RANDOM THOUGHTS:
I'm glad that I ended up writing my anti-"The Killing" rant yesterday three hours before the season finale premiered. Those criticisms that I gave would have turned a lot more hostile and a lot more venomous had I decided to give that post more time to write (a.k.a. Sepinwall/Ryan/Simmons-esque hate). But enough about "The Killing"...at least in this paragraph (I'm not promising to stop bashing it for good). Here is this week's fresh, new installment of the RTs! The following were on my mind between Monday, June 13th and Monday, June 20th:
- Kind of a good back-to-back juxtaposition last night as "Game of Thrones" aired their season one finale right before "The Killing" aired their season one finale. Whereas "Game of Thrones" continued to show why it's one of the best shows on television with a fantastic prologue for season two, capped off with its usual slate of great writing, supreme acting and a final scene that has to rank as one of the most epic season-ending moments in TV history (nothing beats a tribe bowing down to a hot, naked woman with three baby dragons standing right on her, after! all!), "The Killing" did the exact, with a menacing season finale that had an ending that just made you want to regret spending 13 hours of your life watching it in the first place (as if those previous ten didn't help).
- You know who I pity the most in this world? The world's second shortest man. Not only is he probably smaller than two footballs and is probably getting constantly mocked at, but that person also doesn't have the title of "World's Smallest Man" to actually feel slightly better of his very short stature.
- If the 5'7'' Tom Cruise can be cast as a 6'5'' tall Jack Reacher, than Ving Rhames can be cast as a character based on Kevin Hart.
- Rebecca Black took down the original "Friday" music video from YouTube?!?! But now what song will I play on the computer twenty-eight times in a row ironically? WHAT?
(Update: Just found out that it's been put back on YouTube as a director's cut. Phew! Should be interesting to see how it compares to the original in dislikes)
- Need a reason to not act like an asshole in public? How about the case of Hermon Raju, who was videotaped on a New York subway train making an ass of herself by yelling to a train conductor and using how more educated she is as an argument point. Now that the video has been released online for public viewing it should probably take a while for her reputation (and job opportunities) to recuperate as right as the criticisms of her personality are.
Apparently, she wasn't never educated in manners. HEY-OH!
- Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on his victory in the U.S. Open! After seeing (and live-blogging) his pitiful demise at The Masters two months earlier, the fact that this talented 22 year old can come back two months later into the next major championship and basically dominate the competition from the first to the last was nothing short of impressive and almost a sign of future dominance to come. Can't wait to see how the rest of his career unfolds!
More to come next Monday! See you soon, and up yours Veena Sud (sorry, sorry, sorry)!
