Seriously, you stop watching Mtv for a couple of months and you miss on brand new stupidity. Mtv being the stupidest channel on tv is no news, it really has no content, nothing you can learn from...or nothing worthwhile, the days of Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux and Unplugged are gone, all we have left is the minimal effort of what they call reality tv... The Music TeleVision channel is now trying to create hype to....MENUDO in a show aptly...(or ineptly) called....Making Menudo....basically its a making the band where all the cast are latino kids, and they are all...latino looking, and mix spanish with english...but more to the point....in this generation where pop stars fade like a dream in naptime WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT MENUDO? God, i think i was 5 when they were ending their careers...and the only song i know my mom used to sing to me it went something like..."subete a mi moto..." and then i added "comete los mocos"...after that the powers that be have continued to try to recreate menudo, even calling it MDO but it never sticks....like grase on tefflon, so now we have another bad "reality" (and yes you can picture me doing the hand gestures) show.
I still dont get what all the fuzz is about with this completely mindfuck of a shoe "The Hills", im sorry but if you watch the hills you deserve to be called a complete idiot, i dont know who the fuck would watch like a zillion seasons of the same shit. I personally think that after like 5 seasons those bitches would get tired of talking about cars, hairdo's restaurants and clubs and start talking about life, politics, religion and philosophy. But it serves me right for believing the world's a good place.
Mtv should just cease to exist.(period) really, with all the fake reality tv shows and "the real world" thats just as tired as my great, great grandmother carlotta, and dont even get me started on the dating shows "next" "parental control" "room raiders" and the other show where the guy is being tested with a lie detector...if you believe thats real as you watch it...then you're stupider than i thought. I really do think that mtv is whats wrong with this generation...Mtv has been putting shit into america's youth and put it into a state of deep thought lethargy...and taught us that all that really matters is the stuff thats on the outside...money, houses, hairdo's, fitness etc.

It's October, we're already 3 episodes deep into heroes and its starting to pick up, House is kicking so much ass its impossible and last friday i saw perhaps the most beautiful and visually engaging movie i have seen in a while: Across The Universe.
Across the universe is this musical about the lives of a group of friends during the '60s...their loves, their triumphs and losses, all with kickass songs by the beatles. This movie is about love, love above all things and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles, yes its not the type of movie a very cynical and jaded S.O.B. like me would watch, but once i saw the trailer for the movie and all that beautiful psychodelia i knew i had to go watch it. I was very surprised by it.
Now, when watching a musical one has to analyze the acting or should i say the singing? because what these characters say when they're not singing is just...stuff thats between the lines, the message is conveyed always in the song (to my opinion), but just the characters singing is part of it, for the message to be fully conveyed and interpreted by me (or the audience) i have to look closely to the dance scenes...yes the coreography...its amazing how interpretative this dance moves can be...and last but not least...the props, the stage everything...its all part of the magic...and this movie had it in spades. I think Julie Taymor is indeed a visionary, she brings the best elements of theatre to movies...and she brings stuff that was cool in FRIDA to this movie. Across the universe is a visual orgy of tantalizing wonders (my critic's word for this movie) and i wouldnt be surprised if i see it again
