movies sux! and more
Ok I'm back from being out of town, anyway, I saw a movie and I hadn't gone to see a movie in awhile...it's been awhile since I watched constantly in highschool/college...and I gotta say one thing: Movies today SUX! I haven't seen a good film since Sixth Sense that totally blew me away, and I dunno if I can get back into the swing again and try to watch more film. Prolly not.
Well someone said that the latest Entertainment Weekly does acknowledge GH's anniversary on 4/1...it's 42 yrs old. And you know how they did their commemoration? EW compared it to Sopranos and did a side by side chart....egads...How did we go from hospital drama, Luke and Laura, the Age of Labine 1993-1996, Jax/Sonny/Brenda to Mobsters in the AFternoon?!!!!!!!! And seriously, folks from other soaps say it's a Sopranos wannabe (James Reynolds, DOOL), the cast agrees, and now EW.
And someone mentioned something interesting...that the daytime powers don't really care about writing and doing their best for their soaps...that the networks' power is in primetime and that daytime can drop and die for all they care....sadly with the lack of press and attention and great stories this is the case. ABC's raking in the dough with DH and Lost, so it really doesn't matter if the ratings go kaput on daytime...they've already trashed history, so...
Back to Lost, well this is one reason why movies for me just don't cut it anymore. Last week, when I was expecting a regular good eppy, I GOT A FANTASTIC ONE. I was thrilled, scared, and totally shocked at the end when the light came up under Locke. And to show how freakin frustrated I was with GH, Lost actually did a great motif of "pushing down someone on the stairs" conflict. Can I tellyou again how GH sux at this??? (see Sonny , Carly, and Ric's history) Boone tells Locke about how when he was a lil boy he was a troublemaker and was bedridden. He kept ringing his bell so his nanny had to go up and down the stairs to aide him/get himstuff...well one day she fell down the stairs and died. Boone felt guilty, eventhough he was a lil child. GOOD LAWD does GH suck at this; I mean to the point of wincing!
