Man of the Year? Wasn't This Movie Out 4 Years Ago...

So, this Man of the Year movie staring Robin Williams has been heavy promoted for weeks. Here's my problem with it - isn't this basically the exact same movie as Head of State starring Chris Rock from like 4 yeas ago? I mean I think Chris wasn't technically a comedian but give me a break, the premise was basically exactly the same because whatever his profession, he was an undercover comedian. They are advertising Man of the Year like this is the most original thought for a script ever in life. I don't get it. Head of State was not a small independent movie that no one will remember, so it doesn't make sense that they would do such a similar movie so soon after.

Have movies gotten so bad that we are recycling ideas from the same decade? Cause that's just sad. They need to come up with something better than this if they want me to drop $10 at the movie theater when Netflix costs $18 for the entire month.

What's Up With Izzie?

Just watched the Grey's Anatomy from Thursday. They have got to snap Izzie out of this funk or give her less airtime, she drains the energy out of the scene with her depression. I get that only a few days passed on the show and a few months passed for us, but give me a break, she was "in like", not in love, since she'd never seen him once to my knowledge outside of the walls of that hospital. This is becoming obvious, hopefully even to her, since she didn't know Denny as well as she thought she did with the whole parents situation. And they are taking no steps to make her get over the death, like a funeral. Plus, I think she's been in the same outfit since getting up from the bathroom floor. What's up with that?

Also, why the hell are these people still interns? You're only an intern for one year, your fourth year of med school, and then you go into residency. We're on the third freakin season of this show, and they're still interns? Exactly how slow does time move in Grey's world?

Paris & Nicole: A Simple Life or a Drama Filled One?

So, what all of a sudden prompted this reunion between Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie? I mean, is there a new season of The Simple Life premiering in the next couple of months and I don't know it? Possibly, since I haven't bothered to check being that I could care less about that show. Maybe E! told the two of them to resolve their issues pronto because ratings were down. Who knows? I do know that everything points to the reason for the year long fight being Paris was totally pissed that Nicole was the real star of The Simple Life and Nicole wasn't willing to play second fiddle as a few of Paris' other friends might be willing to, but that hasn't changed, so what prompted the reunion? I'm thinking Paris has not been in the news with the same frequency as she was when her and Nicole hitting the clubs every other night. And when she has been in the news it is one infraction after another. I'm sure Paris will be playing this up for all it's worth any way she can, so as always with this glorified media whore, the story is to be continued...

Why Oh Why Is Everwood Not on CW?

Were you an Everwood fan? I wasn't, not because I never wanted to watch but it was always on when something else I was already committed to was on (or more likely the case when two somethings I was committed to were on). Then last year, I thought I would start, rent the DVDs from prior seasons and catch up that way, and guess what? Of course, it got cancelled, which I knew never should have happened even having not been into the show, but when has that ever stopped them?

Anyway, I began watching Everwood the day it began on ABC Family and man, is this a good show. Definitely wish it was still on, unless the quality goes down, and from everything I hear, if anything, the quality goes up. Well, I hope others who didn't watch it the first go around will give it a shot this time since it is definitely worth your time. Comes on ABC Family at 6pm EST.

Note to CW - Think about bringing Everwood back mid-season. From the looks of things, your premiere year is going to be anything but stellar so why not bring back a show with a devoted fan base? Just a thought.
