Coming soon - A blog on whether or not remakes are better than the original version. I will look at two or three test cases.

Monday, Monday
Mood:
a-ok
Now Playing: Other little foibles....
Topic: Reality Shows
Skating With Celebrities: The show was as I predicted, mostly filler. They had them all come back to skate a little for the audience. The short program was on tonight, the free skate will be on the last program.
Kristy Swanson is in the lead score-wise right now. That can always change on Thursday. Thankfully that will mean I will never See Dave Coulier in a dress ever again.
Speaking of things I didn't want to see: I present another reason I might give the WWE (Raw anyway, I got two wrestling games I can toy with) the heave ho. Vince McMahon's "kiss my heiney" club. Through a lot of convoluted baloney someone was supposed to kiss his heiney. (they used the three lettered term on Raw) And I don't mean this as a cute turn of phrase, there was going to be kissing going on. Thank god more stupid, convoluted baloney happened and things changed. Well not much. The person who came in contact with said McMahons personal quarters is probably going to wash their face for the rest of their life.
Note to "Mr McMahon" (cause I'm pretty sure he doesn't do that in "real life") See previous note to Mick Jagger about his granny arms. You are 60. 60!!! We do not want to see your pasty fanny ever again on our television screen. Course then again since it seems you don't want to do anything the fans actually want, I'm afraid this isn't the last we will see of it. Do it again, and people will change the channel and never look back.
I'll be back Thursday to further comment on Skating with Celebrities and the season finale. I must go rinse my eyes out with lye now.

Some Favorite Episodes Of Mine
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: Must Watch Episodes
Topic: List-O-Mania
I was going to give a list of TV shows I love, but that will be sometime in the future. For the time being however, I am going to give a list of individual episodes that are favorites of mine. This is in no particular order. You may disagree and have your own list, no problem, we all have different tastes!
Chicago Hope- Quarantine: The formula is simple, a group of doctors are put into isolation because they may or may not have contracted a contagious disease from a patient. The group includes a married couple on the brink of divorce, the hospital lothario, a harried "temporary" Chief Of Staff and one doctor who some think is two steps shy of being committed. Its a wonderful episode, and sadly watching it reminds one of how bad the show gets in the later seasons (musical episode anyone?).
Buffy The Vampire Slayer- Hush: Some very creepy beings steal the voices of the populace, the "Scooby gang" try to get them back. The majority of this episode is silent, so the characters are forced to other ways to communicate. I wasn't a big Buffy fan, but when the show was good, as in this episode, it was excellent.
Star Trek Deep Space Nine- Trials and Tribble-ations: In this episode some of the Deep Space Nine crew are thrown back in time and end up in the timeline of the original Star Trek Crew - The episode "Trouble with Tribbles" to be exact. They interact with characters from an episode from thirty years ago without making it seem corny or stupid. A classic DS9 episode.
Angel - Hero: I love Angel, so there is a lot of episodes I love, including "You're Welcome", and "Smile Time" (aka the "Angel is turned into a puppet" episode). The best one is this early outing in the first season. Half-Demon, Half-Human Doyle makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends and his fellow demons. Sadly a few years later Glenn Quinn passed away, making this episode all the more poignant.
Friends - The One With The Prom Video: Rachel finds out via an old video that Ross has had feelings for her for a long time. And thus the "Ross and Rachel" roller coaster begins.
NCIS - Meat Puzzle: A gruesome episode where Dr Donald "Ducky" Mallard discovers that several bodies...actually several pieces of bodies, that were found are related to a court case he was part of years ago. Bad news? He may be next.
CSI - The Hunger Artist: Like with Angel, there are a lot of episodes of this show I like, including "Unfriendly Skies" and "Justice Is Served". This episode, along with another case, deals with a woman found dead in a shopping cart and a homeless woman who may be involved.
X-Files - Clyde Bruckmans Final Repose: Clyde Bruckman (guest star Peter Boyle) is a man the agents encounter who can predict how someone is going to die, but can't use this ability to really help find the murderer.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - I don't have any particular fave, cause it changes every day, but the last one I watched was "Pod People". Other favorites include: "Hercules Unchained" "The Creeping Terror" and the list goes on.
24- Season Three: Season three, or day three, was the "day" about the virus and the hotel and oh a lot of things.
Coming soon: The flip side - the bad episodes.

Two to go!
Mood:
down
Now Playing: Song of the Day - "Another One Bites The Dust"
Topic: Reality Shows
Skating With Celebrities: Typical! The pair that I most wanted to win on the show (Bruce and Tai) are out because of low scores. Now I have to choose between Kristy Swanson and Jillian Barberie. There is something about Jillian I don't like and I don't think I've liked since I heard she might have skating experience. That doesn't seem fair. I know, since when are reality shows fair? Leave me alone. Since I am forced to choose between the two that are still competing, I will pick Swanson and partner. One good thing about this: At least there wasn't an episode of padding this week like I thought, but that doesn't mean that there still won't be one!

As promised, a review.
Mood:
not sure
Now Playing: Couple of movies
Topic: Review Time
Final Destination 3: This was pretty good. None of the stars from the second one are in it though and the only tie to the series is that the events of parts one and two are mentioned in the story. Some of the deaths were slightly over the top, I thought, but at least they didn't linger over them five minutes after it was over (making us look at people after their gruesome accident). I give it a b-. Will there be a part four? I think the success or failure of this movie will determine that for sure.
Rating: B-. Don't bring anyone really squeamish.
First Daughter: First Daughter stars Katie Holmes as the daughter of the President of the United States (Michael Keaton) It was your typical "I want to be myself and not known as the presidents daughter" story. It is pretty formulaic. It also feels like an extra long Dawsons Creek episode.
Rating: C. Its a good time killer, but not much else. Ms Holmes acting range goes from "cute" to "not cute".

Weird On The Half Shell.
Mood:
spacey
Now Playing: It's not what you think, its much worse!
Topic: Quiz
So took a quiz at this site, and you can too, to see how weird I am. I'm not normal (anyone who knows me would say "this is new?") and I'm not very weird either. Huh.
You Are 50% Weird |
![]() Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it! |
