This post is going to make me sound like the biggest wuss, but oh well, shove it!
So, every once and awhile I just want to accompany a bad day (or a miserable one or whatever) with a sad movie to just bring me down even further. It is my “company” in “Misery loves company”.
Awhile back, I made a list of movies that I found incredibly (or mildly) sad. Below is my list (missing many I am sure) in no particular order.
The other day, Maria Sue Chapman, was killed in her driveway, accidentally, by her older brother’s SUV. Maria Sue was 5 years old and the adopted daughter of Steven Curtis Chapman.
The following song was written for Maria Sue and her sister. My heart breaks for the entire family.
So, now that Idol is over, I have moved on to my other (almost equal) guilty pleasure, also known as SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!
As with Idol, I am not a huge fan of the audition process as a whole. I like when they get down to the actual competition. But, naturally, I still watch because that is what I do; I watch entirely too much television.
So last night’s episode was enjoyable. There was the return of “Sex” (stage name). He is the most awkward, overly confident nasty mess of a person I have seen in awhile. This is his third season (out of four) to audition and to be laughed at. I think Nigel was right when he told him that he must just like to see himself on television because he can’t truly believe he is good. Sex responded to Mia that he has “many, many, many years of experience with professional choreographers.” Yeah, okay buddy.
The highlight of last night’s two hour episode was the final guy. Robert Muraine. Uh, his style is pop-locking or something, but this kid is sick. He moves in ways that a normal human with bones should not be able to move. I was amazed the entire way through. I hope that he can do some choreography cause it would be pretty cool to see him in the Top 20.
So what, I watch A Shot at Love II (with Tila Tequila). The train wreck that she is and the collection of douches and lipstick lesbians makes me laugh each week and in this case, almost vomit.
Being season two, this year Tila is REALLY looking for love, not just pretending like last year. So they brought in boys and girls to try and help this “bi-sexual” Asian myspace wonder figure out who she wants to love for the rest of her life. The lesbians hate the guys and the guys are just horny for Tila’s body. She wouldn’t look too bad if you got rid of her tattoos and put a nice shopping bag over her head (paper of course, she might suffocate on plastic).
So this week… two douches were fighting. One douche insulted the other. The insulted douche’s (Jay) buddy (Chad) in the house got a little riled up and pissed and wanted to fight the insulter douche (Bo). Bo didn’t want anything to do with the fight but went out in the hallway to see what all the ruckus was about. Words fly back and forth until Chad decides it might be a good idea to headbutt Bo and then throw a few punches. Bo takes it and just stands there. Blood is dripping from his chin, yet no reaction. Girls are freaking out.
Chad gets escorted out of the house. Bo heads to bathroom with the girls only to spit out the largest wad of almost black blood. Turns out the headbutt and punches split his gums/jaw between his two middle bottom teeth. Like SPLIT it in half. Big ol’ space. Um, ouch.
Turns out Bo needs to either get his jaw wired shut or have a metal plate inserted. He chose the metal plate so that he could still have “A Shot at Love” with Tila. Now, that’s just love…
Was that not the most moving hour of HOUSE you have ever seen? I honestly think that this year’s season finale (part 2) was the best episode of HOUSE that I have ever seen. I know a few months ago I made that statement with the episode “Frozen” featuring Mira Sorvino, but now I must bump that one down a notch to make room for “Wilson’s Heart”.
I hated CTB, which I think was Fox’s goal by introducing her, but by the end of this episode I was crushed. I think this was major emotional overload for me. Every character and actor played a big part in this successful episode. I honestly don’t know what to say besides I loved it and it has me still thinking about it over 12 hours later.
I was reading other blogs about it and I found one that thinks Anne Dudek (Amber aka CTB) should get a nomination for an Emmy for this episode alone. I would support that solely based on the death bed scene with Wilson.
So, I want to say that I am somewhat surprised to hear COOK come out of Seacrest’s mouth tonight, but I don’t think I really am. It really was anyone’s game. Both were deserving. What I am surprised about is the fact that Archuleta had 12 million less votes than Cook.
My thoughts before and now is that Cook shouldn’t have won American Idol for his own best interests. He will most likely be forced into a “mold” and possibly put out a lame, less-artistic, less-personal album due to a contract with 19 Entertainment. Had he come in second, he would most likely have much more creative freedom and do what he wants. But we will see.
Archuleta, on the other hand, needed to win American Idol. I think he may have a tougher time doing well without the win. He doesn’t have the creativity that David Cook has to be able to pull off a “less-guided” debut album.
I wish them both the best. I’m pretty sure that I’ll enjoy both of the debut albums probably already in the works. Fingers are crossed for a Syesha album in the future too.
I would have immediately started spelling what I (along with everyone else) heard. Is it my imagination or did the orator say it wrong the first time?
I had a dream that gas was $11.00!
