Being Human vs. Being Human: The English do it better!

 

 Back in January while on You Tube, I was completely bombarded with advertisement for a new show on the SyFy channel, Being Human. The show definitely had its selling points: a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost live together in an apartment. I'm sold. So after seeing the trailer and having the advertisements all up in my face I checked out Wikipedia to learn more about it. Wait a second, it's already a show? A current show? And it's British! SOLD!

After literally spending a close to a whole month catching up on the original BBC series I was in love and there was nothing else that mattered. Where have you been all my life Being Human? Where has Bristol, England been all my life? And Aidan Turner? More importantly where has British television been all my life? Being Human has started this revolution in me to pick up and move to England. I will forever be grateful.

I immediately fell in love with the show. It's Buffy meets Friends but in the UK. What I loved most about it is that it is so un-Americanized. I mean yes, we still have a hairy vampire and a hairless werewolf but our vamp is scruffy and Irish. Hot. And I don't know about you but I enjoy a werewolf that cries at a drop of a hat. You go George! The English just make the concept easier to grasp. Yes, it's a very good looking cast of actors but they are not overly beefed or sexed up. They're human.

 I know there's a lot of people who are enjoying the American version. I'm not hating on it but I just can't get into it. After watching the entire first season and then into the second season when the SyFy version premiered I lost my interest. It was basically the same story. It's a great story but I just watched that story. It's hard to watch a remake of something when you just literally watched it. Especially with the same lines. I'm sure fan boys will go completely bonkers if Andrew Garfield starts spewing out Tobey McGuire lines in the new Spider-man. (I can hear the future whining now.)

I just think that the BBC series is organic in comparisons to the American version. It's a watered down version. I may be completely wrong. Maybe they will go in a different direction. After all, each series (seasons) of the BBC version ranged from 6-8 episodes and American TV shows usually range from 12- in the 20s. If they are following the UK series exactly they are going to run out of story soon and would have to make some stuff up, right?

So for those of you who have never seen Being Human (any version), I say check out the English version. That goes for those who have only seen the American version as well. However both versions are not going anywhere. Both have been picked up BBC series for series (season 4) and SyFy series for season 2.

Being Human (UK series) currently on hiatus in the UK. Series 3 is currently showing on BBC America and series 1-2 are available on DVD and on Netflix.

Being Human (SyFy) is currently running on SyFy and is available on Hulu.

Pretty Little Liars: Season Finale

Sorry for the long awaited Pretty Little Liars season finale post. I'm still mourning over the fact I have nothing to watch on Monday nights. Is it me, but it seems like it's been forever with these hiatuses. It's been MONTHS since a new Vampire Diaries (just saying, but this is about Pretty Little Liars).

So the season finale didn't disappoint, they (the powers that be over at PLL) still left us all confused towards the end with 10 million more questions to be answered. It feels like it's a endless can of worms. Which in a way is good but might be super annoying to people who read the series and those who read about the series on Wikipedia (i.e.- ME).

Here are some of my questions/ concerns from the finale:


1. Garrett and Jenna


- Um. Did anyone see that coming? So in my extensive research from wikipedia, Garrett was not mentioned in the books. Or maybe he was but he wasn't a major character. The point is, I don't understand that relationship or the point of it. I guess it would have to be answered when the series returns.

2. Ian



- Yeah, Ian "killed" Alison. I use "" because I "like" to and I'm not "sure" along with everyone else if "Ian" is really "dead". However, for you PLL book readers if "A" is who "A" is in the book, could "A" really throw Ian like that. I mean"" could she?

3. Spencer's sister's baby bump.

- I don't think Spencer's sister is really pregnant. I'm just totally against the whole thing. Especially if she lied about going to Georgia in front of the pastor's wife. That baby bump happened so fast like Mr. Schue's wife's hysterical pregnancy. (Glee season 1).

4. Ezra and Aria.



- I think this is the end. Which I am happy for because the world's most boring couple definitely goes to those two. I mean it wasn't that scandalous if you look back at the history of teacher/student relationships on teen angst dramas. The number one teacher/student relationships goes to Pacey Witter and his English teacher Tamara Jacobs (that's Dawson's Creek circa 1998)



So I can honestly say I enjoyed PLL. I hope it returns quickly because I REFUSE to watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager (they talk to much on that show, way too much talking).

Thought, theories of Pretty Little Liars? Share away!

TV: Pretty Little Liars

Pretty Little Liars is coming to an end but will we have some answers? It always feels with this show that it's one step forward and then a million steps back. What's up with that?!

This episode was okay, nothing too big revealed except for the end but it wasn't that fulfilling. Hopefully the season finales leaves us with an O.M.G moment (like Hanna getting hit by the car but then a miraculous recovery. Just. Like. That.) I just want some questions answered man. Who is A? Did Ian kill Alison? Is Jenna really blind? (Yeah, I know she is but didn't you feel so bad for her when Hanna slapped her last episode? I almost cried, that was scary!) When is Mr. Fitz going to get fired? Why is that policeman so creepy? And how did Spencer's sister get super pregnant so fast?

I love this show but sometimes I feel like they just introduce a character and get rid of them in a second. The same thing I felt with Lucas but from the promo for the season finale he's back. I didn't miss him that much. Caleb was such an improvement from Lucas and the boyfriend (whatever his name was). I feel like Caleb reminds me of Jacob Black (what Jacob Black should of been instead of awkward Taylor Lautner.It's not his fault the whole cast is awkward, he goes with the flow... the flow of awkwardness). Anyways Caleb was a really cool "bad boy". Not so bad but smart ass, yes! More Caleb please!

Another thing that I want to see is more creepy Ian. Ha ha. He's so creepy. Why doesn't the rest of Spencer's family see that? He's like EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE! But it's good because you know he's a rat and he's totally going to get caught for being a rat. 

As for Emily... gosh is her story line annoying and boring. Emily needs to loosen up. Even when she was "drunk" as Deena Nicole puts it she was not a holiday in a glass. LOOSEN UP EMILY! And that girl Paige has issues, SHE TRIED TO DROWN YOU! Hello?! Anyone remember that? Anyone?

Anyways, let's hope that next week's season finale is promising. I want my questions answered darn it! At least one. I'm so happy I'm watching the show instead of reading the books. My friend wikipedia told me everything I wanted to know about the books and I'm kinda disappointed with the story lines.

Promo for next week:

Well that's how I feel about it.

Let's start a dialouge: Tell us what you think?

Who's A?
Who's creepier? Toby? Cop guy? Or Ian?
Who does Spencer remind you of: Scooby-Doo or Nancy Drew?
Who's more annoying? Aria or Emily?
Are you so over Mr. Fitz?
Isn't Caleb awesome?

These are the things that keep me up at night.

Tell next week

What I watched on TV last night: Pretty Little Liars

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...

And an open letter to the creators of Weeds: PLEASE BRING BACK THE OPENING THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

What I watched on TV last night: Pretty Little Liars

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).

My Vote Doesn't Count: Teen Choice Awards

I've come to the harsh reality that as of tomorrow when I turn 25, my opinion no longer counts for such competitions as Choice Hottie. It is a sad, sad day. I'm not going to lie, up to a couple of years ago I was logging on the Teen Choice Awards website to vote making myself eligible . As pathetic as that sounds (which it is and I regret sharing that with the world-wide web), tonight is a worse situation: I am boycotting the award ceremony and feeling horrible about it as I type.

Why this all of a sudden sense of being an adult, you ask? Because I think it's about time. I'll be straight out, I love watching iCarly and ABC Family (Pretty Little Liars is my summer fave), but I don't have to actually participate in the communtiy.That's lame and sad.  I can remain a fan and still watch those shows, but learn my limits and not participate (less lame and sad, a closeted tween).

I learned this the hard way on may occasions during the past year. First occasion (on going occasion), a tween I attend church with knows I too enjoy the Jonas Brothers. Short coming of that occasion, the stares I get from my peer group, the adults. Second occasion, during my practicum as I was giving an assessment to a 8th grader the subject of New Moon came up. The 8th grader and I shared our plans about seeing the movie. Helllloooo? Wasn't I suppose to be doing something like I don't know, work.

Not get me wrong, it's great to connect to kids and know what they are listening to and build rapport but when does it turn into you're too old to be liking what I like? It reminds me of that Knocked Up scene, where Leslie Mann and Katherine Heigl are trying to get into the club and Craig Robinson calls them out. I don't want to be Leslie Mann crying on a curb in a couple of years. That's sad. I don't want to end up being that mom. You know, that mom.

Excuse the cursing :(

Anyways, maybe this is just a cry out for the loss of my youth. But I'll read about who wins tomorrow on MSN anyways :)

 

Oscars tonight!

The Oscars are on tonight! So excited, so far the dresses look wonderful and at least they have a tarp for the rain this time. They learned from the Golden Globes. Review on it later.

Crying Youtube Child meets Justin Bieber and I am Jealous!

No I don't have "Bieber Fever", but I am resentful. Everyday when I was her age I use to come home from Pre-school run to my den with the hopes that Joey Joe (Joey McIntyre) from New Kids on the Block would be there. I was sadly disappointed everyday. Dreams crushed everyday until my cousin got over her obsession with them. Or I got into something else, probably Eureka's Castle ( really dating myself, aren't I?).

However, the only thing I got to compensate my unlikely dreams was a New Kids on the Block pillow case which I ruined each night when I drooled on it. I never got a concert ticket or to meet them. I ended up getting a concert ticket last summer though (best childhood dream come true ever) but I had to pay for it myself. Thanks, Mom!

My point is my mother didn't give into my obsession and give me false hopelessness and Youtube didn't exist back then. Neither did the internet. I knew Joey Joe loved me back just as Justin Bieber loved this little girl back. He still does. Our love has been like 20 years strong. Justin Bieber isn't even 20 years old! My love trumps your 3 year old love!

What becomes of this little girl now? Will she always think that Justin Bieber is so accessible? Is she set up for failure? That's the problem with kids today. Things that they love are easily accessible. You can tweet Nick Jonas and have a chatroulette session with Paris Hilton. We use to write fan mail, through the actually postal service. Yes those things that you have to walk out to your mailbox to get.

So yes, I am resentful but one day I will meet you Joey Joe. One day. All seriousness, she was adorable. I am so jealous right now.

I would be kind of upset if I was her sister. I am kind of upset right now.

What I watched on Tv last night

No. Are you calling me a liar? Didn't I tell you I was officially done with it? So why second guess me. I am done. But its hard to go around functioning in life without hearing about it. Ryan Seacrest tweets about it non stop. By the way, he had chicken for dinner before the live show.

Although I am not watching it, I can still put my two cents into it. I just have one question and its my question I have had for a long time ever since it was announced. Why is Ellen Degeneres a judge on American Idol? No, seriously why? I'm a little bit peeved because allegedly, I say allegedly because I'm not watching and my proof of reference is from a tweet (funny how tweets are reliable sources nowadays). Ellen said that a contestant could not sing and they should be on Glee.

There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where I should begin. First, don't knock the only good show that FOX has going for them now Ellen, because the clock is ticking on Idol. Second, do you watch Glee? I LOVE GLEE but that's beside the point. No it is my point. Glee is a hundred times better than American Idol and its a scripted show. A real television show. I am over "real people" trying to win the heart of America. I rather just have Rachel Berry annoy the heck out of me and root for her because she's the underdog and you root for the underdog. I want go back to connecting with characters again instead of connecting with people who are trying to be characters. (Another post in the making).

Back to Ellen, isn't your main job a television host where you interview people. I think it would be awkward for a cast member of Glee to be on your show now, don't you? Oh yeah, you told someone they couldn't sing, and that they should be on our show.... awkward.

Glee is awesome, Idol sucks and Ellen should stick to her tv show. I can't have too many people on too many shows. I should only see you once during the week, on one show. Are you listening Seacrest?

Don't think the cast of Glee can sing? Check out this video from the World Series where they sang live!  Not every winner or blurb on our radar (contestant) on American Idol can say that. Can they?

American Idol: Hollywood Week, Last Week. The End.

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.

Check out Kara's "a-ha" reaction. Just focus on that alone. Does it annoy you too?

Grammy's in Review

The 52nd Annual Grammy's were on this past Sunday.I, personally, was confused because I thought it was also Superbowl Sunday. However common sense (along with a friend) got through to me and was like " Duh, you can't have Superbowl Sunday, Grammy night and Justin Timberlake's birthday all on the same day." Silly me.

So I sat and watched mostly of the show. Omitting of course Taylor Swift's performance. Best quote: " Taylor Swift has never met a note she liked."- Michael Buckley (@buckhollywood). So true. You can watch Buckhollywood's recap of the event on here , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5CfwDf4suc (by the way one of my favorite youtube channel ever).

Back to the Grammy's and what I liked and just didn't plainly understand about them this year. The most common theme this year was "let's out do everyone and ourselves." When I mean everyone I mean Lady Gaga. Let's be honest, she in nature is over the top and I believe everyone got the memo and was like we need to take this chick down!

Lady Gaga. The performance was weird (like her) but tamed and appropriate compared to everyone elses. I did enjoy it, well the end of it more so with Elton John. What I didn't understand was why Elijah Kelley (aka Seaweed Stubbs from Hairspray-2007) was the weird MC. Do they know each other? What was the point? And why wasn't he singing because he is a really good singer. So that was... weird.

Beyonce. I was able to catch a little bit of the 60 minutes interview with her before the show because I was hoping that it was on earlier (nope). She was quite adorable when she was a little girl and she seems very humble. She received extra kudos for being fierce. The performance. Not one of my favorite songs of hers, I still have the Howard Stern thing stuck in my head.

However one of my favorite performances of that song vocally. Personally I think she could have done without all those body guards pointless people and just sit and sing. Great homage to Alanis Morrisette too. Totally unexpected.

MJ tribute. I love that song, I loved the way that they did the film in the movie. Did not go to Target to get the 3D glasses and my head and eyes regret it. The only person out in the audience who looked like they were really enjoying the performance, you know with that 3D glasses "in awe" face was Beyonce. Everyone else was like stone face weird-looking. The best way I could describe it :-/. Great singers and usually not a huge fan of Carrie Underwood but she definitely brought it!

- I would post the video from youtube but I don't want to hurt my eyes again. Ouch.

Black Eyed Peas. Too much, too much, TOO MUCH, yet fun. They have been consistent with their background performances though with the "over-the-top" costumes and stuff.

Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift in general... Oh gosh. I think she is what I thought of Britney Spears back in the day. I feel bad for Britney now and I route her on because when you look at what she to be and now what she has become you are like "What happened?" and want to give her a hug. Taylor not so much. Yes she's grounded and her songs are catchy because they play it five million times on the radio but she's so boring and not that unique. YAWN. Maybe I have this personal vendetta against her for the Joe Jonas thing. I personally believed she hung up the phone on him. This is what I think about daily as a graduate student. Daily.

P!nk. Impressive. It was impressive she didn't fall or get electrocuted. Impressive just in general because although it just looks like she's just chilling in a stork sheet thing she's still singing... LIVE. I always enjoyed P!nk. I just miss her pink hair. Couldn't the hammock been pink. Just saying.

Recording Academy President. I think every other year when you speak, you annoy me. Especially this year. I love, love, love it when you speak about preserving music and fine art education, museums and how the industry is moving forward. That's wonderful, that's inspiring and thats what fans and people who are aspiring performers want to hear. They want to feel that connection from the big wigs, to the artist, to the consumer. HOWEVER, I don't want to hear that the industry is suffering from illegal downloads due to the recession. That I'm sorry these musicians, yes, who are passionate about their music, who also get endorsements from other means are "suffering". The reason why it wasn't genuine is because it came from you and not from them. Yes, legally buy music because that's something that someone wrote, produced, played an instrument on. That is their craft and we should support it. But no, I'm not going to sit there and have you tell me, a really poor college student that life is rough for you too.

With that said... Best moments and best performances of the night:

Michael Jackson's children speaking. Very touching and proud moment.

Jonas Brothers. Joe looked amazing of course. With his glasses and his little facial hair. He's like a man now. Nice.

Green Day. I am really interested on seeing the musical. I think it was nicely done.

Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli. No words. Speechless.

Award season is coming to an end. Next is the Oscars. Maybe Paula will post something on the Superbowl because heck I think Justin Timberlake's birthday is like a national holiday. Silly fact: Two years ago I actually won a prize pack on the radio for Justin Timberlake's birthday :). So yeah, I acknowledge his birthday.

What did you think about the Grammy's? Were you bored? Did you stay up late to watch like me?

TV last night

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.

I wasn't the only one who thought last night was a bit off. Sorry Joe, I still think it wasn't your fault. http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/28/joe-jonas-american-idol-guest-judge/

 

The Agenda

You know what tonight is, American Idol: the Dallas audition with Joe Jonas as special guest judge.

 

You know I'm happy. Next on the agenda... my take on the Jersey Shore. I know the ship has sailed, I should have just let it passed :-/

67th Annual Golden Globes

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?
