Sorry I missed last week. It was a bit busy with training and so forth for work. I am back with my syndicated weekly post about, well, shit I like. Let's get this thing started.First off, Up came out on dvd this past week. What the what?!? You dont know what that is? I have actually talked to people this week who had no clue what the hell I was talking about, fool! (Never end a sentence with a preposition!). I smacked those bitches. Up is another brilliant Pixar stunner with an emotional resonance that builds straight from the tearjerker of a beginning through to the literal metaphor of a man carrying his entire life on his back. What can only be one of the best movies of the year if not a Best Picture contender, Up proves Pixar is the place to look for important filmmaking without fear of making the fantastical seem like real life.
So, a certain music video by a certain popstar that I dont normally like came out this past week. And I gotta say Lady Gaga surprised me. The video is downright extraordinary. Typically, I can't stand her for the refusal to wear anything but ridiculous outfits, but this time it worked for me. Plus, a side from that fact that occasionally she looks a little like Amy Winehouse, there are moments when she actually looks pretty. Who knew?

I found the pilot for V very interesting. I had to watch this one since it was part of the reason Elizabeth Mitch
ell bit the big one on Lost. I was very impressed with the pilot and plan on continuing to watch (unlike FlashForward). The show is intriguing and even timely. The aliens are bringing universal healthcare ideals, the reporter has no problem selling out to get the exclusive, etc. The effects looked pretty flashy for a TV show budget and the acting is rather strong, especially Mitchell.

Finally, I will probably be in trouble for saying I enjoy the new OneRepublic single. Yes, the band led by that guy (Ryan Tedder) who writes a bunch of songs that sound identical. Ask Beyonce, Kelly, or Leona and they will tell you all about that. Once again on "Good Life," he does his formulaic atmospheric pop sound with some hip-hop beats except now he throws in some acoustic guitar strumming. But I'll be damned if it doesnt make for an excellent pop song. I enjoy that he brings up how so much in life can be good but we, as people, cannot help but look for more. I like it, now let the hating commence.
