me: I never understood how 50/50 raffles can be 50/50… maybe I never will…
And if I don’t find out who or what the deal with Jacob is…I am not watching “Lost” next year. I’ll watch it on MY time when I feel like it.
Will The Jacob Strike happen?
Find out tonight in the last 15 minutes of Lost! Or the next episode. Or the next episode. Or the one after that. Why are we still giving a shit again?
*edit* We didn’t find out tonight. We never will. It’s useless.
But mark my words: If we don’t find out about Jacob in the next 3 episodes (through the end of Season 4) I will become a DVD watcher of Lost and will boycot the show until it hits DVD. THE JACOB STRIKE SHALL PROSPER.
When Tina Fey’s ‘30 Rock’ started, it was a diamond in the rough. An original, fascinatingly funny sitcom-esque tale of the behind-the-scenes of a network television show. Fey’s dorky wit, paired nicely with Tracy Morgan’s borderline-retarded Tracy Jordan, Jane Krakowski’s dim witted blonde Jenna Maroney, Alec Baldwin’s…well, just how do you describe Donaghy?
Every character had something special to offer, and with an entire “writing team” of secondary characters, the humor was always new and fresh, with each joke being vastly different from the last.
But I’m kind of bored now. And it’s only Season 2. That’s not a good sign! Even though I’ll positively watch ‘30 Rock’ til its end (which is hopefully on Fey’s terms), something is missing, man! What (or who) is to blame? The writer’s strike? The writers themselves? I can’t seem to pinpoint what is missing exactly. The Office has been mediocre for me too. And Lost has been meh all year. It could very well be the mid-season disruption that is leaving this gentle viewer unfulfilled (lookie, a Jane Espenson nod!).
It’s game time, Fey! The ‘hit or miss’ conundrum needs to end. We know you’re funny. The show is and can be even super-er. Fantastical! Beyond our wildest dreams! When on, 30 Rock is ON. But for every ball hit out of the park, 1 or 2 episodes strike out.
And that sucks.
As promised, here is my sloppy, half-untrue-because-I-was-really-messed-up review of Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay. (Note to self: “Guantanamo” is probably spelled wrong. You should look it up.) (*Edit Note to self*: Not doing it. Way too lazy).
It’s cliche, but “it was good, but not as good as the first!” Wink. Nod. Smile. Insert enthusiasm.
Was it something to write home blog about? Maybe, maybe not. Partly, because it wasn’t better than the first (not to its disadvantage!) and partly because I don’t want to ruin the insane, random, non-sensical, and OUTRAGEOUS happenings in the stoner-sequel extravaganza.
Survey says: Don’t go see it sober. But go see it!
And you know what that means.
3.5 Netflix stars out of 5!
The poster? It had me at hello.
(This post contains a spoiler from tonight’s SURVIVOR. This is your one and only warning.)
I don’t exactly know what to write. I mean, the title says it all.
This wasn’t even an unplayed hidden immunity idol. He HAD the REAL immunity idol!
ERIK. WHAT THE FUCK, MAN!?!
To sum for those who don’t care/didn’t watch…he gave away his immunity idol to Natalie based on a “promise” the final 4 girls gave him: that they would vote Amanda out. Clearly, they outwitted him. And it didn’t take much.
Would Erik have won this game if he stayed? Maybe not. Probably not. But dammit, E. I liked you.
I feel bad saying this, but congratulations on becoming the dumbest Survivor player ever. =/
*edit* I apologize for TLW becoming a Survivor-only blog lately, but it’s the only thing that’s really holding my attention. Especially with Lost sucking royal dick.
Yup. I said it.
Why. Do. I. Keep. Writing. In. One. Word. Sentences. ?
The year of the blindside strikes again!
And here she is ladies and gentlemen:
Amanda Kimmel for the win! Amanda successfully found the hidden immunity idol, tricked her fellow castaways into thinking she didn’t have it, and perfectly played it to nab herself immunity and send Alexis packin’. Now that was FAN-tastic television.
So who’s left? From the favorites: Natalie and Eric. And the faves: Parvati, Amanda, and Cirie.
Five are left and only 1 will be the sole survivor.
Personally, I’m rootin’ for Eric. But he’s going to need to ride immunity til the end. One loss and he’s outta there. UNLESS, he can strike a deal with Parv and Amanda, but after trying to vote Amanda out, that’s unlikely.
Can Natalie swing Eric over to her side to guarantee her and Cirie to the final 3? Will Eric just be voted out as expendable? Or will Parvati continue to mastermind the game…or so she thinks…
This is why Survivor Micronesia has been the best. season. ever. I’m glad I decided to watch again. It’s good to be back.
Mario Kart Wii was released this week, and I haven’t had time to write about it yet because I couldn’t drag myself away from it.
It. Is. Ridiculous.
Wow.
Killer graphics. Fun wheel accessory. The most difficult tracks ever on a Kart game. AND BRILLIANT WIFI. Probably the best wifi incorporation the Wii has seen thus far.
BUY THIS GAME.
I’d write more…but really you should just play with me.
Yup.
Because you find things like THIS:
And also THIS
Yup.
Blog? What blog? Ooooh, that Winslow thing. AHHH! ihaven’twritteninWEEKS. Oops. I’ll try not to suck anymore. So let’s begin.
The latest Apatow-produced film, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” definitely isn’t a flick to forget. I rather enjoyed it! Yes, it’s not as immature and aloof as “Knocked Up.” And it isn’t high school fare, ala “Superbad.” However, Apatow and his crew are on to something. A movie can be a chick flick, yet still be funny enough to attract the guys. And they won’t even feel like they were dragged into that theater seat either!
If you are Judd Apatow, or one of his regulars, this surely = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It’s a fine line to walk, but “Sarah Marshall” is yet another example of the edgy-chick-flick genre that “Knocked Up” seemed to begin. And that crew, man. They’re on to something! (That trailer for “Pineapple Express” looked pretty damn spiffy too!)
Personally, I think I laughed more than the “older crowd” in the audience that rainy Sunday afternoon, but who can resist a grown (naked) man crying pathetically. Especially if it’s Jason Segal, who wrote the movie too! (sidebar: Just saw a commercial for “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” which could arguably be the forefather of the Apatow movies. I’d accept that debate, I suppose).
Mila Kunis. I wasn’t thinking of Jackie (That 70’s Show) while watching her “Rachel” on screen. Good for her.
Kristen Bell. We all already know how I feel about her. (What a smoking body, though)
Go see “Sarah Marshall”. It’s a good date movie. It’s a good comedy. It’s an all-around winner.
Next up: Harold and Kumar. If I’m sober enough post-viewing (read: If I remember seeing it), I’ll keep ya posted. (Maybe my next entry can be titled “Remembering Harold and Kumar,” except next time, it won’t be a play on the original title.)
i HATE the new WordPress.
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATEEE.
2.5 blows.
