Another post no one will care about.

Just so we're clear, Wonderfalls is another great show. Unfortunately it was cancelled after four episodes, but you can still get it on DVD!

And to show you all why you should support and spread the word about Wonderfalls, here are some choice quotes:

"You may be the universe's butt-puppet, but I'm its right-hand fist of fate. And tonight... accounts are comin' due."

"Wait, I can't let you give me your last eight dollars. Here's five back."

"Your sister's not a cold-blooded murderer. She's never been a planner."

"I am a lesbian. The reason I'm not attracted to you is because your genitals are on the outside."

"I don't have a choice; I'm a puppet. The universe just sticks its hand up my butt, and if I don't dance, people get hurt!" "I have to disagree. I make good life choices. Mostly because they're forced on me, but I make them. And I find myself in unpleasant situations all the time. You know why? Because even if you have a choice it can and will be taken away from you. We're all fate's bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now."

"He's much more Jewish than I am. Mostly because he was born that way. I'm sort of a Christmas and Easter Jew."

Deadwood. The Shakespeare of the future.

This is one of my all-time favorite shows. Period. The characters are vivid and memorable. Even the ones that died four episodes into the series resonate to this day. But I have to admit, sometimes this show is harder to understand than Shakespeare. Plots about government takeovers and gold mining are made all the more difficult to understand by the fact that these people talk like they're from 16th century England. Check that, they TRY to talk like that. I think the people in the Wild West tried to act like they were civilized by talking like they think high society would talk. Unfortunately all they succeed in doing is taking what could be said in five words and and expanding it into a full paragraph.

But I love it anyway.

Another great thing about this series is that the episodes aren't like episodes at all. The season is the episode in these people's lives, and it's just broken up into 13-14 parts, each one taking place right after the other leaves off. I'm watching the 9th episode of the second season right now, and I think only three or four days have passed in that time. Sometimes nothing really big happens in an episode, but it remains interesting because the characters (and there are A LOT of them) are so well-drawn that you are really invested in the small things, like staking a claim or whether the biggest asshole in the camp can pass a stone without dying. Seriously.

Deadwood. The Shakespeare of the future.

I recommend it to everyone, but make sure you start from the beginning and watch every episode; otherwise you'll be totally lost. Oh, and they swear. A lot.

And that's the end of that.

Well, today I put in my notice at the second job. Working 11pm to 7am on top of my day job was just getting too much for me. That, and I never realized how much of a social life I actually had until I wasn't able to do any of it.

I feel bad too. I just started working there in March. I felt like I was breaking up with a girlfriend. I said I would be there long-term, and I just up and quit.

Oh well.

I've still got a few more weekends to go.

So Dark, The Con of Dan Brown

Unless you've been living under hypothetical rock for the past few years, you know of The Da Vinci Code. I know that many of you love this book. I did not. I liked it, but love it? No. It had good ideas, but I don't think Dan Brown will be getting any awards for writing any time soon. He's just not a great writer. Period.

When I finally succombed to the pressures of my peers and read the thing, I'll admit, I was caught up in the story. But when I finished it, I wondered, "How the hell are they going to make this into a movie?"

The entire book consists of people talking. That's it. Talking. All those chase scenes in the movie trailer? Not in the book. I just couldn't imagine the movie being that interesting.

Now it looks like I've been proven right. Currently, The Da Vinci Code sits with a 0% on the Tomatometer. That means that of all the critics who have published reviews so far, not one recommends the movie. And most give the same reason I suspected from the beginning: Long, boring, talky.

So sad.

But I'm sure it'll make a lot of money.

United 93

I feel exhausted. That's the only word I can use to describe myself after seeing "United 93." Emotionally exhausted. Drained. And yet, I can't help but feel a greater and deeper respect for those that lost their lives on September 11, 2001. It's seems a little wrong to say it, but I thought this was a great film. As I was watching it, I was overwhelmed with the same feelings of loss and confusion I felt four and a half years ago. Because it takes place in the moment, with no hindsight or foresight, I believed the reactions on everyone's faces, and I was back on that day, not knowing what was going to happen next.

But I did know what would happen next. This made me feel a great sense of dread from the beginning, because I knew that these people would not survive.

For anyone who can stand it, I highly recommend this movie.
