Season 11: Vanderpump rules so far

-

We are about 10 episodes into Season 11 and nothing major has really happened. Sure, there was the revelation that Scheana and Tom Schwartz kissed, but other than that what really happened. The animosity and digs that Ariana and Sandoval are giving each other remind me of The War of the Roses. The dark comedy with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas about a divorced couple where the husband refuses to leave the house. We have the opposite in Ariana isn't willing to be bought out by Sandoval unless she gets everything on her terms. 

The biggest thing that I don't understand is why Sandoval is being portrayed as a victim and Ariana is being made into a bitch? She has every right to be angry. This is a guy who slept with someone who she thought was her best friend while she was away grieving. He's an absolute douche bag and doesn't deserve anyone's forgiveness right now. I don't like how Ariana is being told that she needs to work on her feelings and get over it. I'm sure if this happened to anybody else they would be as angry as she is. 

The one thing I'm missing this season is Lisa Vanderpump. I miss her chiding staff and also being a great listener and doling out advice. She has been hardly in many episodes, because SUR has closed which was the main setting of this series. I feel like it's time to close the book on this series. These folks are too old to be acting this way and what else is there for them to explore. We need a new cast of 20 year olds to be living messy lives in L.A.

Implications of interracial couples on TV

-
I noticed an interesting trend the other day on two of the shows I watch on the CW 90210 and Privileged. Both shows feature an interracial couple, one is straight the other is gay. One of the partners is African-American while the other is white. What disturbed me until last Tuesday (Feb. 10, 2009) was that neither couple was ever shown kissing on the lips. The camera would capture the kiss from a angle where you would see the back of someone's head. I found this annoying, because I've never seen this done. You always see at least the lips touching especially with straight couples. This had several implications for me. Was the censorship of these couples part of because we had a Republican administration in office at that time? Or could it be part of an even more disturbing implication that interracial relationship are on par with gay relationships. That they are things that shouldn't be promoted and have to be watered down to the point where it seems more like a friendshi

Oh boy, them Dodgers!

-
I know how all you Dodgers fans must feel. We're all disappointed they didn't make it to the playoffs. The only consolation is that there's always next season. I have to give some props to a few of the players. First, gotta hand it to Russell Martin. Love watching him play. He does a little bit of everything. He can do home runs, steal, get people out, and make amazing plays like almost falling into the dugout head first to catch a ball. He deserves all the awards he's gotten. I look forward to seeing him next year. Although he's at the top of my list for players I want to meet in person. Doesn't hurt that he dazzles these eyes! Second, Juan Pierre is a must keep. There's been a lot of talk about the younger players this season, but I don't think people should count out the vets. Juan Pierre is another player that I feel is exciting to watch. He stole 61 bases this year, and he is one of the hardest players to strike-out. So you can guarantee he will hit

One Line Slams

-
Bored out of my mind with nothing new to watch on TV, I rented some movies. I've decided to created a section called one line slams. Basically I give a one line description of what I thought sucked about the movie. Pirates of the Carribean: World's End This movie made me feel like the world was ending because it seemed like the movie would never end. Live Free or Die Hard CGI action sequences can't live up to the real thing. Rush Hour 3 You better rush and return without watching if you want to save a couple hours of your time.
