QUICK TAKES I have never seen the depths of American stupidity sink so low as people's choices this Presidential Election. If I were to list the candidates that I wanted to vote for in November, I'd choose Nader, followed by Gore, Buchanan, and finally prefering to take my own life than vote for Dubya. Look at that list. Me, Mr. Hard-Core Liberal, actually prefering Buchanan to the Republican candidate. I think I'm going to be sick. And Dubya might be President? I think that Alec Baldwin almost has the right idea.Ricky Martin's new single, "She Bangs", has one of the FIERCEST videos I've seen in quite a long while. Now, I'm not a huge Ricky fan. "Livin' La Vida Loca" was a fun song, but the rest of the songs on the first CD didn't work as well for me. And while I don't know if the song will remain one of my favorites, I know that the video will hold a special place in my heart for a long time. It's another example of a perfect escalation that simply leaves you breathless. And, Wet Ricky + Tight Pants = Fun. Yeah, I'm still watching Titans. Don't get me wrong, it sucks but I do enjoy it. I did check out Bette and Welcome to New York last week thanks to the TiVo. Bette was enjoyable, but I don't see myself turning in every week. The rest of the cast is just way too bland. New York, on the other hand, would be worth a second look. Christine Beranski is always a hoot, and the rest of the cast is hilarious. It's Surf Guru recommended.Also recommended is Grosse Point. I never watched 90210, but I know enough to know what they are talking about. Their Tori Spelling clone is excellent, and the actor playing the Stand-In is also tons of fun. Too bad Jolie Fisher got lured away to act in that John Goodman sitcom. Last week's plot that involved both weight in Hollywood and Monica Lewinsky was wonderful, and I can't wait to watch them take on Buffy during tomorrow's episode. The one thing that they need to do is take some of the focus off of Hunter aka Shannon Doherty for a couple of episodes. Granted, she's got the lead credit but we need to focus on a different character for a little bit and flesh them out too. Did I mention that the credits music is "Sex Bomb"? Watch it already! Finally, why don't you have a TiVo? What's wrong with you, man? Why won't you return my calls? Where's my HGI Bowling Shirt? Why won't you give me the RESPECT that I'm ENTITLED TO? Why won't you treat me the way I'd be treated by any STRANGER on the STREET? |
