Not a good week for watching . . .

I have little to describe at the end of this workweek. I found myself cheering on UNR in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, my sister and a best friend currently attend that fine institution. They indeed won against Boston College, I truly wish I could say the game was fun to watch, but after halftime both teams were celebrating amateur hour and I found them to be without. The UNR I’d seen all year should have easily ran away with this game. Alas, that was Sunday.

Monday Night brought on the BCS Championship and quickly became the HIGHEST RATED CABLE SHOW EVER! According to The Hollywood Reporter, more than twenty-seven million people watched that broadcast live. For all of the hype that encompassed the likes of ESPN for the past two weeks, every bit of it paid off. Viewers showed up, 2010 Heisman trophy winner Cam Newton and the Auburn University Tigers stormed out of Phoenix with their heads held high and a massive W.

I have a hard time admitting this, but I found myself held hostage by a movie this week. Dinner for Schmucks held me ransom. Talk about an all out mockery of storytelling. Our only comments after the confirmation of a soulless Hollywood, were that of disbelief that a movie could yet again, be pushed on to the set with a clearly horrid script and allowed to run rampant with it’s own idiocracy. I blame you America. You showed up and gave this movie nearly 73 million dollars! Why? This was easily the most atrocious phlegm of an excuse for a storyline I’d ever heard of. I am livid at the thought of the millions of writers and directors and actors that could have had a chance to produce actual art, or even possibly actual comedy with the money that was thrown away with regards to this film. All while utter and complete trash is thrown upon American audiences, which are more than happy to gobble it up. I then caught an episode of Hawaii Five-O, needless to say . . . 'lil Caan is entertaining, while he plays himself. At least those writers were smart enough to get themselves jobs playing in Hawaii for the time being. That's about all I have to say about that.

Have a fantastic weekend!
