E! News, DeBlasio Style
Britney marries?, Cat Stevens deported, and the new fall season premeirs everywhere. First, lets get some things straight. Please do not read this post and write me comments, like "I don't care about Britney, or what is on TV. I do not even watch TV." Yes you do care, otherwise there would not be a cable station for just ridiculous entertainment news. Also, I really despise people when they say they do not watch television. This is really big for famous people like actors and singers to say. They somehow think they are on a higher intellectual plain if they do not watch television. Last Thursday night for example, 22 million people watched CSI, 20 mill. watched Survivor, 16.5 watched Will & Grace, 16 watched Without a Trace, 15.9 watched Apprentice 2, and 15.5 watched Joey. That is an average of 17 million viewers per show, on one single night!! Over 99% of American homes have a television, more homes have a TV than have indoor plumbing. Stop saying you do not watch TV!!!
Britney marries, again!!! I knew I should have taken her in my Liz Taylor pool over J-Lo. Techincally she is not married, because for once the money grubbing man is trying to steal as much money as he can in a pre-nuptial agreement. Finally, a man is trying to do what so many women do, he wants $3 million for every year that they are married. That is awesome. In reality he has no right to that money, but god bless him for going to get it.
Yusaf Islam, formally know as folk singer Cat Stevens was deported back to England earlier this week. This man made some of the great music of his time and has been recognized for that. But please stop making a big deal out of this, he is now a muslim and has in the past supported (knowingly or unknowingly) charities which fund terrorist activities. So you know what I say, Fuck 'em. Send his ass back to England.
Now to the fall premiers of old shows that we love and new shows that we will soon love. All August I was inundated with the commercials for a show called Lost on ABC. Here is the official description of the show:
Forty-eight people have survived a horrific plane crash in the South Pacific -- but they were 1,000 miles off course when it happened, so no one knows where they are. What's more, one of them was traveling in handcuffs and leg irons (for what crime, we don't know), and the remote island is home to some mysterious things lurking in its interior.
I tried watching this thing last night, and we need to clear some things up real fast. First, the whole back of the plane ripped off and 48 people survived? I can deal with that, maybe. Now lets get to the complete rip off portion of the show. I remember watching this one time, when it was called Lord of the Flies. Remember they stole the fat kids glasses, I do, I am the fat kid!!! Tom Hanks wrote and starred in a good movie calle Cast Away, and boy if this thing didn't almost steal dialogue right out of that movie. The pilot explains how they were diverted and ar a 1,000 miles of course and how people are looking for them in the wrong place. Remember Tom Hanks had this discussion with a volleyball, I swear the dialogue is 98% similar. I mean do these TV people even try to come up with their own ideas? Then there is a Jurrasic Park feel to the entire thing. Some mysterious creatures are out there eating people, and from some of the quick cuts they appear dinasour like, to the rain when they are in the mysterious forest to highten the sense of fear. This thing is dreadful and is justa total rip off of all kinds of shows and movies. Heck, soon there is going to be a surfing competition on the island and one character is going to give the other an ancient artifact he found to wear around his neck that turns out to be a bad luck charm and the surfer hits his head and almost drowns because of it(for those idiots out there, that was a Brady Bunch episode in Hawaii).
Lastly, the show I still love. You can give me all your CSI's, Cold Case, SVU, Third Watch, or any other crime drama, but for my money Law and Order the original is still the best. The new season premeired last night and it did not miss a beat even though its longest running character Lenny Brisco (Jerry Orbach) was replaced. The new detective is a slick walking and talking older guy, with a pocket full of cash (and maybe some mob ties?) named Joe Fontana, perfectly cast with the great Dennis Farina. This show is simply the best, everything about it, the writing, the stories, the acting, the editing. Sam Waterston as "Black" Jack McCoy is brilliant, he is very passionate in his job as the DA. I think this season will be really interesting, there are going to be some great twists and turns. I still watch this show over any of those other pieces of crap copy cat shows.

Another post from your lazy ass brother, who can't be bothered to get a logong to this site. No, not Keith, your other lazy ass brother, Kyle. I was just curious if you checked out the production credits to the new show "LOST". JJ Abrams of "Felicity" and "Alias" fame is one of the producers (obviuosly he cant come up with a second word in any of these titles). The other producer is from an NBC show, "crossing Jordan"
You might just think it is a coincedence , but I was able to get a picture of the guy, and yes it truly is Damon Lindelof, the same guy we went to High School with. I think you need to write him, and let him know, you think the show is a rip off. You could have a direct line to a TV producer. A chance to influence instead of just bitch and moan...althought i know , bitching and moaning is much more fun.
