One Tree Hill: Third Rate Script, Second Rate Angst, First Rate Pretty
I decided to watch One Tree Hill
OMG! Where has it been all my life? And I don't mean it in a "it's an insightful look at human condition that will change your life" way. Nope, I mean it in the "the shallow pretty angst that is as pointless as it is addictive" is pure trashy gold.
All the basketball is bearable only on FF, the dialogue is eminently unquotable, Peyton is probably the most annoying female character ever: nope, being a pretentious bitch does NOT equal hip and edgy, Nathan is kinda dull. I love my angsty bad boys but he is bad-lite, and not angsty at all. Unless you consider petulant = angsty (Has your entire civilization been wiped out by homicidal robots? Have you been tortured into insanity for the wormhole info you possess? Has your side lost a Civil War that took your ideals with it? Have you been experimented on and tricked into believing that your destiny prevents you from being with the only one you love? Are you doomed to never know a moment of perfect happiness because it would turn you into a soulless monster? I think not. So shut up, Nathan).
But who the heck cares? Chad Michael Murray (or whatever order his names go in) is Teh Hot. So hot that I could stare at the pretty for hours. And Lucas is sweet and nice and decent and has angst. And the soap of it all amuses the heck out of me.
So I will definitely continue to watch...
