the Holiday
So a few weeks ago, I saw the Holiday the romantic comedy with Jude Law and Cameron Diaz. The premise of the movie sounded interesting I didnt realize that home swaping actually took place until I saw it on craigslist. So basically the movie is about two women who are going thru difficult times in their love lives, they both are looking for a change when they meet online, on a house swaping site. They both agree to the swap and of course like ever other romantic comedy they both fall in love. Like it happens that easily in life. Now what makes the movie really interesting is the message, Kate Winslet character Iris is in love with a guy who only sees her as a booty call basically. He only calls when he wants something or is convenient for him, and she runs to him each time. I remember thinking come on woman leave his ass alone. But then I was thinking how many times I have "sweated" a guy who didn't give me anything in return. Thru out the movie she develops more backbone and self confidence really in herself. So at the end she realizes how great she is and how she deserves soo much more. This movie could have easily been a guy hating movie, sending out the message all men suck.. but it doesn't the reality is yeah a lot of them are asshole but not all.
Relationships are so tricky and they shouldn't be. If people who be more honest and up front about what they want it would save so much heartache and pain. I usually watch a movie and enjoy it, I don't usually think about the real content. Their were a few times in the movie I told my friend I should have brought a note pad to take notes. In matter of fact I may go see it again and do so lol... To me the Holiday wasn't just a cute date movie but it was an empowering and inspiring movie that reminded me that I deserve the world and not to settle for someone who cant give you a star.

whats hot now..
The first half of the new Fall T.V. season is almost over, and I def have found more winners than losers, "Heros", "Ugly Betty" are gems. Not to mention "Grey's Anatomy", and "Desperate Housewives". Can you believe this is my first year watching Grey's? But there are two shows, that happen to come on the Sunday night that really take the cake.
"The Amazing Race" which is an oldie and "Brothers and Sisters" which is a newbie. Like Grey's this is my first time around catching "The Amazing Race", who happened to have just wrapped their 10th season this past Sunday. And I'm over the moon that my boys won the competition, I had been a Tyler and James fan from the start. The fact that they are hot probably played a big part in that also. Tho I am sad to see the show go, the upside is that it will be back in February with it's All-Star Edition.
You know I remember from back in the spring when there was talk about a possible new show for ABC called "Brothers and Sisters". All I knew was that Calista Flockhart was attached to the project and that was all I needed to hear. You have to be crazy not to have liked or at least seen an episode of Ally McBeal. But like the dramas on the screen there were a lot of behind the screen antics as well, writers in and out, actors being re casted, the pilot being shot, and re shot. With all of that said I was still eagerly looking forward to show, only knowing the basic plot. Basically the show gets picked up officially and months for it's premiere, the critics completey trash it. Thank god, people can think for themselves because "Brothers and Sisters" has become a breakout hit for ABC. The show has everything that a good family drama needs, A great cast(Sally Fields, Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffins - who I hated on Sixth Feet Under but love on here) great heart warming story telling and a gay son lol.
I didn't grow up with a close family and that probably has made me a tad bit cynical when it comes to "family love" idea. Btw this isn't a woe is me moment, just the point that every week after watching "Brothers and Sisters" I find myself longing for that happy yet dysfunctional family. Any show that can evoke that can of emotion out of me, now that's what I call good T.V.
"Brothers and Sisters" air Sunday nights following "Desperate Housewives"

phase it out..
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two weeks, I am sure you all have heard about the Michael Richards outbust. Now I have been debating for awhile exactly what I wanted to say, cause believe me I def have an opinion on the matter.
So basically Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) was doing a stand-up routine in LA, and some blacks guys started talking shit (surpise surpise) and that bastard went crazy and took it back to 1802; "Nigger this and Nigger that, and we should hang ya ass". Of course media had a field day with this,the public was shocked with disbelief.NIGGA PLEASE.. do you think Michael Richards is the only white man in America that feels that way? Hell No, he just happen to be the one that got caught on camera. Im not mad at him, or holding a grudge against him. I mean I never watched or liked Seinfeld anyways.
The interesting thing is that here in America we have something called Free Speech, you do not have to agree with what someone says. But they have the right to say whatever they want, no matter how irresponisble it may be. I know most people would not agree with what I say 9 times out of 10. But I have that right to say whatever I please. Now as a black male, I still dont care what he said, Why? because Im a not a nigger and that word does not bother me. There's is nothing associated with that word that describes me. I can think of a few other words but that is not one of them.
You know the way I see it, that if society really has a problem with the word. STOP USING IT. Im talkin to you rappers and street thugs, "whats up my nigga" ( Changing the ER to an A doesnt mean shit!) and wigga white boys "that's my nigga". You call yourself and each other that name so much, it has become cool, just like bitch. But dont let the wrong person call you that, then you are ready to fight or better yet you run out and hire high-profile attorney Gloria Allred to try and collect a quick pay day. Leave the man alone, he said it, he apologized, move on. Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton dont need to get involved, Mel(the jew hater)Gibson doesnt need to try and take up for him. Btw when did Mel Gibson get his crebitability back to be helping somebody out?
At the end of the day, only Michael Richards nows how he truly feel, but if he's racist, I wish he would just say yeah I dont like you, rather than blame it on drinking or stress or blah blah blah.. dont give me that shit. I mean I dont like Mexicans especially the ones who work in resturants and dont have good hygiene. It just pays to be honest.

goodbye allison
The first houseguest out this week was Allison, and I was really hoping it would have been Danielle. At least with Allison in the house the Season 6 group would have gotten broken up. But since Kaysar just won HOH tonight. It's pretty safe to say he def is going after my Dr. Will.. Damn im bummed out just by the thought. pic via cbs.com

MC presented the "Best Male Athlete" trophy to Lance Armstrong at last night's 2006 ESPY Awards, look for ESPN to air the show this wkend. pic via mariahdaily

so it begins...
Big Brother All-Stars Offically kicked off last night and I have to say. How In the HELL was Will not one of America's Choice??? And George the chicken fucker over Monica?? Not good Not good. Without a doubt my favorite player going into this game is Dr. Will and I dont see that changing, but it will be interesting to see how Will gets along with Howie and Kaysar. I know I had Danielle on my pick to come into the house, but that bitch has got to go... Already after just 50 mins she was got on my nerves, Monica def would have been a better rep for the black sistas than Danielle. I have to say over all Im damn excited about this season... Nothing like good summer tv. pics via cbs.com
Oh yeah again... GO WILL!!!

way to go Kudrow!
So this morning nominations were announced for the 58th Annual Primetime Emmys, overall there were quite a few snubs, a few surpises and of course the usual suspects. Now I have to say I dont watch LOST, but I hear it's a pretty good show. I mean with JJ Abrams behind it, I would expect so.. But a lot of people expected nominations for LOST and they got ZERO. No Best Drama no major acting noms. ZERO. Another ABC show that is batting ZERO. are the Housewives of Wisteria Lane. Wait I take that back one housewife got a nom.. Alfred Woodard who is a great actress but didnt have shit of a story.
Apparently a new voting system went into place to give 'other' actors and networks a chance to get recongized. I for one am happy with the outcome, I mean Desperate Housewives sucked ass this year, except for Marica Cross who def deserved a nom. I will say I am the most excited about Lisa Kudrow's nomination for The COMEBACK.. def one of the best comedies around.. Too bad HBO didnt see it that way.. Oh well here's the break down....
Outstanding Drama Series: Grey's Anatomy, House, The Sopranos, 24 and The West Wing
Outstanding Comedy Series: Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Scrubs and Two and a Half Men
Lead Actress/Drama: Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), Geena Davis (Commander in Chief), Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU), Allison Janney (The West Wing) and Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)
Lead Actor/Drama: Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Denis Leary (Rescue Me), Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU), Martin Sheen (The West Wing) and Kiefer Sutherland (24)
Lead Actress/Comedy: Stockard Channing (Out of Practice), Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle), Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback), Debra Messing (Will & Grace) and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine)
Lead Actor/Comedy: Steve Carell (The Office), Larry David (Curb), Kevin James (King of Queens), Tony Shalhoub (Monk) and Charlie Sheen (Two and a Half Men)
Supporting Actress/Drama: Candice Bergen (Boston Legal), Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy), Chandra Wilson (Grey's Anatomy), Blythe Danner (Huff) and Jean Smart (24)
Supporting Actor/Drama: William Shatner (Boston), Oliver Platt (Huff), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), Gregory Itzin (24) and Alan Alda (The West Wing)
Supporting Actress/Comedy: Cheryl Hines (Curb), Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives), Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds), Jaime Pressly (My Name Is Earl) and Megan Mullally (Will & Grace)
Supporting Actor/Comedy: Will Arnett (Arrested), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace)
Im sure HBO will clean up this year like years in the past, I mean with shows like The Comeback, Curb Your Enthusiam, and Entourage you pretty much cant go wrong.

im in search of
A good jean company. I have the hardest time in life finding jeans that I like. Either the fit is all wrong, or the color, or the style. Seriously when I go jean shopping it's like an all day event, I went to Buckle the other week and I spent a hour and a half just trying on jeans. Back in the day I was a fan of American Eagle because they use to make really nice quailty jeans, that fit and were stylist. Now all of their jeans seem to shrink after a few washes, plus the material isnt what it used to be. Now you are probably think I dont want to hear about this boys damn jean problem, that's fine I dont want to hear about your problems either. Basically if anyone has any suggestions as to what a good brand maybe.. Let me know thanks.
