Weekend Update (06/02/13)

I have been working quite a lot and add in the fact that I've been sick has changed my ability to keep up with the shows I like (and to blog about them). As I looked for newer episodes I basically found there weren't any. Everything is on hiatus or between seasons. I did watch a few movies though.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Dee had her baby, and it belonged to the tranny. Of course it did.

Game of Thrones - The imp married the 14 year old girl. There were some boobs and butts. And the fat boy apparently found a magic knife.

Movies - Hansel and Gretel - I thought this movie was pretty cool. I just didn't know witches had wicked ninja skills. And that's how trolls can be bitchin'.

Jack the Giant Slayer - You know, since I was apparently watching all movies involving fairy tales. Maybe it was the fever, but I liked this movie too. The giants were awesome and the climax of where the magic crown ended up was neat.

Extinction - This was a free rental from X-Box. It was still overpriced. This movie sucked, rambled on in several nonsensical ways, and ended with no conclusion. It was another one of those virus/walking dead type of movies, but had no plot, no direction, and no point. It made my fever feel worse...

Sports

Braves - Not to bore you with two weeks worth of stats, but since the last update the Braves have gone 9-4 to improve their record to 34-22 overall. They are in first place with the biggest lead of the year at 6.5 games over the Washington Nationals.

Bama Baseball - Played well enough in the SEC tournament to get a #2 seed in the Tallahassee Regional. Unfortunately lost their first game to #3 seed Troy 5-2 to put them in the losers bracket. In the elimination game they beat Savannah State, only to advance and lose to Troy again by blowing a 3 run lead in the ninth. Ouch. Season over.

Weekend Update (05/20/13)

 

Audio/Video/Telly

 

 Doctor Who - The Name of the Doctor. Okay, I am not going to throw any spoilers out just yet since it was the season finale. We learn the deal with Clara and I buy it. It works for me. We never learn the Doctor's name though and I thought that was kind of cheating. The end was extremely cryptic though. And I don't think we have seen the end of River Song.

 How I Met Your Mother - Look at the picture. Nuff said.

New Girl - What do you get when you introduce a live badger into an Indian wedding? Yeah. And now Schmidt must choose between his old girlfriend and CeCe.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Lethal Weapon 5. Exactly.

Game of Thrones - I feel like things are just dragging along. Something big needs to happen soon or they are going to lose me.

Movies - Star Trek Into Darkness. So this was the next summer blockbuster I have seen (the other is Iron Man 3). It was full of excitement in many parts and then I don't know what happened. I think they rehashed way too much from Wrath of Kahn and even though there were some twists, I felt like I had seen this movie before, just with different actors. It will make tons of money for sure (and Benedict Cumberbatch was awesome), but beyond that I wasn't really blown away.

Sports

Braves - They lost 2 out of 3 to the Diamondbacks, but rebounded by sweeping the Dodgers. Their record is now 25-18, which still has them in first place.

 Doctor Who - Nightmare in Silver. Oh boy, more Cybermen! Yeah, that was sarcasm. You know, I'm tired of them dragging up the same old characters over and over. This season has just been a dud to me so far. Next week looks promising though.

 Community - Alternate timeline evil Jeff (and sexy Annie) cross over to stop good Jeff from graduating and leaving Greendale. Yes, paintball guns were involved...

How I Met Your Mother - Mostly a Robin story looking for the locket she buried in Central Park as a young "boy". The rest is Barney playing laser tag with her dad. Ominous ending though.

New Girl - The day after. Jess and Nick waking up together and having to play it off because her dad shows up. CeCe is freaking out because she fell asleep on her henna hand tattoo and has it all over her face. Schmidt gets it on with her old girlfriend (who I like). And oh, it was Winston's birthday.

Big Bang Theory - Viva Las Dungeons and Dragons! The girls' Vegas trip is cancelled and they end up crashing the guys' D&D night. They end up combining both. Awesome impressions by Howard too.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Made my way into Season 5. This show is so "Mac". Day Man, fighter of the Night Man...

Game of Thrones - Right off the bat, I cannot tell you what the last episode was about. Let me go check again...

Oh yeah. Lots of finagling about who is going where or taking over this or that. That one dude is getting the crap tortured out of him by the guy from The Misfits. And that dude and the hot redhead chick climbed up the ice wall. I think they are starting to lose me.

Movies - At one point I felt tired of watching 20 minute episodes of stuff, so I went digging through my DVD's. The first I settled on was National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Civil War intrigue by Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris which led to the City of Gold. It was funnier but, not quite as good as the first one. And what was on page 47 on the Presidential book??? I was hoping there would be another movie to explain that. Ugh.

The next movie (since I have been playing non-stop Call of Duty) was Enemy at the Gates. This was about Russian sniper Vassili Zaitsev during the German invasion of Stalingrad. He was so badass that they had to send in the head Nazi sniper in to try and kill him. And wow, hey, there's Ed Harris again! Great movie. It's on my bucket list to go to the Museum of Stalingrad to see his actual rifle on display.

Sports

Braves - Started the week by taking 2 out of 3 from the Reds. Unfortunately they got treated rudely by the Giants losing 3 out of 4. Their record stands at 21-16, which is still good enough for first place, but not for long if they keep playing like that.

 Doctor Who - The Crimson Horror. It seems the Doctor is taking Clara places to find out what the deal is with her. Back to Victorian England and Jenny, Madame Vastra and Strax join in this episode. Now they want to know what the deal is with this girl that is and isn't Clara at the same time. No answers were revealed though. The end part with the photos was very cool though. That's all I'm saying.

 Community - Abed had worked out everyone's "origin story" so he could do a "prequel" episode about how they all ended up at Greendale. Lots of cool connecting the dots.

New Girl - The gang has a contest over who has the worst "deflowering" story. Funny stuff and so many one liners I might have to go back and watch it again. Oh and Jess and Nick finally do it.

Big Bang Theory - Sheldon almost kills one of his childhood idols. Howard and Bernadette babysit Raj's dog. That man is becoming what I warned you about in my post about online dating.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - I had watched some of this before but I got recently inspired to dive back into it. I love because it's so non-PC that it's "Mac". Yeah I'm trying to start a catchphrase there. So far it's included racial stereotypes, gay men, welfare, crack, terrorists, the handicapped, and Nazi's. And that's only the first six episodes. Yeah.

Game of Thrones - Several episodes in now and the only interesting thing going on is Khaleesi and her dragon army. I like the redhead chick north of the wall though. I was slightly creeped out by the soldier having his nipple cut off.

Movies - Nothing serious this week, just Iron Man 3. Lots of action. That man has a lot of iron man suits at his disposal. Pepper kicks ass, but I felt the movie was dragged down by the kid Tony befriends. Lots of great zingers from Robert Downey Jr. as expected. Oh, and he doesn't have the temperament to be that kind of doctor. LOL.

Sports

Braves - Started the week by winning the first two games against the Nationals, only to end up with a split by losing the next two. On next to play the Mets. Lost on Friday followed by a rain out on Saturday. Beat the crap out of them Sunday in which Tim Hudson, from my home town of Phenix City, AL, won game #201 in his career. Their record is now 18-12, still good enough for first place.
