not just tv anymore

as it has happened in the past, i have turned off the regularly broadcasted tv and switched to the video game world... i connected the xbox about six days ago and may have watched ten minutes of tv, briefly during parts of meals, since last tuesday evening when i connected the new toy... ncaa college footbal has absorbed my audio-video time (and most all my other free time as well... also sleep time as i did not sleep the first night, tuesday into wednesday, and slept only two hours last night (only cuz i had softball to play today and did not want to hurt myself more than i might on no sleep... this game so beats out tv for me, at least for a while... i may wane in my absorption sometime next month, maybe... time will tell... and when time tells me, i'll tell you, cuz you were just dying to know, right?...

instant eh...

ok, so i took the day off and am relaxing and wrote most of the morning and decided it was time for lunch and since there was nothing on tv and tv keeps me company when i am eating alone, i decided to check out the in demand stuff and found once upon a time, a new show i wanted to see and so, on it went...

that was about five minutes ago...

and here i am already, the first scene turned me off enough to come here and put the tv where it usually resides, in the background... alas, leave it to tv writers to start out programmed and predictable and standard and unfortunately, formula...

. . .

scene two appeals a but more because i love the main character's face (a favorite from house... i never watched how i met your mother cuz i am not much into formula sit-coms and i didn't know she was associate producer on glee which surprised me) and while i don't like the over-done naivety of the teacher (i never watched the stuff she's been in, ed or big love, so she is brand new to me), i love her face too, so there may be some hope as faces are a primary attraction for me to continue watching something and there is the appropriately named mr. gold (rumplestilskin) who played a good love-hate character on star trek:universe and has been in a bunch of films, but they need much better writers to really become what i would have hoped this sort of idea could become and it is a wonderful idea...

it'll take more suspension of reality than it should (because of the poor writing and mediocre acting, especially of the male lead and evil witch - so far), but i will probably give this show a show if only in on-demand when i have time and in the background... would be more fun with a tv-watching partner of course...

i think i'll put the last four episides of fringe on in the background now...

red canyon

if you ever find a movie called red canyon on tv in the middle of the day or night or whenever, or in the video store or wherever, don't... it it is as badly written as it is badly acted with the most illogical and unbelievable cuts and continuity i've seen in any film in many years... fifteen minutes and it was gone, off the screen, never to be seen again... i hope...

just had to write this so i might remember if i ever see this again...

huh?
