thoughts on recent media while grooving on a cookie

24: This show is like crack cocaine. Watching the 2-hour season premiere at her place last night, rev and I were comparing notes on how Jack Bauer never has to recharge his cell phone or pee. Neither did 007. Jack Bauer is the new James Bond. Racist? Sure. oh, and Bond wasn't? I still think all Russians are evil.

Brokeback Mountain: YipeeayooK-Y Muthafuckas. I liked it. Best Picture? No way (of course my saying that means it will sweep... what do I know - I didn't like that MDB that won last year either. ) There wasn't enough of a story. If it had been a man/woman love story it would have bored the shit out of me in 20 minutes, and a woman/woman tale would have busted my chick-flick-ometer and sent me fleeing in horror.

King Kong: WWWWay too fuckin long. We don't need an hour of giant bugs and chases and yeah, we-get-it-youre-really-good-at-special-effects. Or bland ingenues for that matter. Beautiful photography but, duh, it's Peter Jackson.

The Corporation:

The O.C:
