- The Second Most Interesting Man in the World
Think about it.. they keep coming out with the best shows. There's only been a couple of series I've watched through of anything on television.. let me try to list what I've watched.
- Heroes by NBC (overall one you had to finish, even if it did get out of control corny) - 6.5/10
- Prison Break by Fox (really good actually.. got hit hard by the strike) - 8.5/10
- Day Break by ABC (short, fun to watch, intriguing) - 7/10
- 24 by Fox (pretty sure it's the best of the bunch.. -.5 for liberalizing) - 9.5/10
- Lost by ABC (first three seasons were great.. the scifi ruined the rest) - 8/10
- Kick Buttowski (watched whatever was on Netflix with Cado Potato.. real good =p) - 9/10 in a way not better than Prison Break's 8.5
- Revenge by ABC (loving it so far) 9/10
And that might be it for the shows I've watched start to finish. Not counting miniseries, which are more like enhanced movies, these shows have all struck my fancy for one reason or another. The funniest thing about Revenge right now is that it's trailer would have scared me away from ever starting it. I'm really grateful I watched the two-minute YouTube promo instead, which did it much better justice than the teenybopper thirty-second one ABC shows during commercial breaks. It's deep and philosophical, emotional and thrilling, and that guilty pleasure most won't admit to watching. It's got some really good things going for it though.
Now, I feel it important to address that the Second Most Interesting Man in the World was originally intended to be me.. but after a bit of research and discovery that it was ACTUALLY FOX to make 24, it struck me that it must be somebody else.. I'm more like the first-and-a-half most interesting man in the world. I'm falling in love with Revenge though, and if it doesn't stop, continues for eight seasons, and does it all with the class and style of 24.. I don't know, I might reconsider my favorites.
There's a part of me that wants to become Jack Porter just as much as he wants to become Jack Bauer.
You know what I've said about being the most impressionable man in the world? Every time I really get into the cast of a show or movie, it makes me want to join the bandwagon and move to Los Angeles after high school and.. maybe.. Costa Rica.
I'm a talented actor. I get what a script intends and what an audience wants. I can get to the point at which the character becomes me, and Stevie LaFerriere as you know him no longer exists. One thing I can't do, though, is sing. That means no Broadway, but I'm not talking theater, I'm talking film. Theater people are weird. So are actors.. but in a classier way, I think. Then there are the actors and actresses that do theater. They're cool.. but theater people.. that could never be me.
I'm in a weird state of mind right now.. maybe that's what you get when you stay at home sick for a day and a half. Boredom and inactivity gets to me.. kills me haha.
I don't know what I wanna do besides feel pathetic haha.
It did make me pretty happy when I noticed I had a spinoff.. it's called What Am I Doing?
You might want to check it out, because if it came from one of my fans, it might appeal to the rest of my fans. Here's a link.. hold up.
and this is me!
or..
I don't know.. time will tell.
Maybe I'll just be a writer like John Steinbeck.
Or.. this gentleman: (who's strikingly similar to me in regards to thought on sociology and writing)
Whatever.. I just want the season finale to show up already.
I'm loving the way Bill Buchanan's on the show.. as "The White-Haired Man"
It was good to see Jack's "Don't Fight It" maneuver coming around again =).
Have I mentioned the episode titles of Revenge? I like them a lot.. because I used to plan on titling every entry of this journal that way.
Pilot (how original =p)
Trust
Betrayal
Duplicity
Guilt
Intrigue
Charade
Treachery
Suspicion
Loyalty
Infamy
Commitment
Perception
Chaos
Scandal
Doubt
Justice
Absolution
Legacy
Grief
Reckoning
Looking forward to Reckoning.. and next season's supposed to start off with a marriage. Also, wrapping up this season will let me find a new show to get addicted to. I don't know if it'll be quite as good, though.
Can always go back to rewatching 24 =).
(Forgotten List -- since I forgot these two, the list might be even longer:)
- Northern Exposure 8/10
- Freaks and Geeks 9/10
