but it's next week i really care about
Sep. 18th, 2006 11:54 pmWell, I'm glad that everyone will have seen the S60 pilot, now. I watched it anyway just to see what music had been added, if anything had been cut, etc. My main worry was that somehow "Under Pressure" would be gone, but it was not, and so I am happy. But, what was up with that fucking .com logo IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN? I am seriously sending NBC an angry e-mail. SO OBNOXIOUS. It makes me not want to watch ANYTHING on your network when you are that disrepectful not only of your viewers, but of your OWN SHOWS. UGH.
I also hope not too many people are too disappointed. This was the most overhyped show in the history of the universe, and this is where I remind everyone that I said all along that I thought the pilot was good, not amazing. High expectations can be a bitch. That last scene still gives me chills, though.
In any case, the previews for next week look so good and I am SO excited about that. Next week is when it really starts, baby! Yay.
Oh, and I loved this from the L.A. Times: Studio 60, I suspect, will be very much Perry and Whitford's show, both within and without. They're as good together in the two episodes NBC sent out as Martin Sheen and the late John Spencer were on West Wing, and their relationship is similar, the Kennedy-esque sense of hope here grafted onto the re-education of late-night TV. Awwwww. *sniffle*
I recommend reading Sorkin and Schlamme's post-show live blogging. Some good stuff there, including Schlamme making a geek WW-related joke about phone booths and this: "Tommy and I knew that Brad was the guy to play Danny from the beginning, but we were initially reluctant to cast him because he'd just gotten done doing seven years of some show about the White House. So we saw every other actor in town for the part and in the end agreed that talent wins. After shooting five episodes, I'm certain we made the right decision."
Also amused at the comments by upset Christians who turned off the show after Wes's rant. Um, a) thanks for both PROVING the point, LOLZ, b) it's too bad you didn't keep watching to find out one of the heroes of the show is a devout Christian, and c) why were you watching an Aaron Sorkin show anyway? Don't you know he's a crackhead whoremonger?
On another note, I've been disappointed since day one that Sorkin chose an SNL-type show as the backdrop for his new series, and that hasn't faded. Why, Aaron, why? Alas.
All in all, I was more excited about Brad being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today. That was delightful. He got Ellen flustered with his dirty talk. Heeeeee. Brad is a horny guy and he needs to call me. Funny underwear and go on a trip, indeed. I need screencaps! Especially of the sitting on the floor with his legs spread wide, yes. *nods*
Meanwhile, Prison Break was much fun tonight. All I really have to say is: of course he ate it. OF COURSE. Oh, Prison Break, how I love you in your complete cracked-out-ed-ness.
When I said I would have picspam tonight I apparently totally lied. Sorry. By Wednesday for sure.
