grumpy old man
as i've turned 40.. i realize that i'm turning into a grumpy old man. music is too damn loud.. kids are too damn stupid and the shit they peddle off as t.v these days is utterly rediculous.
yes.. i'm oficially a grumpy old man so these are some of the things and topics that are making/keeping me grumpy.
(besides, i probably should vent to someone OTHER then patsy.. poor dear has enough on her mind with work and marshall.
1, TWILIGHT: what the fuck is this???? i've sat thru the first hour of the movie and read the synopsis on wikipedia and i STILL don't get it. sooo.. a vampire and a werewolf fight to try and exert influence that would be considered as controlling stalkerish on a high school student who (at best) would be considered a spoiled tool.. and this is considered gothic romance???? REALLY?????? do tweens have nothing better to do? jesus. stephanie mayer deserves to be locked in a room and have "atlas shrugged" piped thru on a continuous loop or about a month, vampires do NOT sparkle and sneaking into someone's room to watch them sleep isn't romantic... it's creepy and stalkerish.
note to all tweens: please find another obsession.... fast.
2.REALITY T.V: patsy and john have recently taken to watching Canadas worst driver/handyman and survivor. i don't get ANY of these shows. survivor is the same thing it's always been. a bunch of people who have seen the show before get dropped of on an island where they are given full permission to backstab,lie,cheaqt and steal and generally act like complete douchebags.. and people are STILL shocked by thier lack of honesty and integrity.. especially the other players. THEY make me laugh the hardest.. " how DARE you stab me in the back and lie to me" s/he says as s/he hides his own knife under the pillow. really??? you're surprised by this??? this is kinda like signing on for the alaska tour and then being surprised by the snow.
as for canada's worst reality shows... i understand the appeal of the shows themselves.. like survivor, they are aimed at the lowest common denominator. you watch to laugh at the other people. that i get. but does the host have to be such a snarky prick ALLL the time on both shows? really.. watch the shows and see.. the host comes off as a condesending dick thru every episode. they don't know how to do these things.. they look like they arn't really getting instruction.. and they're being rediculed publicly by this loser on top of it all.
what a waste of time.
3.KID'S T.V: specifically super hero squad. this half hour crapfest takes the heroes of the marvel universe and dumps them all into one city and lowers thier collective i.q of EVERYONE to just over "drooling on the pillow" level. mole man FARTS... can you believe that???
is this what we think of our kids nowadays that we have to spoon feed them this pablum under the pretext of entertainment?
i personally think you CAN write intelligent and engaging super hero stuf while not treating your audience like 6 year old kids. it''s demeaning.
4.Farmville/mafia wars/: this is a short one. i'm not at all interested in joining your yoville or farmville community. i don't care. stop sending me the fucking info please. i don't see the appeal.. i don't WANT to see the appeal. stop it.
the rest of my rants are interpersonal ones and will probably go into private entrys. i just had to get this much at least off my chest. thanks for listening
