v

I'm pretty sure no one I know besides my brother and dad watch this show, but hopefully whatever I write will change that for you. V has just finished its first season on ABC, and it really went out with a bang. V is a remake of an old mini-series. It's named after the nickname for the "Visitors," also known as the aliens that have come to earth and hovered their ships over all major cities around the globe. The story follows the V ship hovering Los Angeles. The leader of the V's is  a cunning babe named Anna, whose beauty and manipulation is able to make the Americans believe they've come in peace and see them as a miracle brought to earth to share their technology and resources. Clearly this is false. Very false. The V's look just like humans, except of course when they are wounded and their scales come out to play. A few O Bombs will do that to you too. A group of rebel V's and humans known as the 5th Column make it their duty to take back their land and expose the V's for the pieces of shit they really are. Scott Wolf stars as a journalist taken under Anna's wing. He ultimately needs to decide whether being Anna's puppet and furthering his career or finding out the true nature of the V's is most important. The sad thing is, he wears such a ridiculous amount of make up the viewers will never actually know if he is indeed an alien. Not a V. Like a legit alien from another planet in real life. He's actually kinda cute, but he has that Oprah effect. Like what the f does he look like without his face on? Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell also stars as an FBI agent who joined the 5th Column. The beauty is, you never know who to trust and who is a human or a V. Kinda like men. I know this show hasn't received enough attention, but it has been renewed for another season. So all my sci-fi friends and nerds out there, definitely make this your next show to add to the list. It gets better every week and is unlike any show I've ever seen. And I like it. It has a very different concept of aliens. We always assume they are green and slimy. What if aliens really did look just like us? Would we hang out with them? Would we take them home from Murphy's or Beumonts? Or would we even know they were aliens? There is a very good possibility that I am indeed an alien. I don't think I'm like most girls, or humans for that matter. I know for sure Bridget isn't. Her skin is far too pale to be human. And the most interesting part about the V's is that they can't sense or feel human emotion. No sadness, so happiness, no fear, no nothing. Like what would they feel when intoxicated? Besides veryyyy unsteady. Not worth it to me.

No wonder they drool when she speaks...

the vampire diaries

So the world is covered in blood right now. Vampire mania. Twilight. True Blood. A million books that try to repeat the Twilight pattern. And most recently the CW's The Vampire Diaries. I'm not gonna lie. I watch it. I love vamps. I wouldn't mind getting bit. And by I wouldn't mind, I mean I want to get bit. Now. Yesterday. So I'm watching tonights episode of The Vampire Diaries and I can't help but wonder why. Why the hell am I watching this crap? Years ago before the first Twilight movie was even made, I was a major Twihard. This is before everything with a vagina became obsessed with the bloodsuckers, so I really enjoyed it. So I moved on to the next best thing and read The Vampire Diaries series. Nothing compared to Stephanie Meyer's words and the images that ran through this little head. Now True Blood is a little different. Those vampires are badass mofos who don't care who they kill and I love it. They're a mans vamp. Don't get me wrong I love Edward Cullen more than the next girl, but honestly what is with this new vampire trend? Edward is the sweet vampire turned animal killer as to not harm any innocent humans. Stefan Salvatore, of The Vampire Diaries, is the same man with a different name. They follow this pattern. Hot vamp turned "vegetarian" and nabbing the emo girl that shares the same personality as a wet mop. Bella Swam and Elena Gilbert are just about as fascinating as watching paint dry. But of course they get the hot vampire every girl yearns for. Why? Honestly why wouldn't the men that can live forever and never age date some hot girl with an actual personality? Beats me. Now since I literally have no life I'll probably watch season 2 of The Vampire Diaries strictly for Ian Somerhalder. Love him. He plays the badass brother vamp, Damon, who just wants to fuck up the town and murder girls. He's the Eric Northman of Mystic Falls. And all the ladies know I lust for Eric's bite. I love it. Damon Salvatore's not pretending he doesn't have the need. And honestly, I know my vegetarian is different than a vampires vegetarian, but if not eating meat is similar to not drinking human blood, then I know exactly what kind of vampire I would be. Me, Bridget, and Maj without meat for a day, let alone a lifetime. Good luck to all you innocent mortals, because you're gonna be looking just like a hot dog to us. I mean her name isn't Hillary "Hot Dog" Stevenson for no reason. Anyways, I'm just wondering when this vampire craze will bleed out. The Twilight saga will come to an end in 2012, so they still have some time in the spotlight. And yes, it is a phenomena that will never be forgotten. I'll be at the midnight shows when I'm 25 no doubt. True Blood will continue because it gets the male audience just as much as the female. But The Vampire Diaries and all these copy books and shows need to take a few steps back. If even me, one of the biggest fangbangers you know sees an end, its gonna get old. I'm enjoying the ride though. Just watched Edward himself on Oprah. He's so frickin' dreamy.

Bella Swan or Wet Mop?

iron man 2

There's a problem with movies that begin a franchise and pleasantly surprise the first time around. Even bigger results are expected in the sequel. They seldom ever achieve the greatness of the first. Except when I was born. I was the sequel to my brother. The second born. And I'm the best. When Iron Man came out in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. was just returning from his hiatus of his drug binge and no one quite knew what to except. Reviews were great and everyone loved it. Now 2 years later everyone wants the same quality and reviews. It's way to hard to achieve. Overall I enjoyed Iron Man 2. Part of me felt like I was watching explosions for 2 hours straight, but take it as it is and it's a good action movie. The plot overall was decent. Mickey Rourke's character Ivan was a badass Russian who wanted revenge on Tony Stark because of his father's actions. This actions were not exactly something I would kill because of, but some people overreact I suppose. Do I think it was odd that an ex-con covered head to toe in tattoos happened to be a genius who could recreate the Iron Man suit and needed to bellow in angst? Yeah a little. But I have to say he was my favorite character and I wish I saw a little more of him in the movie. Mickey never disappoints. On to the next character. Tony Stark aka RDJ. His character is a narcissistic, yet very likable playboy celebrity, who happens to be saving the world. I understand this is his character and I do enjoy his antics, but sometimes the humor is just a little too much for me. When you have bad guys trying to murder you at every angle...don't bicker with Pepper Potts. It's not the time nor the place buddy. We had a little too much daddy problems and not enough real explanation to how your dad from afar is "communicating to you." We also had a few new additions to the cast this sequel. Sam Rockwell was a pussy who is trying to one up Tony. I'm a big Sam fan. Always have been. He's a puny little bitch, but I always had a major jones for him. Too bad in one of his first major scenes the only thing you can stare at is the fight he got into with self-tanner on his palms. Him and McGann need to have a proper lesson. Or just understand that not everyone was born as bronzed as me and Pauly D were. The other new additions were Samuel L. Jackson who happened to be wearing a black eye patch around the city and Scarlett Johansson who is a secret superhero. The movie could have gone the exact same way without these characters. Completely unnecessary. After doing some digging I realized its because they are making a new Marvel franchise from these 2 characters. Ask me if I care. In the end I felt a little unchanged. The entire theme of the movie was of security and trust in the Iron Man technology. In the end things haven't changed a bit and the questions are all still there. I mean this is Iron Man. It's no hard-thinking drama so I'll just shut up and let you enjoy it for what it is. I don't wanna give away any spoilers! I would definitely check out this movie if you liked the first or are interested in the comic book genre. Its entertaining if not anything else. RDJ looks good too. And I'm embarrassed to say this. But is it bad I was slightly turned on by Ivan's tattoos? Especially when he was wearing his undies in jail? Sorry about it.

I'm sorry but if we cut off his head I wouldn't hate this...
