Where did I "bash" American Idol? It supplies a demand.
Anyway, anyone who attributes ratings to quality is a bit of numbskull if you ask me. Yeah, Transformers 3 is fucking awesome - look at its box office! High five, bro! Whoop! Hey... um, do you remember where I parked the pickup?

Now that The Walking Dead has finished, the vast majority of its audience will move onto American Idle.

Not sure if a lot of people outside the US were familiar with Avatar: The Last Airbender, the anime style cartoon, not the shitty movie. There is a follow up show The Legend of Korra that just had it's first two episodes premiered online (legally). Pretty good stuff so far, can't wait to get into the show.

The girl I work with surprised me with the info that she's a fan of the cartoon series, and she insists I give it a go. It's on Netflix and I did watch some of the first episode very late one night a few weeks ago. I was terribly tired, but I was struck by how... crude the animation was. I'm not sure I could get past that. But yeah, apparently the mythos itself is pretty good.

Leonard Nimoy on this weeks Big Bang Theory. I figure it's just a voice only. Stephen Hawkings will be on later this seasons. He's just creepy.

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

What I didn't care for was the Yahoo news article that mentioned two of Stephen Hawking's previous TV appearances as being The Simpsons and Futurama.
Um, those were frikkin' cartoons! They didn't even need him to show up. All they would need would be a Speak'n'Spell.
Now, if some news agency wants to mention "Descent, Part I," then I'd be impressed. Until then...

After long months of not watching anything, I decided to pick the next series I want to commit myself to. Today I bought two seasons of Carnivale (which from what I understand is the whole thing). It's a blind buy - I've never seen any clip of that so it's going to be entirely fresh.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Anyone seen the episode from Modern Family with Edward Norton as the bass player from Spandau Balllet? That was the show's funniest moment (and probably the first time I had to laugh).
Too bad that I can't find the clip on youtube.

Watched the first two episodes of Carnivale. It's very laid back pace-wise. But that's ok. But for now what's keeping me watching is the visual side. This show looks very cinematic. This, and its overall feel. Intriguing.

Loved that episode! But I wouldn't rank it as the funniest. Modern Family is hilarious and its had several moments that showed the premise in its prime.
Does anyone here watch Community? The show is absolutely hilarious, arguably my favourite comedy at the moment with all its great meta-humour and such. The last episode was great!

That's because there are a lot more thick-as-pig-shit people watching tv than there are those with taste.
Now that The Walking Dead has finished, the vast majority of its audience will move onto American Idle.

Looking at those ratings makes me wonder how long it'll take it to surpass The Walking Dead's.
With this and The Hobbit, it could be a really great year for fantasy fans.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

The bullshit sexposition is the only thing which spoils it. They waste precious runtime on that titillating (for teenage boys) boobs and arse nonsense, it's embarrassing really. Other than that though, GoT is fuckin' awesome.
Imagine if after three long movies, Frodo entered Mount Doom with the Ring, only to be met by the Witchking, who abruptly slays the silly little noble Hobbit right before Sam's gormless eyes, before returning the Ring to Him. Gandalf and company left up shit creek without a paddle scratching their beleaguered heads, and that's Game of Thrones.

Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

What's interesting is that sex is noticeably absent from the books.
I'm almost done with the first season of Carnivale. It is really good. Takes its time to warm up, though.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Well I am reading book 5 and it seems Martin must have thought his novels look pale in comparison with the TV series and has added a good deal more of sex.What's interesting is that sex is noticeably absent from the books.

Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream.

It's not like he needs any of that in there...
