The Island.....A Must SEE

I went to the movies for the first time in about 3 months this weekend. I had to choose my movie wisely. I decided on a movie called The Island. Man, did I make a great pick. I don't know if it was because I went by myself, or that I hadn't seen a movie in so long or what. But I LOVED this movie. It is a must see. I don't care what the critics say, it was a great flick. I never really cared what the critics said before, but now I really shun their nonsense opinions. Go see this movie. If you liked the Matrix, Logan's Run, or any other futuristic Sci-Fi thriller, you have to see The Island. Ewan, couldn't be any more convincing, Johansson couldn't be any more cute and innocent, but still quite vicious when she has to be. A true master piece. I give it a thumbs up. Let me know what you think.

What Does the 'M' in MTV Stand For?

This is a rhetorical question. I know the M in Mtv is suppose to stand for music. Does Mtv even play music any more or have they played to the lowest common denominator yet again!? I can't remember the last time I saw an actual music video on Mtv. What happened to the days when you were sure to see a twisted Nirvana video or a crappy glam band waving their blow dried hair around every time you turned on the tube?

Where Mtv is concerned I don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg. Does Mtv cut across the gain and that is why they are hip, or do they only try to show the stuff that they think is already cool? I believe it is the latter of the two when ever I watch their every growing array of reality shows. Someone, please tell me, is Laguna Beach a reality show or just a spoiled teeny bopping show with soap opera type acting? I caught and episode of "That 70's House", come on, are you serious....They are really scraping to fill air time now. "That 70's House" is a reality show that puts 10 late teen early twenties people in an old Brady Bunch style house and everything they do, eat, say, wear, has to be 70's. If they are not "70's" enough they get kicked out, the winner gets a poke in the eye or something.
I even saw a show called, "date my mom" or something like that. If you haven't seen this show make it a point to do so. It is so staged it is embarrassing to watch. You will laugh out loud at this obviously choreographed "reality" show. When I watched it I seriously got an image in my head of a crazy haired director behind the camera saying "ok, now ask the mom if her daughter wears a thong." It truly made me cringe.

And Viva La Bam.... More like Viva La Bad Acting and Writing. There is no way this is a true reality show. It is more staged than my fifth grade play.

My point is, MTV should change its name or logo or something else. They should be the reality network for wanna-be hip, drama driven, do anything to be cool, "give into peer pressure because everyone is doing it", people out there.

Ok, I know what you are saying "you make fun of it but you are obviously watching it!" why do I patronize a channel that is so fake?......I guess something inside me still thinks I may see a music video if I watch long enough.
