once who people thought Jenny was talking to at the end of the Season Five – Shane or the girl whose name I have already forgotten? I was right on my assumption there, as well. I don’t know how the season will end – we only have seven episodes left – but I do know that I’m not going to miss a second of it.
By the by, doesn’t that scene at the end seem oddly familiar? Not to mention there seems to be a cheater faction and a cheated-on faction? Bravo, ladies.
Moving on. I’ve never been much a fan of Max Payne video games – The Binx once tried to get me to play the sequel but with no avail – but I finally sat my ass down and watched the movie. I must say, it was not as horrible as most video game turned movies are. There might be high hopes for the franchise if they continue it, but let’s be reasonable, shall we? If it does bloom into something big, cut it off at part three. As most people know, something bigger than a trilogy tends to get a little asinine.
I have a lot of time on my hands tonight, so I’m going to finally submit to everyone’s demands and watch the craptacular piece of Rob Zombie shit known as the Halloweenremake. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m sure I’m going to ban his music from my ears for another month (I did the same with House of a 1000 Corpses, and sorta banned him for week for The Devil’s Rejects, which was better, but still a pile of steaming shit). I’ll write about that later – though I know most of you already have watched it and it’s old news – really old news.
I just looked back at my old blog, damn, the writing there seemed to be more energetic than this one. What the fuck happened?
There, I said it. I’ve been thinking about it for quite sometime and I think having somone who is just like me but completely opposite of me at the same time would do me good. Anyone catch that episode last night? I’m in love with Season Two of Californication and anyone who says it sucks should be shot out of a cannon into a catcus field filled with landmines and pitchforks. There I said that.
In other TV news, Nip/Tuck is on its way in a month. I can’t wait for it:
It appears that Mr. Kanye West has made a home at my blog with his “Flashing Lights” song. This is the fourth time it has appear, the first three times being in the last blog. I just like the song, okay?
But while Nip/Tuck is still a month away, I’m also dying to see what happens on The L Word. Nerves nerves nerves. Who do you think is going to die? And who do you think will be taking the blame?
I’m not a big fan of vampires because I think they’re an overrated undead creature that little goth boys and girls pretend to be, but True Blood captured my attention from the get go. I’ll never read the book because it’s genre fiction and most of the time that sort of writing bugs the shit out of me because it follows certain conventions that outline what’s going to happen in the end. I like to be surprised. Anyway, the season finale left me hooked. I want more, but now I have to wait. Damnit, this is why I hate TV sometimes.
Californication was interesting as well. Watching Hank and Lew swap women – not intentionally of course – is actually creating enough for me to love this second season even more. I finally see why Lew is such an important character, though I already knew that it was like having Hank watch himself in the mirror. Oh the what could have beens, right?
In other news, The IT Crowd season three began on Friday. Sadly, I don’t live in a country that shows this sort of thing on TV so my only friend is now my computer. Damnit.
Yesterday I posted about waiting for Nip/Tuck to pick up again, but that won’t be until January 6th. In the meantime, I’ve been kept at bay with Hank Moody and Sookie Stackhouse. I finished watching the most recent episode of Californication earlier today and I must say that I’m a tad disappointed in the direction this seems to be going. However, I am not at all shocked by the latest person Lew Ashby slept with, though Hank surely seems disturbed by it. I think what really bothers me is that Hank seems to be reverting to his old ways and that’s not at all out of character for him, but aren’t we supposed to watch characters grow and change throughout the seasons?
As for True Blood, I knew it! Sam’s a dog in the most literal sense. But now that he’s the dog, I’m left wondering who the hell’s killing off all those people because for a moment there, I was dead certain it was him. However, as memory serves me, there was a woman in the first episode that Bill sees and then vanishes (or was it the second episode?). She, I believe, was his converter. I’ll have to go back and watch those episodes again. The show seems to be getting a little more interesting, but who knows what’ll happen. I just know we’re counting down already and then I’ll have to either wait for season two, or if that fails, use my imagination because there is no way in hell I’m reading those books and I have my reasons. One of which is that while the show might be based off the books, the episodes don’t follow the same time line. It’s like that with everything.
I hate waiting for the shows I love to begin. At least Nip/Tuck begins in January. I’m watching Californication and True Blood, but the latter doesn’t really appeal to me, although making the vampires in a variety of different subcultures rather than making them all goths does please me. Californication started off with a rocky beginning. Last season it was about Hank trying to make amends with his ex and regain his family. He was successful – though a lot of you didn’t like that ending – in the finale. However, I thought the show was going to end there because of the writers’ strike. When I learned of season two, I started to wonder what the situation would be. As those of you have seen, Hank Moody is back in the same position, only minus Bill and I’m glad that character was removed. Too bad some of them weren’t taken out as well, but then what would become of Fucking & Punching?
But Nip/Tuck ending with such a cliff hanger last season and I’m still on edge with what’s going to happen to our favorite plastic surgeons. What looks like a funeral and AIDS scare, the sixth season looks some what promising. I suppose I’ll have to wait and see, right?
Were you surprised that Clay Aiken’s gay? A few years when he exploded into the scene like a razzle dazzle star, I automatically said, “The guy’s gay.” Jyg later made a crack about his I-haven’t-found-the-right-girl-yet reason for his being single by saying, “Yeah, cos he’s looking for one with a penis.” And not that there’s anything wrong with it, but if you’re gay, you’re gay. No ifs or buts (no pun intended) about it. So why do you hide it?
Well, I wasn’t surprised at all when I saw on the internet he came out of the closet. Even Drunken Stepfather had a comment about it by stating on his blog: “Clay Aiken: I’m gay. Us: No Shit!” So how did some take the news?
“This is really shocking news as I had no idea he was gay,” read a comment posted by “Sheridansq.” “And now I have to deal with this. I am not sure what to say to people who know I was a fan. … I didn’t go to work today and am not answering the telephone.” (source)
How did you not know Sheridansq?! The guy’s best friend was a very feminine dog! And again, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with his being a homosexual because the more the merrier! I think being gay is just as big of a deal like say, I can walk. I don’t care, you don’t care. My ability to walk doesn’t hinder your life and Clay being gay doesn’t affect any of us because he’s not us. He’s himself.
But for you reading this (if you’re a claymate), I want to know your reaction. I swear, the humiliation will not be brutal.
Adult Swim started airing the second season of The Venture Bros. today – well, reairing, I should say considering season three ended last month. I don’t know what you thought about season three or season two for that matter, but after a pause between one and two, I was contemplating whether or not the second season was any good. And it was.
However, something that irked me after last night reairing of the season finale of season one was what Dr. Venture said after Dean and Hank (a.k.a. The Venture Brothers) were killed accidentally, but very much purposely as well. Brock sighs, while Dr. O is weeping in the background. But Venture says something in the lines of alright get their clothes – however, considering what happens in season two, I’m wondering if I got that wrong and he said get their clones.
After a two year pause between one and two, I never really picked up on this until last night. Anyway, that was just a thought I had last night when I couldn’t sleep. It’s passed now.
Now I’m wondering what season four has in store for us. Oh well, next Fall.
rating: 5 of 5 stars There probably isn't anything I can say about this book that hasn't been said already. With that said, read it if you haven't already.
