Tim Minear was executive producer and writer on ‘Firefly’, ‘Angel’, ‘Wonderfalls’, and other fine television shows. Check it out: I found out last week that he reads my blog.
True story. He even left a comment on my post about ‘Firefly’, which kinda made me lose bladder control for a second. We […]
First, since almost all my posts about TV shows now are about actual quality shows as opposed to Real Housewhores of Orange County or The View, I had to change my category label from “You are watching bad TV” to the mindblowingly clever label “Television”. I just can’t be stopped, my brain is THAT […]
Because I’m pretty sure I ovulated at least once per episode when I marathon-watched the series last weekend and am now quite possibly pregnant even though the only man in my life is on the other side of the country wearing body armor by day and sleeping on a cot in a barracks by night. […]
It is with deep shame that I write this post, because tonight I realized something once and for all: American Idol is a really stupid show. And yet I continue to watch it, and worse, to blog about it. I have very little to be proud of right now.
The theme was “Rock […]
I watched that movie “Cloverfield” over the weekend because it’s supposed to be good, right?
Only if you aren’t the kind of person who wants to punch 20-something hipsters in the face, as a general rule. I am that kind of person, so this movie was problematic for me.
In case you […]
Christ in the bathtub! There is a geek contigent here that I never anticipated. 147 comments and going on the Battlestar Galactica thread. All right then. Let’s geek out.
I’m on the 11th episode, I think, “Colonial Day.” They just had an election for vice president because that terrorist/freedom fighter dude […]
And now I shall bravely destroy all the TV cred I earned the other day talking about sci-fi, by reminding everyone that I compulsively watch one of the most obnoxious shows of all time.
It has come to the point in this season where I can no longer in good conscience recommend that anyone […]
Once in a while, I like to write things on my blog that will make a certain number of people decide they hate me or that I have serious emotional issues. It usually involves television shows; for example, we are all familiar with the controversy surrounding my decision to not only watch but to […]
Content warning! American Idol post in-ur-face time!
So last night was Andrew Lloyd Webber Night for reasons I will never, ever understand. I hate Broadway/show-tune/musical-theater-type music. I loathe and detest and revile it, always have and always will, don’t care what you say. So basically I hated every performance of […]
Now is the time of the week American Idol-Haters should be used to by now. Scroll away, haters. I love you anyway.
It was Mariah Carey night, and I have to tell you: I always thought I hated her so hard. Not her voice or music, I happen to own a […]
As usual, I feel I must precede the following American Idol post with a halfhearted apology. Sorry. I blog about ONE crappy television show and people get more hostile than they do in the middle of discussions about abortion and Jesus. Actually, I kinda dig the abuse. Hey at least I […]
So do I, and thus I loved last night’s American Idol.
You know what’s funny? There is more controversy and conflict between me, you, and all of you with each other, regarding this show and my posts about it than there is about my posts on abortion and religion. American Idol, you either love […]
The Idol Haters are just going to have to put up with this because I can’t stop mainlining this stuff directly into my veins.
1. Those idiot dancing-clown group intro songs they do on the results shows should be illegal. Half of the contestants look like they’d rather be getting a colonoscopy […]
So here’s the thing about American Idol posts: half of you are so into it that you pee your pants a little, but the other half of you want to punch me in the face. Well tough shit. I’m writing about that show because it gives me deep personal satisfaction to do so. […]
Okay. I have just gorged myself on about 50 different articles and opinion pieces about Obama’s “race speech” from the other day, and have read the transcript of said speech. And all I have to say is that you would never know, based on the amount of coverage the race issue gets, that […]
