T.O. Show

thaichaiguy — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:15:33 +0000

I saw about 15 minutes of the new T.O. Show on VH1 and I have to wonder what the Buffalo Bills think of all this. Their newly signed wide-receiver goes off to Los Angeles to star in a reality show where his main role is picking up women. All of these reality shows are paper thin and the T.O. Show is no exception. The lowest moment is when he hops into a hot tub with a Asian woman who thinks she’s Kimora Lee. Terrell even goes as far as trying to rekindle his relationship with his ex-fiancé. At least she was pretty good looking but she’d be a fool to fall for his antics. I hope this show and the Buffalo Bills suffer from T.O.’s arrogance.

I’d be embarrassed if my Miami Dolphins don’t sweep the two games we play against this fool.

My Favorite Super Bowl Commercial: Lebron Electrifies Football: State Farm

I “Lol’d” when I first saw this commercial. The amazing thing is that because of Lebron’s athleticism it really could happen. Lebron would love to add to his ego and admitted to saying football is one of his favorite sports. He could be the first player to be an All-Star in both the NBA and NFL. What a storyline that would make.

Of course it really wouldn’t happen…

Natalie Portman guest judge on Project Runway

Last night I caught some of Project Runway because my girlfriend loves that show. I was ignoring the show since I was busy completing quests in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 on DS. They get to the point where they introduce their guest judge and its Natalie Portman. I love Natalie! She looked tiny in comparison to Heidi Klum but she always has a sophisticated look.

The episode was based on making “Green Clothing” since Natalie is a huge promoter of organic and environmentally friendly apparel. Her comments when it came to judging were okay overall. She seemed knowledgeable but also had opposite opinions from the other judges. One thing I noticed was that she gave away who she was going to choose as the winner a little too early.

This is not a gossip blog. I just have an affinity for NP.

Jason Taylor Is Dancing Up A Storm

Two weeks in a row he has put on impressive performances and is giving Mario a run for his money. Taylor is showing that even if he’s unlikely to be a champion on the underachieving Miami Dolphins he can still be a champion. A dancing champion. His mambo last night scored high regard from the judges and the audience. Even viewers who have never heard of Jason Taylor are becoming fans. Hes just that kind of guy which is one of the reasons he won the “Man of the Year” award last season. Even during a 1 win season he kept his composure as usual.

I’m a Fins fan so I hope he can pull out of win on the dance floor. For his NFL career I would really like to see him traded to a super bowl contender. As long as its not the Patriots…

Sarah Connor Chronicles

thaichaiguy — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:17:56 +0000

When I first heard the news about this show I thought it’d be a complete flop and ruin the entire story… But that already happened when T3 came out. I recorded the first two episodes that aired this past Sunday and Monday and just watched them last night. I have to say while the action scenes aren’t quite as high in octane as the movies the overall feel is still Terminator. They did a good job of re-using some of the same background music and re-visit themes like teleporting naked. Thankfully there are no advanced Terminators like the one seen in T3. I also like how the plot takes place in 1999 following the events of T2.

While the acting is not stellar I was still compelled to see where the story was going. The main Terminator in this series is played by Summer Glau who you may remember from Firefly. At first I was wondering why she didn’t act obviously robotic but later you find out that she is a more advanced model that behaves a lot more like a human. She can even eat! There are obvious signs of sexual tension between John Connor and his bodyguard which are kind of awkward. I can’t wait until teen John Connor starts hooking up with the robot who doesn’t even have a name besides “Tin-man”. The old John Connor probably sent himself a bodyguard/sex slave.

Entourage

(No spoilers)

If you’ve never heard of Entourage it’s probably because you lack HBO. Entourage is a great show starring a great cast. These guys mesh so well you’d think they were friends in real life. I’ll have to admit season 1 wasn’t all that great but the show has grown allot since then. No longer do they base their shows on surprise cameo appearances, instead they just write good plots. Now if you’ve never seen the show I don’t want you to think that this show should win an Emmy for script writing. What I mean is that similar to “Desperate Housewives” or “Sex in the city” the plots just grab the audience’s attention with the comedy and sex.

Another thing I love about the show is their ability to contain so much content in just 30mins. I think here in the US just about every show is 60mins long. Personally 30min shows just fit our hustle and bustle life styles better. If I’m at home and I just want to take a break, I’m thinking 20-30mins not 60mins. Another part of the format that I like about the show is their language. Not that I particularly like potty mouths but it just fits the characters better. A hard ass doesn’t sound the same in PG.
