Nip/Tuck Season 4: Big Balls

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 09:44:35 -0700

"Maybe the reason all your relationships fail is because you are already taken". The words of Christian's shrink, referring to Christian's love for his partner/best friend/idol Sean.

In an article Ryan Murphy stated the the show was inspired by his desire to display a loving heterosexual relationship between two men. I do not believe the psychiatrist's comments were meant to imply that Christian is gay. Rather that their male bond and love is so strong he is unable to commit to anyone else in that capacity.

So most of the episode focused on putting Christian in awkward sexually tense situations with Sean and watching him squirm. Ranging from, Sean demanding Christian to hold his testicles to Christian lovingly embracing his drunk/emotional/crying partner. Of course Christian got his obligatory emotionally vapid sex, first by joining in on some quality mother/daughter bonding and next with the aforementioned shrink. Who saw that one coming.

Next week, Christian confronts Kimber.

No More Bravo

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 20:08:31 -0700

I just transferred to a new school and apparently the cable provider in this remote location does not offer BRAVO. What the fuck. So no more Project Runway for me. But with the fall tv season about to start up I will manage. September 5th is the only date that really matters now.

Laguna Beach 3: Rocky Bullwinkle

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 19:52:30 -0700

Apparently Cameron got really hot over the summer, wow I would hate to see how he looked last year. Now he's playing the most popular girl in high school, kyndra, and the most gullible girl in laguna, jessica. Yes jessica, alex 1, alex tall, and taylor all make appearances.

The narrator this year is tessa, former best friend of popular girl kyndra, hmm sounds familar. Kyndra complies with mtv producers and invites tess to the barbequuue. Tess brings her friend Rocky Bullwinkle and the two "cliques" stare each other down from opposite sides of the pool.

Looks like this season will focus on the cameron love triangle/square/octagon.

QotD: Better than the original?

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 17:00:06 -0700

This is almost too obvious of an answer but Gary Jules' cover of Mad World is beautiful and perfectly placed in Donnie Darko. I've even read an interview with someone from Tears for Fears saying how much they love the Jules cover and how they consider that the definitive version of the song.

Entourage: Mad Dog

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 21:45:32 -0700

Who knew E had such a dark gangbanger(not sex) past. Apparently, the old E refereed to as "mad dog" cracked skulls american history x style when someone so much as tried to steal his lunch money. Tonight, the refined E we have come to know is pushed to his limit by returning guest star Seth Green. Restraint prevails until the final 30 seconds of the episode when seth delicately refers to repeated cum shots he's landed on sloan's face. At this point Drama storms into the club and reclaims his manhood by starting a brawl with Seth and his posse.

Overall the episode was disappointing. The Drama side plot was ridiculous and way overdone. The Seth Green appearance was good but wasted. Seemed to be mostly a filler episode and with only three remaining I'm not sure where the season is going. I guess the main arc is Ari's new agency and getting that off the ground. The other seasons have ended with Vince about to shoot a movie so I'm not sure if this will take a new direction or he will actually start working again.

By the way, E and seth seem pretty well matched for a fight, unless of course it's a full moon.

QotD: Reality TV Star

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:34:14 -0700

If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?

Finally a QotD for me to answer. I'm gonna go with an old school mtv dating show choice, well not that old school(but it's not on anymore so it counts). Taildaters, I always used to watch that show and think about how much fun it would be. Now I never even wanted to be the person on the date, rather I would choose to be one of the friends in the van sending dirty messages to my friend. I mean you get to sit back and laugh at your friend and chill with the girls hot friends.

Close second would be top chef, too bad I can't cook.

The Hills: Wolfman

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 20:39:39 -0700

I semi-watched the last two episodes of the Hills tonight.

Not surprised at all at the decision LC made. She has to be the least interesting character I've ever watched on tv. She does not seem to be passionate about anything, obviously not towards her career and I feel like Jason is just convienent and nice for the time being. She was a terrible friend to heidi and I don't even feel like commenting on her laguna days.

Note to Jordan: All the reasons Heidi gave you were a cover. Obviously, she was frightened by your progression from normal looking dude to scary werewolf creature. Get a fucking haircut man.

If this show comes back for another season(I seriously doubt it will) I hope LC is dead or missing.

Project Runway: Kayne's a snitch

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 20:27:14 -0700

So the rumors were true. Keith was the FIRST person ever asked to leave PR. He manipulated, cheated, pissed off the other designers, and made fabulous clothing. Sorry to see him go but obviously there was no choice, the integrity of project runway was at stake.

Angela, after creating nothing but drama and ugly clothes in the previous challenges manages to win. I must say that her outfit did look great although I liked Jeff and Allison's(the Keith memorial outfit) a bit more. Clearly, having two sane people on her team helped to balance her eccentricism to create a wearable piece.

For the losers, Robert's was boring, Bonnie's was hideous. Did not really care which one left.

Side note: Bradley is weird. Funny(especially to himself) but weird.

Ginger Snaps

nobody@vox.com(DiscoDrew) — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 19:56:42 -0700

Ginger Snaps

Just did a movie search on vox for Ginger Snaps out of curiosity and got no results. It's a wonderful(maybe not the best adjective for a horror film) Canadian werewolf movie. Although the whole werewolf thing is really just a metaphor for the change into womanhood, comparing a girl getting her period to turning into a flesh eating hairy monster. I agree, just kidding. Anyway it's a great movie that any horror fan should check out. And if you have already seen it then let me know what you thought.
