TV & MOVIES, la la!~
I saw Hugo the other day - SUPER AMAZING GO SEE IT PLEASE. I wanted to see it in the first place but I loved it even more when it turned out to be so involved with film and the history of film-making. Amazing. So colorful and wonderful and well done, with such a precious spirit, it made me so happy. We didn't see it in 3D but something tells me it would have been worth it. SO. Just my two cents. ♥ My mom and I were going to see My Week With Marilyn on Wednesday but the times didn't line up. Soon, soon. Although IDK how I feel about the casting.
I watched all of The Riches over the past two days (I started it years ago but only watched half, I think. May as well have been none of it though because I remembered jack shit) and it makes me so upset that it was canceled, and didn't even get time to be resolved well. Stupid fucking writers strike ruined it, I can't, I can't, it was so good. Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver were flawless. I am so sick of things of such quality getting canceled when shit like "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" even make it past initial pitch meetings.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY WAS FUCKING EPIC, THOUGH. OH MY GOD. Both in plot and in make-up/visuals, I WISH THE SHOW WAS THIS CREEPY AND AWESOME *ALL* THE TIME. Let's face it - it's not. But this was wonderful and I can't wait until next episode.
X-Factor is some serious fucking bullshit. I cannot STAND Melanie or Marcus at fucking ALL. Someone tweeted me and asked why I don't like Melanie and that's not even 140-character-condensable. She just bugs the hell out of me, I see nothing special about her. Yes she has a great voice but so do a lot of people. I want more than that (read: Rachel, who is twice the badass in half the body). She always sounds exactly the same, her hair is fake as shit and she talks way too much. I get annoyed that Steve constantly cuts off the judges but lets her give her long-ass diatribes in random accents whenever the fuck she wants. It is obnoxious. And the first time it happened, after her way-too-gospel-for-me-to-respect serenade, I suffered so much secondhand embarrassment I cannot even tell you. She does not have the sparkle in her eye that I look for in someone on a show called The X-Factor. Marcus is a bit better but again, always the same and he really just feels like a poor man's Usher, a more goody-goody 2.0. I like my stars either edgy, with balls or attitude (read: Tiah, who I was super pissed went home), or with extreme genuine heart (read: Drew). This middle ground shit doesn't cut it. Also Josh's hair bothers me and I got so sick of them bringing up the burrito thing at every opportunity ever. I loved Drew and I wanted Astro to win the whole damn thing - kid works his ASS off and I can't believe America doesn't appreciate the talent it takes to write your own smart-as-fuck lyrics every single week. Now that Rachel's gone too, look at all the fucks I give. If not for Paula and her adorable face and clothes, this shit would be dead to me.
Glee - THE TROUBLE TONES ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN NEW DIRECTIONS (ALSO WHAT A STUPID MASH-UP, I get the ~growing up~ thing but it was so ;lkadjsf), WHY DID THEY NOT WIN. WHY DO THE BEST THINGS NEVER WIN. I AM SO SICK OF IT. I don't even know why I'm bitching, I don't care about or enjoy this show nearly as much as I used to anyway.
I think that's it. WAIT NO, I LIED -
Dexter... I don't even know. I knew EJO was dead like 5 episodes ago, so omg yes it was a ~shocker~. The characterization of Dexter is bothering me hardcore, he feels so off the rails and maybe it's intentional but I also think it's just shit writing. Tell me I'm not crazy. ALSO, question - when Deb was in therapy, she was like, "I used to have nightmares and sneak into his room... they didn't even know I was there." They? Who? Was this intentional or was there a line about her parents that they cut out? It made no sense and I was hoping it would turn out to be something creepy or sinister but I think it was just a fuck up and I hate it when that happens. Quinn's alcoholic horse has been beaten to death and basically all of this stupid shit better lead somewhere in the next two episodes or I will cry. Jason had a great theory that whats-his-face - is it Louis? - is obsessed with the Ice Truck Killer and is aiming to make Batista's sister his Deb Morgan. I hope beyond all hope that is the case. Anything less than that at this point would be a letdown, tbh.
The Walking Dead has been boring to me this season but I know it's because their budget got cut, so I feel for them and that sucks. I just feel like simple storylines have taken far too many episodes to explain/resolve. The ending of the most recent episode gave me hope though because it was wonderful. I knew she had to have been a zombie (mainly because her being alive or just regularly-dead would have been too fucking lame) but the way they exposed it was awesome. And I love how Shane spent the entire episode talking about how Rick wasn't fit for leading this life, how he was the only one, yet when Sophia stepped out Rick instantly had enough balls to strongly walk up and shoot her. Burn. I loved it though.
I don't even mind that it's on hiatus because my new favorite show is on Sunday nights now - The Virgin Diaries. Oh my god you guys it is excellent, I can't fucking even. I can't believe these people are real. AND I AM SO GLAD I AM NOT A VIRGIN - I love sex and imagine what a letdown it'd be to put the pussy on a pedestal (or dick, I just wanted to use the quote) like twice as long as most people and then have an awful first time. I was super lucky in that my devirgination was totally BALLIN', but I know most people aren't that lucky. Like, I'm super stoked to know that I will have an awesome, no pain or premature ejaculation fucksesh on my wedding night, if marriage is the ~path I choose~. I mean, shit.
ALSO, guilty pleasure show - Friend Zone on MTV. LOL I SECRETLY (NOT ANYMORE) LOVE IT.
