Sons of Anarchy (FX) — 90-minute season finale episode. I’ve seen some people wondering about the SAMCRO acronym the Sons often use. The answer: Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original. As in, the Charming branch is the original charter for the national club. Dude, without this or “Mad Men,” I’m gonna need a new addiction. What’s this I hear about “NCIS: Los Angeles”? LL Cool J, you say? Sign me up!
V (ABC) — I spaced and forgot to DVR this last week, but I heard good things. The one complaint seemed to be that they were a little too quick on the lizard-people reveal. I plan on tuning in tonight, then tuning out as soon as “Dancing with the Stars” comes on.
The Hills (MTV) — OMG! Are Brody and Kristin getting back together?!? Answer: NO. IT’S NOT REAL, YOU JACKASS.
Melrose Place (CW) — Nice try, but firing Ashlee Simpson isn’t enough to save this show.
Dirty Jobs (Discovery) — Mike goes to Appalachia this week, working with dung beetles in Arkansas and glass art in West Virginia. Too bad he can’t visit a meth lab — that’s an actual dirty job I’d be interested to learn more about. For, uh, strictly intellectual purposes, of course.
Starz Inside (Starz) — “Sex and the Cinema.” Richard Roeper hosts the special that looks at erotic milestones in cinema, featuring interviews with Jennifer Tilly (Mmmmm… Bound), Dominique Swain (Lolita), and Paul Verhoeven (gigantic pieces of cinematic crap with lots of tits). Preview clip after the jump. Might be worth watching. Too bad you don’t get Starz.

“For anybody who need to be told what SAMCRO meant, welcome to manhood.”
Seriously? On the big list of “WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN”, you think that “Knowing some what some acronym from some TV show means” is near the top?
You didn’t like the Chibs subplot? Or the scenes with Jax talking to Piney and Bobby Elvis? Tigs tripping balls on shrooms?
Boo to you. BOO!
Otto, I found last night’s episode to be weak other than the last 5 minutes. Much of it felt like filler.
Oh, a college girlfriend was from small town Arkansas. I know that state is a place that time forgot. (Indoor plumbing forgot it too.)
Back to the important topic — how the fuck does SOA get better every episode? They’re getting close to pure, distilled awesome.
Otto Man: have you been to Arkansas? While I might not be geographically correct, the Ozarks IS Appalachia. Trust me on this.
Matt, you heard wrong about V. Way wrong. Check the review over at pajiba, it’s spot on.
When did they move Arkansas to Appalachia?
Also in defense of the movie version of Starship Troopers: Neal Patrick Harris. Still, though, that movie did suck ass.
If “V” had included a cameo from Marc Singer, or even Michael Ironside, or I guess maybe if they had made Michael Donovan’s character into a blogger instead of a journalist, I might have given it a shot.
For anybody who need to be told what SAMCRO meant, welcome to manhood. And don’t even think about calling the club a gang.
re: V… I said to a friend that I was looking forward to that hacky old show getting the “serious” Galactica treatment. But I didnt expect it to BE Galactica. Complete with (SPOILER?) the sleeper agent cylons–I mean V’s– who came here years ago to lay the trap. Pass.
FOR Verhoeven: RoboCop, Total Recall (I consider Basic Instinct a push)
AGAINST Verhoeven: Showgirls, Starship Troopers, Hollow Man
I’ll never forgive Verhoeven for ruining Heinlein’s best book after Stranger in a Strange Land. I can’t believe Verhoeven made Starship Troopers about fascist propaganda. The book is a terrific take on small-unit military leadership that makes some pretty salient points about the importance of the military and the value of suffrage. The movie was an abortion.
That redheaded chick did have some awesome tits, though.
I can’t exactly disagree with your assessment of Mr. Vorhoeven’s movies, but I seem to have an affinity for his particular version of cinematic crap.
/plans to watch Total Recall yet again when I get home tonight
(And, Black Book is actually an excellent movie.)
Yeah V baby! V!! Wooh! V! Baby!
Unfortunately, this time “V” stands for “Very poor acting”.
You mean the lack of booze, right Matt? I think someone needs to up his intake.
I wouldn’t mind going south on her.
Son of a bitch, I’m off my game today. I blame the booze.
Ok, I’ll be the first to say it then. I would still totally bone Jennifer Tilly. She’s one adolescent crush that hasn’t gone South.
Sons of Anarchy is not the season finale tonight, just an random 90 minute episode. I think it’s on for 3-4 more weeks after this. The season finale is supposed to be 90 minutes as well.
