What I've Seen...Thotful Folks...

Thoughts on:

The TV fall season begins in September and October but some networks have released the pilot eps online for some of a few show to get awareness up.

The ones I’ve seen.

I was looking forward to Constantine--I thought the actor looked a lot like comic book Constantine. I don't think he could do worse than that last big screen Constantine...ah-hem.

He does look like Constantine. And he's actually not bad. I just can't put my finger on what the weak link is. Definitely the writing but it's not because it's bad dialogue, just bad pacing and character motivation.

Jensen is on twitter! He has noooooo idea what's lurking out there.

One tweet and 276, 000 followers. Peer pressure! I know that young Padalecki was trouble.

Damn good looking dog!

If I have to choose between Chad and his dog, I'll take the dog. He's the coolest looking dog I've seen.

Thanks for the reviews!

Frank Grillo! He hadn't registered on me until Winter Soldier but then he stole every damn scene he was in. And Aldis is so pretty - you caught some good 'uns!

I've been to Sweden a few times & watched "Welcome to Sweden" out of curiosity. The leads are so bland. Amy Poehler's brother is no Amy Poehler. I wish Lena Olin had a better vehicle because she's gorgeous and amazing. (Ditto Karen Gillan and John Cho.)

Sin City really took a bath at the box office, huh? Too old school for the post-Marvel film universe, perhaps?

Jensen Ackles who joined Twitter.
Maybe he will accidentally tweet a sex text to JP and there will be CONFIRMATION at last.

Now that JA has joined, that leaves Glover and Tom as the SV twitter hold-outs. Schneider may be my least favourite SV cast member but he has done a good thing in ice-bucket-challenging Tom. I need that clip like oxygen.

He's so great, isn't he? I was really happy he got such a big deal gig w/ Cappy 2. He was a soap actor back in the day. I don't know where he hid out until a few years ago when he began popping up in everything. In Josh Brolin's reddit AMA for "Sin City" someone asked him, "What happened in 2007? (when he began working a lot) Did you suddenly get superpowers?" That's my question for Grillo. "Did you sell your soul to a crossroads demon say four years ago?"

And Aldis is so pretty - you caught some good 'uns!

Still so very pretty and sweet.

So not. And he reminds me of Greg Kinnear minus being actually handsome, having appeal and comedic timing.
I honestly don't know why I tune in.

“Welcome to Sweden” tells the story of Bruce (Poehler) who moves to Sweden to follow the love of his life, Emma (Josephine Bornebusch). Between the culture shock and the barely restrained hostility from Emma’s mother (Lena Olin), Bruce is hoping that love will trump the comfort of what is known.

It’s one of the few shows I watch that I don’t quite know why I’m watching.

Perfect Impression and comment about the show!

I didn't get it either, I only watched about three episodes because they were there on the streaming site and I had seen all my Say Yes to the Dress new season episodes. WtoS isn't even good watch while doing something else TV. It is bland which is an insult to Sweden because I watch all the Wallander TV series, British and Swedish, and I love those shows. When I watch them, I watch them. They are very moody and emotional shows and riveting.

...it was so late in the production but he had to act with people who aren’t even there, you won’t even know it. He’s an amazing actor. He’s pretty astonishing; Josh Brolin ( ( ... )

I only watch Say Yes to the Dress when I'm visiting my mom. I don't know why it's a vacation thing to me and not a "at home" thing, but it's turned into that. I saw one ep where the bride wanted a black dress and the dress she found was gorgeous. I loved it. Her mom, not so much.

But WtoS is just bland and meh. I don't know how it was renewed. I guess NBC wants to keep up a relationship w/ Amy Poehler now that Parks and Recs is ending. That's the only reason why this would stay be on their lineup. I'd be more entertained if they just trained the camera on the lake and aired that.

Now this has always been my problem with Mr. Rodriguez's films. They are brilliant stylistically and technically expert, but there is no meat or interest in the characters to them. They are trash, but not good trash when it comes to plots or characters. They are good trash to just watch for the action and ( ... )
