The hell?

Damn you, tv networks! Fringe's Kirk Acevedo gets fired, My Name is Earl gets canceled (Reaper too, but I saw that coming *sigh), but other stuff that is only so-so or total drivel gets renewed. Argh! And on a side note with no judgments as to present quality because I haven't seen this show in years, but when is Smallville going to end? Because there is such a thing as shows just ending versus getting canceled. I got the impression that it was supposed to be prequel to the Lex vs Superman conflict, not the conflict itself. Not that I know a damn thing about it. It's just weird that this show has been around since I was in high school. High school! That was eight years ago! I don't know why, but it makes me feel really old.

On another note, I have yet to see Star Trek. This is sad, but I keep missing the first showing which is much cheaper. However, I did get to watch another movie about a gay restaurant owner who falls for this extremely cute football coach and has to deal with the kids he never knew in the meantime. I absolutely loved it. I'm really tempted to go see it again even though it's in the expensive theatre. It's a Spanish movie, called Chef's Special in English (Fuera de Carta). If it appears around your neck of the woods, you should definitely check it out. Allow me to entice you with a little picture.




In yet other news, ohmygod is it hot here. And it's not really that hot. Just mid 80s, but it feels really unbearable. I'm used to wearing shot sleeves in high 60s now. Man, can I not live here anymore. My body is set to London temperature now. And soon it'll be set to Chicago temperature. Brrr! Although hearing the coquies (cute, little frogs we have here) and hearing the rain fall through the foliage is so refreshing.

Reaper's getting cancelled?! Nooooo! Jeez, first Pushing Daisies and The Middleman, now Reaper and Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. You're killing me, TV! *weeps*

Smallville.. I've thought that show was dead and gone sooo many times, but somehow it's still around. It can't go on for too much longer, though. Seriously. I mean, he doesn't even live in Smallville anymore- shouldn't they at least change the name to Metropolis? Heh, maybe they'll start up a new show with that title and just keep on rolling... *weeps some more*

I haven't gotten around to seeing Star Trek a second time. It.. well, it feels like a movie you should see with other people, and, as of this moment, I don't really have anyone to go with. Yeah. I suck. Fuera de Carta sounds adorable, though I'd be shocked to see it in any theater around here.

Yeah, I saw it on Ask Ausellio. *cries* My poor show. So much better than that Top Model tripe. And I was just getting interested in Sarah Connor too. Maybe I'll still watch the two seasons there are and curse the networks during the last episode.

It should be called Metropolis. Honestly, it's just false advertising by now.

It's so rare for me to see movies with people that I don't mind. It's usually the big summer blockbusters that I do see with people since we all make more of an effort to reverse them for mass viewing. But I suspect everyone here has seen it by now. Even my dad saw it and he waits until the second week to see anything.

*sigh* Well, hopefully they'll manage to finish the arc in a somewhat satisfying way, not leave us with a cliffhanger. SCC had a lot of potential, it really did. Especially the last few episodes. Without giving anything away, I was really interested in finding out where they were going with the season finale. Oh well, I guess.

LOL, no kidding.

I really should make the effort to invite someone- if only to reconnect with some high school friends so I have something to do. That's my main issue.

I think the producers might have seen this as a possibility, so hopefully they won't leave cliffies anywhere. But it will still be sad to see it end.

I'm wondering if my friends have seen Fuera de Carta yet. That's a nice excuse to go see it again. I really liked that movie.

If they manage to free Sam's soul, I'll be happy. If they get Steve and Tony back together too, I'll be ecstatic.

Movies are a great social activity, in that sitting in a big dark room doesn't require very much in the way of social activity. That's why I prefer it. ;)

Oh, that would be so wonderful. I'm really, really hoping it happens.

I do love the discussions afterward, though, especially when it's a geeky movie and everyone's comparing it to the original source material.
