Re: “Blind Item: What Incredibly Popular Band Might be Reuniting Tonight?”
if only i hung out on myspace all day every day, maybe i'd get to find out more about secret shows. if only i were cool.
Re: “Is Dollhouse Already Doomed?”
the show is too rushed. maybe our protagonist can handle a new adventure plotline every day, but the show tries to cram a week or more of that life into 45 minutes. i still have no idea whose kid got kidnapped or why i should care in episode one. in episode two, someone seems to have killed about 97% of the dollhouse staff, but all the show gives us of that is brief flashes of slashed bodies. who... why... huh? as yet, i don't care, which is convenient, as none of the survivors care, either.
the whedon repartee is not there yet. the guy who is supposed to be the witty nerd comes across more as a smug mac hipster. climbing the railing instead of taking the stairs? oh you iconoclast you.
i'm worried that whedon plans to do some sort of memento thing where nothing is in order. i suppose that as with memento, where memory loss is central, that's a valid choice. but unless it's done well, making the audience piece the plot together into its linear form usually just comes across to me as lazy and disrespectful. mr. whedon, please don't make me feel stupid for googling how it all fits together from some loser who spent a month watching the shows over and over to figure it all out. "lost" exists already, and its pretentious fans' constant musing about what the fuck is going on on a show they've been watching for several years is just pathetic.
Re: “The Masked Biker Speaks!”
i had a dude come out of that baptist church with the neon sign on salmon to help me with a flat once. giving a christians a good name, that one was.
Re: “A Cat Is All Wet”
sad, bobby. resigned. tired of fighting.
i don't like people who wash their cats. fastidiousness is why cats lick themselves like every fifteen seconds, and if you sniff 'em, they smell great, like cat spit, which is how cats are supposed to smell, not like anti-bacterial dial, you neat freak lunatics trying to make MRSA that much more deadly.
still, i laughed all the way through this video.
i'm not A Cat or NOT A CAT, but i am off my meds. so what. it's a recession and who can afford that shit.
Re: “Army Suicides on the Rise; "Terrifying"”
i imagine romantic relationship troubles arising from distance+raging unemployment don't make for a great return to the u.s.a. for kids who were already in a situation such that their best option at age 18 or 22 was the joining the military under george fucking goddamn bush.
Re: “Leonard: "Realized He Had Once Again Been Less Than Truthful With Me..."”
leonard represents me pretty well, actually. i'm also pissed that even when adams was "coming clean", he was still leaving out making out with a 17-year-old.
don't mistake your readiness to forgive any transgression adams commits for widespread public support. continued anger is not limited to people who stand to benefit and raging homophobes. i consider myself a liberal, but i don't like being lied to, i don't like public officials breaking the law, and i don't like old men having sex with teenagers. i don't think the left wants to tie itself very tightly to sam adams. he betrayed us and he's a creep.
Re: “Adams: Staying. "I will work harder than I ever have in my life."”
well handled. i'm still cool with a recall if enough people want it, but this is good for the time being.
