Depression is Not Funny...?


So... as we are all unaware of, STARZ has been trying to jump into the"premium cable tv production" boat like the rest of its peers. I do have to tell Starz, that the key word here is PREMIUM, because so far everything just looked like something you can get out of Spike TV or the Oxygen channel.
The only reason I am watching "Gravity" is because of billboards brainwash every time I journey into Chelsea (another reason why I detest that area). Have you TRIED watching this "new original series?"

Uhh......

Its suppose to be a dark comedy/dramedy, but I think from the first episode it has failed to do either. The show's is centered on a support group for people that have failed to commit suicide. See, it does sound interesting right? RIGHT?

EEEEEEEK (sound of Taboo buzz)! WRONG BITCHES! Its confusing and as a lot of other reviewers have said, its because they can't seem to find a tone for the show.
Also, I personally think these people aren't depressed enough to display what actual depression is like. Its like these people never heard the term of "suicide watch," because miraculously after two days from physical recovery, they bounce back to their normal selves... I just hope to dear universe that Starz won't become the CW version of premium channels. Because by this point you should know how I feel about CWfreaking11.

SPARTAAAAAcus!

I am now currently back in Singapore and suffering from a horrible disease called "Jetlag." With hours to pass by in the early morning, I found this trailer for an upcoming Starz show called Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

If any of you like either 300 or Gladiator, I highly recommend you to watch it because it looks like a fusion of both movies with a flair of porn.


According to sources (via Perez), this show hasn't even been aired yet and the networks are so happy about it, they already renewed it for the second season. Let's just hope for Starz network that at least 2 million people will watch it on the night of the premiere.

P.S.: According to a tipster, this trailer is using the same music as in 300...... You know who their target audiences are: MEN. I hope to the Universe, that they don't have those stupid catchphrases like "THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!" Because, come January, if I hear drunken college boys yelling SPARTAAAAAAAA!!!!! SPARTAAA! SPAAAARTA! I will personally throw my cactus at them. It happened once already, I don't need to go through it again.
