OMG TV: Gump II: Electric Boogaloo

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , ,

8:00 - Forrest Gump (AMC)

I had a final exam in a college history class that asked me to plot out a sequel to Forrest Gump, taking him up to present day.  It was actually a lot of fun, and involved all sorts of crazy stuff like Gump bumping into Monica Lewinsky in the White House bathroom and his son dying in 9/11.  Anyway, it’s still the same old movie on AMC, but watch it and then write your own sequel in the time alotted using your #2 pencil in the alotted space.  You may begin.

8:04 - Lucky Number Slevin (HBO)

So that’s where Josh Hartnett has been, other than really stupid dalliances into filmmaking by the New York Times.

10:00 - Boston Legal (ABC)

A girl turns down a guy’s marriage proposal on live TV.  Hilarious.  He then kills her.  Question: is that even funnier?  Answer: only if it’s on a Jumbotron.

Late Night

Dennis, or possibly Randy, Quaid is on Leno (as is P.O.D. - is it 1998?), some rando named Jarod Miller is on Conan, Anne Heche announces she asexual on Ferguson, and the other two members of my all-time favorite sexual fantasy, Cokie Roberts and Madeline Albright, are on Stewart and Colbert.

OMG TV: JLo fo sho

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , ,

Maid in Manhattan Well, I’m sure FX will have a good movie for us to highlight ton– what the? Maid in Manhattan, back to back? What luck! Well, just in case you already have MiM on DVD:

8:00 - The Iron Giant (HBO Family… West)

I am sick and tired of people yapping about Ratatouille. “Oh, it should have won best picture, it had the most heart of any film this year.” Cram a sock it it. The story was straight out of a mid 90’s Disney crapfest, with little hints of culinary interest as bait for the mindless yuppies who want to show that they’re not above a kid’s film.

9:30 - Back to You (FOX)

After lifting the same workplace situation as the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Back to You seems content to start cribbing plots as well. I’m sure no matter how much hilarity they try to wring out of a funeral setup, it won’t be as good as this classic.

10:00 - Quarterlife (NBC)

Hey guys, it’s a show about what twenty-somethings are really like! I bet they’ve got iPhones and blue jeans and everything.

Late Night

Letterman is about as varied as you can get: Courteney Cox Arquette, the NYTimes‘ Thomas Friedman, and Chingy feat. Ludacris. We wish that Dennis Quaid’s last name was Scrabble eligible, but we’ll have to settle for him being on Leno. Conan has tae kwan do expert Will Ferrell, the hilarious and hairy Rashida Jones, and stunningly beautiful Fred Simmons. On second look, I may have mixed those up.
