Just Like This

I just want to make a public statement. Anne Hathaway should win the Oscar tonight for Rachel Getting Married. I think it was the best movie I've seen all year, including The Dark Knight. Here's the trailer. You know, just in case.

this is a good clip and interview

Who wants to live with you, Ann?

Oxygen is airing my favorite cycle of ANTM today, cycle three. I mean, this is when the show is on the top of its game: Its a low-brow (THOSE BROWNIES!), big name(That lady from the credit card commercials) Shit Show. It kinda makes me sad to watch it, because I know ANTM will never, ever be this good again. Its too self-conscious of its camp to ever get back to that place where we could maybe accept that these girls might make a career for themselves. Also, it makes me want to take a trip to Japan.

Eva is my favorite, by the way.

I started a new blog! This will be my standard blog, and that will be the blog I show people that I might want to work with.

Dead Flowers

This show was canceled.

And it wasn't canceled recently, it was canceled about a month or so ago. The problem with this particular canceled show is that it is still airing new episodes, and will continue to air episodes for a little while longer. And when the show does end, the last episode will end with a cliffhanger.

I'm not going to write about how the loyal viewers should take arms against injustice and write letters and sign petitions (although I'm not telling you to not do that). There are plenty of disgusted protest blogs already out there. I'm also not here to shame you about not watching the show, because I had a hard time skipping ANTM to watch Pushing Daisies as both shows had the unfortunate fate of airing during the same time slot on Wednesday nights.

Instead, I want only to mention how interesting and creative this series was. It was beautifully complicated and highly stylized while still retaining the ability to realize itself emotionally. Anyone who doubts that this show had a soul need only to watch the pilot episode (and pay careful attention to Chuck's casket daydream). I could talk about how mad I am that this show is gone, but I think it's more important to say how happy and proud I am that a show this unusual made it to a basic cable network (On ABC!) and aired during prime time. It gives me a lot of hope as a future TV writer and as current TV watcher.

Snaps!

I asked for a digital camera for Christmas this year, and I'm excited with the prospect of adding photos to this blog. Also, I applied to a really cool internship yesterday and I really want to get it. After I submitted my resume and everything, I got this e-mail that was like, "Due to the volume of applicants we get, we might not be able to contact everyone. We will only follow up this e-mail if we see something in your resume. " A few hours later I got ANOTHER E-MAIL which told me that they had to check my experience to see if I was a proper fit for the company. I don't know what they're looking for, hopefully courses I took in college, and not work experience because I've never really worked in an office environment. AHHHHHHH. I'm so excited that I've been checking my e-mail impulsively. WISH ME SO MUCH LUCK THIS WILL BE THE REALIZATION OF ALL MY DREAMS!

I can't deal with the Sci-Fi Channel

I've just been watching their new reality show Chase for almost an hour now, and I still don't know how I feel about it. Rationality is saying, "IF YOU LIKE THIS SHOW THEN YOU AREN'T A REAL PERSON." but the rest of me is kinda like, "Well, there are worse things to enjoy - remember Mad Mad House?" You know what? I was going to try to write a long post about reality TV and how I love it and how the Sci-Fi Channel is horrible in many ways, but this show is paralyzing. It's almost too stressful to watch.
