Sep. 6th, 2011 11:11 pmJust finished watching Megamind on HBO, which was cute and sort of funny. Not at all what I expected. Best line?
Megamind: you're the good guy, I'm the villain.
Titan: No, I want to be a villain. We can be villains together, it's a lot more fun.
Megamind: But if you're the villain, who will I fight? Who will protect the world? This is NOT how it is supposed to be! There can't be two villains!
LOL! After killing Metro (the superhero), Megamind discovered he was bored and needed to create a new superhero to fight. OOps. It felt like a spoof of Superman, to be honest, which I can appreciate.
Rainy, nasty day. And I still have this annoying fly buzzing about my apartment which I can't seem to get rid of. Right now it keeps buzzing around my ears and face. I keep slapping at it, but all I'm hitting is myself. May have to buy a fly swatter. Work day was spent rescheduling things and listening to an oral presentation/ Q&A on signal and track design. Yes, to add to the insane amount of weird data in my brain, I now know how to design a pocket track and the difference between an categorical environmental assessment and an environmental analysis study, as well as what is involved in mapping wetlands. I really should get around to indexing all this information - would make life less confusing. Or just delete the files I no longer use...thinking probably all that Buffy and X-men knowledge can go.
EW Mag got delivered, somewhat mangled since the mailman had it sitting out in the rain in his mailbag for about an hour (I know because I passed him on the street and was sorely tempted to ask for my mail right there and then, instead of waiting for the delivery - they walk down the street with a little mail cart - not a mail truck. Life in the city... but as luck would have it, it is still readable and apparently the ads protected it for the most part.). The mag is basically wall to wall info on all the new tv series, along with ads and a fold out map of start dates. Wicked cool. But I can't help but feel sorry for the professional television critics who have to watch all these shows and review them. I suppose I should follow their advice, but the truth is - I seldom agree with their taste. I don't know if I would agree with it more - if I watched all the shows like they did. Most likely not. People's taste varies. Even the critics tastes vary. There is no such thing as consensus when it comes to choosing tv shows, movies, books and art.
Ken Tucker for example thinks the five best picks of the new season are: ( Tv Critic's top Five Picks )
Opening the EW magazing...I felt overwhelmed by how many tv shows there are. Makes me almost nostalgic for the good old days when we just had six networks. You remember? Fox, WB, UPN, ABC, NBC, and CBS. With occasional programming popping up on Masterpiece Theater on PBS, and on HBO, but that was it? [ETC: back in the 1990s...not back in ancient times like you know the 1970s!]Now? It's just nutty. Who can keep up? Plus we have the webseries..I've seen trailers for a new series appearing on Macy.com called Wendy. I kid you not.
