geebsStarted reading Scott Pilgrim. Its a pretty cool read, I'm enjoying it so far. I heard they're doing a movie version with Scott Pilgrim being played by Michael Cera. I'm not sure if I can see that. I mean, Arrested Development, Juno, Superbad, he's dork-dorky and unconfident (I don't know how he is in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, I haven't seen it yet). Scott Pilgrim seems a little cooler than that. But I can see MEW as Ramona Waters.
TV Commentary:
My Name is Earl- Is it me, or did Joan Van Ark look kinda scary at times in this ep? Remember in the 80s when people made Joan of Arc/Joan Van Ark jokes?
****
What the, on the Office, Michael and Pam head to Nashua, and Holly's not even there?! I guess they couldn't get Amy Ryan or something? But it was funny to see Michael break down if only to see Pam forced to do Michael's presentation, impressions and bad jokes and all. But wait, does that mean she came up with the insulting nicknames mnemonics herself this time? I mean, I don't think Michael has time before hand to come up with these things, I thought he was doing it on the fly?

30 Rock- Hmm, between this and Privileged, what's with these shows having Catholic folks going to church on Wednesday and Saturday nights? Isn't going to several hours of church multiple days a week a Protestant thing? I mean, its an hour of church on Sunday, plus any holy days of obligation. Some people, like my mom and aunts, will go to a morning mass daily, but I never heard of a Wednesday night mass (on a non-holy day of obligation). And people going on Saturday usually do so because they can't make it on Sunday. But on Privileged, when Luis took Sage to Saturday night mass, they made it look like some fancy affair, with a potluck dinner and wot-not, but its just like Sunday mass, only on Saturday night! I guess Elisa made Jack go because St. Valentine is a saint, but its not a holy day of obligation or anything. And what's with being able to take confession during mass?! There aren't enough priests nowadays for that! Churchs set aside blocks for confession, you can't just go in and confess! Ida know, TV just makes church look a lot more severe and time-consuming than it actually is in real life!
And what was that a recipe for that Liz replaced water with cheddar cheese? Stew?!
Heh, and what a koinky-dink, the blind redhead chick (yes, I'm linking to chickipedia when I can for less famous chyx so people can know who I'm talking about. Too bad the only pic on her entry is blah, since I thought she did look kinda cute in the ep) played Kenneth's wife on "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Or was that intentional casting then? Heh, I totally missed the whole "Oh, look at the time joke" at first. And it was funny how she felt Kenneth's chin, then she started feeling around her own chin, like she was totally confused how chins should be. The whole Jenna having to do a Michael Mcdonald impression was also funny. Heh, that was "What a Fool Believes", right?
*****
On Burn Notice, I'm trying to remember why Michael and Bly butted heads before. I mean, I remember how Mike blackmailed him, but he's obviously not one of Carla's people. Was it that he's just a government employee, and since the burn notice is real enough, he was just trying to enforce it? Was it that he wanted Michael to stop freelancing? In any case, I guess he is a good guy- he didn't know Michael froze Romo's gun, so when he took the rap for trying to cut through the wall, he thought he was gonna die.
But is it me, or did it seem kinda hammy at the end? Like the boat guy didn't seem believable. And then Michael's story was a little over the top. And after Romo shot his partners, why didn't he shoot Michael at that point also?
