did you not get attention as a kid?

Random thoughts to begin the week:

The movie Super is sort of like Dark Knight-esque version of Deadpool. The Real Housewives of Orange County= 13 year old brats that never grew up. Why the hell is there going to be a Grown Ups 2?

The more I watched Super, the more I found myself comparing Rainn Wilson’s character, The Crimson Bolt, to Deadpool. Maybe it’s because I’m sick and tired of waiting for a full film adaptation of the character, but I think the comparisons are interesting nonetheless. Both, mentally unstable and increasingly violent characters, it didn’t hurt that their suits were pretty similar. In fact, I think I’d even go as far as to say that I’d be interested in seeing Mr. Wilson take the title role in a Deadpool film, if they ever get around to making it. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it, so long as you can get past the violence and intense gore toward the end of the film. It’s surely not what I expected from “Dwight Schrute,” but I was in no way disappointed with it, and it’s definitely worth checking out.

Tonight, I decided to be a good boyfriend, and I’m attempting to sit through this show that she likes so much; The Real Housewives of Orange County. About 4.5 seconds in, I began to regret this sacrifice. And boy was this ever a bad, bad choice. How is this on TV? I don’t understand how I could live in a world where shows like Twin Peaks and Arrested Development were canceled, but shows like this thrive. How stupid are the people of the world? These “women” are basically just teenagers that were never forced to mature. Like, seriously, 40+ year old women saying “BFF,” WITHOUT SARCASM. I’m embarrassed for empty headed bimbos that don’t realize how ignorant and stupid they look on television, and I’m embarrassed for the people that eat this trash up. At least it gave me something to complain/write about. UPDATE: One of the idiots on this show just said, in regards to a fellow moron, “What, did you not get attention as a kid?” Kettle, meet pot.

Seriously, how can Adam Sandler afford to keep putting out these crappy movies? Does he really still bring enough people in because of his name recognition? I just don’t get the entertainment business, I guess.
