Grid Effect

Last night revolved around The NCAA Title game and watching my alma mater lose probably the most frusturating basketball game I have ever seen as a fan (We played three teams in the tourney that shot well over 50% from three point land! Fifty! If Purdue shoots that well Florida doesn’t make it out of the second round). But anyways, since I didn’t watch any television that I am permitted to delve into great detail about, I am going to my fail safe, here are some links:

John Travolta is scheduled to appear in the series finale of Extras… clearly we are getting some scientology jokes out of this partnership.

Two kids were shot at the Kids Choice Awards. Thankfully no one sustained life threatening injuries but good lord; can’t one attend even a kids award show nowadays without the threat of violence? Police said they expect gang members and if this is true, said gang needs to take it up a notch, shooting up a Kids Choice Awards just seems petty. I mean, whatever happened to making a statement? And Oathes and credos and all that treehouse club stuff that our anti-social citizens applied to adulthood? If you ask me, this is a step back for violent street gangs everywhere. That Justin Timberlake just attracts violent behavior.

Here’s for The Sopranos fanboys. I thought it was only appropriate to link to a YouTube video of every murder on the series after mocking the hell out of misguided gangsters who shoot up an awards show that airs on Nickelodeon.

Of course all southern males ages 16-30 adopt this hairstyle. Isn’t that how women distinguish them from us northerners? How else could they tell besides their rich accents and chivalrous good manners?

One of two writers I read on ESPN, Bill Simmons (though everyone outside of the editor on the site I link to despises), received an extension from the World Wide Leader that includes a hand in TV development. As it stands now ESPN original programming cannot get much worse, so I am willing to give this new deal about a 10% chance for improvement. Never the less, his NBA analysis, though sometimes short-sided, is always interesting.

That’s it for the links. I have yet to watch The Black Donnelly’s, though its going to take a non-cliched rittled episode for me to continue recapping this as the (half) season premiere date looms for both The Sopranos and Entourage. Something I think the writers for TBD are incapable of.
