Here’s a song Robin introduced me to back in college. It’s called Every Litte Thing by Dishwalla. It’s my I-hate-being-single-but-its-my-own-damn-fault song. It’s a great song. Enjoy! In related news: TV is awesome.

The video is boring, but there’s no official video, so it was either this or a tribute to Jack and Kate from LOST, which I refuse to support because Kate should be with Sawyer.

Netflix #25 - Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang - Suggested by Michelle and Jeff

Wow. The was by far one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer made an awesome team as a conman and gay private detective respectively. Not only was it hysterical, but the mystery/thriller aspect was hugely engaging. I love when a comedy takes it plot seriously, and doesn’t resort to a cookie cutter plot just as a means to tell some jokes. It also reminded me a lot of Family Guy and 30 Rock with its cutaway flashes of random humor. Plus Robert Downey Jr.’s narration was priceless. You need to see this movie immediately!

Netflix #26 - August Rush - Suggested by Irisgirl

This one took a while to win me over. I watched it for the first hour absolutely unimpressed. My cold, black heart wasn’t budging one bit. I thought it was ridiculously cliche and annoying. Plus Robin Williams’ storyline was not what I expected at all, and I absolutely hated the whole musical Lost Boys thing he had going on. But as the second hour progressed, my heart started to thaw and by the end I enjoyed it. I still don’t think it’s that great of a movie because of the kinda lame first hour and Robin Williams (who I normally love) but it was a cute little movie. Also: How gorgeous is Keri Russell?

Iron Man

What else is there to say about Iron Man that you haven’t already heard? It’s an incredible comic book movie on the same level as Batman Begins (although Batman Begins is still the pinnacle of comic book movies). I guess what I can say about the movie that you may not have heard yet is that it will make you like Gwyneth Paltrow again. I mean, after she nearly ruined the otherwise awesome Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow with her atrocious acting and then named her kid Apple, I was all set to be annoyed by her mere presence in the movie. But she came across totally cute and charming. There. Now go see it. Not just for me, for Gwyneth.

My Recommendation to You: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

You guys are nice enough to give me loads of recommendations, so it’s about time I returned the favor. So I gladly present you with a 2001 movie you’ve probably never heard of called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. It’s a throwback to the really bad science fiction movies of yesteryear. It’s absolutely ridiculous and wonderful. I’m not sure if it’s exactly laugh-out-loud funny, but I had a huge smile on my face the entire time I watched it. Here’s the trailer so you can get a taste for what you’re in for.

Keep your recommendations coming!

1. Deal or No Deal Model Theater - Heroes

They also did The Office and Bionic Woman. The model playing Dwight in The Office parody only has one line, but she is genius.

2. I watched the four New Caprica episodes from Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica last weekend. I love those episodes so so so much. The Exodus episodes are movie-level awesomeness. Remember when the Galactica jumped to the planet’s surface and released all the Vipers and then jumped back out? And remember when the Pegasus came flying in to save the day? Incredible! Oh, and Adama called Apollo a “fatass”, which is pretty awesome too.

3. I’m going to Pennsylvania this weekend for my godson’s christening, which reminds me, I should do a post about my three godchildren. They are all wonderfully fantastic individuals. You will love them.

4. Who else is watching Survivor? Last night’s episode was all sorts of awesome. Jason: I love you, but sometimes I wish you were either smarter, or quieter. Erik: Cut your hair. I can’t decide who’s hair I hate more: Your’s or Jason Catro’s from American Idol? Ozzy: You suck. Eliza: You’re crazy, but I kinda love you and I think if I were on Survivor I would be exactly like you.

5. I think today’s Dilbert was written just for me:

Those clips I posted yesterday may not have painted Bollywood films in the greatest light. To make up for it, I’m posting a clip from my favorite Bollywood movie (okay, the only Bollywood movie I’ve seen) Bride and Prejudice, a Bollywood version of Pride and Prejudice. This is my favorite part, when Lalita (Lizzie), Jaya (Jane), Maya (Mary), and Lakhi (Lydia, there is no “Kitty” character) all sing about the loser Mr Kohli (Mr. Collins) who came to town to propose marriage to Lakhi and states that for him, there is “no life, without wife”.

And here’s the trailer:

The fourth and (sadly) final season of Battlestar Galactica starts tonight! I am so excited! Michelle is having a viewing party at her place. I may very well wear my “Frakkin Toasters” t-shirt. To celebrate the return of the best show ever, below are some of my favorite scenes from the series, which I think everyone can enjoy, not just hardcore fans such as myself.

Starbuck and Leoben spread the love:

President Roslin takes care of business (without the aid of an airlock!):

Helo takes on Cylon Skinjobs on the original Caprica:

The Battlestar Pegasus takes on Hundreds of Cylon Raiders:

Starbuck escapes from the Cylon Farm:

Okay fine, you caught on! They’re not really scenes from Battlestar Galactica (except the first one, which is my favorite scene ever). But here’s one more anyway:

Kat flies through radiation and saves the day:

You are SO welcome for that last one.

Here is the top ten list from this Wednesday’s David Letterman. It’s the top ten reasons to watch Battlestar Galactica, presented by the cast of Battlestar Galactica:

I’ve been on a Willie Nelson kick lately. This one is my favorite:

Listen to this, it’s an awesome cover of “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” by Norah Jones:

In an effort not to offend anyone with my opinionated reviews, I am proud to present my very first unopinionated review. Spoiler free here, but the comments are fair game.

I thought Lost was pretty good on last night. Desmond’s beard looked really fake enthusiastic. Jeremy Davies looked quite anorexic willowy. I hate that We didn’t get any answers which sucks as usual but that’s okay!

Ugh! That’s harder than I thought it would be! Okay so honestly I was pretty meh throughout the episode. I’ve never been a fan of Desmond, so naturally this wasn’t my kind of episode, but the last 5 minutes totally made up for it. So cute! Also, didn’t Alan Dale’s accent sound really fake? But then I looked it up and he’s from New Zealand. Odd. I guess I’m just so used to him being Mr. Meade and Caleb Nichol, that when he was talking normally, it confused my fragile little brain.

And then there is this, which is old, but I’ve never seen it before until now, thanks to Ryan.

1. Is anyone else watching (and loving) Sarah Connor Chronicles? It’s so good! IO9’s article talking about how this show wants to be Battlestar Galactica got me thinking. What if Cameron is some sort of human/terminator hybrid? And what if the half human part of Cameron is really Sarah Connor DNA? Dun dun duuuuuun! Come on! You know it makes sense! And not just because they’re both brunettes! In the future, the evil terminators could have engineered a Sarah Connor hybrid-terminator to use against John Connor. Wouldn’t that be smart of them? Create a weapon that thinks and looks like the mother of your biggest enemy. And think about it: They’ve been keeping Cameron’s model number under wraps and said that she’s a completely new model to the franchise. This would take the show to a place the Terminator films haven’t gone before, and I think a lot of people’s gripes with the show is that it’s basically been a Terminator 2 and 3 redux. Why don’t I work in Hollywood again?

2. Definitely the highlight of the Oscars was being introduced to this song, which I completely adore now and have listened to it a gajillion times. For those of you who didn’t see the Oscars, it’s called “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova and it’s from the movie Once, which I immediately added to my Netflix queue.

3. I’m sorry NefariousCarrot, I know its your favorite book and all, but I’m sad to report that I’m giving up on Lilith for now. I say “for now” in the hopes that I will go back and finish it. But how many times have you actually finished a book after putting it down? Oh man, “putting it down” sounds awful, as if I took the book out back and shot it. In this case it’s more like I impaled it with a lightsaber since the new Star Wars book came out yesterday and I’ll be reading that instead while giving everyone that “don’t judge me!” look on the train.
