11.10.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: 90 BADASS MINUTES OF SAM CROW

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.

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.

Son of a bitch, I’m off my game today. I blame the booze.

I wouldn’t mind going south on her.

You mean the lack of booze, right Matt? I think someone needs to up his intake.

Yeah V baby! V!! Wooh! V! Baby!

Unfortunately, this time “V” stands for “Very poor acting”.

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.)

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.

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 anybody who need to be told what SAMCRO meant, welcome to manhood. And don’t even think about calling the club a gang.

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.

When did they move Arkansas to Appalachia?

Matt, you heard wrong about V. Way wrong. Check the review over at pajiba, it’s spot on.

Otto Man: have you been to Arkansas? While I might not be geographically correct, the Ozarks IS Appalachia. Trust me on this.

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, I found last night’s episode to be weak other than the last 5 minutes. Much of it felt like filler.

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!

“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?
