more reviews, this time of Nip/Tuck

I watch Nip/Tuck.  Dunno why.  I support all the FX dramas...wait no I don't.  I watch The Shield ("just another daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay) and a little bit of Rescue Me, and sometimes when they put on a dumbass movie like that Jamie Foxx one of the guy who writes children's books about killin people, I'll watch a bit.  I missed that Vegas series, so oh well.  Either way, I watch Nip/Tuck.

But they just don't seem like they are tryin in some of these episodes.  Sadly, last night I was actually bored durin this one.  Man, this is even turning into a boring blog.  I'm puttin p******* back on the schedule.  hahahahahahahahahaha

I'll finish my review of RAW.  Benoit vs HHH in a 60 minute ironman match.  That ruled, coz Benoit rules.  HHH was ok too, as a matter of fact he did a really good job.  Maybe Smackdown will clean up its act now that Angle is back...unless he starts boning corpses or something...but is he too far gone now?  I mean, his role as GM was crappy, and I am starting to hear rumors that he is not bein so good backstage...hmm....that would suck.  I have to find new television shows!!!

I know this is ridiculous...

...but I think I am going to skip the Chris Benoit vs HHH ironman match, because the RAW Diva competition is just THAT crappy.  I don't even enjoy the Trimspa girl.  She obviously planned hers.  The battle royale was ok, but I already knew Randy was gonna win...so nothing surprised me.   So I might just turn this crap off on a matter of principle...

...but then again, I don't really have any principles.

hahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahaha

This freekin page rules....

Everything is fodder.

tut tut

Mind your manners, now.

here come the cool cars...

He's got the key to vector sigma!!!

fusion cannon or particle cannon??

Such heroic nonsense...

How the hell am I going to get people to read this???

I have received NO comments on my friggin blog.  It's been up for a couple of weeks, but it appears that nobody gives a crap about Little House on the Prairie, or the WWF, at least my reviews.  So, what topic should I address????

I'll talk about capital punishment.  Hmm, maybe people will get that.  I like the idea of capital punishment, but not for adults.  Adults have an entire life to make connections, and people say, if an adult grows up to become an evil adult, that is the failing of society.  I agree!  It's a failing because we did not EUTHANIZE his ass when he was a kid!!!  Think about it!!  You have a four year old, and that kid kills another kid.  Yeah, it happens.  Some parents are unfortunate enough to just create EVIL sons of bitches.  So, whaddya do?  Well, he's small...not gonna put up a fight...so cancel his ass.  Nobody is gonna miss an evil 4 year old...and the parents can make another one!!!  Look at these kids...there are those two tykes in England who killed that bulger baby...now they are under police protection!?!?!?!  They should have just put em in a sack and dumped em in the Thames!  Some kids are born wrong like that.  No remorse, no morals.  Why allow such a blight on society to continue? Just destroy them!!  No counseling or whatever is gonna fix these lil' bastards....they will cost you and me $$$ for the rest of their miserable lives.    So, Capital Punishment for Children.  Whaddya think? 

I bet this will not show up on google.  If it does, maybe I'll get either (a) some kids who are doin reports on this crap and are surfing the internet...if so...oops...but if yer a kid and yer reading this....BE GOOD!!!!  Bush is still president!!  So "no child left behind" does not NECESSARILY mean "all kids get pulled forward."  Maybe it's more of a "take no prisoners" thing...So...BE GOOD, or yer gonna get sent to Afghanistan with the one-eyed Taliban f***ers.

You know what?  In the USA, we bitch about a lot of stuff.  But you know what?  The USA is the best freakin place to live in the world.  Totally.  At least, I  think so.  I LOVE living here.  And you know what else?  I have been thinking about our other populations...with visa problems, etc...sorry.  Yeah, we have kneejerk reactions sometimes.  But that's what we deal with.  No outrage comin from me just yet.  I love livin here too damn much.  I don't know jack about the rest of the world, at least not enough to consider myself educated, but then again, why the hell should I?  I know as much about Germany as a typical German knows about the USA.  I know as much about France as a typical Frencher knows about the USA.  F*** you, you know it's true.  I spend a lot of time in the UK and people there think that NYC and LA are 15 miles apart.   So, when people say stuff about the USA, I don't really care, coz honestly they have NO effing clue what they are talking about.  Come over and check it out.  Just see if you don't fall in love with the place. 

I am not sure if I am a liberal yet.  I think I am, locally.  And I do my part, teaching everyone, etc.  Yeah, I guess I am a liberal.  I am not a protester tho.  Coz I shower. 

Hmm,  GKS...Go to bed!!

the morning after...

So there is this guy in Little House who runs a hospital in Rochester, Minnesota.  He's a bad man.  But, this is a two-part episode so maybe he'll go all ebenezer scrooge and be nice or somtehing.

Poor Mary. 

So I just realized that Little House on the Prairie is more different than my memories.  I used to think that all the episodes were all about Laura and Nellie feudin, and sucker candies, etc etc etc.  But it's not like that at all.   There are maybe a couple of episodes like that, but more than half of the episodes are about "Plague" and "Quarantine" and "Mary gettin an abcess" and "Mary goin blind" and "Hail kills all the crops" and "tornado destroys chaz's farm" and all that crud.  The title of the show should be "Life is a Bitch on the Prairie." 

Joan Allen does nothing for me.

WWE RAW REPORT 7/19/2004

I dunno if I wanna review the whole thing....I went to sleep, after all.  It really kinda sucked tho, overall.  Are we seeing RAW go back to the same crap we saw last year?  Is it Smackdown's turn to be good again? 
 
HHH the human thesaurus comes out.  Ok, I'll spell it out - he says everything three times.  "I felt a pain deep inside....in my gut...in my stomach....in the organ between my esophagus and my intestines....in my tum tum. "  "I will beat you....I will win the match...I will get back my title..when that bell rings i will have won...you will have lost....the title will be mine...mine will be the title, young jedi."  Then they start goin off on Eugene.  Regal came out and punched the crap outta him...I wonder what will happen there...I don't think Regal is good as a full-blown face..he's much better as kinda the irked caretaker, like he was with Eugene...stuffiness is his thing.  Who knows - maybe with his "Combat Conditioning" he'll be even more bad ass.  I like him, personally.  Always seems to know what he's doin.  Regal vs Angle...that'd rule.
 
ok what else happened...do I have the order right?  Was it Tajiri vs Grenier next?  Tajiri is cool and some of his kicks look pretty neat.  I wish he would drop the tarantula and maybe make some of his handspring moves look less staged. 
 
Did they do that crappy Diva thing next?  Holy CRAP what a waste of time.  Parade of women wearin skanky clothes and goin "woo!"  hahahah one lady dressed TOO skanky and couldn't even walk properly...it was like that basic training scene from "Spice World."  The only good one is the one from the Trimspa Commercials...so anyhoo, Y2J says lets go trash Bischoff's office and they do, and it is DUMB.  And then Bischoff comes in and calls em all dumb and it's kinda funny in a mean way, because you can tell at least 5 of them forgot that they were supposed to be yelled at that night.   
 
Hurricane vs Tyson Looks-funny-in-his-trunks.  I forget what happened.  Hurricane apparently now needs Stacy Keibler to get a rise out of the crowd.  There are many pics of her can on the web. 
 
Benoit vs Batista - this was the reason I did not turn off RAW right at the Diva thing.  Benoit always looks good...and they make Batista look better every week.  However, Benoit looked kinda weak in this one.  Sure they DQ'd Batista for not lettin Benoit out of the ropes, but it made the champ look like a dumbass, just dangling there, getting kicked.  I don't think that's good for the Rabid Wolverine, even tho it is truly to soften him up for the Ironman next week.  
 
Promo by Orton, sorta good, until Edge comes in with his Canadian accent...hahahaha. 
 
I'd like to make a law that says the word "bitch" needs to be used sparingly on all WWE programs.  If all the promises to "make someone my bitch" were true, then with all the combos we have seen...then every single wrestler on the show is someone's bitch!!! 
 
ok I turned it off after this, sorry.  No idea what happened.
 
Personal thoughts...I always liked HHH, coz he's got this authority.  Sometimes his promos don't always hit, but then again, he gives one every week, so I guess they can't be 100% good.  Hell, the Rock showed us recently that sometimes you don't do good ones.  Benoit rules.  He is just that good.  I dunno if he will drop the title at SummerSlam, but he is just THAT badassular.  He just rules as champ.  I mean, even the Rock was not this good...you were always worried he was gonna get beat up, and was only holding it coz he was cool.  Benoit reminds me of Brock, but just like a million times better. 
 
This Diva search just bugs me...I can't wait till it is over, and no not because I care about who wins.  Although, I hope Ms. Hemme wins.  No I am not gonna vote. 
 
 
 
Uh oh, Carrie fell down a well!!!!

New movies?

I hear Disney is going to do an animated version of "A Modest Proposal."  That'd be sweet.  Phil Collins is gonna do a stirring rendition of "Seamus had his baby for lunch."

Maternal instinct is a bitch!!

Ok so I was just walking back down MacArthur Blvd to my apartment, carryin a couple of bags of groceries, coz I'm hard like that. 
 
Anyhoo, what do I see in front of me?  About 30 feet ahead, I see a robin chasing a squirrel into the street.  Weird!  The robin was flyin like 6 inches off the ground and tryin to get the furry-tailed rodent, likely coz the latter was buggin' her nest.  HOWEVER, as the animals approached my 2 and crossed over to my 10, also headin from my 10 was a, well, to put no finer point on it, a car.
 
I know now what it sounds like when a squirrel meets the rear tire of an auto.  A kthunk that I likely won't forget for a while.  As for the robin?  Broke hard right like a f***in MIG, and then circled the area for a while as if to say "hmm, not sure if I meant for THAT to happen." 
 
The moral of the story?  Don't use yer cell phone in the airport men's room. 

I'd rather have subtitles.

So I've got the DVD sets of the first 3 seasons of Little House on the Prairie, and these are the only special features!
 
-extended Laura and Mary pillowfight
-Screentests for the silent Native American in the snowstorm
-original unaired pilot with William Shatner as Mr. Edwards
-lyrics to "Old Man Tucker"
-frontier jibberish subtitles
-extra episode where Mr T has to create an undercover football team to play against the Nazis.
and
-cut scenes where Mr. Oleson takes the belt to Nellie.
 
 

I have not posted in a long time.

Abe, you fail.  Get out.

WWE RAW tonite

75% of the way through.

Words cannot express how disappointed I am in some of this stuff.

The Eugene-evolution-Benoit stuff is really really good.

The Flair stuff is fresh and good.

Y2J is always the Highlight of the Night. But I dunno how Kane is doing. HOWEVER, Lita's acting was the BEST she has EVER done by FAR. I really like this women empowerment stuff.

THEN...the whole thing gets pissed on.

What is this whole Diva search? Plastic women comin out in plastic clothes and getting interviewed by that f***ing old has-been pervert Jerry Lawler. The first chick shows a talent that she can touch her nose with her tongue. Great. Wonderful. First of all, it barely touched (I can stick my tongue UP my nose) and second of all, nobody in a f***ing stadium wants to see somethin that dumb. The second chick was even worse. Man this is embarrassing.

I am only leavin the TV on for Flair and Benoit....

My quest

Ok, I am totally going to defend the Thunderbirds movie until it comes out and perhaps sucks royally. But I have a thought that it is going to be THE movie of the summer, apart from that Spiderman one! Maybe it'll be as good as Iron Giant.

Reba MacIntyre just told me to buy a Whirlpool dishwasher. Sorry, I aint bitin. 'sides, I live in an apartment.

How come all superhero movies and shows have the heroes wearing latex costumes. You can't spring into action if it takes 45 hours to get dressed.

I spend a lot of time watching commercials these days, and it really just kinda bugs me now. Ok here's one right now. A BUNCH OF ELEPHANTS DOIN JAMAICAN RAP FOR PEANUT BUTTER. What the f***? Ok now it's a bunch of cartoon bears wipin their asses in the forest....and wht!??? Dancing around waving the paper above their heads?? Please bring back the old Transformers commercials.

Ok Harry Potter is on ABC Family right now. I might watch it because even if it is edited for TV...who cares. What are they gonna do, take out the shower scene?

I always admired really fat or ugly actors and actresses. Obviously when they are cast they are responding to an ad like "big fat person wanted" or "ugly person needed for lots of jokes at your expense." Boy howdy, no denial there!

Ok a cat just turned into Professor Maggagogglenoggle or whatever. That was cool. Looks like I just found my evening's movie, especially given the fact that Hans Gruber is in it and is gonna blow up the Nakatomi Hogwarts. "I have to go tell Hagrid that his brother is dead...."

hahaha

Dunno....First Time!

Those are the words uttered proudly by Mr. Miyagi after he smashed the beer bottles in front of Daniel LaRusso and the drunks. It applies to this, my first blog entry. Dunno what to talk about...I have serious writer's block today. I bought a power tower today. No, that's not one of those ghetto blasting boom boxes with all the bling bling taillights on it, etc; it's a free-standing hunk of metal where I can do dips and pullups at home. Not bad...I am going to get up to 100 dips in succession, and um...30 pullups..I guess that's a good goal. Then I can join the Starship Troopers. Heh heh Roo's roughnecks. This blog is totally going to get better, once I start writing about things that bug me. I spose for now I could start with DVD and movie reviews.

I have the first 3 seasons of Little House on the Prairie and I got halfway thru the first season. I am in the ep now where Nells and Harriet Oleson start having marriage difficulties, or rather start showing them. I always wondered about those two...she was such a nasty lady...he really did not emerge as a cool character yet...but later on he ruled. In the eps before that one, Ernest Borgnine played an angel. I think he came right from the set of "Escape from New York" for that...but maybe it was like 6 years too early. Who friggin cares.

There was a really good webpage up for a while...www.leisuretown.com. Was funny as nuts. Now it's not there any more.

In addition, I can't find any good links to a band called "Voodoo babies." No, not THE Voodoo Babies, that is another band. The one I wanna see is the one with the chick lead singer. They do the theme song from those Trimspa commercials.

What else...Spiderman 2 RULED.

I guess I could even review professional wrestling! I agree with everyone that Chris Benoit is awesome. So is Chris Jericho. HHH is doin better and is more fun, but I still think he's too big and round now. The Rock sucked in his last appearance and hopefully will do better next time. On Smackdown, it seems like everyone on the internet hates this guy JBL. I used to...but then I realized, I really did not have much to hate the guy about. He's a successful, opinionated, patriotic guy who happens to play a bad guy on TV. His act sucks as a face act, but as a heel act, it's kinda good. People complain that he simply got pushed into the main event and did not deserve it, but in a way, hell he's been with the company for a while. I don't blame the main event for Smackdown sucking...I blame all the rest as well. It's just really boring.

I went to Alaska but would not really recommend it to people who like stuff.

ok, even tho the Little House eps are good...the DVD's have zero features. They dont even have subtitles, which is a pain in the butt because the volume is so low and swooshy swooshy. I can't even get the subtitles when I go thru my TV menu, and that usually works.

GKS....go to bed!
