Finally, Getting Back to Good.
Soooo. Haven't done this in a while. Well, I am doing completely nothing, so while everyone else has things they need to get up early for, I do not. I've always had trouble sleeping, and now I just don't want to go to bed. So when everyone leaves me all by my one and lonely, I watch tv! Yay :P. So, first, I watched Samurai Jack. You remember that, that really old tv show, same time as Powerpuff girls. I had never watched it before. So now it's on Boomerang at 11 every night. I've got a bunch recorded but haven't watched many yet. But I want to. That thing is really interesting. I LOVE the animation. It's hilarious! I actually like Jack, he's all stoic and moral. Though he manages to lose his shirt and/or hairtie every epiosode. But the most interesting is the dialogue. There is none. I've never seen such a silent cartoon. But it doesn't need it. It's still fun. Plus Mako does Aku. I love Mako. I love it, but I can't understand how it kept small people's attention. I saw your bother watching it, Dean. And no offense, but he didn't strike me as having a very long attention span. Anyway, unexpectedly good show.
Speaking of Boomerang, they play reeeeeaaaalllly old shows. Like, Birdman. I only saw half of that. It was horrible. XD But totally worth it for the "This looks like a job for BIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDMAAANN MAN man". Still cracks me up. And the original Scooby Doo. That thing fascinates me. I watched an episode the other day that ran before the Beatles broke up. And it's still going strong. There have been so many wanna-bes. Same formula, but none picked up. What is it about Scooby Doo that kept it going? I watched the new made-for-tv movie last month. The one about the beginning of the Mystery gang. Fred wasn't even blonde. Still bugs me. But I actually liked their Shaggy. He did good with the voice. It was Shaggy with his voice changing. Highschool Shaggy. That poor guy. Listening to him hurt my throat. The only thing is, since the What's New Scooby Doo, Shaggy's only role is comic relief. He's clutsy, dumb, and completely food oriented. While Shaggy liked food, he knew his limits. And he was intelligent. He used to be the one who figured out the small things, and he had common sense. And a mild temper. He used to be kinda cool. Velma was more clutzy and Daphne's the one who fell into all the traps. Even Fred used to say so. And Fred got a lot smaller and younger. He used to be more musclebound but still had dignity. And the thing with him and Daphne was always there but unsaid. That they kept, but not so well. There were episodes where Fred would split them up with him having the girls. Shaggy actually walked away muttering that "of course Fred gets the girls" under his breath. They had more demension back then.
I analyze everything. Sorry. I could go on and on about Scooby. But I won't. My mom started watching another crime show. =.=. but I can actually say that I like this one. I hate crime shows. They're repetitive, have horribly developed, unlikable characters, the absolute worst dialogue, and they fill up their time, (cause they never have enough story to fill it) with flashing lights, slow motion, close up replays of every possible way the person might have died, and everything's about sex and everyone turns out to be bi, gay, incestual, and all of the above. Not to mention, the layers are also doing the detective's job, while they do the cop's job, while they do the CSI's job, and everyone has a working knowledge of the most advanced lab work, which they all have in their offices including things that don't even exist. And they all know the chemical, sedimentary, or bio make up of everything on earth.
Anyway, this one is Criminal Minds. It's not cops or lawyers, it's profilers. That is cool. They focus on their job and only their job. You focus on saving living people rather then digging around in dead ones. And human behavior. That's always been fascinating. If I didn't have such an empathy problem, I might seriously consider Profiler as a proffession. And it had Mandy Patinkin. I like him. I've liked him since Inigo Montoya. He's good. Always gets the wise, paternal (if slightly akward at it), thoughtful roles. Like Rube (DLM). And then there's Ried. I know he's the typical favorite character, but the guy does such a good job with him. Usually his type of character would be unrealistic, obnoxious, and kinda bland and stereotypical. But Ried's awesome. He's so cute and moral.
Somehow, realistic. All the characters are. They have developement and dimension. Good show. Not flawless. Still solving crimes. But the best I've seen. And my mother watches many many.
And TCM. Best station ever! This month is Bogie month.8) Lots of Humphry. I was watching for hours on Wednesday. It was his really early films, including The Petrified Forest. So he was the bad guy in all of them. Evidently, for the longest time people thought he could only do bad Duke Mantee types (Petrified Forest). They never even dreamed he could pull off a leading man or love interest. He was almost another Peter Lorre. But then they put him in Casablanca. Voila. Though, I must admit, not my favorite of his. That girl was just dumb and both guys deserved better. But I watched three in a row. And even though he was a villain, he was still a sympathetic character. You liked him. They were all kinda sad. First, it was sad and then he died, then he was really sad and then he died. Then him and Edward G. Robinson were having a bad time and then they both died. Good movies, though. Some things I recomend for anyone to see:
Secret Agent (Peter Lorre Hitchcock); All Through The Night (Bogie, Lorre); A Slight Case of Murder (Edward G. Robinson); I Was A Fugitive From a Chain Gang (Paul Muni?); M (Lorre); The Petrified Forest (Bogie, lots of talking); Arsenic and Old Lace(Lorre, Cary Grant). Dean, you might like Bogie in Maltese Falcon or the film, Dead End. I'll let you know when I have more.:D
I know. Too much Beatles. But this for the skill just as much, if not more. This is amazing! You've got see it!
End
