Howdy
SO my summer is just me staying in New Orleans and working in a local coffee shop. It's been nice so far. My rent is a little steep but the money I"m making offsets that! Big Big Smiles there. THe only downside is that I have to go to coffee shops to use the internet now because the house I'm renting does not have internet. C'est la vie.
SO I have a question. Is an international airdate really relevant? I don't really feel it is. I'm sorry but it just doesn't add anything to the guide in my opinion... So do I have to accept it? I am not sure.. and I thought I might ask here.
Everyone should go see Speed Racer the movie. I saw it and it was enertaining as well a movie sshould be. Yes the visual style is different but that's most of the fun! It's a nice little movie.
Hmm I don't know what else to say. I suppose that's all. I'm ready for Burn Notice, Monk, and Psych to be back. I'm also interested in watching the ABC Family original show Middle Man it looks like it could be fun.
Darn you Joss Whedon!
I am officially a Whedonhead or whatever fans of Whedon call themselves.. because Whedonhead is far far too creepy.
About two months ago, I watched the entire series of Firefly in about 2 1/2 weeks while going to school and working... It was that addicting.. I loved it, and I then watched the movie when I found a 2 hour block.. Again amazing! I have recently started watching Buffy again.. I watched most of the series when it originally aired, minus the episodes after it moved to UPN. Everyone remember UPN? Man that was a while ago... lol. Buffy is quite amazing, I really had forgotten that. I mean it was just a greatshow.. I'm glad I got the idea to rewatch it...
and I suppose once I get to the point in the show where Angel spins off on his own I'll start to work on that show.. It's just ridiculous how amazing these shows can be.. I mean I kind of figured I wouldn't like them now that I have quote unquote grown up but amazingly I think I love them more.. I'm currently on the 3rd season of Buffy.
I don't know if any of you have ever heard (read seen) me refer to myself as a "comic book nerd who doesn't read comics" but I have really gotten into comics as of late. I've read almost all of Ultimate Spiderman.. I've read everything that has been published in book form, I have read almost all of Ultimate X-men I'm missing couple of books.. I started on the new Blue Beetle last night, and I recently read Identity Crisis which is a great book. So now that I have proved my full decension in to nerdness.. I'll stop!
I need to make a recommendation of a book that I am reading right now. This is for everyone who enjoys superheroes in any form. It is a book called Devil's Cape. It's set in a fictional city across the lake from New Orleans (which is where I am currently residing) but in this universe superheros and villians exist and in fact have played a role in history creating their own cities. It's pretty awesome so far, and I think everyone should pick up a copy if they get chance.
Hello, Old Friend
Its really good to see you once again
SO... It's been a year since I wrote blog, I figured today was a good a day as any to write another... lol
So let's see what's been going on in my life? I'm back in school and working. So that's probably the main reason I haven't been around in the capacity I used to be. I'm still on here at least every other day or so.. Looking up Trivia and quotes usually and checking my mod queue. I lost a guide recently so I don't get as many submissions.
Hmm So let's see what TV have I been watching since the last time I updated? Well this summer I really got into Burn Notice on USA. When it comes out on DVD I recommend the show to anyone who likes the spy genre to any degree.. Well unless you're just a Bond fan, this probably won't interest you.
Then let's see.. This fall, I watched Bionic Woman (i'm a little ticked that it won't be coming back.. but ce la vie, especially after the writers strike.) Reaper (which is awesome, and I'm really hoping it gets renewed soon, it was doing really well pre-strike, I would hate for this show to be a casualty.) The Big Bang Theory (This show is fantastic... I love it, especially the geek in me..) I've also been keeping up with the old favorites... There are some shows that I plan to watch on DVD but with my schedule I just wasn't able to watch them as they aired... As of now, I have yet to actually watch a ONe tree Hill from this season, I"ve recorded them all and I will watch them eventually because I reallly need to know what's happened in their lives over 4 years.. lol.
Some shows I've gotten into recently... The Office (I watched the entire series over the past couple of months, it's hilarious and i'm a little uncertain why no one has told me that I must watch this before this summer), House (Dear god, House is my hero.. I've only seen seasons 1&2 and a couple from season 4), and I've been watching Buffy because I watched it when it originally aired up until it left the WB and I've always wanted to rewatch the series to see if it was as good as I remember it.
Well that's it for now.. Hopefully it won't be a year before I'm back here again.
The Remix Edition..
So I've been working, reading and watching movies. It's a good time, I really hate this part of the year because all my shows are on break for weeks, or can't make up their minds if they want to show new episodes or reruns.. It makes it hard to keep up with when you don't want to waste recording space on Reruns.
I watched Criminal Intent and SVU last night for this first time since last year. They were okay, but that's the problem, they're just "okay". I'm not impressed like I used to be.
I got a free copy of the movie Fifty Pills a few days ago and watched it yesterday. Everyone should check it out if you love teenage romp comedy. It was good times. Kristen Bell is hot as always, and Eddie Kaye Thomas is hilarious! Granted both are simply supporting characters but the movie is still great.
Now why is my blog entitled remix edition, you may be wondering, or perhaps by this point you've forgotten and are now curious again because I brought it up... Well your answer lies in the next sentence... I've been downloading some rather strange remixes off the internet.
I love Amy Winehouse. While searching to found out if the new CD that is the same price with different album art is a different CD or just a change in packaging, I found a website that calls her terrible. I was shocked and appalled. This girl has a great voice, even if you don't dig her st y l e she has a great voice. It's very Motown-ish. It's great, but back to my story, the blog called her terrible but apparently some DJ named Hot Chip has remixed her single "Rehab". While I don't think I like the song as much in the remix, I will give the DJ his props it's interesting and fun. Feel free to stream the music from this site Here. you can also listen to "You Kow I'm No Good" featuring Ghostface Killa which is a hidden track on the album.
So there is also another strange and weird remix that I came across today.. It's Fall Out Boy's song "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" remixed by none other than the college dropout himself- Kanye West. It's pretty interesting. I think I like the original better but this definitely gives a new feel to Mr. Stump's emotional voice... he would do good to volunteer himself to be featured on an R&B album. You can make your own decision about the song Here.
So now for the featured Recommendation of the blog:
"But Gilmoreism didn't you just make two recommendations?"
Good Question.. No I didn't, I simply mentioned a few things that I've seen or heard lately, I gave you no reason to why you should go out and get it which is really what recommending is all about.
I am going to recommend a really good movie: The Boondock Saints. It's a great movie about two Irish brothers who accidentally become righteous hit men. It's an interesting twist on your standard Mafia movie. The brother's relationship is a bit homoerotic but nonetheless It's a great little movie. You have Sean Patrick Flannery, Willem Dafoe, and how could I forget the hardest (working) man in show business- Ron Jeremy! Be warned there is lots of language in this movie. It's a great action movie with a message.
With that I leave you with a prayer.
And shepherds we shall be
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiriti Sancti
See the movie and the prayer will make sense.. lol.
A Prima Donna from the gutter..
Which brings us to the purpose of this blog. I'm bringing you a new feature.. It's Gilmoreism Recommends! I will post at least one blog a week with either a movie, CD, or book you should check out. I'm required to do stuff like this for work all the time and I don't really have a problem with it I actually enjoy it...
So what shall I choose for my first recommend? It's a duo! It's a book and a movie. There is a reason they are together...
The Movie is Bubba Ho-Tep. It stars Bruce Campbell as an old Elvis/ Elvis impersonator. He is in a rest home in the country in Texas. A Mummy is sucking the souls of the residents. The fact that it stars Bruce Campbell should tell you that this movie is beautifully B.. It's got some great lines. It's funny and fun.
My second recommend is Make Love!* *The Bruce Campbell Way but none other than the best movie actor ever.. As... Bruce Campbell. (I was typing Ash just for the people who didn't get that... if you don't know who Ash is... Please kill yourself, and then go immediately to rent Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness. Please don't really kill yourself, because you haven't really lived if you haven't seen at least Army of Darkness.)[Wow that aside was really really long wasn't it? I've got to watch that, I mean if this were a speech c la ss people would be yelling digression left and right, but I mean I guess I didn't really know what I wanted to talk about until I started typing and what I was typing wasn't all that interesting so I found something more interesting in my head.... A cookie to anyone who understands my second digression] This book is hilarious. I've read half of it, and it's already great. I plan on picking up his memoirs next If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Star. It's a quick read and delightfully witty..
So those are my recommends for the blog... I have a CD lined up that I think everyone who is a Motown music should be here to read. It's a great new CD that everyone should have a listen too... but more about that later....
So my job is going all right. I'm getting stiffed on hours but usually there are people who want a day off and my workaholic self is there to pick up the slack. I enjoy going to work. Is that strange?
So Heroes break is killing me I want to see the ending dang it!
I've pretty much dropped SVU and CI as the last few episodes just couldn't hold my interest at all... I'll probably see them eventually on USA but maybe not we'll see...
I'm sad that The C L A S S will probably not be returning...
Now I'm depressed lol....
I'm gonna go read some Atlas Shrugged and pass out.
