RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Monday, February 20th, and Thursday, February 23rd:
- Holy crap! Newt Gingrich's third and current wife looks like one of those replica robots from the movie "Stepford Wives."
-Speaking of Gingrich, I enjoy how much he kisses Ron Paul's ass in every Republican presidential debate, believing that he just might get part of the libertarian vote despite the fact that he's the biggest Washington insider out of all four remaining candidates.
- So I finally got around to watching "The Help" a few days back. I liked the movie better when it was called "The Blind Side," or better yet, "Driving Miss Daisy." In other words, it's just another one of those "white people solving black people's problems and everything is all better" films that were well acted but lacking in a good story that it needed to manipulate its audience with various sentimental moments to fill that void. And considering how it the highest grossing film out of all these Best Picture nominees and nominated for a bunch of awards, that manipulation worked to perfection.
- I love how the Jeremy Lin story has just completely downplayed how magnificent the Miami Heat (and especially Lebron James) have been playing. If this had been happening same time last year with the team winning 8 out of their last 9, it would have been the spotlight of the league for sure. But since everyone is swept in the quest of making their own Lin puns, it's barely talked about in the national stage. Considering how their every move was analyzed last season, though, this is probably just what the team desires at the moment.
- Man, "Archer" is having just a spectacular season three! Outside of maybe the Dodge spy car episode from two weeks ago, I can't think of any episode since the show "Heart of Archness" trilogy back in the early fall that was anything but in the A to B+ range, led largely by the stellar scripts by Adam Reed, who is just on a roll creatively. Glad that it's now officially getting renewed for a fourth season.
- I don't care if it's premiering during March Madness, or that's it's going back to the same timeslot that it's been doing badly in the ratings. The important thing is that NBC has finally, at long last, released "Community" from hiatus purgatory and given it a return date (on March 15th) and will be back to air the rest of season three uninterrupted for twelve straight weeks. And, for me, that's all that matters at this point.
-The fact that Obama, who is against SuperPACs, is secretly trying to get money into his own SuperPAC doesn't bother me. The rules of this race allow such a thing, and the Republicans are exploiting the Citizens United ruling like potheads exploit the "medicinal marijuana" loophole. In another words, this election is a gun fight, and the president is allowed to have his gun.
More to come on Monday. Enjoy the rest of your workweek!
