Entertainment

I've got two new movie reviews, for March of the Penguins and The Aristocrats. That's right, folks, I combined 'em. Oddly appropriate pair actually.

Movie season is waning. I'm preparing myself for the fall television season now. I enjoy television. Go ahead, judge me.

David and I have become quite absorbed in The O.C. We're catching up via DVD but order doesn't seem to matter much. What I love about it is that you can read the detailed episode description and still want to watch the actual show. The dialogue is funny, the characters are perfectly likable or dislikable, and the soapiness of it all is fabulous.

Favorites are returning soon...Arrested Development, Lost, Gilmore Girls (I'm worried about direction here), West Wing.

David has finally brought me around to Scrubs, but only in small doses. I love some parts of the show and hate others.

The 4400 closed out its summer season quite satisfactorily. Ditto for Entourage.

Canadian teen show Degrassi (on The N) ended stupidly last spring. Way stupidly. But new season begins in October and from the previews I'm hopeful it will return to good form.

I love VH1's celebreality shows.

I watch Desperate Housewives but I admit I don't love it. I really like some of the storylines and loathe others. I tend to watch Survivor in slow or medium fast forward after the first two episodes and first five minutes of each subsequent episode. Alias has my head scratching and I pretty much gave up on it. ER was good for a bit last season, but my brief flirtation with it is well over.

I only have time to watch TV because of Timminy. I don't channel flip and I don't watch just to kill time. It is focused entertainment. In and out. Aren't you envious that David gets to live with me? :)
