My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part V

April 14, 2008 — 6 Comments

I cannot utterly believe WHY I’m posting this, but… while rummaging through my dusty albums, I discovered the first album I ever EVER bought, back when I was 10? This is WHY we love the early to mid-90’s because the 90’s were tacky… if the 80’s were tacky in American and the rest of the world, we certainly caught up in the 90’s, people.

For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

Part I
Part II
Part III (Disney Edition)
Part IV (Ruth rules Edition)

Forget about leg-warmers, puffy hair and big glasses… though Beals and Matlin certainly blossomed. *tsk tsk* – My 90’s were tacky… flamboyant primary-colored suited boy bands waving and wooshing their flamboyant fans while singing Locomia, LOL’ Or velveted rancheras singing Querida… originally performed by my Latin version of Elton John, with Juan Gabriel. LOL’ But back to the album I found people… Continue Reading…

Tom Scavo – Doug Savant – LUV!

April 12, 2008 — 1 Comment

Doug SavantEver since I began watching Desperate Housewives, I always LOVED Tom Scavo. He was the best of the husbands on the show, and I dreaded the idea that Tom might have been having an affair… he wasn’t having one, after all. But due to his silliness… he got himself a new daughter. Seriously, is Tom Scavo a sperminator?? LOL’

Anyway, I think Doug Savant is the hotness. Look at him in this photo that I stole from E! Online, ha! – It’s something I had to do, there aren’t many photos of him around…

Now, if you take a look at his CV, you’ll noticed he’s been in many projects! A few days ago, they were showing Godzilla, and I noticed him! He’s been a soldier/policeman/enforcer of the law many-a-time! As he was a captain in Firefly.

Who can forget Tom and Lynette’s fooling around, and Tom’s line of “Let’s risk it!” and Lynette punching him for even suggesting, LOL’. And instant LUV when he was wearing the leopard underwear. x’D

The Next Jodie?

April 8, 2008 — 1 Comment

MSNBC did an article of who could be the next Jodie Foster. Crazyness! LOL’ Their Top5 picks are okay, I guess… but really, the names on the poll. Don’t really dig a few of them. I mean, my respect to Emma Watson, Camilla Belle, Jena Malone, Amber Tamblyn, Clea DuVall… and etc. But Jodie is THE Jodie, LOL’ xD

*EDIT*
Must clarify, the names mentioned above are okay… but Kristen Bell and Kristen Stewart? Pfft

Their Top5 (dunno if by order, though) are: Continue Reading…

The 2008 TIME 100

April 6, 2008 — 2 Comments

TIME Magazine, or better said… TIME’s website is holding a vote for the 100 Most Influential people of 2008, I’m guessing. There’s a broad spectrum of professions, races, nationalities, etc… but come on, seriously?

I like Bi (Rain) and all, I thought he was quite good on Park Chan-Wook’s film, and I’m actually giddy that he’s on the new Speed Racer film. He dances pretty great… and oh Sang Doo, he went to school! LOL’ However, it baffles me that he’s in the #1 spot when probably 75% of people in America and Occident haven’t the faintest idea who he is.

Don’t get me started on #2, LOL. If Chicken Fried should be included, it should be Kentucky Friend Chicken. I mean, I liked Britney and all back in ’99, and I’m still hoping she gets her crap together, but #2??? Seriously? What does that say about us, people??

And #3? Oh my God! J.K. Rowling has been pushed from her thrown by Stephenie Meyer, author of The Twilight Series. A pseudo-fantasy book that is as good as some fanfiction story written for 13-year-old girls who dream and giggle about crushing hard on a good vampire. LOL’ – I mean, really… Influential? Maybe… but the #3 spot?

So this is how the list should be shifted around:

Ben Hur Passes! R.I.P!

April 6, 2008 — Leave a comment

I go to Yahoo to check my now-forgotten Yahoo e-mail address, and I find myself reading that American actor, Charlton Heston has passed away!

I sort of can’t believe it… always part of it, I guess. My first and most notorious impression of Mr. Heston will always be Ben Hur, which they re-run every Eastern in Peru. When I was little, I would always freak out in the scene where Ben Hur’s mom and sister reveal they have leprosy. Always scared me, LOL’

Marlee Quick-Steps on Dancing

March 25, 2008 — Leave a comment

Did you vote for Marlee last night? Because if you didn’t, you just missed the chance to vote for her 12 times! That’s a lot of times to vote! Today is elimination day, and two will be going home… but I don’t know how elimination works in the show, so let’s cross fingers.

Don’t forget to vote for Marlee next Monday night at 8pm/7pm Central (whatever that means… 8pm GMT-5 seems to work for my voting) – and keep your fingers crossed for tonight! And how sweet was Jennifer Beals to go and cheer for Marlee? Awfully sweet! Here’s a capture of her waving!!

Here is Marlee doing her Quick Step on Windows Media Video (wmv) format, you will need Pando to download. Continue Reading…

Buffy Reunites!

March 23, 2008 — Leave a comment

The Paley Television Festival paid tribute to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because Buffy is cool, okay? Anyway, they managed to reunite most of the cast (except for Willow, Faith, Giles and Angel… aka. Alisson Hannigan, Eliza Dushku, Anthony Stewart Head and David Boreanaz).

I was trying to find different photos of the event, but all were basically the same… SMG with Green, low-res group photos, etc. However, it was nice to hear about Emma Caulfield out and about, since we don’t get to hear much from her projects. I have a few links talking about the event:

Marlee Matlin on Dancing with the Stars

March 18, 2008 — 5 Comments

I’m not one to watch Dancing with the Stars on a regular basis, but I saw my first EVER complete episode on Monday because Marlee Matlin was there. She didn’t get to dance yet, but it was worth the watch just because of the quote:

All I can say is “read my hips.”

Marlee Matlin - Dancing with the Stars - Read My Hips

Watch and vote for her people, because she’s awesome.

My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part IV

March 14, 2008 — 2 Comments

We’re back with a new edition of why the 90’s ruled!! For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

Part I
Part II
Part III (Disney Edition)

Ruth InfarinatoThis time, I’m gonna be talking about the coolest VJ in MTV Latin America, and that was Ruth! The orange-haired Argentinean who graced MTV Latin America for long enough so she could make an impact on my TV viewing. She was chill, she was hip… she was just what VJs are supposed to be.

According to Wikipedia, Ruth is a host and an actress, and became one of the main figures for the Latin American youth thanks to her job as a VJ for over 10 years. I mainly knew her from her show Conexion, but she also hosted, co-produced and wrote several other interactive programs… which make her even cooler.

You see, MTV was cooler at that point in time… VJs didn’t try hard to be hip and cool. MTV was actually about music, and reality tv and crappy series weren’t part of the scheduling. You could actually keep your tv on MTV, and no one would think that was weird. There was also Daria, Beavis and Butthead, and even Ren and Stimpy!

And why the heck am I writing about this? Well, I was watching old tapes, and I had recorded some of Ruth’s show Conexion. I actually ended up watching the whole show, and it made me nostalgic about watching MTV, lol. I barely watch any MTV, maybe I occasionally end up watching it at 3 or 4 in the morning, but you wouldn’t catch me watching it during the day.

Nowadays, I tend to watch more VH1, but it’s not necessarily good either, but it’s better than MTV’s programs… most of the times. I remember that in Canada I began watching MuchMusic, which is like Canadian MTV… after a while, I was more of a MuchMoreMusic type of person, almost like the Canadian version of VH1. I did watch quite a bit of CMT too, but that was in Canada – Cable in Peru did had, at one point in time, CMT in their listing but it didn’t last much longer than a month.
