Those Aren't Rapist Shoes!

Oct 03, 2006 00:47

Before I get to the Monday night television, I have some fun links for you all! See, we (helpmeveronica.com) developed all these extra bonus videos as a reward for solving the Codemaster's devious puzzles. Of course, only like five people bothered to stick with it long enough, and it seemed like a waste to hide them behind a barrier most people ( Read more... )

Studio 60 is certainly not exemplary of what I like about Sorkin's style of drama, so...I think the lack of blowjobs is more widespread than you think.

It's not, like, Bad. But it's also not good. It's neutral. It's so neutral that I watched the entire episode with a Googletalk box to rawles open and said one, negative thing, to her in 42 minutes. It was like, in one eye and out the other or something. There's no spark.

Snooze.

Yeah, I mean, where's the pizzazz?? This makes me not as keen on checking out The West Wing.

I'd still rather watch this than, say, Six Degrees, but still.

But TWW is full of pizzazz! It's a pizzazz parlour! I can't believe I just typed that!

Six Degrees is the new J.J. Abrams joint, right? Hmm. Me too.

No! The West Wing is totally pizazzy! Sorkin is so very good at writing people who take their jobs really really seriously and have very long and moving monologues about that fact, and that whole attitude fits in with politics way better than it does with television comedy. Because let's face it, being President gives you a whole lot more leeway for world-changing than working on SNL, especially nowadays.

Okay, Mohindar may not have super powers, but he's, like, crazy hot -- so that makes up for a lot.

And, to clarify, my summation of Studio 60 was from watching about 30 minutes of last week's episode and five to ten minutes of this week's episode. So I couldn't even tell you whether or not I agree about the second half being better. But as was said ^above^, I think there are less S60 blow jobs going around than you'd think. My f-list does not seem universally pleased.

I really like Studio 60. I do agree with you on that Science rehearsal though. ;P But then, I'm a huuuuge Matthew Perry fan and looove Nate Corddry. And I love all the humour and am reminded happily of Sports Night enough times to be happy. ;D

Also, I kinda love that Dr. Von Wolfhausen video.

Aw, thanks! I had the idea for a while, but I never had the courage to actually do it until the almost very end of the HMV. And then I randomly decided to film a Homestar Runner homage, too. I'm weird like that.

More like... awesome!

Oh, I'm totally with you on Heroes and Studio 60. Because I thought I would like the latter more than the former, but it's totally the opposite. And Hiro is my hero.

And I'm taking the weird thing as a compliment.

But all we've done is rehash last week!

Ah, but they rehashed AND added as they went. I thought it was a brilliant way to help people who only heard about the first episode get caught up. Nothing like a confusing plotline to keep people from watching.
