Glee Review - I Kissed A Girl


I KISSED A GIRL


Alright so we start off this episode off and we quickly learn that it's about Santana getting outed by a rival in Sue and Burt's campaign.  (Anyone else find it odd that we never once saw this guy?)  But Santana's going to get suspended for slapping Finn due to the school's no violence policy to which Santana brings up a good point asking why students who throw slushies aren't getting suspended.  The answer?  Slushies aren't a weapon.  It's lame but it's an explanation.  But Finn steps up and all of the sudden says Santana didn't slap him.  Santana and everyone else are shocked by this but Finn tells Santana that he wants to kind of reunite the school's two glee clubs.

After this we learn that Finn has chosen a theme for the week.  What is this theme you may ask?  Lady Songs By Ladies.  Yep, it's all song about women and power sang by powerful women.  How do we start it off?  Kurt and Blaine sing Pink...

(thank you for saying it all Pink)

But let's not forget about what Glee does best, all the secondary story-lines!  Alright.  So Puck and Shelby are getting all up into each other.  Shelby calls Puck after the baby (like I care to know her name, I know it's a girl) falls and busts her lip open.  (Sure call a high school kid)  But then they go off and do it, Shelby thinks it's a bad idea again, and Puck leaves angry.  And where does good old Puck go when he's angry?  To bang Quinn.  (Good man Puck, good man)  But Quinn has other plans and is trying to get herself pregnant again and Puck is not having a bit of that.  (Good man Puck, good man)  But after Puck decides to stay and cuddle he tells Quinn of his and Shelby's doings.  (Dun, Dun, Dunnnnnnn!)  And oh yeah somewhere in there Puck sings Melissa Etheridge.  (Glee's way of saying, "Oh yeah, lesbian episode, you know what this needs?  Melissa Freakin Etheridge.)

(Yeah I Googled Miss Etheridge.  I thought she was dead.  Learn something new everyday.)

Now onto a storyline that I liked.  Coach Beiste and her man Cooter...Sorry but did nobody think that making the very manly lady love a man named Cooter...I'm just going to leave that one alone.  (She calls him Coot for the love of God!)  But in this episode we see something new...Sue.  Sue has a apparently had a wack at Cooter a time or two.  (Yeah I just wrote that.)  Sue's called him up and soon after we see Beiste catch Sue and Cooter out on the town.  Cooter tells Beiste that 's tried making moves but she just didn't seem interested.  Beiste is sad and leaves.  (For who could ever love a Beiste!)   Later on after Sue loses the election to Burt,  (I'm not making a big deal of it, the episode sure didn't.)  Beiste comes back in the room and tells Cooter that she loves him and she's not giving up.  Oh yeah, she sang Jolene (Beiste did.)  And you know what?  I really liked it.  Maybe the best song of the show!

But speaking of the best song of the show, let's go on to the worst.  Finn singing a slow ballad of Girls Just Want To Have Fun...I've never wanted to die watching TV before, way to go Finn you knocked something off my bucket list!

(I approached Cyndi for her opinion on Finn's performance and received this quote: "He did better than I thought he would.  I took up meth for that song and all he took was his masculinity.")

Finally.  The election came up.  Kurt lost.  Brittany won.  And Rachel stuffed the ballot box...Winning an election and not getting enough votes!  Who would support such a thing?!


But finally back to the main storyline.  Santana is confronted by a new jock who wants to bang her straight again and all of the glee club girls come out of nowhere like a swarm of killer bees and tell him to back off.  This leads into I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry.  No when I think of that song and those girls singing it I...I...I'll be back in a minute.

(I didn't get that joke)

But finally we learn that Santana's parents were okay with her being just how she is but she's got to go tell her grandmother and we get a great scene with her grandma just telling her to get out of the house and never come back.  The line that stuck out to me the most was Santana asking, "What's different about me now?"  Which was a good point.  I liked it.  Good scene.  Applause for Glee.

BUT THEN...

Kurt's accused of stuffing his ballot box.  (Snicker)  And then Rachel goes and confesses to it.  She's suspended for one week and...and...AND...

BANNED FROM COMPETING AT SECTIONALS

Let that shocker sink in and I'll see you for the next episode...


Overall Review for I Kissed A Girl : I liked it!  
 
(I still don't get it.)

Avatar Coming To Disney's Animal Kingdom


Okay, so Disney has partnered with the ever so conceited James Cameron to bring Avatar to Disney's Animal Kingdom.  Now anybody that knows me knows that I'm one of the biggest Disney fans around so I figured I needed to put my 2 cents in on this.

I'm all for Disney partnering with 3rd party companies.  I mean it gave us Star Tours and Star Wars Weekends, then we got the Indiana Jones ride and show.  Let's not forget my favorite 3rd party ride...

(This elevator goes directly too...The Twilight Zone)

So I'm not against them bringing a non-Disney thing into a Disney theme park.  I don't know if I'm okay with them devoting an entire land to Avatar though.  I'm sure Disney could do it justice and I think it'll be pretty cool to see the world of Avatar in person but I wonder how much staying power Avatar has.

I mean if you asked me I couldn't tell you a lot of facts about Avatar.  I mean I know the main guy's name is Jake and they look for Unobtainium (the most creative name for a rare mineral/gem/rock/whatever it is)  but other than that I really couldn't tell you much more.  (They turn into blue people and try to save a tree.)  I think Disney should've gone a different route.  I mean you have lands in Animal Kingdom devoted to different areas of the world and then you have Dino-Land which is okay cause they're proven to exist.  There was suppose to be an area devoted to mythical creatures but they scrapped it so we could go to Mickey's Cabana Land as I like to call it.  But does Avatar have the power to pull in people like Star Wars does?  I don't think so.  I think the new land will pull in people now and hopefully it will when the sequels come out but I don't think it's that popular of a movie.  I mean it's a big movie and everyone saw it but nobody talks about Avatar or wants to watch it over and over again like Star Wars.  If they had Avatar weekend at Animal Kingdom then I don't think people would go.

Overall I think Disney missed a major opportunity and I think if they were going to put a new land in Animal Kingdom then they should have went with the mythological creature land that's been on the back burner since the beginning of Animal Kingdom.  I think it's going to be much more popular than Avatar in the long one unless the sequels do just as well as the original then they might have something on their hands but as of right now I think the Avatar land will be just something else in the park, not a big attraction.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!


 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Who Is Kim Kardashian?

Did I spell her name right?  Honestly what does she do?  I just made a Google+ account and she's my "friend" or whatever that's suppose to mean.  And then I'm looking at Youtube Videos and I keep having to sit through adds of her yelling at someone saying, "Why do you find out your husband's in another country by Twitter?"  (Or something like that)

Honestly who cares?  What does this girl do?  Does she act/sing/...

...Oh, she's sort of hot and rich.  I understand now.

Where's Naomi?

Ok WWE, I've got one big question about this Divas division...well besides the fact that it's never paid attention to and I'm sick of this whole, "Beth and Natalya making people cry" storyline.  Seriously?

Where's Naomi?

(See she's even wondering what's up)

This girl has got the tools to make every Diva on this roster look bad.  (Or good depending on how you see it) Just take a look at a these matches :


Why has WWE waited this long to bring Naomi up?  All the NXT Season 3 Divas are on the roster some way but Naomi is still chilling in FCW.

I've heard rumors that she's traveling with them and there was a pic Zack Ryder posted on Twitter that saw a pic of Naomi in the official WWE Program :


Hopefully she can debut soon and actually breathe life back in this division but honestly I'm not sure if that's possible.  Here's hoping!

The Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack

Triple Steak Stack
It's a chicken flat bread sandwich, but filled with steak! (Or whatever it is Taco Bell puts in their food)

This little sandwich packs in a big 690 calories and a scary intake of 1950mg of sodium. But is it delicious? You freaking bet it is!!

Taco Bell is the Dr. Frankenstein of Mexican food but holy crap is it good! This creation is just the flat break filled with "steak" and 3 different cheeses.

I did however try this monster of a sandwich behind a man who ordered 3 of them. I thought it would be fun to see what this man just filled himself with :
2070 calories, 90 grams of fat, 39 grams of saturated fat, 36 grams of sugar, and a insanely scary 5850 grams of sodium. I found a picture of him just a week after this :


But just because you should, go out and try one! They are pretty freaking good, just pretty freaking bad for you.

J-Lo False Advertising?


Ok, so everyone who's been around a television has seen J-Lo's new Fiat 500 commercial where she drives it around shadyish neighborhood streets and talks about how this is her inspiration and all that crap...(If you love it so much then why didn't you stay there? Just saying, if you're still Jenny from the Block then...)

But turns out that J-Lo didn't actually go to the streets that she loves so much. E! online reports that body double did the driving and J-Lo just did the driving shots.

Now if you're like me then you're thinking, "A body double for a celebrity endorsing a car that nobody really wants, no way!" (Seriously, who went running out to be a freaking Fiat? Not me.) (Oh, a Fiat 500 Cabrio, excuse me, I forgot to care)

But when E! and others are claiming that J-Lo is committing false advertisement? Really? Did Britney drink a crap ton of Pepsi? Is Little Richard eating Zaxby's chicken by the bucket? The only person I have faith in is Flo The Progressive Girl.

(Buy some car insurance or I'll cut you)

But am I shocked that J-Lo had the body double drive around on the streets? No. Why? Cause she's a rich celebrity and they probably approached her saying, "You don't even have to drive it around...," or something like that. Who knows how much money she took in for it.

For anyone that would like to research this nail biting issue further here's the link to the E! News ariticle : http://www.eonline.com/news/Car_Trouble_Jennifer_Lopez_Fakes_Fiat_Commercial_With_Help_From_Bronx_Body_Double/276684


King of the Hill - I Miss Thee!

I really miss King of the Hill. I know it's in reruns but it's still one of my favorite TV shows. The character work might be some of the best in the history of TV. There's really not been one time that the show has had a character say/do something that's not them.


Plus it really irks me that the reason it was cancelled was to make room for the Cleveland Show which is the most God-Awful show I've ever seen...Well maybe not, I have seen Bob's Burgers and Allen Gregory. Okay, changed my mind, Allen Gregory is the most God-Awful show ever made. I've seriously never wanted to rip out my eyes and tear off my ears at the same time. (Guess there's a first time for everything) (Sorry Jonah Hill, get fat and funny again)

I did see this and it's pretty accurate...

But oh yeah, back to King of the Hill. I will miss the show. It's really good but I don't see it coming back just because I don't see them recasting Brittany Murphy, she was pretty perfect.

(playing sad song for King of the Hill)
