Flava flave and Danny Boniduchy...

Disgust me.

Movie: Across the Universe

I liked it.

It didn't quite match the hype I had going in, but I enjoyed it.

Postmodern film making always excites me. I liked the reinvention of songs, the musical, and an over used storyline.

I found the story week but the effects and style redeeming.

I love the music of the Beatles and that's reason enough to watch and listen.

Shows I am liking

Dexter -- Really like it. Great watchable characters, simple and intriguing stories.

The Tudors -- Great casting, historical value, sex, power and the crown... love it. Showtime's coming back!

The Riches -- Really liking it, gonna watch more.

Nip Tuck -- Saw a few of the last season, I liked it. Fun and addictive.

Dirt -- Only seen parts, but I love Cortney Cox

Weeds -- Saw the first two seasons on DVD, really liked it.

60 Minutes -- I like a good news show. Andy Rooney scares me but the journalism in the show is there.

Bill O'Riley -- While I don't always agree with his views or many of his guests I will say he has become more fair and I like the incorporation of obscure words.

The Real Housewives of Orange County -- Got hooked on it, some characters remind me of friends.

20 /20 -- I love the "What would you do" shows and the feel good journalism. Medical mysteries open your eyes to all that can go wrong with the human body and make me scared to have children. It's almost a freak show but they pretty much succeed in giving it a heart and not make it exploitive.

Simpsons -- Always a fan.

American Idol -- This is the first year I have followed it from the beginning and I have grown to understand the players. Before I always just liked the first three episodes.

History Channel -- Always love Modern Marvels, Engineering and Empire, and the shows on Weaponology.

National Geographic Channel -- good shows here and there.

The Adventure of English -- on at 4am, it's the most interesting and informative show on TV. The history of the English language is fascinating to me.

Keeping up with the Kardashians

This is the stupidest show ever.

Alright I have never actually watched it but judging by what I have seen from clips on Talk Soup I can tell it's awful.

Kim Kardashian is disgusting to me. A classic example of a no talent, self obsesses no scruples person who will never understand what life is about.

It used to be that people became famous for doing something good, or something heroic.

These days people become famous for doing something shameful, like making a sex tape with another disgusting self obsessed no brain. Or going to rehab, or something like that...

Kim represents the decline of television and even the decline America...

so sad.

John McCain

I think John McCain is good man; an honorable man and a true patriot.

But he is not the President that we need in this time of great change.

McCain is not knowledgeable on the main issues that this country is facing: Health Care, the Economy, the Environment...

McCain is a war guy. He likes the war, he wants it to go on because like Bush Co, he gets his strength from it. The trouble is, it needs to end. America cannot afford it in it's present state. A base there is inescapable, but a protracted occupation like we have now is not sustainable.

Because McCain is not very knowledgeable on the economy and health care he is not prepared to address the problems with vision, and this is when the corporations provide one for you a la Bush's Prescription drug benefit Plan that cost the tax payers billions needlessly.

McCain is not a bad guy, but not the man America needs right now.

SNL

SNL is coming back slightly I think. It is still a far cry from the Will Ferrell days but I am really likeing Kristin Wig, I like Amy Pohler and a couple of the guys. I don't really like or get Will Forte.

Lasts night's SNL however was bad. Super Bad's Johah Hill was not good at all. I actually can't stand him after watching the episode. My fears that he is just like the characters he plays was realized. He is just like the characters he plays. He is not really an actor he is just playing himself. I find him gross, crude and horribly crass and almost disturbing. Not funny at all, he had no chemistry with the cast. He dominated the scenes in a bad way. One schetch was him talking non stop about how he is six years old, no one else really spoke... it was practically unwatchable.

Movie: Jumper

On a scale of 1 to 10... I give it a 5.

Hayden Christensin (or whatever) is the worst actor. Horrible delivery, totally unbelievable as any character. Rachel Bilson (who I like) is still stuck as 'Summer' from The OC. She had a few good moments but is really not a great actress either. Samuel L. Jackson also always plays an angry black man. All his roles are the same as well, this time they changed his hair color to make him seem different.... didn't work.

The effects were nice, it is the only redeaming element of the film. The plot was full of holes and clunky, the back story was hard, but poorly explained.

The story is sort of fun, it looked like a great movie to work on, great locations, some great shots, but the film was flat, oddly dull.
