Hooray, our favorite liars have returned! Sadly, I didn't write about this show last summer but I really enjoy it. It's like Gossip Girl meets I Know What You Did Last Summer.
With out any delay the show picks up right where it left off and still fails to leave you with that "so what just happened moment". We still have no idea who "A" is and right now it's kinda driving me nuts, but I'm intrigued. Without giving anything away, a lot of things happened, and didn't but there was a lead. Spencer now thinks that "A" is working with someone.
Here's what I think. I do concur that "A" is more than one person. I think it's that guy (the actor from "Smart House"- old school Disney), and Spencer's sister. The actress played that really crazy nanny on that one season of One Tree Hill that I watched. Or Spencer's sister's boyfriend and that Mona girl.
Or "A" is Andrea Zuckerman... Did you know that she turned 50 today? 50!
Can't wait to see how everything unfolds and folds back together again.
Pretty Little Liars is on ABCFamily Monday Nights (check your local listings, I'm not a TV Guide).
I usually get out of work at 6:30pm and have a ridiculous commute home because it's towards the end of rush hour in the bay area. However yesterday I left about 15 minutes late because it was a rough session. As I am about to pull off on to a storm of unnecessary traffic I realize, that this is the Dallas audition of American Idol and Joe Jonas is the guest judge. Panic ensues and I beg to get home in time while I am moving 5 mph and the Prius in front of me lets everyone and their mother cut them off.
However I made it right at the stroke of 8pm and rushed into the kitchen, turned on the television and who do I see..... Doogie Houser! WHAT! Don't get me wrong I love me some Neil Patrick Harris but this is not what I wanted. This is not what I rushed home to see. I will give him credit he was a great guest judge from the little that I actually paid attention to but still, where is my Joe Jonas! It seems like 45 minutes later, he shows up. And it was very short and boring. Heart is crushed, ego is deflated and now I am just left being a pathetic 20 something year old who rushed home from work to watch 15 minutes of a Jonas Brother, It's a harsh reality.
I mean they show HOURS of American Idol on Fox like every year and you're going to tell me that you are going show like 15 minutes of a part that I actually wanted to see! I mean where are the crazy people? Was Dallas not crazy enough for you? No disrespect to Dallas, but there are crazy people everywhere. It's just a fact.
This episode marked my last time that I will watch American Idol until the finale. However, I think I may watch Hollywood week because I want to see how Ellen mixes in but most likely not. Its a sad realization but one I must live with.
So all day yesterday I was determined to watch the 67th Annual Golden Globes. A tradition I have mostly kept ever since I was able to comprehend what they really were. I even stuck through and watched when no one was there during the writer's strike which was not as painful as watching the People's Choice awards the same year. Sorry Queen Latifah but sometimes its good just to say no!
So with some protest to the members of my household we watched the show in its entirety, including the mess of the pre-show that NBC had on with that dude from one of those shows and Nick Lachey's girlfriend. It was torture to watch but the worst out of all of it is that why couldn't the people at The Beverly Hills Hilton at least have a tarp outside for the rain. A couple sheets of plastic, come on! And I'm pretty sure that they could have found ways to recycle it. It's not surprise, it does rain in LA. Be prepared next year!
So I would hate to bore anyone with my rendition of the ceremony because there are 5 million other sites doing so but I would just like to chime in a bit on my best parts, worst parts and why I still don't like James Cameron. Yeah I said it!
The Best Parts:
Right off the bat Mo'nique winning for Best Supporting Actress. I have not seen Precious yet, I really want to but I am a crier, a loud one and I feel like I don't want to embarrass myself in public. From what I heard and the clips that I seen I don't think that anyone would be able to leave that film in one piece. Her speech was beautiful and genuine and greatly deserved! Bravo!
Second part.... GLEE! That's my show! I love everything about it and I love how they got the recognition that it did. It's an awesome show and truly hilarious. And its great to see a show about young people win an award. Super!
Third part- Dexter's Michael C. Hall winning and John Lithgow. I'm super excited because I just started watching Dexter before Christmas and fell in love and most importantly Michael C. Hall is a genius. John Lithgow was as creepy as Dexter and it was nicely done. Can't wait for season 5.
By far my favorite part of the show..... The Hangover winning for Best Comedy.
Genius! Yeah, I will admit I am not crazy over The Hangover like most people I know. It's not apart of my vernacular and I don't have a crazy shenanigans nor do I aspire to but credit has to be given when credit was due. It was a funny movie and kudos. But seriously Mike Tyson up there on the stage accepting an award for a movie is truly EPIC!
Other highlights: Meryl Streep, UP and Drew Barrymore winning. :)
Lowlights:
Chloe whatever her last name, her dress, her speech about her dress, and her in general.
Yeah I probably would have been upset too and if I was the designer I probably would have passed out but seriously lets calm down a bit. You're an actress. Act like you're cool with it and then unleash all heck out backstage. I'm sure that's what you do on your show, that I unfortunately don't watch. But from what I gather from it your character has to act like she is cool with her husband having two other wives right? So pretend like your character! It will be okay :)
True Blood not winning anything :( Boo. Well yeah, this season was okay compared to last. But whats so great about Mad Men? I will answer that soon, It's queued up on my Netflix.
Poor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I recently watched (500) Days of Summer and it seriously messed me up badly. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it probably won't have the same effect on you. I'm just weird and pathetic. But it was a great movie and he was wonderful in it. I hope he at least gets nominated for an Oscar. If you haven't seen the movie go watch it!
Lastly! James "I'm going to quote a line from my movie even if its my own made up language" Cameron. I did not see Avatar. I really have no desire to see Avatar, just like I had no desire to see Titanic. I was actually forced to see it when it came out on VHS (two VHS tapes I might add) by my best friend and as soon as it was popped into the VCR I was planning for it to sink from the get-go. But don't get me wrong, I liked Terminator and Terminator 2.
James Cameron just bugs me and Avatar to me is like Titanic all over again just in space or whatever planet or year it is in. Seriously when they were playing the theme I thought it was Celine Dion but then I realized Leona Lewis was there and I put two and two together. But seriously sounded like My Heart Will Go On.... gosh James "quote a line" Cameron. Was he all like "I'll be back" back in the day?? If I was coherent back then I think I would have been more furious than I am now.
So that's how I spent my Sunday evening. And since the awards were simultaneously with the east coast, it was super early and I watched Good Burger on Nickelodeon. Remember when kid shows and movies were good?? Not saying that Good Burger was award worthy but certainly better than Hannah Montana! Just saying!
What was your take? And is Avatar really worth it?
