Hollywood: please make every movie like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Make a good story and don't worry about what is marketable. The market will seek good quality in the long run. How many copies of "rush hour II" did you sell? or what was the gate on "Tokyo Drift: F & F III?" not shit. Your current formula is for idiots. Indie movies are starting to outsell blockbusters on DVD sales. We want movies we can watch over an over. not crap that we walk out of of. Stop the stupidity. you have smart people working for you. Fucking goat ass.
After Cheers went off the air, I cried. Best sit-com ever, followed closely by Seinfeld, MASH, and Night Court. Now, I pretty much watch cartoons like Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, AquaTeen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, and the Venture Bros. Or news shows like 20/20, CNN stuff, and 60 Minutes (don't fuck with Mike Wallace). I love the History, Discovery, Learning, and nature channels. I also keep HBO just to see their serieses. I loved Sopranos and Oz, but Six Feet Under is the greatest thing ever called a TV show. It is heads and shoulders above everything else ever made.
Ad-nauseum, who isn't sick of me talking about "A Song of Fire and Ice?" Sick of hearing about it? well friggin' read it. Yes, it is very big. Lots of words. Just read it. No one, and I do mean no one, crafted a world better. Ever. This includes (suck in the gasp) Tolkien. Yeah, George's world is much more clever. If you are one of those "Wheel of Time" People, please find the nearest dirty public toilet and drown yourself in it. just so you know, Rand Al'Thor is a giant pussy and Sandor Clegane would whip his ass. You Robert Jordan freaks need to get off the thorazine and move on to something with better writing. I also enjoy non-fiction, but I go for Sci-Fi and Fantasy, because I live in the real world and would rather entertain myself with someone elses. My favorite book of all time is Watership Down by Richard Adams.
