What I've been watching
Aug. 15th, 2007 10:28 amLargely a big bunch of SUCK is what I've been watching, unfortunately.
I, Robot was stylish looking, but pretty terrible. It didn't really make much sense. I'm blocking most of it out. I was warned ahead of time that it wasn't good, but I'm always wanting there to be more good (or at least non-sucky) sci-fi out there, so I gave it a chance.
Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer. Luckily, I only paid 50 cents to see this on the big screen at the cheapie theater. If you thought the horrible "science" in the first movie was embarrassing, it was even worse in the second. The animation for the Silver Surfer was pretty cool, but Jessica Alba's makeup and the horrible pseudo-scientific explanations for everything that happened were too much for me.
On the positive side, we're enjoying Season 3 of "News Radio" and Season 3 of "Smallville." I got really sucked into the tail end of Season 2 of Smallville and really liked the "bad Clark" at the beginning of Season 3. And I'm developing a crush on Michael Rosenbaum, though he looks better with no-to-little hair. I googled up some pictures of him with more hair, and he kind of looks like a frat boy.
Also enjoyable was "The Aristocrats." If you are easily offended by jokes involving scat, bestiality and incest, you'll want to skip it. I found it highly hilarious and pretty interesting. Yes, the film is mostly the same joke told 100 times in different ways, but it also gives you insight into how the minds of various comedians work: Gilbert Gotfried as a dirty-mouth street preacher, Bob Saget's Tourette-like spew of filth, the direction women comedians like Whoopi Goldberg went with the joke, and so on.
