I must be the coldest, mean-hearted person out there! I did not shed a single tear during The Notebook. Like there were no scenes that made me even want to sniffle. I don't understand all these stories I've been hearing about people sniffling throughout the film or girls re-doing their makeup after the movie because they cried their mascara off... Am I just emotion-less? Am I like Chandler in that episode of Friends where he couldn't cry? I just didn't feel touched by that movie at all. Monday, June 28, 2004
Wow. Haven't posted here in SO long. I haven't been watching TV for the length of time that I haven't posted. Not even kidding. Work sucks. BUT.. a few things of note to catch up on: 1. North Shore is NOT this summer's OC! Whoever started that hype is totally dissing The OC. North Shore is like a cheap Baywatch meets Las Vegas show with bad acting and really really terrible writing. And is it just me or does Brooke Burns have a really big mouth? You know when girls have braces and it sorta makes their lips look puffy? Yeah... 2. Canadian Idol - three words: Ben Mulroney SUCKS! He is SO annoying. Ryan Seacrest knew he wasn't cool and played it to his advantage. Ben Mulroney doesn't know he's uncool and thinks he's the greatest thing on TV. And how did we vote in 2 white guys with curly blond hair, Carnie Wilson and the fat black guy from Goodburger?! Oh Canada indeed! 3. What Not to Wear is airing episodes of people from Toronto! Not that I forgot they filmed in New York and went around Toronto looking for them or anything... yes... 4. For Love or Money is back.. I love that show... I swear they should change the title to For Love OF Money though... 5. Who Wants to Marry my Dad is back too but this time the kids aren't hot or remotely good looking! What's the point in watching then?! Pssh... And I'm out. Friday, June 11, 2004
Great episode of "What Not to Wear" tonight! I tried watching it with my mom but she kept trying to switch over to the Ronald Reagan funeral. Pssh! As if the funeral ceremony of a former American president and peacemaker can be more important than changing the fashion fortunes of a sad-sack individual! Pssh! But on What Not to Wear, I love three things: 1. When people cry b/c they have such a disgusting wardrobe and hate the way they feel about themselves 2. When people buy colourful shoes and skirts 3. When people have outgoing personalities and aren't afraid to show off their newfound fashion sense and their sense of humour 4. Clinton Tonight's episode fulfilled all four things. Awesome. Okay.. how did "The Elf who talks to chickens," Randeep and Chris Farley's gay brother makes it into the top 32 on Canadian Idol? Something is seriously wrong with our judges if this is the best we have to offer. Granted, the Asian Nation is representing, judging by the number of Mikey Bustos flipinos we have this year. Let's hope Canada votes them in instead of the chicken farmer. That guy changed the lyrics to Celine Dion's "Power of Love" to "You're my lady and I am your man." That is just... so... retarded. As is he. Wednesday, June 09, 2004
Started watching "For Love or Money 3" - I know, I know, reality TV trash, blah blah blah. But did you hear about this one? The women think it's the same premise - choose the guy or a million bucks. Only the twist is (and of course in all reality shows there is the (cue deep voiced announcer man here) "BIG TWIST...") the girls will either get one million dollars or just one single dollar! Ouch. If they choose the guy, they supposedly (roll eyes now) will forfeit the money, but everyone smart reality TV watcher knows that choosing the guy over money will ultimately get you some cash! On a related note, I am close to broke again. Please cast For Love or Money 4 in Canada, please cast For Love or Money 4 in Canada...! Monday, June 07, 2004
Oh no J Lo! Could it be?! I knew there was something fishy about the quicky-marriage. Rumour has it that J. Lo is preggers with Marc's baby! That would explain the rush to get to the altar... At least the big tummy would even out the big booty right? Sunday, June 06, 2004
Oh my god. Holy hormones J. Lo and Marc Anthony! 5 months after breaking up with Ben Affleck and less than a week (a WEEK!) after Marc Anthony divorced his wife (a former Miss Universe no less!), Jen and Marc have gotten married. Mizz Lopez wastes no time eh?! (You'll remember that she was engaged to Ben before her divorced to ex-husband #2 Chris Judd was finalized!) Read about it HERE Tuesday, June 01, 2004
The best part of Miss Universe is the very beginning when all the contestants state their name, age and country they're representing. The names and accents alone were enough to send my brother and I into crazy fits of laughter tonight. Where else will you meet somehow named Telma de Jesus Esperanca Sonhi and have her say her name like she means it? Where else will you find somehow actually skinnier than Miss Ethiopia? (Heck, Miss Ethiopia? Doesn't that country have more important things to worry about? Like food?) Where else would you find somehow who lists her hobbies as "observing people?" You just know she's a gossip bitch. And did anyone see how they kept repeating "Miss Georgia" and "Miss Greece" and "Miss Georgia" and "Miss Greece" for like 3 times? For what it's worth, I'm glad Miss Australia won, although I was rooting for Paraguay myself. Who cares if she can't speak a word of English? Did you see her dress?! And Daisy Fuentes - I just wanna say that I've always liked Miss Daisy! And... my "idol" withdrawl is officially fixed with the return of the less captivating, less talented yet still oddly watchable Canadian Idol! Don't even make me tell you the story of our little side trip back from Montreal to Ryan Malcolm's family-run restaurant in Amherstview, Ontario... Let's just say his sister served us... and there were "Ryan Malcolm fan books" involved... |
