Yeah, definetly. But even in retrospect I'm still more than just a little bit sad that they didn't really gave it a chance. Before Six Feet Under became, essentially, misery porn in it's later seasons, this show was truly amazing. And my parents watched some early episodes of The Sopranos and liked it, but dubbed in…

Hah, I tried Six Feet Under on my old folks, and it did not went well. The theme of parental death juxtaposed with the sort of HBOish crassness and bold, daringly unlikebale characters was just too much for them, so it hat to be switched off mid-pilot followed by uncomfortable silence.

Yeah, I might check that one out, too. I've had some Buffalo Grass vodka lately, which was just great on it's own, very sharp and aromatic in contrast to the usual blandness of the spirit standing on it's own.
I'm not really one for savoury cocktails; I usually stick to sweet-and-tart ones like Tequilla Sunrise or…

Reminded me that I've never had a Bloody Mary in my entire life. Gotta change that this weekend.

Up to this day I wonder what people in the US get from those overstuffed sandwiches. Google image search "Wurstbrot". Then you'll be shown the exact right amount of cold cuts that is appropriate for a proper sandwich, or, more correctly, a proper Wurstbrot. It's sourdough, butter and wurst. Or schinken. Or roast beef.…

Four episodes in. It's fun. Even more so with the knowledge of what to expect from it. I know, I know, the misanthropy will get pretty unbearable towards the end, but it's fun to watch the way Ryan Murphy writes all his heterosexual couples with such barely veiled hatred. And Dilly McDillicutty's character is…

Allright, so I'm doing this now: I'll go and watch Murder House again, right after writing up this post and assembling marihuana, to smoke, like a cigarette. I can not begin to tell how much I despise Ryan Murphy, but boy, do I need some bare man ass and rubberman right now. I can't really say why, besides simple…

Never. And I've played my fair share of shit games. Back in the day, when I was a kid, I had a Game Boy and an SNES, now rotting away in my parents attic. When the time came, twice or maybe thrice a year to choose a new game, not rarely I chose poorly and ended up with utter trash like "Mario Is Missing" or "Nigel…

That comment might have come across way more rambling than intended…

I like the fact that dollar bills and credit cards are tussed up with all the other christmas ornaments and gifts. The message might be much more subtler than what these graphic designers were told to attempt. The Duckface, alas, is unequivocally epic, as is the candy cane he wields like a treasured legendary item…

"Yeah, let's be totally laid back and 45+ years old and celebrate christmas on two location sets in my car and in the main hall of my mansion. I'm Kirk Cameron and I look like Hugh Lauries slightly younger, significantly more evangelical brother. Shenanigans will be had! Either in my car or in the main hall!…

It _is_ pretentious, and so much more. It's genuinely insane, terribly written, uproariously stupid and back to back wonderful.
It's like the dream journal of a sixteen year old hardcore cocaine addict. No one would pay their good money to WATCH this, so it's even more wonderful this film got financed, filmed and the…

He also openly likes "The Dome", which, regardless of him being the creator of that shows source material, renders him instantly incompetent in the field of television critique.

Ugh. After having just seen the finale of "The Honourable Woman", it's depressing just to _think_ about the turd that was (?) Tyrant. Seriously, The Honourable Woman is all sorts of awesome and actually goes out of it's way to say some RELEVANT THINGS about RELEVANT STUFF. The cold open of this one episode, where the…

Agree with that. S01 True Blood was almost audacious and daring, delightfully sex-positive and most of all fun. So was Season 2. But at that point already you knew you were in for some wacky, campy soap-opera-stuff, and yes, not the eerily semi-documentary style micro-vignettes of deep-fried southern darkness the…

Rachel Dratch has to cash in some day. One of showbiz' greatest injustices is the way her career turned out after SNL. The recast on 30 Rock alone… I respect her so much for not being bitter about it and guest-starring in mutiple guest roles from the pilot on. The recast for Jenna was of course the absolutely right…

Oh darn it. I knew I should have just nonchalantly skip his rank when I stopped and thought for quite a few seconds trying (and failing) to remember.

I saw Welcome To Welville around the same time. One of the few things I remember was how weirdly fascinated I was by the movies dual obsession with cornflakes and masturbation. And that it was really overtly long and hard to tell who the protagonist or what the main plot was and how Kellogg himself fit in all of this,…

MacGyver aged horribly, especially in the 90s seasons (and TV movies…) where in some episodes he suddenly was some kind of urban social worker, helping troubled youths to stay away from drugs and fisticuffs.
