Law & Order: Criminal Intent: To the Bone (2006)
Needs Closure
SUCH a frustrating episode! I certainly understand license to keep the viewer guessing, but this was too much for the usual L&O "wrap it up in 40 minutes" that I'm used to watching! Whoopi Goldberg?! What are you doing here?! I suppose I can't think back to what WG was doing with her career in 2006, maybe it needed a boost at the time?
Anyhow, after a LOT of research on this episode (15 minutes worth - which is far too much already), it seems Whoopi had INTENDED to have a recurring role, but other things came up & we'll never REALLY know what happens with "Chesley Watkins". The following episode does give SOME closure (as to the Martinez involvement) though, which is nice. Overall, an above-par performance by all. Thanks LOCI
The Future (2011)
Frustration, not The Future
The Future was grim for these two losers, Sophie & Jason. The cat, Paw Paw, was not funny, but rather a sad reflection of how fleeting the attention span of our Facebook-addled culture is in 2011.
One positive note - the scene where Sophie & Jason reflect on their age and position in life was incredibly honest & humorous. I especially enjoyed the line "I thought we would have been rich by now".
Miranda July is definitely good at making herself out to be the indie-branded 'weirdo' that she desperately wants to be. I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing her pop up in indy-blogs I find through Pinterest. She'll surely be marketing a brand of kale and some sort of Flax.
I could go on and on about this movie; but really - who cares? I am going to go quit my job and 'sell trees'. Pff. Get real.
