What am I watching on Netflix right now???

Leave a comment

Since I’m all caught up watching, “Sons of Anarchy” on Netflix (which is an amazing show, by the way), I had to pick a different TV show to watch. So I just started re-watching, “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. Just finished watching “Season 1” of Star Trek: TNG. I still remember each and every one of those episodes too! I used to watch Star Trek: TNG obsessively when I was a kid. Yes, I’m a Trekkie, as some of you know. I’ve been a die hard Trek fan, my entire life. Still am too.

I want to watch all the Star Trek shows on Netflix. That includes, “Deep Space Nine”, “Voyager”, and “Enterprise”.

I’ll never forget the day when I visited the “Star Trek: Exhibition” museum when I went to San Diego, California several years back. That was a pretty amazing time. I got to see the replica of an Enterprise bridge from the original series, and the transporter room. Cool stuff. I may have a photo or two somewhere.

Anyway, there are so many shows, I want to watch on Netflix. I want to watch, “Xena: Warrior Princess”, “Macguyver”, “X-Files”, and maybe a few others.

I still don’t get all the Netflix hate. I think it’s the coolest thing ever created. I will always support them. Netflix, is definitely 10x’s better than cable TV! They have excellent selections of streamable movies and TV shows. Netflix will be around for a very long time. I don’t think it will ever die.

Howard Stern vs. Lena Dunham thoughts…

1 Comment

I love Howard Stern and all, but I think he really went over the line when he made fun of Lena Dunham’s weight. In my opinion, I think Lena is a gorgeous girl. Probably one of the most beautiful celebrity women out there. Lena is a natural beauty. I hope she keeps it that way. Lena is more real than all the other celebrity women who are mostly plastic surgery and full of breast implants. Not with Lena though. I’m pretty sure, Lena is all natural.

I respect the hell out of Lena. In fact, I’m a huge fan. I love her show, “Girls”. She has a lot of guts to show her naked body for the world to see. Yes, she maybe a little obsessed with nudity, but there is nothing wrong with it. These are the kind of women I like. The natural women. I would even date her, if I could.

She just wants to express herself, and Howard was wrong what he did. Glad he admitted it.

“Girls”, really is great. Check it out yourself, sometime.

Jodie Foster wasn’t worthy of the Cecil B. DeMille award anyways…

Yes, I did watch the Golden Globes last night. I was pretty happy with most of it. The awards went to the right people, I thought the winners gave great acceptance speeches but of course, despite Jodie Foster’s trainwreck of an acceptance speech when she won the Cecil B. Demille award, I didn’t think she deserved that award to begin with. Why? Because she was never that great of an actress and director to begin with. I only liked a few of her films in her career. For example, she was good in “Taxi Driver”, “Silence of The Lambs”, “Nell”, “The Beaver”, and “Panic Room” were good. She’s not worthy of that award. I thought it was pretty insane to give it to her.

There are plenty of other more deserving actors, actresses, and film directors who deserve to get it. Meryl Streep never got hers yet, hers is long overdue. There are plenty more to name.

Last night’s Globes was an okay show.

HBO’s “Girls” is a really great show, and I’ll admit, I’ve watched most of season 1. That show is what I’ll watch when “Game of Thrones” is over with on Sundays. Lena Dunham and “Girls” deserve all the praise. I want to get the first season of “Girls” on DVD soon. “Girls” is pretty addicting.

“Homeland” on Showtime is a great show too, even though I only watched that show a little bit, not back to back. I’ll follow the rest of that show soon.

Report: “Dexter – Season 8”, which could be the show’s final season, will air sooner than you think…

Leave a comment

Showtime announced some major news today, that they will air, Dexter “Season 8”, this summer premiering on, June 30th. The show, “Dexter”, is usually aired in the Fall, around Sept./Oct. Look like they really want to tell the story for Season 8 to everyone, so they got to be airing the next season early for a reason. “Season 7” just finished not too long ago and it did end with a shocker. “Season 8” could supposedly be the shows final season ever, so it will be interesting to see where the story is going to go from here.

See the announcement, here.

2013 is looking to be a great year for TV. “Walking Dead” returning in Feb. “Game of Thrones” is coming back at the end of March, which is what I’m excited for. “Breaking Bad” is returning in the summer. Looking forward to all these shows returning. Love all these shows!

Look like it’s going to be another big year for Spielberg at the Oscars…

Leave a comment

Not surprisingly, Spielberg’s “Lincoln” picks up the  most nominations at the Oscars. And it looks like “Lincoln” will win Best Picture and Spielberg will win for Best Director, no matter what happens. If Spielberg wins, which he probably will, this will be his third time being the big winner. His other two Best Picture winners were for “Schindler’s List”, and “Saving Private Ryan”. It is deserving, ’cause “Lincoln” was a really good film.

While I would like Hugh Jackman to win his first Oscar for “Les Miserables”, it’ll probably end up going to Daniel Day-Lewis instead.

I like the nomination selections this year for the “Oscars”. I’m glad “Django” got the Best Picture nomination as well. Leo Dicaprio got snubbed for his role in “Django”, though. Kind of disappointed in that. Leo seems to always get snubbed at the Oscars.

Other snubs, “Skyfall” for Best Picture. “Moonrise Kingdom” also got the snub. I’m sure there are plenty of more snubs. Can’t think of more at this moment.

Yep, “Lincoln” will probably sweep everything, though. While I would like “Les Miserables” to get the big win, the only winner for that will be for Anne Hathaway’s performance. I predict Anne Hathaway will get the win for Best Supporting Actress, no matter what happens.

“Lincoln” was a very good movie though, and definitely one of the best films of 2012, it deserves all the awards. Plus, “Lincoln” was based on a real life thing and educational. Something real.

Cool Video: Heart performs “Stairway” at Kennedy Center honors…

Leave a comment

There was live music at the Kennedy Center Honors but Led Zep didn’t perform, of course. Instead, they had other artists perform for them. Here is Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, performing “Stairway”, with an unknown band and Jason Bonham on the drums. It was a killer performance, but my only negative was the choir. You see, I’m  not knocking the choir, I  think they did great but the choir wasn’t needed. I think it was just there for show. “Stairway” doesn’t really need a church choir backing the song up. Ann could have sang the song fine without them. I’m not saying the choir sucked, it just wasn’t needed, that’s all. I mean, a lot of people mistakenly wants to believe that “Stairway” is a religious song, but I never thought it was a religious song and I don’t think that was Robert’s intention when he wrote the lyrics.

A lot of people are talking about Robert’s emotions when he’s watching the performance, trying to fight back tears. Um, I don’t think Robert’s the only emotional one here. All three of those guys: Jonesy, Robert, and Jimmy looked like they were about to cry. Even Jason too.

Other than that, this was a phenomenal performance. If  they got rid of the choir, the performance would have been even better.

I also loved the look on Jimmy’s face when that guy in the band started playing the guitar solo. The look on Jimmy’s face is priceless. Jimmy is probably saying to himself, “This guy is better than me, damn!”

Enjoy!

“Game Of Thrones” Season 3 gets slightly expanded for some episodes…

1 Comment

I love this show, “Game of Thrones”, and can’t wait for this show to return at the end of March. For the past 2 seasons, there have been 10 episodes each for about 50 – 52 minutes, but this season some of the episodes will be slightly longer. No longer than 60 minutes. That’s pretty cool ’cause book 3, “Storm of Swords”, is a pretty long book and they want to try and fit in as much as possible. Especially the important scenes like the “Red Wedding” for example, which is for sure, going to be a pretty big scene. “Thrones” is one of the best shows on TV, and I’m going to re-read “Storm Of Swords” in time before Season 3, so I can be reminded of the plot. This is such a great show.

And yes, I’m a huge Viking and Medieval nut. Love that stuff!

Dexter “Season 7” brief review…

Leave a comment

Well, Dexter “Season 7” is already over. I would have to say that this was the best season so far! This is a very addicting series. The stories, keep you wanting more and more!

I don’t want to give away too much, but to give you a little preview, this season leaves off from where Season 6 ended. It starts where Dexter is about ready to kill the villain from the last season, yet Debra who is Dexter’s adoptive sister, catches him. She now knows Dexter’s secret. She now knows that he is a serial killer. Dexter reveals all his secrets to Debra, how his father taught him, “The Code”, and all that stuff. Debra doesn’t turn Dexter in ’cause she loves him and wants to protect him. There are two new characters introduced this season. Two other villains by the name of Hannah, who is also a killer. Her killings is a little different than Dexters, she loves to kill people with poison, but Dexter and Hannah ends up falling in love with each other throughout the season, which makes Debra jealous and angry. The other villain is by the name of Isaac Sirko (who is played by the great Ray Stevenson), who is the leader of a Russian crime gang. He is after Dexter, ’cause he killed one of his mobster members named, Viktor. Dexter killed Viktor, after Viktor killed a stripper at a nightclub. While Dexter continues to do his thing, by killing bad people that fits, “The Code”, Debra is struggling with her emotions ’cause she’s trying to deal with her brother being a serial killer, and all.

This was a pretty strong season. The writing was at it’s best. The season got pretty crazy and very dark. There’s quite a bit of shockers, especially the ending for the season finale. I don’t want to reveal it, but could Dexter have a serial killer partner for season 8? I’m not saying who, but you’ll figure it out. I can’t believe we have to wait for another year, to find out what happens after ’cause the ending of season 7, was definitely a, “WTF”, moment. Dexter seems to be getting better every season.  It is a pretty intense show. If you haven’t started watching this, you must. You’ll be addicted quick. It’s kind of too bad that it’s on Showtime ’cause not a lot of people get that channel. I think this show should be on HBO instead. Would get a lot more ratings. This season had Michael C. Hall’s best acting too. He is one of the best TV actors, I’ve seen, and sooner or later, he’s no longer going to be a TV star. I can see him landing some big movie roles in the near future. Season 7 was amazing, and already looking forward to Season 8.

Report: Netflix will finally get Disney for a three year deal in 2016!!!

Leave a comment

This is good for Netflix! In 2016, Netflix streaming services will finally get Disney films for a three year deal. That includes streaming everything Disney… from classic films to new films, live action and animated. It also includes all the Marvel superhero flicks and the Pixar films. Lucasfilm too, probably? I would think. It’ll be cool if Netflix will stream all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies.

Other movie studios and TV stations have avoided Netflix for years, and looks like Disney has their back. Nice to see! More kids will be watching Netflix, and they deserve this.

Netflix is the coolest thing on this planet. It’s better than cable TV!!! Whenever there’s nothing on TV, I’ll watch a TV show on Netflix or a movie. I know Netflix gets a lot of criticism ’cause of their price raise, but I’ll always stay loyal to Netflix. It’s a good service, even though I wish they would improve the sound quality.

Led Zeppelin interview on David Letterman last night…

12 Comments

I stayed up to watch the Led Zeppelin interview on Letterman, and it was pretty funny and humorous. The guys in Led Zep have a good sense of humor. Of course, Robert and Jimmy did the most talking, though. Jonesy stayed quiet throughout most of the interview, although, he did crack a few jokes. They talked about the stuff that I predicted the other day with the interview. Just the Kennedy Center award, the career of Led Zeppelin, and the Celebration Day release. David Letterman, didn’t ask the band any upcoming reunion questions, which is weird. Letterman must have been told by the band that he couldn’t ask upcoming reunion questions. Which is understandable, the boys in Led Zep must be getting sick of the reunion questions, already! It was still a great interview, though. The dudes in Led Zep, seem like they’re very good guys.

Led Zeppelin has more interviews coming up, as they will be on Charlie Rose soon which  I don’t know the date they’re gonna be on yet, and I just found out this morning that Led Zep will have an interview for the next Guitar World magazine, as  they will be on the cover for the next one.

With all this hype of the Celebration Day release and Led Zep refusing to talk upcoming reunions, it’s giving me this feeling inside that another reunion might actually happen after all, and I’m sure it’s giving other fans this feeling too. Maybe the band is just waiting for the right time to announce it?

Edit to add: Here’s the video of the interview from last night, to those who missed it.
