Well, I know who "A" is... thanks Wikipedia and my awful curiosity. I just can't believe it took like 3 books (I think) for them to reveal who the mystery person was. If I was actually reading the books, I think I would have been pissed. But then again you have a different experience when you read. Like for instance the Twilight series was somewhat exciting more so than the movies. Somewhat.
Anyways last night was interesting. Lot's of display of emotions and non-emotions and no need for emotions. I really feel bad for Lucas, poor fellow he needs a hug. However, that Noel dude is very creepy and Ezra needs to grow a pair. I think everyone on that show needs to be a little more assertive. Like Hannah should have been like "No Mona, I don't want these people in my house because we have tons of money that my mom took stashed all over the kitchen." But no, she didn't and now possibly mom is going to have drug problem just like Cindy did on the new Melrose Place (same actress and I think that show should of had another chance).
But I digress, I wonder what's going to happen. Are they going to reveal who "A" is soon? And Spencer is totally on to something, she reminds me of a Nancy Drew or Scooby-Doo. And how creepy is the Toby-stepsister thing?? Yuck. Incest is never okay. You go Toby! No means no!
I just have to give major props to the actress who plays Mya, Bianca Lawson. The chick is like 31 and still playing a teenager and she is flawless! Huge fan of her since Buffy and Capeside (Dawson's Creek). And she was Emily on The Vampire Diaries, I hope they bring her back. Actually I think she would have been a better Bonnie.... just saying.
On to next weeks episode. This is the only show I like now on ABC Family since they cancelled my beloved Lincoln Heights (no more Chassie) and I refuse... REFUSE to watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager (too much talking, waaaayyy too much talking).
By the way does the opening theme song remind you of the original Weeds theme song. Let's do a comparison...
Pretty Little Liars
Weeds
And an open letter to the creators of Weeds: PLEASE BRING BACK THE OPENING THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!
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 know there has been a lot of movies out this year but this one will inspire you. This is a problem in our own yard. Let's evaluate our situation and fix it. Will you pledge to see it ?
After at least four months, Glee returned to tv last night and all was good in the world between the hours of 9:28pm and 10:28pm. All though some parts had you questioning, for instance, why is there a piano in a library? Other parts had you seriously peeing in your pants of laughter, i.e. Brittany: " You know that dolphins are just gay sharks, right?" (I literally died of laughter, please continue to right that girl lines, she delivers each time!)
I totally enjoyed the return of Glee however, some of the musical numbers last night were a bit bland. Maybe it's because next week is the big daddy of them all episode devoted to Madonna. Today, Sue Sylvester's version of Vogue was full on circa on the net. It was so-so for me, it only got funny towards the end. I'm not really looking forward to the Madonna episode like everyone else is, what would be uber bingo is if they actually had Madonna on the show. I personally would rather see the original Material Girl then Lady Gaga as she is in talks to have her own tribute show as well.
Other great moments of the show last night was of course Idina Menzel who is Broadway royalty and that other dude from Spring Awakening. Sorry I'm not a-ga-ga over Spring Awakening, sue me. I do hope that they let Idina sing, they make Mr. Schuster sing all the time for Pete's sake!
Oh well on all seriousness and gratitude, Glee we welcome you back into our homes. What did you think of last nights episode? Did you vogue? Did you know that dolphins are just closeted sharks as well? It would be great if someone could share if they ever seen a piano in a library before?
One question and one question only: Why doesn't Leonardo DiCaprio have an Oscar? Seriously!
This is not much of a review because if you have read reviews of the film, you can't get really get a solid review without given something away. I thank the marketing and people who have reviewed the film for doing a great job by not doing such. And I dare not be that person.
What I can say is that I went there thinking that I was going to be scared out of my mind. I personally wasn't. But some people were. Some people thought that there was too much going on. Too much imagery. It's a movie, right? What do people want in a movie nowadays? I guess blue people and a made up language. Well any movie that knocked Avatar out of its position is my kind of movie.
I also believe that Martin Scorsese has never made a bad film, EVER. All his films are different. He is loves film, he treats it with respect. A great director and DiCaprio a great actor. A true canvas. I think this by far is one of my favorite films of his, honestly. I literally walked into the theater thinking I was going to see something and saw something else and was pleased.
So I recommend this film. If it feels slow to you in the beginning, hang in there. You're probably not use to films like those and I mean going back to the Hitchcock era. Old fashion good films. Give it a try, you will be surprised. If you're a Scorsese fan, a win. DiCaprio fan, win. Great quality movie fan, EPIC WIN.
Can we start petitioning for this man to win an Oscar already? Do they do that?
So like I promised, I was not going to watch American Idol anymore. I lied, but not completely. I saw the first 20 minutes of it, got bored and then quit indefinitely. I can't put my finger on what made me turn it off but I decided enough was enough.
It wasn't Ellen, although I still have no idea why she is on there. Yes, I like her show. Yes, I think she's funny. No, I don't think she has anything to do with music except be a fan of music. I'm a fan of music, I should be a judge! However, I do see the connection that she is a performer and she gave great advice for that, but I just wasn't digging it.
The only part that I really liked was Andrew Garcia. What ruined it was Kara "a-ha" moment realising what he was singing. Like you have a job in music industry, right? You worked with that woman, right? You should know this, RIGHT? Then I turned it off. No, I turned it off right after the girl from Tennessee who never been on an "aeroplane" killed her audition. Poor girl :(.
Then I was done. I think it could of been a lot of factors that led me to this decision to break up with Idol. I think the icing on the cake was hearing the possibility of Howard Stern replacing Simon. Now I just think Simon Fuller doesn't care anymore.
It's been nice knowing Idol. I am sure something new will come along soon and then I will get bored with it as well.
R.I.P
2002-2010
Check out Kara's "a-ha" reaction. Just focus on that alone. Does it annoy you too?
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?
