Argh, its been an annoying day. You know, I think I'm pretty chill about the big things, but as anyone can tell you, it seems its the little things that actually piss me off, and its just been a string of little things since this morning. Maybe its because I don't give the big things their due, so when its the small stuff that goes wrong I just get incredibly pissed.

But I digress. TV Commentary:

Entourage- Interesting season finale. Is it just the season finale, because I heard the show was definitely ending, and that would be a weird and dark way to end things. Or is it one of those things where a site reports a show ending, but all that means is they definitely have a final season coming up, it just isn't the current one? I know Vince is supposed to be the protagonist and all, but is it wrong to feel strangely satisfied about him getting a big comeuppance here?

I mean, he's been a huge dick to all of his friends, who've been nothing but loyal to him. And could he have been a bigger a-hole to Sasha Grey? First, he knew what he was getting into when he started going out with a pr0n star. And frankly, I think its a little insulting that he thought she would quit just because they became an item. Its her career choice, and she likes it. He acts like he's saving her from something she frankly doesn't need or want saving from.

A certain someone thinks I'm crazy for thinking this, but its just sex! Its really no different than if he were to star in some romantic comedy with an ex of his. Its just a different kind of acting! Hell, I'd say pretending to get all romantic with an ex in a movie is worse, because that might spark something back up. A pr0n would just be about raw animal lust and getting off. And I've seen a lot of Sasha's work, so in her specific case, if I were Vince I wouldn't be so worried about that 5-guy gangbang she's doing, she doesn't seem like the type to get too attached just because they're doing what they're doing.

Of course, I'm also apparently a crazy person, or so I'm told, for not wishing ill will on a guy who's with some girl I had a thing for. Okay, if a guy ended up stealing some girl I was madly in love with and we were together, sure, I'd be pretty pissed. But why should I be that angry about a guy getting with a girl I hadn't yet gotten involved with, no matter how much I liked her. I prolly either sucked (which, owel, if I'm not her cup of tea, what can I do) or I snoozed and lost (making it my own damn fault), but overall, hey, at least someone's lucky enough to be with and her and make her happy. I'd be satisfied knowing they were happy, even if I wasn't that person for them. And even in the former case, I'd be pretty upset about the betrayal, but hey, if that's what she wants, if they truly felt that other person was worth throwing away what we had, then c'est la vie! I'd be pretty angry at first, but I'm a pretty forgiving person, I wouldn't hate them forever. The heart wants what the heart wants, and I can't really fault anyone for that.

But I digress. Back to the actual ep. spoiler cut, even though I spoiled stuff already )

Curb Your Enthusiasm- spoiler cut )

Entourage- spoiler cut )

(getting out of the cut to make the segue to the next show work better)

And what's with Meadow kissing Turtle to make Smash's gf jealous? Wouldn't that just raise Turtle's stock in her eyes, and make him more desirable to her, as opposed to scaring her off?!

One Tree Hill- speaking of Smash's gf, is she mixed? Because when they first showed the dailies of her that John from Cincinatti got for Brooke, I totally didn't recognize her and thought it was some ethnic cutie I'd never seen before. But then when she was at the airport I was all, "Wait, that's Smash's gf!" spoiler cut )

Heroes- So, they added Nanny girl as Claire's new college friend, but I don't like how they dress her, it makes her look all gawky. I mean, she looked kinda hot on that one ep of Californication I saw, and these bikini pics from whatever magazine they're from looked kinda hot. spoiler cut )

NCIS- spoiler cut )

At the bookstore today, noticed G.I.Joe Vs Cobra: The Essential Guide. Looking through it, its actually a pretty comprehensive look into both the comic (well, the Marvel/Image/DDP continuity) and cartoon. They kinda fudge the bios by including stuff that happened to characters in both the cartoon and the comic. Like they follow the comic continuity and pair Scarlett and Snake Eyes rather than her and Duke, but they also mention the Shipwreck/Cover Girl relationship from the tail end of the DDP run, while also mentioning his fling with that Mara mermaid chick in the cartoon. Heh, they also mention the Duke/Falcon being half brothers from the cartoon, but also say the exact nature of their connection is unknown, because Duke's family tree doesn't seem to support that, as they aren't half brothers in the comix.

In any case, their Joe roster is pretty comprehensive, I think it does have all the Joes from that one big-ass pic I posted here before. Its odd though, they do a write up on General Rey, but no mention is made of the Phoenix Guard. They also have other DDP/Image-run creations like the Stalls (Barrel-Roll, Bombstrike and Black Out), Wraith, and Firewall, but they don't cover the Plague or Delta, which is odd given the book mentions the Baroness' secret Athena Guard, which only showed up at the very end of the series. They also list the Para Viper amongst the Cobra troopers, which is a figure that only came out last year, so I'm surprised that it is pretty up to date but omits certain things.

Heh, I also paged through a trade paperback covering the origin of Megatron, and I'm amused that they had a scene from his gladiatorial combat days where he fights a robot who looks very much like Cy-Kill of the GoBots.

TV Commentary:

Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead- So, there's only 5 David Tennant eps left, before they change to the new guy, but did this past Christmas special count towards the 5? spoiler cut )

True Blood- Ooh, interesting ep this week. spoiler cut )

Entourage- Bah, these guys lives are so hard! spoiler cut )

Criminal Intent- spoiler cut )

In Plain Sight- spoiler cut )

Random web surfing of the day:

Every Week On Entourage- Amusingly enough, that's actually quite accurate. And the Turtle and Drama impersonations are pretty spot on.

Top 10 Sexiest Animated Women- Foxxy Love as #1?! Really? And I always thought Aeon Flux looked funny. And I never saw what was so great about Jessica Rabbit. But no Erin Esurance?! She's hott! But who makes these lists anyways, there are way hotter looking animated chyx (yes, I realize how pathetic that sounds) than the chyx they picked. Like they didn't cover any Anime, and even if you didn't count that, there are hundreds of other animated series and movies drawn better (and more recent!) than their choices.

But speaking of not-real hot chyx, apparently there's a Nude mod for Zoey in Left 4 Dead. But between this, the nekkid Mona Sax code in Max Payne 2, and the ancient Nude Raider mod, are gamers really desperate to play nekkid chyx killing a bunch of stuff?

The 10 best recut movie trailers- Didn't someone do one of these already?

More Exalted talk: (I know, aren't you sick of it?) cut for geekery )

Ugh, work tomorrow. I shoulda just taken the whole week off, because its a little ridiculous to go in Monday when I'm off starting Tuesday until next Sunday. I mean, working one day between the weekend and the time I took off for Thanksgiving does not make cents!

Oh, the roomie left the TV on HBO during lunch, so I ended up catching 27 Dresses. It was okay. Still haven't seen Made of Honor, PS, I Love You, or Definitely Maybe. (I know, could that list sound any more queer?)

TV Commentary:

24- The prequel to the upcoming season was okay (wait, is it and the beginning of this season stuff filmed before the writer's strike last year?). It was pretty much your typical 24 fare with the same recurring themes. Though given it was a prequel, I wasn't sure if it was going to be in "real time" like the show, but I guess it does just span 2 hours.

True Blood- Yeah, I know you only see her for less than a minute tonight, but Jessica in the pigtails and slutty school girl outfit? HOTT! Of course, the day I don't say a cutie in pigtails and a slutty school girl outfit is HOTT is the day I've been replaced by a doppleganger or a pod person or whatever. I don't know why Eric and Pam find her annoying, I think Jessica would make for a hilarious childe (speaking geek fun-wise, she's exactly the kinda childe Abdul or Tyrell would want! Yeah, I know only [livejournal.com profile] zarathrustra94 and [livejournal.com profile] turdburgler would have an inkling of what I'm talking about). cut for spoilers )

Entourage )

Had the usual suspects over for some unhealthy eating. [livejournal.com profile] phatjoe had passed on to the roomie about this burger he heard about from someone else where instead of buns it had grilled cheese samiches. Now, we're not talking a patty melt here. Its like you take two grilled cheese sandwiches and then put a burger in between them. So the roomie cooked up some grilled cheese sandwiches (bread, butter, two pieces of cheese, either American and Cheddar or American and Pepper Jack), then grilled up some burgers and we tried it. Its pretty good, but truthfully, it doesn't bring anything new to the table, its just like a more unhealthy patty melt. At least having the krispy kreme buns is a distinctly new taste, a sugary sweetness that blends with the burger.

Also, watched Jodhaa Akbar, which [livejournal.com profile] zarathrustra94 and [livejournal.com profile] turdburgler lent me. (Finally got around to watching it yesterday, since I'm so backlogged that I haven't even played Force Unleashed, which C-note lent me weeks ago, but haven't gotten to because I was feeling so miserable on my meds that I could hardly do anything out of work and sleep and watching some TV. But today he also dropped off Assassin's Creed!) Its like an Indian epic movie, though occasionally would break into song. Which is pretty cool. As I've always said, not enough movies have musical numbers. Oh, but one thing about epics that take place in places like India and Southeast Asia- huge battle scenes featuring elephant cavalry! How are war elephants not cool? They're like smaller, living AT-ATs!

In any case, I enjoyed the movie. Though I had to take pause every so often to make sure I knew the political things going on. Although I find it hilarious that they would use the dramatic chipmunk music every so often. Sometimes appropriately, like when a certain someone would betray the main guy. But when they were arranging his marriage to Jodhaa, they're all, "She has a few conditions though!" and they play that music? Yeah, if they didn't marry, there would be huge political ramifications, but I think the music was overly dramatic for the scene.

I guess the other thing I found odd was that when a subordinate was insolent (or rather, they "politely disagreed" with his policies and were only slightly seditious), he would be all, "Go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land!" Well, mebbe its only odd because there were only two kinds of punishments throughout the movie- that, or get dropped off a balcony head first!

At church today, I was sitting next to this blond cutie with a newborn. I'll admit it, even though I'm like old now, I have like Peter Pan syndrome, I'm like stuck in the same mindset I was in my late teens/early twenties. So I'm inclined to think this chick is older than me. But truthfully, she's most likely my age or younger! I mean, when my dad was my age, I was already 5! Yikes!

TV commentary:

Truthfully, I'm actually getting into True Blood the more eps I watch. Their mythology actually isn't too bad. But heh, I never expected to see Jimmy James making out with a dude.

Entourage )

Going out of the cut, since I'm no longer talking about Entourage but about generalities. But yeah, while the Bro code states certain chyx are off limits (well, I say they should be allowed if one asks permission and makes a strong case), it also states thou shall not salt the game of another Bro. Its a blatant violation of the guy code, and totally not cool!

Who dances from sunrise to sunset the same day every year to try and bring back some lost love? And it especially makes no sense if she left because you can't stop dancing! Though I suppose seeing someone like that is still cooler than the living statue. I mean, who's entertained by a living statue? Of course, its not that hard to be cooler than the living statue! Even the didgeridoo (or the "Didge", as Che would call it) is more entertaining!

Entourage )

(out of the cut because it concerns an issue I feel strong about) Oh, and I almost forgot the one thing that really infuriated me about the Entourage ep, when E's on line, and some kids are all, we're cutting in front of you. And he doesn't even care! What the?! That's a throat cuttable offense to me! You don't cut in front of people in line, that's the first step towards total anarchy! There are some rules you don't break, and that's one of them! If people just ignored things like lines, then there would be no order and everything would devolve into chaos! You can't just have everyone walking around willy nilly, how could you have proper distribution of goods and services?!

Oh, after watching Tokyo Drift for the umpteenth time since HBOs been showing it pretty constantly, I thought I recognized the name of the actress who played the Japanese tech girl in Han's little crew. Its Keiko Kitigawa, who played Rei/Sailor Mars in the live action PGSM! Also, watching last night's Cold Case, I was trying to figure out where I had seen the lady playing the widow, but then Tokyo Drift came on, and I was all, "Ah, its the chick who plays Sean's mom!"

Hmm, I think I prefer the version of Zero 7's Destiny showing Sia and that other chick over the rotoscope version. Mainly because I've never gotten rotoscope. I mean, its seems to be used to interesting effect in A Scanner Darkly, but if you're not going to do cool tricks, what's the point? Its like a real image made to look like a drawing, which is only kinda neat. To me, its only really cool if you manipulate things to do effects you can't do in real life.

So Big D brings in his DVD of Tokyo Drift so I could see the extras. There's some interesting stuff on drifting and Japanese culture in there. But since I had just watched Entourage beforehand, it had me thinking. You know how throughout the series, Vince is deciding on projects. While a movie like Tokyo Drift might not be so great for an established actor, ida know, I think it would be totally fun to do, especially for the free drifting lessons and getting to drive all those awesome cars. Its like getting onto one of those action/thriller projects with one of those directors into the "realistic" gunfights like Michael Mann and getting to go to a place like Gunsite or Thunder Ranch and learning CQB and tactical shooting.

Anyways, Entourage commentary: behind the cut )

Owel, I was in a purchasing mood, so ordered some DVDs online. Some of the choices are "old", so I figured they'd be cheaper than normal, and they were. Just to show you what a weird set of tastes I have, here's what I ordered: Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Point Break, You've Got Mail, My Best Friend's Wedding, and the Wedding Planner. That last one, the place didn't have My Best Friend's Wedding in stock, but they did have it bundled with a 2 pack with the Wedding Planner for just $5 more, and I was amused by the latter, so I thought, "what the hell?" Speaking of Matthew Mcconaughey, did I say I finally saw How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days all the way through a few days ago? Or maybe it was a few weeks ago, I'm like totally messed up right now with respect to time.

Speaking of movies I've just seen, just watched Bring It On: All or Nothing. I enjoyed it, I think its not as good as the first, but better than the second. And it definitely had lots of cuties. Heh, and watching the gag reel, I'm reminded of this wwtdd article about Hayden Panettiere licking everything, because on the reel she definitely likes doing things with her tongue. What the?!

And now DC is on, and its that ep where Jen meets that fisherman dude, and I just realized that fisherman dude is Col Sheppard from SGA. Ha, I don't know why that's funny, but it is.

Went to the Varsity for tonight, hadn't been there in a while, actually. It was nice to have a couple of cheeseburgers and chili-dogs, very filling.

Watched Drive tonight. Despite the hinky sounding premise (a secret, underground road race?), I think it actually works, the story is compelling so far. Mal's story (I guess his name is Tully here) is the most interesting one. And heh, his wife is played by Fred. And weird, the cop talking to him in the beginning is Early (aka ADA Robinette from the earlier L&O eps). I just saw that ep of Firefly the other day! The next compelling character I think is Melanie Lynskey's. I guess most people know her from Heavenly Creatures with Kate Winslet, but having not seen that, I always think of her as the not so evil stepsister from Ever After. (I know, I saw Ever After, I'm so lame!) The other racers definitely seem to have monetary reasons for entering. And Mal and Invisigoth (you, know, from that one X-Files ep? I know she's been in tons of other stuff) have an obvious reason for entering. But Wendy? What's her story? more spoilerish talk, under the cut )

Argh, I forgot to look at the credits of Entourage to see who the blonde girl who wasn't Busy Phillips that Turtle and Drama were trying to get with. At first, I thought it was like AJ Cook, but she'd be too busy with Criminal Minds, I guess. Ah, imdb shows its the hooker chick Ronnie found for that Max guy on VM. And wait, the character Cameron Richardson was playing, wasn't she like a waitress or coat check girl or something last season?

Anyways, for giggles and grins, I've been going back through my journal and tagging old posts. Jeez, you know I've been posting in this thing for almost six years now. I checked, and its like over 2000 posts! I kinda got tired of tagging after getting through 2002 though. Heh, I was looking through the life tagged entries. What's under the life tag? I guess mostly stuff actually having to do with going out and doing stuff with people. Geez, we sure used to go to trivia a lot! I'm amused how certain things have changed just in these six years! Marriages, break-ups, geographical re-locations. Heh, I'm also amused to see comments on people who were like nobodies years ago but are now big, like Kate Bosworth and Scarlett Johansson. Oh, and who could forget these crazy happenings?
