“Silence is not indifference. Silence is me assessing the situation.”
On my way to job #2, so I’ve gotta make this quick.
-Comic people, I know the secret to One More Day. Yeah, I do. No, I’m not telling.
-Hah, it seems I was on to something in that music post. Emanuel Kiriakou, the same guy who wrote “What’s Left of Me” did write “Inconsolable”. I guess he really wants someone to know that he doesn’t want to waste another day. Man, whoever that chick was, she really did a number on that guy…
-BTW, I was really touched to see the comments on that post. Glad to know that I’m not just writing this for myself š
– I’ve always noticed that dating show contestants are recycled, but I never realized the sets were, too. I was watching A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila (ugh), and she takes the ladies to a house, dubbed “Heaven”. It’s so gaudy, as it’s the purest white of whites, and it has fur lining everywhere, and a 2-foot piano, and a boat in the middle of the swimming pool. Let’s just say that it’s a house you can’t exactly forget. Well, I realized that it’s the same exact house that Kimora was looking at when she went house-shopping on Life in the Fab Lane. So, I wonder if the realtor’s pimping the house out to make money while it’s on the market, or if this is a bonafide reality show/tourist attraction now.
-The WGA strike is going to fuck. some. shit. up. Lost fans? You’re done. Rumor is that it ain’t coming back until 2009. Fellow 24 fans, Fox has already taken it off the mid-season schedule. One thing people never realize about 24 is that they don’t have the season planned out. They have an idea of where it’s going, but they write the show 6 episodes at a time, to kind of gel with current events and see how the audience is reacting to everything. Well, they’re only 9 hours in at this point, so it would be a short day for Mr. Bauer. I lvoe how TV Guide.com said that Fox is suffering from a “Bauer Outage”.
Anyway, I don’t see this one resolving itself anytime soon. The stakes are pretty high, as the writers want a cut of the DVD sales. There’s no precedent for this, as TV shows weren’t released as commonly on VHS. We’re talking mp3-royalty level royalties here, and the recording industry still hasn’t really figured that one out. The closest thing they’ve got is Rhapsody, where I can “rent” my music by the month to make sure everyone’s getting paid. Not the best model, and I don’t see it working for TV. Everyone knew it was coming, but I feel bad for the shows that were slated to end at the end of the season. Scrubs, for instance. They were already going with an abbreviated 18 episode season, but it seems like they’ve only got 12-15 done. What happens when they run out, but don’t have the finale? Do they bring it back for an abbreviated 3 episode season next Fall? Also, if the strike is resolved, say in late March, do we forge ahead into the summer, or do we consider the season a wash and start over in September?
Bleh, well, those are my random thoughts. Time to go fend off soccer moms and trophy wives…
