excuse me while i pee my pants laughing

In response to the review from "Johnathon Doege" where he says "OMG every character in this show is completely insane". Is really EVERY character completely insane? Isn't just really every WOMAN character? And why is that? Could it be common to TV & Film written/produced by gay men and indicate an actual contempt for/jealousy of women?




found this gem on hulu while watching glee. oh wow.

this is mostly for tara, but others may apply

so, fringe. anybody watch the season premier? don't worry, i'll totally ruin it for you.

because that season premier just may have ruined the show for me.


seriously? shape shifters? isn't that a little too sci-fi channel? okay, whatever. but what about the shape shifter shifting so quickly into charlie and then magically getting rid of the body and stripping it of its clothing and producing the body of the nurse? and what about the fact that when shot directly in the back, the shape shifter didn't even flinch, but kept running with obvious super human strength? or the fact that the shape shifter has super human strength and yet was working really hard on choking olivia dunham? and it didn't even work.

ugh.

altogether:

peter's still on the show: +5
walter's still on the show and he wants to make custard while performing an autopsy: +5
new girl is sneaky and can break into the fbi's top secret website with a mere moments pause and a secret code she has somehow managed to get: -3
the car crashes and olivia's nowhere to be seen, then she suddenly flies through the windshield as if from nowhere: +9
broyles (i have no idea why i like him. to be honest, it's his creepy face i imagine when i'm up in the middle of the night tending to children and it's that face that makes me turn on all the lights as i go): +3
astrid's new hair: -1
the fact that walter called her "asteroid": +2
lame shape shifter: -7
extra body that no one can explain: -10
the fact that real charlie has no clothes on when shape shifter charlie goes to burn him: -7
there's a bad guy in the fringe science ranks: +6
the speech charlie gives olivia: +5
charlie's dead: -10
broyles and redhead kissing: -4

total: -7

anyone else?

altogether, i give it one, big, grumpy BOO!! i've been WAITING for that show all summer long! naturally, i'll be watching it this week. it had better improve or i just might have to do another one of these entries.

“wouldnt it just rock and roll if liking someone meant they had to like you back? of course that would be a different world, and something else would


i felt a litle sad last night as the last pushing daisies episode ever came to an end.


seriously, what was abc thinking shutting that show down? have you seen the other garbage on that channel? hav you?


so no more chuck, no more ned, no more emerson cod and olive and the darling mermaid darlings. . .



it ended leaving me unsatisfied. but maybe that's just me. what did you think? and more importantly, what are we going to watch now?

There are Commandments! We follow all ten, and I am commanding you to stop!



this may be old news to the rest of you, but i just learned that my favorite tv show, pushing daisies, was canceled. in october. i have no idea how i missed that.


WHAT?

i may never watch abc again ("hooray!" says ryan).


in all seriousness, i wonder why they canceled something so well loved? and why are people wasting their time watching lost and its wandering plots when you can see something like this:




my poor heart can barely take it.

on an upside (the ONLY upside), what size is chuck and what are they going to do with her wardrobe i wonder?

"it walked on my pillow!"


yester-evening a bird flew in to our home. ava was terrified. i was deeply amused. because this one time in an arrested development episode, a bird flies in to lucille's apartment and buster tries to get it with a broom.

we all have a little bluth in us.

will you accept this rose?

i just watched the beginning portion of the bachelorette (oh don't give me those looks! i had a weak moment) and had some thoughts:

number one: isn't this just an outrageous way to get revenge on your ex-boyfriend who you're still smarting from? they kept saying things over and over, "you'll meet 25 of the best single men in america to help you forget brad" (to which she smartly replied, "who?" and we all shared a good laugh) or "brad is going to really see what he's missing" or "the day brad turned you away will be the day he regrets for the REST OF HIS LIFE". isn't this just a little pathetic? and this brad guy, does he really feel that bad about it? are we sure she's not just coming off as desperate?

number two: deAnna's dress could quite possibly be the ugliest dress EVER. and i think it was too big.

number three: who are these people? and why is she inviting them on a date instead of saying, "i'm getting a restraining order." there are guys walking around without their shirts on saying things like, "deanna's everything i want in a woman: she's hot." or holding their dog (who is ugly) and telling the dog, "can you wish me luck? can you wish me luck to go win the heart of the girl i love?" (i'm sorry, love? isn't that a strong word? i mean, you know, since you haven't met her and everything??)

number four: is this show real? can it be real? i mean, what could they possibly have to gain from flaunting all of their sad lonely lives all over national television to win the heart of a girl they DON'T EVEN KNOW???

and finally, number five: is anyone watching this show (or are you not really into admitting it now that i've wiped the floor with your favorite past time)? and what do you think?

you look as beautiful as the queen of england

Dwight: Whenever I’m about to do something, I think “would an idiot do that?” and if they would, I do not do that thing.
