A Very Disconcerting News

I am disturbed to recently find out that my friends did not know the joy of OVGuide.com

*As a self-renowned TV expert, I find it that it is my DUTY to inform my viewerships about this emergency.  

Not that I minded them coming over to my place to watch my premium channels (somebody needs to watch them, I pay premium moneys for these babies), but they shouldn't just solely rely on me. That is why the interweb is so wonderful don't you think? 

So here is my PSA: OVGUIDE: use it, abuse it, bookmark it. 

This is basically like the google for anything video, Youtube can suck it. I'm just kidding, I heart Youtube. If you want to watch anything, this is where I recommend you to go and find it. 

*if any of you know a better website please report it to me immediately! it would be as important to me as a national fucking matter. 

And for you 5 people who watches porn, they have a whole section for dedicated for it. They have everything, even Bollywood. 

Shows with Strong Pilots (SWSP), but...

kinda sucks. Oh, and i'm talking about Fringe, that show on FOX. Sorry for fans out there, but even i know that this is not real science and therefore you shouldn't be getting your "science" education from this show. So, this is a note i posted on facebook, and somehow it initiated this whole blog movement (with 4 viewerships that i get because my friends pity me). Its not pity sex, its pity reading. Here it is: 

I just decided to start watching a brand new tv show at 3am. the show on the topic of today's discussion is called "Fringe," some of you might know or have watched it. this show is basically about "Fringe Science" aka bullcrap science, like telepathy, teleportation, and reanimation shiz. ALSO, (this is important), it is created and partially written by J.J. Abrams. oh, you know, the guy that made shows such as Alias and Lost (Felicity is not going to be included for the argument right now). 

*how i'm feeling about the show right now. 

J.J (yes that's right, after 6 years of watching his shows, i deserve to call him on a first name basis), decided that he will take MOST of the elements of the previous shows and incorporate it with a sci-fi twist. so i just finished the 80 minutes pilot, and would have to say that it is pretty good, as i am a sucker for sci-fi. but i just need to point out some spoilers right now. 

1. for some reason, J.J. needs/likes to kill the love of the protagonist's life at the FIRST episode (also in Alias). why is this? i don't know, maybe he has some mother problems or attachment issues. but if he makes a new show/movie right after this, expect someone to die in the first episode. wait, he DOES have a new movie out soon... "Star Trek," expect deaths people. don't get too attached to the characters (like i did). 

2. he also still likes to put in suspenseful freaky music RIGHT before the commercials (both in Alias and Lost). WHY DOES HE DO THIS? it creeps the shit out of me. i was watching this show with limited interruption from the movie "the uninvited (HOrror movie)," courtesy of hulu.com. seriously, it was just not pleasant. 

3. ok, and lastly, J.J. likes the concept of "oh the universe already has a plan for all of us" kind of crap. "Rambaldi" in alias. and "the Island" in lost. now, in this spectacular new show, its called "the Pattern" where everything in the world happens for a purpose, and basically if you're part of "the Pattern," you're sooooooo fucked. 

4. no, actually this is the last one, J.J. would always end his episodes with a MAJOR cliff hanger, the ones that will make you NOT sleep and instead watch this ridiculous show till 11am. 

so fuck you and thank you J.J. Abrams. You really know me well after all these years and still produce consistently good shows (even though your movies are mediocre [mission impossible III anyone?]). i know that i'm a loser (almost worth to be de-friended) for writing this, but i felt that it was utterly important to share with the world (or at least my circle of "friends". I am sleepy, but i will watch episode 2 and see if i'm ready to commit to a new show. 

*sorry to friends who wants to chill tmrw, but there's a 30% chance that i will get out of my room. 

UPDATE: THIS SHOW KINDA SUCKS. 2nd episode was a major downgrade. like MAJOR. my recommendation: DON'T COMMIT! but maybe give them the ratings once in a while. 

UPDATE II: uh, i finished 11 episodes in a row, so maybe its not so bad after all. 

PSYCHING OUT: Real Chance of Love Edition

Hi you guys, this is "Bubbles," a contestant from Real Chance of Love (one of my many favorite shows from VH1). Bubbles here has gotten a certification for ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis [i don't even know what it is for....]) after she was eliminated from the show. Anyways, she thinks she's better than all those other bitches and hoes because she knows the term "positive reinforcement." (If you are interested, its basically like giving your dog a treat if he learns how to sit, therefore reinforcing the good behavior). But it got better when one other contestant said "I'll positive reinforce your ass!" I don't even know what that means, I don't even think it's possible for anyone to positively reinforce an ass. oh, maybe it is possible. whatever. this puts a shame to all psychologists out there.

PSYCHING OUT: Cannibal edition

I'm going to go off and discuss/complain/share about psychology matters once in a while. Funny enough, I barely had any interest when I decided to pick up this major. Now I can't stop blabbing about it amongst my other TV things. I have very patient friends. 

So, a friend of mine told me to read this Vice Magazine article about Issei Sagawa, a guy who killed and ate a whole woman mostly RAW (he kept some of the meat in the fridge so he could eat it for days)... It was actually interesting but yet I was still disturbed by the interview, so I thought I should share my disturbances with the world (yes, you are welcome). Mr. Sagawa thinks that its REALLY OK to kill and eat someone and he's still looking for his next meal ticket. He prefers that his next "victim" to be a young, beautiful Japanese woman...  A warning to the targeted demographic: don't wear short skirts, because this one guy will want to eat your ass (not in a good way). I'm not going to post a large photo, because I find him to be creepy. 

uh, how he talks about food: 

"At first I bit into her butt with the intention of munching right through, but it’s impossible! Human skin is so thick. I ended up with a sore jaw, although I managed to leave some teeth marks. I ended up swallowing the clitoris and some pubes without chewing on it because she had her period then and the smell was just horrendous. But it was the first moment that I actually felt a sort of sexual pleasure in eating her, as if my inner body was on fire. Also, you know how beef or whale meat has a sort of beastly smell to it? Human meat is odorless. I actually believe that human meat is the tastiest of all meats. It doesn’t have any of that gamey animal smell. When I ate some more a couple of days later, just before I got arrested, the meat had become sweeter and it tasted great. The meat on the soles of her feet smelled bad, though, and didn’t taste very nice. The neck was the best. The meat tastes more delicate as you move up the body, especially above the torso. Her tongue was delicious as well. I took it out of her mouth and chewed on it raw. Neither the neck nor the tongue has much meat on it, though, so if you really want to feast, you should eat the thighs. "

Even though he's disturbed, I find it that he seems to be well educated and very eloquent about his "problem." I feel that its like the extreme opposite of a phobia. (I know a person who would freak the fuck out when she's in the same room with a spider, or when she thinks she sees a spider on the other side of the road. kuhraazy) Anyways, maybe its an extreme fetish version of biting people. (I know some of you like to bite, i've dated some biters, so don't lie to me please.) Because he believes that even kissing is a cannibalistic urge, you want to kiss the person, therefore you want to taste the person's flavor... it makes sense, but non-cannibals do it for foreplay to sex, you do it as eating hor's doeuvre before your meal. GARGANTUAN DIFFERENCE.  

-sidenote: did you know that cannibalism isn't a taboo amongst all culture, the only consistent taboo for everyone is incest. 

anyways, here's the article, i've warned you. 

WHO'S HUNGRY?

uh, i'm not sure if its NSFW, but its still pretty gross. a picture of the body that they found of the girl... Thank the Universe that the picture is old and small

*thanks Pey for making me read this article. 

Flight of the Conchords, why I love them.

I'm pretty sure that all of you Flight of the Conchords fans have already seen this video. This has gone viral beyond what I expected, but please enjoy it. I'm really warming up to Jemaine here (the chest hair in pic), and I have to give him brownie points for being so brave with the choreography (in video). I'm sorry, but I'm still not sure how to put an actual Youtube video in this blog. Give me time. But here's a lovely (i-don't-care-what-they're-wearing-its-still-sexy) picture to make it up for you guys. Never mind... I am retarded. I figured out how to do it. But I still like the pic, so here's your double daily dose of the awkward New Zealand hotties.  

 

Sugar Lumps

"I don't think I wanna be a prostitute. You should be the prostitute."

WHY?

I LOVE the show "In Treatment." I particularly love Blair Underwood, because he is F-I-N-E! (who cares if he has fictional emotional problems, come talk to me all you want darling [preferably shirtless], i'm READY to listen). But HBO has done something that might jeopardize my relationship with Mr. Underwood, they have decided to push the release date of In Treatment into FALL 2009! WTF?! THE ATROCITY! I have been PATIENTLY waiting for this DVD release since October 2008, OCTOBER people! And even during October, Amazon.com announced that it was going to be released on March 24 2009. I was hoping that this could potentially be my birthday present (as my birthday is on the March 30th), but THANKS HBO, NOW YOU HAVE TO RUIN MY BIRTHDAY... 

What's that? Why don't I search for it on Youtube and OVguide? bitches PLEASE! I have been searching high and low everywhere for these precious episodes, but was only able to find 5-7 episodes of each patients (even though I never cared about Laura, girl fell in love WITH the therapist, i know... WHAT? that's just a vicious cycle waiting to happen.) But, if any of you lovely readers manage to find the full first season, please give me some tips. 

Why don't I just subscribe to HBO you say? I DO HAVE HBO! Then why didn't you watch it? ............ uh........I'm ashamed to admit this, but the concept of the show didn't interest me much at that time (and I'm a psychology major, more shame to me). So, I never got around to watch it, even though 2 friends insisted that it was good. It was until a 3rd friend told me to watch it, and i guess at that moment I caved in the name of peer-pressure. At this time, HBO has removed all the episodes in their "On Demand" channel, forcing me to watch through Youtube (nothing wrong with that). I do recommend you all to watch the first (partial) episodes here: 

Laura

Alex

Sophie

Jake & Amy

Gina

I'm not asking for the moon/rainbows/unicorns here, I'm just asking HBO to kindly put the episodes back as a part of their "On Demand" and we'll all be happy. Since you only release DVDs right before the new season starts, then I have a feeling that the second season will start in Winter of 2009. If you pushed the release date till Fall, this means that you STILL HAVEN'T STARTED SHOOTING 2ND SEASON?! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME? GO DO IT NOW! and don't give me that economic recession bullcrap, YOUR BUDGET COST IS CHEAP BECAUSE THE SET ONLY CONSISTS OF ONE ROOM! ok... calm down... deep breaths.... sigh, if any of you see any updates on this show, I guess leave a comment. 

Now I look as sad as Gabriel Byrne (the therapist pictured in the poster). 

Verdict: Definitely COMMIT to this show. Especially if you do have "problems." 

let me explain

There has been some requests from friends that I should start a blog (it seems 3 people is enough for peer pressure to work on me). The television has played a major role in my life, it has been a wonderful device for boredom to bonding, since my friends are sick of me talking about TV (hence the blog suggestion), I will be commenting on TV shows and etc from now on till I get bored of this thing. I am highly inconsistent and have a minor commitment issue; therefore, please don't get too attached to this "blog." and my grammar sucks, so forgive me as I will be trying my "best."
