Since I'm watching on non tape delay, here is the non delay OC report. Taylor digs Ryan she's helping him with sleep disorder. Is Is it Marissa or is it the cage fighting? Boo, I was hoping Taylor was going to be waiting for Ryan in the pool house in absurd soap opera style lingerie. Sandy is playing gold with some dude I swear I saw on Perry Mason this after.(Yes the old ones, not tha revival TV films.) Summer has robbed rabbits with Che, will she be expelled? The answer will probably be no, but Che has rated her out.
Caitlyn does look hot in this episode, it's a shame they haven't brought Chris Brown(the singer) on to give her someone her age to act against/seduce.(I'm starting the online petition that's anti-Luke's brothers.) Because all the Caitlyn hitting on old dudes is just gross. But u know what's scary, Kirsten really does have a better body than all of her younger compatriots. They should let her sex it up instead of the youthful Caitlyn or also aging/good looking Julie.(who's doing young dudes the whole time, which isn't gross. See just when u thought I was going to play the old man/young woman being the only way it's ok card. Sandy is hosting benefits now? OK...missed that episode. Seth can't call Summer. Yet another way for Rachel Bilson to go off and film movies. Taylor is hurt by Ryan despite looking good, BUT a little Taylor totally goes a long way. TOO MUCH Taylor Townsend nowadays. Oh wait they kissed again, does Ryan like her? PLEASE tell me no, so we can END that storyline. Julie/Caitlyn happy in mother/daughter bliss, Ryan can sleep again after Taylor's kiss and chinese tea. Note:(literal usage not sometype of slang for poon there. The dating business is saved by Caitlyn talking mad shit to the old dude, who joins up with our sexy older dating hostesses.
So in the end it's a fun OC, just like last weeks, and probably next weeks. Which is fine, but didn't this show USED to have storylines. I thought humor was Seth,Sandy,
Man they never shoulda killer Johnny or maybe even Luke, he might be alright on there. Ok here's a different answer on how the show maybe could get better, one simple answer.(no it's not Anna, because she is always an answer.) Hailey. Bring Hailey back. She is ABSURDLY sexy. Wild, Interesting. She would be a good change of pace, since they've gotten rid of every character that is worth a damn on the show. And besides they cancelled Reunion so she may be available.

Underappreciated Legends Of Rock and Roll Vol. 2
SPIKE
Ah Christine Nelson aka Spike.(played by Amanda Stepto on every incarnation of the program) She was SO New Wave. From her hairspray consuming Aimee Mann coiffure to her friend Liz that looks like "she does it," Spike was the best Canadian 80's rock and roller.(Please no Bryan Adams or Rush fans emailing me on that statement.) Now she is most famous for being the one on Degrassi Jr. High who got knocked up by Shane (aka the kid who took acid and jumped of a bridge) and decided to not have an abortion by having . And because Degrassi was so raw, they went through all of the strifes to break it down for the keedz. So for most of her remaining time on the show, which was like every episode, she had baby Emma . Spike was so important to the program, her spawn became the focus of the almost as brilliant Degrassi the Next Generation. Anyway, back to the rock and roll. Spike had to have been the only teen on 80's TV that walked imaginary school hallwayswith big hair that actually looked good AND rocked Smiths T-shirts WAY before it was cool to. For that reason alone she's deserves more respect.

Underappreciated Legends of Rock and Roll Vol 1.
Straight out of Riverdale, she was the Keith Moon to Josie's Roger Daltrey, Melody Valentine(speaking voice by Jackie Joseph, singing voice by Cheryl Ladd) was the brilliant drummer of the Pussycats. This flaxen haired siren always had men salivating and following her every move with just one stroll down the street. Melody was a riot girrl before the term was coined and added WAY MORE sex than any pop singer of the day, because like most girl drummers she was hot. She was the one that made Mike Myers "horny on Saturday Morniny" in So I Married An Axe Murderer. I don't think any members of the Pussycats get nearly enough respect when it comes to . I bet PJ Harvey, Bjork and Kathleen Hanna would not have been rocking and spitting mad venom without the Pussycats. And please don't mention Tara Reid playing Melody in the film because frankly the original is always better.
Most importantly, the band's tunes were the most unstoppably catchy in cartoons this side of The Wayouts song on the Flintstones and we all know Melody is STILL a better drummer than Meg White. That fact alone makes her an unappreciated legend of rock.
In honor of tha fight
I had a request to discuss boxing so I will.
Las Vegas has the WORST judging in fucking boxing. Nevada has the most powerful comission in the planet, yet they can't any judges other than the Three Blind Mice.(Giampa, Shirley and Moretti. And like the vowel Y, Jerry Roth also joins that crew sometimes.) Actually the scary part is they weren't even the worst judges of the evening. Ok Dave Moretti was bad as always. But Carol Castellano was TERRIBLE as always. She ALWAYS gets it wrong. And Adelaide Byrd did a terrible job scoring, which is a surprise because usually she's decent.
So after a night of terrible decisions that robbed Brian Viloria and Mike Arnaoutis of wins and titles, we came into the main event with fury at a high.
Morales came out first with the Mexican equvalent of the so called "rapper/hype man" entrance, but the song itself was much more subdued. Wrestler Rey Mysterio Jr. was there for the ring walk as was Morales' father who was back in his sons corner.
He looked fresh and in excellent shape. You could tell that he meant business as entered the absurdly quickly.
Pacquiao was in Bruce Lee shape and when he was hitting the pads to warm up it sounded like Joe Frazier era George Foreman was hitting them. His smile gone you could tell he was going to fuck shit up as his thunderous music hit.
Alright Buffer does his thing, crowd's at a fever pitch, Larry Merchant says one of his now bullshit one liners, and both men come out slightly tentative. For about 30 seconds. Both fighters look like they are trying to hurt each other with each shot. We get the occasional jab and measure, but mainly bombs. Early in the fight Pacquiao is hitting himwith some clean lefts, but Morales comes back with some astounding powerful flurries. Pacman isn't doing his typical awkward constant motion, he actually is sliding across the ring more and cutting off the ring. They trade at the end of the round and the crowd is going crazy because there just wasn't that much of a feeling out process.
Lederman has the round for Pacquiao. So do I.
In round two Morales comes out stronger. He's battering Pacquiao around. Landing good combinations, Pacquiao is slightly off balance and he's moving with his back to the ropes. Somehow Pacquiao takes one good punch side steps a combination and threw a POWERFUL left hand that reminded of Ali's description of his "Phantom Punch" in the second Liston fight.(This can be seen in When We Were Kings) Morales falls to a knee, giving Pacquiao a chance to tee off through the reast of the round and a three point lead through two rounds.
In round 3 Morales looks OK, winning the first minute and a half, but Pacquiao breaks out "Manila Ice"(His right cross) and stuns Morales leading to an EVEN WORSE left that sends him down. Morales IS hurt, but he gets up. The ref Vic Drakulich gives him a chance(rightfully) and Pacquiao is headhunting. He goes fast and furious for his combinations and lands three bad shots that sends Morales down for good. He could've gotten up, but there was no point. And with that combination his career essentially is over.
I'm sure it was absolute fucking bedlam in Gen. Santos City, because it was a sensational KO. Nobody had an early knockout pegged.(I picked Pacquiao to win again, but not by knockout.) But everyone was in shock, due to the brevity/excitement of the fight. And frankly it put me in a better mood after all those garbage decisions.

Yes more OC discussion
"Call me after dark." Le tigre
Yes tha supa late OC report. Sandy needs peeps since they've written all the other dudes off the show. Even fucking Dr. Roberts? That is some bullshit. I thought he was a great addition and now he's gone. But, in the all Taylor Townsend/Sandy Cohen episode it was generally all good times. Since they are in that second tier of my fav characters(Anna is on her own tier as you know) it was fun to watch. They needed a good fun episode after three SERIOUS/DRAMATIC AS ALL HELL episodes, and it made me officially not miss Marissa Cooper. Did u know that the chick who plays Caitlyn Cooper is Brian Depalma's stepdaughter?(Note: the director of Scarface and my most hated film in years The Black Dahlia.) That makes her way cooler. I like Julie doing all the young dudes Mott The Hoople style again.
Che= dumb. Summer dissing "The Valley"=dumber.
Lest we not forget Taylor Townsend soon to be doing Ryan. That rules cuz she's a psycho AND hot. That is always an irresistable combination. She carried season 2
And now for Ian's most important question of the week, Where the fuck is Anna? I thought the whole point of the whole Anna/Seth and trying getting into art school thing required Anna going to Brown too. Am I the only one who thought this? Did I miss something on the prom episode? Maybe I'm just naive about these things. Alright lets not pretend, I miss seeing Samaire Armstrong on TV. But, cmon it makes sense from a writing standpoint. If you are going to constantly have to switch scenes to Rhode Island, why not bring her back because Che and hippies just ain't cutting it.
Man they never shoulda killed Johnny.(Yes that's an inflamatory statement I know.)
Rebelde update: Miguel collapses Monday, and forgets that he didn't fuck Sabrina.(So he can't tell Mia)
the Flash recommends: Degrassi Junior High Season 1. U know u want to relive Joey Jeremiah, Caitlyn, and Spike's triumphs and hardships in frigid Canada.

Tha 10 Best Of The Past 10
In honor of Tzameti, the best film I've seen all year. I have decided to introduce the discussion of the 10 best films from Europe from the last decade.(96-06 that is). Only one per director allowed.
So in random order
1. Run Lola Run dir Tom Tykwer
Franka Potente speeds like an Opel in a fushia haze to save her man who owes some criminals mad cash. Loud, frenetic and absurdly addictive, it pulses like the techno that scores it. It's the only film I've seen at the movies in it's first run three times.
2. All About My Mother by Pedro Almodovar
It's the best Almodovar film of this decade, though not my favorite of his whole filmography. It's kind of a full circle work for him. There are trans, miracles, kitsch, drama, and one of his original stars. Loud, colorful, interesting, it's the typical Almodovar film.
3. El Crimen Ferpecto by Alex de la Iglesia
It reminds me of the British series Are You Being Served?, due to it's setting and screwball style. But, it's also way darker and beautiful to watch. Basically its about this brilliant/lecherous salesman who takes out his main rival only to end up in a relationship/fight with one of the ugly women he's ignored in his department. This movie is one of the funniest I've seen in many years, but I think you can say that about about every fucking de la Iglesia film.
4. Amelie by Jean Pierre Jeunet
Uh it's Amelie, you've probably seen it. But anyway it's that cute Audrey Tautou as an unorthadox/magical woman who decides to help people. And of course there is also romance. Everything just works in it. Style, Color, Dialogue, Characters, everything.
5. Irreversible by Gaspar Noe.
It's backwards(yes like Memento, but with a point.) ABSURDLY HARSH. See the caps, I mean it. Put it this way, It's hard for ME to watch it and I like harsh shit. Monica Bellucci is in a nice relationship, something AWFUL happens, revenge must be served. It's by far the hardest to watch/most interesting film of the decade.(Aside from possibly Noe's other film I Stand Alone.)
6.Russian Ark by Alexander Sokurov
It's all one shot. The whole movie. And that doesn't mean it's staring at a wall. It winds and works its way through the whole Hermitage and massive set pieces. The movie itself kinda plays out like The Divine Comedy by Dante with two men traveling through death? time? who knows.
7. Layer Cake by Matthew Vaughn
Tight, harsh, dark, sleek. Daniel Craig is Mr. Fucking X and he's a drug pusher who ends up in mad shit looking for a girl and trying get rid of stolen pills. It's all style and is a writer's wet dream with the immense amount of plot twists.(Think one every five minutes.)
8. Scarlet Diva by Asia Argento
Ok it's not pretty, but it's BY FAR the most interesting semi autobiographical ever. It's uncompromising, sometimes showing the actress/director in the worst light, hardcore sex, drugged. It's not really about anything, just "I'm an actress this is how I live, deal with it."
9. Trainspotting by Danny Boyle
Boyle is still one of the world's best. Shallow Grave made him big. Trainspotting made him bigger.(It also saved Primal Scream.) It's back when Ewan McGregor was cool and drugs were bad. Well this film made them bad. It's about Scottish junkies struggling with sex, drugs and money, but u knew that since every one has seen it.
10.Tzumeti by Gela Babulanov
The newest film that sparked the whole discussion. Georgian/Russian coproduction. It's very film noirish with it's black and white negative and long shadows. Has that Herzog esque style of placing the camera and letting people do stuff. It's about a young workman who intercepts a letter that leads him step by step into crazy money and a dark world.
So feel free comment, disagree. It's all good here.

THE OC DISCUSSION CONTINUES
Alright before I go see the Slits(you know the band with Ari Up) I owe the OC report.
So after much confusion and no promos, The OC had a two night special.(which also led to a confusing comment from J Lee on myspace.) I thought they just did some weird we are skipping episode 2, which pissed me off as I tried to catch it So in my confusion I eventually had to torrent ep. 2.
Ryan is pissed off, brooding, and looking more and more like he's almost 30 in every episode. Julie is depressed and banging hot, sounds like THEY should get it on.(Oh wait Julie already fucked one of Marissa's old boyfriends. so they can't do that again.) But, wait Caitlyn has a problem. A shoplifting problem. Just like Marissa.(So maybe Ryan should just put Julie out of her misery.)
Caitlyn also has another problem. She's saddled with the two lamest characters in television since Will & Grace, Luke's twin brothers. I want all of the peeps to just think about the interesting characters pissed away by this program. Anna, Sadie, Trey, Ryan's mom, Lindsay, Zack, Luke, Alex, Alex's lesbian lover(Emanuelle Chiriqui is the actresses name, dont know the characters.), and of course Oliver. With characters like those you have infinitely more interesting things to build with. Here's the only reason I miss Mischa Barton, because there is no hope that Oliver can't come back and fucking terrorize her character.(His work on the OC made his slaugther and abuse in Chainsaw the Beginning all the more awesome.) We all know I want Anna as a regular, but they have had WAY more interesting characters on the show than the ones they almost seem to be stuck with. They should take a page from Rebelde(aka the Spanish OC) and keep the good new characters that they build as the show progresses and then balance them old ones you love. The best example of this is Cheers which only started to actually be good ONCE they added Woody. And then they added Frasier. And then you got Lillith. And so on.
Summer as hippie is interesting, but it's certainly hurting Rachel Bilson's position as the one who was carrying of show. Her good lines are gone, and now we can't even admire how good she looks in bright colors or her ample rack anymore. Official boo there.
And all this switching between OC and RI is annoying. They totally should've just done the cliched 90210, we all go to the same university storyline. At least, then characters could *gasp!* interact. Didn't Seth used to have good dialogue? Doesn't Taylor Townsend look hot on Stuff this month. Wasn't her character better in doses, rather than having to try and chew scenery in every tableaux.
Of course Sandy and Kirsten were both excellent, but the program is always better served when Sandy has some type of major storyline to participate in. But, that can
I'll admit the episodes were fun to watch, but then again so was OC season 2 at times.(Which we all know I try and forget in the OC storyline continuum.) I don't know why the show is limping so, but here's the answer... Bring back Anna. Ok not really, but it would keep me more interested.

Make way for the O-C
Alright everyone knows it's my favorite time of the Season. It's OC TIME! YES! Now I didn't do that cheap Online shit, I waited till the actual airing. So now I comment. I won't bow to myspace getting more of my time, let alone Rupert Fucking Murdoch.
First things first, 7 words.
Taylor Townsend is an official cast member. Yes! That rules. She's hot and definitely has her moments. But wait, allow me to play my bitterness card. Samaire Armstrong aka Anna NEVER got on the main credits, even in her hey day.(Season 1.) To quote the Boondocks That's some bullshit. Autumn Reeser aka Taylor Townsend gets full cred? Samaire only got Guest Star credit.(Or gasp! Special Guest Star credit.) I'm sorry my bias as an Anna fan, scratch that the Original Anna fan, takes over sometimes. Taylor Townsend does rule. U know I love her, she carried Season 2, sometimes
Lets get to the main event.
It took balls for them to kill Mischa Barton and even though I wanted them to do it, they may really have fucked the show in the process. I don't know if the all doom and gloom edition of the OC is that great. Ryan as cage fighter? Ok, sure. I guess they couldn't do the 85th drug/depression story, so why not just have him fight MMA. Seth is humorous. Where was that powerful Sandy character we all know and love? He seemed a dash too meek, in this one. It's weird I thought he would do his patented get in the car Ryan, or we're not a family without u? But the comic thing, was a mite strange, only because it was a family attempt to reach him, instead of just a Seth/out of the ordinary thing. Caitlyn Cooper will be a gold mine for the OC, sheerly because the casting agents just KNOW she will grow from awkward phase to crazy hot one of these days. That's what they did with Mischa, and it will probably work again.
Lets discuss the person that I thought would have to carry the show now and that is Rachel Bilson aka Summer. We all know that I dissed out on her all the time, and have since repented for my terrible ways by forming a mini Rachel Bilson cheer squad. Did anyone notice that she seems to have lost weight? Am I wrong on this? Is it that she is just older now? 1.Her face seems way thinner and that is how I noticed. Her face fits those anime/doe eyes of her name and she looks better. But, her body is tiny? What happen to the boobs? What happened to the hips? And why is she starting look lik
Wasn't that the point of having an Anna/Summer contrast? One is buxom and can fill out a Wonder Woman costume, the other one is pixieish/petite. I'm curious to hear what my lovely female readers have to say, because I kinda miss the curvier Summer.(I am a guy, even though I'm typically the fan of an Anna type.) Anyway, I liked what they did with her at the end, it made up for the strange way they had her act. She was good as usual though.
I can't figure out if I liked the episode or not. I enjoyed seeing characters I like, but was it what I wanted? Yes, no, who knows? Maybe they'll just go with the big Roseanne, it was all a dream season, and end the show with Mischa being alive, and all being well.
Hey wait a minute, Dr. Roberts isn't even a official cast member, i checked the credits again. Hasn't he earned his spot?
In other news
hey Lady SOV is on Letterman, wow it really is over. First ChChing isn't on the new album, now she's performing like she's on downers. And lest we not forget being number 1 on TRL. Not Rap City, but TRL. Ouch. And now I'm done playing my elitist card for today.
I saw Renaissance today and it was interested. Les Bleus certainly make interesting cinema. It was totally style over substance. But it was really fun to watch, kinda like Night Watch that Russian vampire flick. It fits right in with tha French tradition of animation like Fantastic Planet and anything drawn by Moebius, so it's worth seeing on TV/downloading/renting/owning.
Borat tomorrow. I was sick to death of all that shit, but at least it's been two years since I've seen Ali G and all that stuff. So it's not so over, and it should be funny again.
In the soccer report,
AC Milan won. Celtic got bombed. Arsenal pissed it away. Didier Drogba kills Barca even more than Messi kills Chelsea.
Rebelde update:
I'll keep it short. Gaston DIED on the show this week leaving Lujan guardianless. Que Lastima.
The Flash recommends:
Mew-And The Glass handed Kites. Yeah it's pretentious. But it also sounds like fucking Slowdive. Beautiful pop tunes, but it's also complex. Soaring guitars, layered atmosphere, high blended vocals, sounds like a shoe gaze record. Special is definitely one of the best songs of the year. Oh yeah, and one of the best crap album covers of all times.
First things first, 7 words.
Taylor Townsend is an official cast member. Yes! That rules. She's hot and definitely has her moments. But wait, allow me to play my bitterness card. Samaire Armstrong aka Anna NEVER got on the main credits, even in her hey day.(Season 1.) To quote the Boondocks That's some bullshit. Autumn Reeser aka Taylor Townsend gets full cred? Samaire only got Guest Star credit.(Or gasp! Special Guest Star credit.) I'm sorry my bias as an Anna fan, scratch that the Original Anna fan, takes over sometimes. Taylor Townsend does rule. U know I love her, she carried Season 2, sometimes
Lets get to the main event.
It took balls for them to kill Mischa Barton and even though I wanted them to do it, they may really have fucked the show in the process. I don't know if the all doom and gloom edition of the OC is that great. Ryan as cage fighter? Ok, sure. I guess they couldn't do the 85th drug/depression story, so why not just have him fight MMA. Seth is humorous. Where was that powerful Sandy character we all know and love? He seemed a dash too meek, in this one. It's weird I thought he would do his patented get in the car Ryan, or we're not a family without u? But the comic thing, was a mite strange, only because it was a family attempt to reach him, instead of just a Seth/out of the ordinary thing. Caitlyn Cooper will be a gold mine for the OC, sheerly because the casting agents just KNOW she will grow from awkward phase to crazy hot one of these days. That's what they did with Mischa, and it will probably work again.
Lets discuss the person that I thought would have to carry the show now and that is Rachel Bilson aka Summer. We all know that I dissed out on her all the time, and have since repented for my terrible ways by forming a mini Rachel Bilson cheer squad. Did anyone notice that she seems to have lost weight? Am I wrong on this? Is it that she is just older now? 1.Her face seems way thinner and that is how I noticed. Her face fits those anime/doe eyes of her name and she looks better. But, her body is tiny? What happen to the boobs? What happened to the hips? And why is she starting look lik
Wasn't that the point of having an Anna/Summer contrast? One is buxom and can fill out a Wonder Woman costume, the other one is pixieish/petite. I'm curious to hear what my lovely female readers have to say, because I kinda miss the curvier Summer.(I am a guy, even though I'm typically the fan of an Anna type.) Anyway, I liked what they did with her at the end, it made up for the strange way they had her act. She was good as usual though.
I can't figure out if I liked the episode or not. I enjoyed seeing characters I like, but was it what I wanted? Yes, no, who knows? Maybe they'll just go with the big Roseanne, it was all a dream season, and end the show with Mischa being alive, and all being well.
Hey wait a minute, Dr. Roberts isn't even a official cast member, i checked the credits again. Hasn't he earned his spot?
In other news
hey Lady SOV is on Letterman, wow it really is over. First ChChing isn't on the new album, now she's performing like she's on downers. And lest we not forget being number 1 on TRL. Not Rap City, but TRL. Ouch. And now I'm done playing my elitist card for today.
