CATCHING UP WITH ENTERTAINMENT
Because I am nothing more than a sloth who enjoys entertainment, I managed to watch all of True Blood in less than a day. Really, now. That shouldn’t be possible… Of course, I did sleep in between seasons, but as soon as I woke up I started all over again. Oh… Good times.
True Blood proved to be entertaining. At first…I thought it was just an okay show with an okay plot and I didn’t really understand the hype about it (I will continue to say that there is way too much sex for my taste). However, now that I’ve finished watching all that was released I can say that I am dying to see the next episode. It’s a drug – one of those shows that no matter how much you wish you weren’t addicted to it you just can’t help yourself. I won’t spoil anything for those who haven’t seen it, but if you can tolerate vampires and red necks then I suggest giving it a look see. I won’t say it’s perfect or that is a must see, but it’s decent entertainment.
I have also missed the last three episodes of Warehouse 13, and I’ll probably try to catch up with that show today before going to bed. I find this show to be immensely entertaining. Peter Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) is probably my favorite character, and for the first time I find myself actually liking the female characters. Shock! I really need to catch up so I can learn more about Claudia Donovan (Allison Scagliotti) – I hope to find her to be likable, too.
Sadly, I have other shows that I’ve missed due to my laziness (actually, reading, but whatever). Let’s see… Burn Notice, Monk, Psyche, Royal Pains and Eureka are just a few. It seems like a lot, but I don’t believe I’ve missed too many episodes. Let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best!
With that said, I am super excited about the return of Bones and the new show White Collar! I’m seriously going to be very busy for the rest of this year… Watching T.V. shows and pretending to understand any deeper meaning they may portray – when, really, I just care about the entertainment value. ;D
I THINK I REALLY HATE MOVIE CRITICS
Honestly, I think I may truly hate them – every last one of them.
It’s probably due to the fact that we never see eye to eye – not entirely, anyway. While I may be able to sit around and listen to my friends’ opinions as to what made a movie great or horrible, I can’t truly deal with the opinions of critics. They sit up on their high horse – chattering away at whatever mindless imbecile that desires to take their word for fact – and spit at whatever they do not deem worthy. I cannot stand the holier than thou vibe they put off. It’s almost as if – because they don’t like something – they want to see its creator fail.
Ugh… Of course, because I don’t like them very much I don’t usually care to read what they have to say. Wouldn’t you know it, though, that almost all of my friends have to tell me about what this critic or what that critic has said about a movie I really liked? You may be thinking, “Oh, don’t fall into their diabolical plan to suck out all your happiness!” Yet, I do not listen.
It’s rather like watching a horror movie and telling the lead role to not go into the blasted bedroom because you know some hulking 6’5″ monster is waiting on the other side to REMOVE THEIR DAINTY LITTLE HEAD! Story of my freakin’ life, man.
So, yes. I – the person who has always believed that arguing about another’s opinion is pointless – hate movie critics. ; _ ; It’s a sad world we live in. A sad, sad world.
