What's up everyone sorry about the short hiatus but we're back on track. Okay so what's going on? well I don't really know except for the shows that I usually watch. So let me jump right into what I've come across.
Sadly, to those animation lovers out there, Cartoon Network, and other sources have confirmed that the Green Lanter, and Young Justice shows have been cancelled. Green Lantern I didn't care for because it was 3D animation which I'm not too fond of, there doesn't seem to be fluidity in 3D graphics for the most part when they are done at a cartoon level, or inserted in a primarily 2D show. On the other hand I was just starting to really get into the Young Justice animation which in my opinion had the best animation art, and storylines. It was fresh takes on new and old characters within the DC comics universe, alas sadly it has been given the big ugly axe.
In totally unrelated news, things are getting intense as always on Kevin Bacons new hit show, the Following. Honestly there has not been any crazier stuff on national television aside from this show, definetly a genre defining and envelope pushing show in my opinion, usually you'd expect some of this stuff in a grade D- Saw spin-off, but yet the Following just does it so much better! I don't want to spoil anything but if you have been keeping up, Bacons character Ryan , a failed CIA agent is brought back into the field to stop the follower of a serial killer he helped put behind bars. The killer was apprehended shortly after escaping, but that was only the begining . Since the begining the evil masterind has been pulling strings from his cell, using his followers to commit other murderous acts in his name, all while putting Ryan through his paces.
In this weeks walking dead tensions ran high at the prison when Andrea finally returned to the group sneaking out of the Governor's town. They revealed how the governor had slain a member of their group and wrecked half of the prison leading zombies to tread the yards and cornering the group even more. They told her of an impending war between the Governor and the Rick. At the end of the episode, Andrea slept with the Governor who she had been romantically involved with for a few episodes now, but as she stood over his sleeping body, she debated whether or not to take heed to the words told to her, that she could end this all if she took it upon herself to kill the governor, before anyore harm came to everyone.
And finally, oh yes, the oscars. I did manage to see a good amount of the oscars and I personally enjoyed Seth MacFarlane as a host. Now I know that most critics hated his hosting and what not but come on this guy was not afraid to go at the jokes he was telling, and frankly thats what hollywood needs is a swift kick right in the kisser at time, because lets face it how much of those jokes were untrue? I liked the bit at the begining where they had William Shatner as Kirk in the future telling MacFarlane that he basically sucked and showed him clips why. His sing and dancing numbers are always entertaining for me, and of course being partial to Family Guy probably led me to prefer him than say most other hosts of recent years. Well done to Mr. Daniel Day Lewis, for his third oscar in the category for best Male, Yay for Ben Affleck making his film-greatness-comeback receiving his oscar for Argo as best picture, and Boo, why? Because Skyfall should have gotten more oscars and the Bond tribute should have been more exciting, and with more clips and music, I was literally salivating at the idea that they were doing a Bond tribute but I was let down because there was no spectacle, and all they could do was have Shirley Bassey sing goldfinger. Let me tell you this, If I was running that OSCARS SHOW and was in charge of the Bond section, oh boy, Glady Knight doing a verse from License to Kill, The World is Not Enough would have been played, then Skyfall, and Goldfinger of course, but then , then the crowning moment would be a live band and Chris cornell playing you know my name to more bond clips!! Honestly the one thing that the oscars lacked and have been for better or worse is the spectacle, there was nothing special in the shows except when there were dance numbers and skits, and they were underutilized in my opinion... ~~~Sigh~~~ maybe someday I'll be behind the camera at the oscars, actually you know which oscars was great, the One Hugh Jackman hosted, he was really into that show and there were alot of cool moments in that one, especially his intro song, definetely worth a check.... What, I'm totally serious right now, go and youtube it, or google it now!!!
