So, it may come as no surprise that with my life being primarily devoted to school and a small social life, that I'm still watching lots of TV shows. TV shows are perfect though. 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time that I can have at one time to just sit and watch some people run around. Anyway, let's get started.
Can Sunny really get better? I can't even fathom how they are going to top these past three weeks of shows; eagles wrestling, kitten mittons and cat in the wall have been just so good. Charlie and Frank are the funniest characters in the show, by far. They are even so good that I consider them among my favorite characters of TV shows in general. The show just pushes the limit of sanity and ridiculous on such a regular basis that it's really hard to not laugh when Charlie is making his pitch to the camera to buy some sort of cat glove. Best. Show. Ever.
Now that Sunny is my favorite show of all time, let's take a look at the one that previously held that title: The Office. I'm still watching it. I tune in almost every Thursday night to see the next adventures of the folks at Dunder Mifflin but it feels to me more like a habit that I do that. I generally just get to my TV at 9 in preparation for Sunny. The Office is still a good show, to be sure. This last episode about the murder game was pretty funny. I laughed a lot more at it than I normally do. Though I can't help but feeling like after Jim and Pam got married, where does the show go from here? There's Erin and Andy, which I am in full support of. And now they are talking about closing the branch. Do the writers have the guts to make this a true character driven show and shut down the branch? Can we stick them all into another place and still have it be funny? I don't know. We'll see. I am also still going to be on the look out for Pam and Michael to have some sort of thing. Pam hates Michael so much that it just seems like it could be a possibility.
Speaking of habitually turning on NBC, I have been pretty pleased with 30 Rock recently. It's very silly and it's very witty. It's grown on me so much. At first, I always felt like it was "meh" to alright. But now that I'm getting to know these characters, I'm finding myself in stitches at some of the things they say. Let's hope for the best and that it continues to get good. I like having good TV shows to watch.
Just to round out the Thursday night lineup, let's talk about the League. Funny? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. Good? I don't know. I've been enjoying it, but that may just be because I'm almost looking forward to the life these people have: where marriage has become boring so that I'm forced to look to sports to entertain me. Let's have some hope for the new shows yea?
I suppose one show that I won't have to hope is good is Glee. Call me gay. Call me what you want, but I adore this show. Watching it is just so much fun. The characters are relatable, the problems are complex and the musical numbers are a joy. Never has a show's name been so appropriately given. I missed it when the World Series was on. Yankees and Phillies? No thank you. Could you get two more boring teams to play each other?
Let's do Movies!!!!!!
Saw this movie. or about half of it. I liked it. I was tired and went to bed which is why I didn't finish it. I'm not too upset. It was enjoyable, but whatever. I have other things to do than watch the rest of it. Like write this blog?
Oh man. This movie was fuuuuun. It was The Day After Tomorrow except the Earth imploded. Great theatrics, amazing visuals and just implausible enough to be entertaining. I mean come one, how could a movie where a limo jumps through a building and comes out the other side at just the right time is going to be great.
This movie is dark. I've tried to watch it so many times, and I still haven't even succeeded. I started watching it the other day but got distracted by other things. I need to watch the rest. The gravestone saying "The Salt of The Earth" just left me in stitches.
I enjoyed The Men Who Stare At Goats. It was funny and smart and well acted. Plus, having Ewen McGreggor, George Clooney, and Jeff Bridges helps immensely.
