Tai Shan, Ruthie Camden, Lost vs X-Files, and Mark Makki

“But they need to be inspired. And let’s face it, “Superman”…The last time you really inspired anyone–was when you were dead.”

Time for a Random Thought post.

1) How you gonna name a panda “Tai Shan”?!! Tomorrow, they’re gonna announce that its last name is “Jenkins”. I mean, I know that the thing is, phenotypically, half-black, but…

2) I’ve finally had my “old perv” moment. For some people, this came with the arrival of Britney. For others, it was Lindsay or Hillary. Some of us are still pondering the Amanda Bynes quandry, but mine is even worse. I can’t watch “7th Heaven” anymore. Ruthie Camden…I mean, I’ve watched her grow up, but just overnight…wow. And, on that note, am I the only one who realizes Ruthie’s Jewish? I mean, are they ever gonna tackle that issue? Does Rev. Camden have a few skeletons in his closet? She looks NOTHING like the rest of the family, and they’ve been dragging her to church all these years when she really wanted to be in synagogue…

3) “Veronica Mars” has some of the BEST dialogue on television, and I could live the rest of my life only watching “One Tree Hill”. But it is gonna MAJORLY suck for Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush when they have to keep filming those relationship scenes.

4) “Lost” is taking the world by storm. It’s like a cult, and I have never known a show to encourage so much audience participation and attention. I feel like I’ve been “Left Behind” or something. I missed that bandwagon just like I missed the first wave of “Harry Potter”. It’s too late for me now. Y’all send me some letters. But I really feel the creators of that show have painted themselves into a corner. The show has built up so much hype, the creators will be incapable of providing a suitable, acceptable conclusion to the tale. They have 2 options: A) they start following the theories of the fans, and farm some ideas there, or B) they try to pull something out of their asses, hoping to appease most of the fanbase. But I see an “X-Files” here. The longer you drag out the mystery, the less people care. Remember how strong “X-Files” started? Remember how it limped across the finish line? Prepare for Round 2 of that.

5) The Special Edition DVDs of the Batman franchise came out today. I, along with most of the world, HATE the Schumacher movies, but I’ve gotta tell ya that I’m a sucker for a commentary track. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I’m gonna have to drop the $50 on the box set. C’mon, it’s worth it for the 2 Burton commentaries alone!

6) Lots of MD drama right now. Mark Makki, this kid I went to middle school with, is the main suspect in the murder of his own mother. Apparently, they kept fighting over his choice of girlfriend, who I also went to school with. Now, there are several questions in my mind: How did Makki EVER get a girl like Aramis? Oh yeah, drugs. How has Makki been with Aramis for 5 years? Oh yeah, drugs. Why would Makki kill his mom over Aramis? Oh yeah, drugs. Sure, she was hot when we were 14, but now she is BUSTED. Crack is a terrible thing, kids. But it’s been hilarious reading the Montgomery County Blog, as people keep posting their opinions on the matter. My fave, “Aramis is a junkie and her father’s a junkie, too.” Turns out her dad even punched out the photographer that took their picture outside of the courthouse. But head over to Washingtonpost.com and seach for “mark makki”. There’s a picture of BUSTED Aramis and dad exiting the courthouse. Did he do it? Who knows, but it’s becoming an Iranian community vs. MoCo PD matter. Farrakhan or Sharpton should be entering the picture any day now.

7) It’s taken me 8 yrs to realize this, but Lippart was right; every episode of “Stargate:SG-1” IS the same.

Anydangways, that’s all for now. Maybe I’ll be more creative tomorrow…
