The Man Show (1999)
from a woman...
There was recently a commercial for this show saying something to the effect of "men enjoy it. women don't admit it, but they enjoy it too."
I find this ten times more insulting than the show ever was, and that's pretty goddamn insulting. Fine, "boys will be boys." Okay, "it's all in fun." Sure, "sarcasm." I'm as anti-PC as anyone, and I certainly don't claim to have a right to make anyone "behave."
But don't expect me to watch it, and don't expect me to pay any attention to it, and for god's sake, don't shove it in my face how completely unnecessary and useless it considers over half the world's population to be. Woman's television (which I think is horrible, by the way) doesn't insist that men like it, and that is the defining difference between this show and hell, a network like Lifetime.
An ad like that just sounds like insecurity to me, and that's the root of the thing--it's just a bunch of little boys trying to prove to themselves that women like being treated like sh*t.
Prove this misogynistic, offensive, terribly unfunny show wrong, ladies. Don't put up with it.
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
perfectly perfect!
What to say about this wonderful movie? The writers filled the script with hilarious one-liners that would make the worst band in the world seem like witty musicians. But, the Beatles are naturals, so that adds even more to the movie. It's surprising, dazzling, and refreshing to finally see a film where every last actor steals the show. Usually I fast forward through movies to my favorite parts, but with "A Hard Day's Night" whenever I'm tempted to do that I think "Well, what about that line? I can't skip that!". I lost count of how many times I've seen this film around 25...
Chicken Run (2000)
This Movie rocks!
This is such a funny movie! It's definetly one of my favorites! And the thing is, I really *cared* about the characters. With most movies, you say "Oh, ha ha, that's funny", but you don't care whether they live or not. I did with this movie.
