Okay, I have a confession. After a hiatus of three or so years, and a strong belief that the show pretty much sucks, I...I watched the two-hour season premiere of One Tree Hill last week. Damn you, writers' strike! What have you wrought?
So here's the thing...I, um, didn't totally hate it. And *gulp* I'll probably keep watching, at least until something better comes along. Sure, it's totally unrealistic. And yes, Lucas pretty much needs to be slapped upside the head every 7.3 seconds or so. But I'm basically going to be watching for one reason, and that reason is
Nathan and Haley's freaking adorable son, Jamie. Yes, he's ridiculously smart and self-possessed for a supposed four year old. But he is So. Damn. Cute. Hanging out with Uncle Luke! Wearing a cape with Uncle Skillz! Bonding with Auntie Brooke! Eee! Totally breaking my heart with Jesus Nathan.
And much as I hate to admit it, CMM was looking pretty hot. Perhaps watching the show will inspire me to finally finish "Unholy Alliance"? We'll see.
Also went to see a sneak preview of 27 Dresses this afternoon, and I really liked it. Was it predictable? Yes. Was it fluffy? Yes. Was it a bit cheesy? Sure, but I went to college in Wisconsin, so me and cheese? Likethis. Katherine Heigl made me remember that it's Izzie I loathe, not KH herself. And James Marsden seriously needs to be the new go-to guy for romantic comedy leads. Seriously. He should have every role Matthew McConaughey has ever smarmed his way through. (And I like Matthew McConaughey. Or I did. Back in his A Time to Kill days. Which was, um, 12 years ago.) Plus JM has the prettiest blue eyes I've seen since...Chris O'Donnell back in, like 1993. Hee.
