my wretched dmv shenanigans continue apace; look, i just want new license plates and a new title for my car, okay? all this crap with not being open during posted hours and requiring fourteen proofs of residence (isn't my NORTH CAROLINA DRIVER'S LICENSE enough, bitches?) is starting to get really fucking old.
and i still don't have new plates for my goddamned car.
now, see, this is an urban legend that never scared me. and maybe it should have; i spent an awful lot of time in high school parking out at the local reservoir with my ex tc, but no. doesn't really freak me out.
this show is getting grosser, though. every week the body count goes up and the victims are killed in gorier and gorier ways. plus not to mention the fact that if the writers don't cough up a strong, interesting recurring female characters, i'm going to punch someone in the face.
but OTHERWISE! this episode was. well, i like sam kissing the girl despite the fact that he's still all fucked up over jessica, and i loved dean digging up the body and burning it, but really. i don't know. this episode moved me less than say, last week.
on the other hand.
they're really giving each other a whole lot of THOSE looks. THAT KIND OF BROTHERS.
plus the effect when the hook man melted was really fucking cool. so.
michael doesn't like the movie meet the parents because the whole thing is so emotionally traumatizing; i'm watching scrubs s1 on dvd right now and it's sometimes the same feeling. sometimes watching jd is just so unbelievably painful that i have to stop the dvd and watch something else. but the thing that scrubs has going for it that meet the parents doesn't is that jd has as many successes as he has failures. there's a sweetness to scrubs that goes with the awkward cringe-worthy moments.
plus, having watched most of last season, watching the first season is ... weird. i know how it turns out, you know? but at the same time, there have already been a couple of oh, so that's where that came from moments. so that's nice.
and really, there's no bad about scrubs, pretty much ever. sometimes i wish there was more good scrubs fic out there, but the fact of the matter is that bad scrubs fic is just about the worst fic ever, so i'd rather have tiny portions of excellent fic than a whole lot of mediocre fic.
you know, i keep watching superteen out of some misguided loyalty to something, but i might have to stop, because james marsters with his natural hair color and his natural accent makes me laugh so hard i get the hiccups. and in the trailers, when he said "there's no such thing as vampires" in that stupid american accent that keeps wanting to be spike's accent, i nearly peed myself.
so, uh, i kind of love tv. and movies. kind of a lot. you may have noticed?
and it's not i love tv in a mind-rotting entertainment sort of way. i mean, i do love tv that way. but i also love it in a meta viewer statistics sort of way. i think there's a lot of tv that bad tv but incredible entertainment (superteen, or supernatural) and lots of tv that's great tv but only so-so entertainment and then the rare show that's great tv and great entertainment (arrested development; early simpsons; etc). i mean, between the tivo and netflix and michael taping things from hbo for me, i'm watching, these days, at least one episode of at least 16 shows a week.
that's a lot of time spent watching tv. and then i spend a lot of time talking about what i watch on tv after i've watched whatever it is.
i maybe should have been a media studies major. i maybe should have parlayed this into something useful.
but the thing is: i love seeing what shows people go crazy for, even if i don't watch them myself (survivor, i'm looking at you). i love seeing what shows people what even though they know they're genuinely terrible shows. i love seeing tv executives try to create new things. i love seeing people talk about tv.
hi. i'm min, and i have an addiction to television. and in the next couple of weeks, netflix is going to send me the adventures of pete and pete, homicide s6, nip/tuck s1, dead like me s2 and stargate: atlants s1. maybe, ah, maybe not quite in that order. *sheepish*
