On TV...

Gone With The Wind, it's a movie known for the infamous line "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" and it's REALLY long.

Maybe I'm just a fan of 'happily ever after' movies, but is it just me, or does it's ending suck pure monkeys bottoms?

Today was the first ever time I've seen this movie, I saw it was on, thought 'oh, I haven't seen that' and sat down for what I thought was going to be 2 1/2 hours... until I read the TV guide properly and realised it was, in fact 4 1/2 hours (including ads), so I taped it, and finished watching it just now.

It had, in my opinion a very bad ending, it's like the writer just thought "well, this has gone on long enough, I'll just finish it here" and did, and left me hanging. I wanted to see Scarlet with Rhett, I wanted the happily ever after, and I got disappointed. Was it the point of the movie, to disappoint everyone who bothered to sit down and actually watch it? or was it to make us think? I don't know, but I definitely missed my happily ever after!

Speaking of Happily Ever After, is it just me, or is that Mini-series on TV3, 10th Kingdom, REALLY good? I love it, it's so fantasy with great make up, and effects, and clever thinking on behalf of the writers, it had me and a friend desperately rushing through copies of Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood today trying to work out names, and where they were, how to break spells and generally just reliving our childhood, we have our theory on the general theme of the whole thing, but it certainly is good from where I'm standing.

Well, that plus Ed O'Neil is brilliant as a Troll King! (oh, and while I'm here, does anyone know who/what/where the Huntsman is from?)

I must admit, the Christmas season TV is good, I've probably watched way too much of it, and the chances of me giving up my videos before the New Year are slim, I have become a TV Nazi for the week, and I'm damn proud of it!! :-)

I will NEVER.....

...get sick of watching goths bowling

NEVER

I know it's been around for a while but this ad deserves an award.... and it's even better on the big screen :-)

We all live on a yellow submarine

I've applied for the new season of Treasure Island.

Don't ask me why, cos I'm not quite sure

But it's worth a go I guess.

and why has only DebXena Voted for me? :( 'Cmon people, you know you want me ;P

The News or the Weather?

The return of Newsboy on a new TV2 series (minus his counterpart Havoc) on some snow programme, has stirred up something in me.

As a member of our generation, and being female, (straight female to boot) I find this TV host very attractive, as does many of my female friends, much to the disturbance of many of my male counterparts.

So imagine my surprise when I found out a friend of mine actually KNEW him!! Yes, Newsboy has a real name, and I know it!! Although I know I am not by myself in this, I feel like I am part of a special few.

Seeing his face up there on the small screen bought back memories, of racing out of Tuesday night leadership meetings in Rotorua to race home to see his face, with his counterpart, Havoc, making fun of everything and everyone. I also remember his trip to Rotorua and seeing my friends house on screen for 4, precious frames, and of course I remember the excitement and jealousy in the #rotorua channel on Undernet, as the female members watched a very lucky girl get her breasts signed by him on the Big Day Out special.

Yes, Newsboy is a person for many people to admire. The females, because of his delicate facial bone structure and wonderful voice makes us want to do anything he says. Males, because, well, what male wouldn't want chicks throwing their breasts at them for an autograph?

DISCLAIMER: Although I have categorised all females as to wanting Newsboy, this may not be true, some females may be gay.

DISCLAIMER #2: I am not, nor will I ever be homophobic.

DISCLAIMER #3: I just wanted a disclaimer #3.
