I don’t want to bore anyone with how stories about how much I loved the Transformers growing up…let’s just say I cried during the Transformers cartoon movie when all the Autobots died in the first 15 minutes.
I have been a fan of the show from the beginning, and in my opinion, HBO is the best television has to offer.But last nights episode was like being married to the richest person on the planet, and when they die, they leave their money to charity.
The greatest part about being part of the Sopranos family, as a viewer, is how gutsy the show has been. The show eliminated the archaic good and evil, black and white lines by showing that bad people lead normal lives, and good people do bad things. That’s gutsy. The problem though is that when the show needed to be more ballsy than ever. It pussed out.
Now, I see how the show tried build the anticipation through out the whole episode and it was masterfully done. Don’t stop believing by Journey playing on the jut box, all sorts of shady creatures waling around the diner, and Meadow having trouble parking her car. But… If I wanted the ending left up to my own imagination then I would be a television writer myself.
If anyone has ever written a story before, then the one thing you know is that the ending is the hardest thing to come up with. Almost anyone can come up with at least one good idea, but whats sets people who do it for a living apart from those who just have good ideas is completion. A beginning, a middle, and an end. I’m sorry, but this show ended with way too much life in it, and too much story to tell.
Do you think there is going to be a movie? What did you think of the ending?
I decided to give Knocked Up a whirl at the theatre because I was such a huge fan of 40 Year Old Virgin and I was desperate to see a movie that wasn’t a sequel. The only disappointing thing about this movie was that I didn’t have a date with me because this flick is guaranteed pussy.
Seth Rogan is such an awesome combination of physically sloppy yet convincingly witty, funny, and charming that you can actually grasp the concept of a girl who looks like this…
(Katherine Heigl)
…falling for him. Rogan’s chemistry with Paul Rudd again is outstanding and Leslie Mann does what she does best in this movie.
The dialogue in this movie is top notch, it’s funny, captivating, and an awesome date movie that both sexes will like.
“And being apart ain’t easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I’m forever yours…faithfully”
I just wonder if Steve Perry had a dad, and if so, why in the blue fuck did his dad not bitch slap him for sounding like such a pussy? I thought the point of being a rock star was to avoid having to pine away for girls like this. Pussy.
When I found out that Rob Halpert was gay, I sighed, and thought… “That makes sense.” Turbo lover? Who sings a song bragging about being a two pump chump… Even if you are sticking it in the pooper.
I know you might be thinking about how talented a drummer has to be to play with one arm. I have another spin on that. How simple does your music have to be for a guy with one arm to be able to keep up.
The video above is lame, but the lyrics to every body’s favorite bar song “Pour some Sugar on Me”…
“Love is like a bomb, baby, c’mon get it on
Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin’ like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah”
Uh… what? FYI, these guys didn’t even write their own music. The same guy that wrote for Bryan Adams wrote for them.
How does a band go from songs like Running with the Devil, Unchained, and Everybody wants some to this?
“We’ll get higher and higher straight up we’ll climb
We’ll get higher and higher leave it all behind
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you’ve cried
Ohh that’s what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that’s what dreams are made of”
Sammy Hagar pulled an amazing transformation from Hallmark card writer to heavy metal front man.
“Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that’s kind of hard when she’s ready to go
I may be dumb
But I’m not a dweeb
I’m just a sucker with no self esteem”
What high school note did these guys intercept to come up with these lyrics? “I may be dumb”? Wait wait wait! Yes you are!
I was in Portugal once. Here is what I did to become a local hero. Too bad the girls there don’t shave their pits.
“That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore”
How did these guys go from listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana to writing lyrics that Mariah Carey would deem to soft? If I see one more myspace page with a Nickelback song, I am going to kick the next baby I see.
Um, is this a rock band or a flavor of Clearly Canadian? Some of you are saying, “I like that song.” But read this shit out loud and ask yourself how fuckin silly you sound.
Break me down, you got a lovely face going to your place now you got to freak me out
Scream so loud, getting fucking laid you want me to stay but I got to make my way
Hey! You’re a crazy bitch but you fuck so good I’m on top of it
When I dream I’m doing you all night scratches all down my back to keep me right on
LAME

Which of these bands will you admit to being a suck for at some point in your life?
People voicing their moral proclivities about whether or not Dreamz has any honor are over looking the questionable decisions of the other people on the show.
Earl could have saved Yauman, and didn’t.
Yauman took advantage of someone who was homeless by offering him a deal that anyone in Dreamz shoes would take, but did not offer to keep him in if he gave immunity up. Dreamz might have have given up immunity if Yauman and Earl would have agreed to vote off Cassandra, that worthless sack of crap who did nothing the whole game.
Instead? They expected him to give it up and face getting voted off? Only a fucking idiot would take that deal, and even though Dreamz is not a rocket scientist… Even he wasn’t that stupid.
Let me repeat myself. If Yauman wanted to stay in this game, all he had to do was vote off Cassandra, get immunity from Dreamz, and win the game like a fucking man. Shit giving Dreamz the car and keeping him in for the vote almost would have guaranteed him a million bucks. But no… He put a guy who was homeless in a “take this car and give away a million dollars or you are a a man with no honor”. Bullshit.
You can say what you want, the true immoral person in that game was Yauman, for offering a nickel in exchange for $20 to a guy who needed a nickel to eat. Please tell me that illustration didn’t go over your head.
What happens? A guy who never won a single individual immunity challenge, and rode Yauman’s coattails is a millionaire, and Dreamz is a scoundrel.
FYI- I am in love with Michelle.
I want to make Asian-Italian babies that blog with her.
I think movie critics are assholes. Every time they say a movie is bad, I like it and vice versa. I intentionally didn’t read reviews so I could hit Spiderman 3 with an open mind. Just so you know, I wanted to see this movie so bad, I went by myself, during lunch, wearing a tie. With that said, the movie needed to do very little to entertain me.
It failed.
The best thing about this movie was the nachos I ordered. I want my money back from Sony and I want God and Jesus themselves to grant me the 2 hours and 20 minutes I gave away watching this debacle back. Here is why…
The fight scenes were so fast and so choppy you couldn’t tell what was going on.
They tried to make Peter Parker look deviant by giving him a bad comb over and putting eyeliner on him. If you asked me, he looked more like a Culture Club groupie.
The plot lines were so simple, and the plot twist and the end was so predictable one would think a third grader wrote it.
The acting was fucking terrible. Thomas Hayden Church had about 6 lines the whole movie. A monkey could have played his part. Why have an actor like him, who’s strength is how well he articulates himself, not say a fucking word? Snaggletooth was awful as always, and I wonder how James Franco (Harry) has ever gotten a job in Hollywood.
I walked away from this movie wondering how a on a $500 million movie set, full of people who get paid to be creative for a living, why not one person stood up and said, “Um, does anyone else think this is lame?”
It was that bad. If you liked this movie, then all you need is a ball of yarn to entertain you.
I remember a time when going to movies was an event. Months and months of anticipation, followed up by popcorn , dots, and kick ass movie. Now, when I am at the theater all I can think about is what I maybe missing on TV.
Why? When I see the kind of creative effort that is put into the shows on television I wonder how they can’t get these guys to write movie scripts. It has become so painfully obvious that movies are designed to get people to buy a ticket, and that’s all. Making good movies? Not a consideration anymore. Just making money.
The part that busts me up is how the studios blame Internet piracy for the drop in box office dollars. What a bunch of dildos. Here is my suggestion to you guys… come up with an original concept for once. Every movie in production these days is either a sequel or based off of a TV show or comic book. I can’t for the life of me remember a classic that will go down in the history of great movies that has been released over the last 5 years. Can you?
10-12 years ago we had movies like Forrest Gump, Titanic, Fight Club, American Beauty, and Saving Private Ryan. Now a days, we have Spiderman 3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5, Oceans 13, and a sequel to Bruce Almighty for God’s fucking sake. (All coming this summer)
Fuck that. Every one of those movies will look better on my HD-DLP- 56 inch TV when they come out on high definition DVD. Fuck, I can buy the movie, popcorn, and dots, and save 4 of my friends the fucking money it will cost me to go to the movie anyway.
In the mean time, I can enjoy the comforts of my couch while watching something that’s actually compelling, well written, and original. Not to mention that there is something on every single night.
Mondays-
You have Hero’s and this little show called Monday Night Football.
Tuesday-
The Shield, which will go down as the greatest cop show ever. (Write that down)
Wednesday-
Lost, which is hitting on all cylinders right now… amazing.
Thursday-
The Office… and
Finally two sitcoms that have broken the stereotypical sitcom molds with out canned studio laughs.
These shows are brilliantly funny.
Friday and Saturday… Go out loser.
Sunday-
and
I would venture to say that between these two shows, Rome, and The Wire… HBO alone has produced more hours of quality viewing time than any 10 movies in the last year combined.
I am telling you this now, if you look at any of these shows with a blank face and you go see shit movies like Doom and Scary Movie 4. (The 4th of a series of slapstick parodies. Real original) Save yourself the money and just get yourself a ball of yarn, because that’s all it should take to entertain a simple mind like yours.
So what do you think? At this point, what is better. TV or movies? Why? What are you watching?
(Katherine Heigl)
