Rules of Engagement

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Due to metacritic’s across the board negative reviews of this show, I almost did not watch it…but thanks to crappy repeat-o-rama Monday night TV, I got to watch an episode.

Patrick Warburton hasn’t been this funny since Seinfeld.  The chemistry among the characters is top-notch.

Of course, it’s stupid to judge the whole series by just watching a single episode.  I’ll update this post as soon as I download and watch a few more episodes.

‘Haven’t Seen Last Week’s Episode of “Heroes?”

Monday, January 29th, 2007

…Fret not, you didn’t miss anything.

Somebody is screwing up in the production of “Heroes.”  Has anyone noticed how stupid slow the pacing of this series?  Case in point: have you noticed how many episodes did the slogan “Save the cheerleader, save the world” span?  It should have been just one or two, but I think I counted 1,027 episodes.  Yeah, that’s how freaking slow the damn storyline is.

And speaking of storyline: Oh my effing gawd.  How many sub-plots do we need?  Too many characters…Imagine, there are two bald skinny black dude in the story; the only difference is their accent.  Each and one of the characters has a story and has their own stupid agenda…most of them are not inter-connected.  The sub-plots will probably end up related in the end, but at this point I couldn’t care any less.

NBC is screwing up the only thing that is supposed to save them their abysmal viewership.  I’m not watching that crap anymore.

Super-Hiro

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

You know that guy from that little-known TV series “Heroes” who plays the Japanese geek who can time-travel? 

Yeah.  Him. 

Did you know that he’s a programmer by day?  No, not some bozo who “designs software” and passes himself as a programmer even though he couldn’t write an app that prints “Hello, World” to save his own skin; I mean, he’s a hard-core programmer dude.  He has written multiple applications and plug-ins for special effects software at ILM (the special effects studio founded by some guy named George Lucas…’doesn’t ring a bell to me…).  Those liquid metal effects for T2?  He did that.  Same with those water effects for “The Perfect Storm” and “Pirates of the Carribean.” 

And with his newfound fame, he still keeps his day job.  Imagine that.

Yeah, I know.  What a prick.  I hate him, too.

Dexter

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

If you haven’t been watching this series, you’re missing out a lot.  It’s simply the best series this year, bar none. 

And speaking of TV, “Prison Break” is quickly becoming the victim of mainstream programming…the plotline is becoming stupider every episode…Come on, Teabag loses his hand again?? 

“House” is still ok, I guess…not as great as it used to…but the new recurring character is awesome. 

“Heroes?”  eehhh…there’s too many subplots already…the “Save the cheerleader, save the world” tagline is getting tackier every minute.

If There’s One TV Series…

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

…you have to watch this season, it’s “Dexter.”  The best way I could describe it: It’s a cross between “Se7en” and “Sin City” and sprinkled with “CSI: Miami” without David Caruso’s somewhat-cheesy acting.

Heroes

This seems to be like “Smallville”…but done correctly. I just hope they don’t end up wearing costumes in the succeeding episodes.

Family Guy

Monday, June 26th, 2006

I was watching an episode of Family Guy tonight and in one particular scene, they poked fun at “The Da Vinci Code.” And I especially liked the part when Lois said:

“Oh, and the chapters are only about 2 pages long, so you feel real smart when you read it.”

That was awesome.
