That's what I get for Watching Spike...
Dear Spike TV,
I was delighted to learn that you were going to to an awards program showcasing the best of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. I was further pleased to hear that you'd be covering movies, tv, comic books, and giving out a few well deserved achievement awards. We seem to have similar tastes, you and I. The musical performances were cool, and the preview clips were fucking awesome. The various montages were well edited and fun, and the RIP segment was hilarious. While The Scream Awards were entertaining despite a very silly production designer, I have a few questions about the winners (warning, these questions will include my opinion as if it were fact):
1. Do you know what a "Scream Queen" is? I don't think you do, since that award went to Kate Beckinsale. Ew. Does she even do any screaming in those stupid White Wolf ripoff movies?
2. Am I the only one who noticed how terrible Exorcism of Emily Rose was? Spike TV, you showed real balls awarding anyone from this film in front of Linda Blair. And not the good kinda balls: the sloppy, drunk kind.
3. Why was the zombie/gift bag vingette so terribly underehearsed? I love zombies, as everyone well knows. But that was just painful to watch.
4. Why don't you know that a family is not the same as a person? As much as I love the Firefly Clan, they are a Clan and not a person. Jigsaw was robbed!!
5. How dare you even nominate Smallville? It sucks so bad I can't even watch it despite having crushes on both Clark and Lex. Shame on you.
6. Jessica Alba as best female superhero? That's just stupid.
That said, I was perfectly comfortable with BSG beating LOST for best TV show. I know...I know, but Sci-Fi has a much smaller budget and almost all unknowns in the cast (aside from Olmos, and Olmos's ass) so they get the advantage. Besides, like I keep saying, if BSG had real swearing and some boobs, it would be on HBO. And HBO has yet to make a bad series (except Arliss).
And I am stoked as hell for Grind House which promises to be the most spectacular amazing violent film of next year. And that chick who plays Six on BSG is totally starting to grow on me. She's the hottest chick named after a number since Seven of Nine!
Love,
wednes
Actually, I forgot to mention the BSG season opener. It was awesome, although I don't like the way the new Starbuck storyline is working out. I hope she's faking. I don't care for the newer, softer, Little Adama. But since that it clearly a makeup job, I presume he'll be less soft soon. And as usual, Gaius Baltar can kiss my ass. I'm sick of him and his lusty shenanegans fucking up the human race. I'm not even that big a fan of humans...in a way, I suppose, it's impressive that anyone's thingy could get us all into so much trouble.
We are still waiting to hear back from H's mom about the handfasting. I also need to find a dress, a venue, a musician, and probably a zillion things I'm not thinking of. I got a book on wedding planning when I got ordained, they sent me a nice little package of stuff. So I'll probably use that for starters. This is gonna be kind of a big deal, so I sort of wish I'd have given us more time to plan. But I'm sick of waiting around. Anyway, it's scheduled for October 20, 2007. It's a Saturday, and we'll have a waxing moon. Woot! So yeah, clear your calendars. I'm thinking late afternoon, early evening sort of deal. I haven't researched appropriate times, but we'll likely do it at 30 minutes past whatever hour it is.
I got totally threatened about my incessant not going to Group. I hate Group. I hate going to Group. But they said if I miss anymore Groups then they have to boot me. I mean, they're just being fair because everybody has to go. But as I may have mentioned, I hate it. But I have to go. I hate "have to." At least the added med is taking the edge off.
Lj Scrapbook is pissing me off. I haven't been able to upload a picture in two weeks. That sucks, because I've been waiting to post something from The Onion about Uwe Boll.
