Let us consider a person who, to this point, has never watched an episode of 30 Rock (wait! Come back!). This person hears many excellent things about it and chooses last night to be the night where they get down to actually watching an episode live. They would watch last night's episode and be disgusted with all the people talking the show up, because it was trash. It was just really very bad, and unfunny, and actually disturbing in some places with its treatment of Jenna. That person would not be interested in further watching, I assure you, and would take some offence to the idea that there is nothing in it to complain about. Actually there is quite a lot in it to complain about! This is not America's number 1 comedy, I am pretty sure of that! OH SO YOU STOPPED SHOWING PARKS & REC FOR THIS. Good work, whoever-made-that-decision.
I think this rant has gone on long enough...
"...and this is my medal which I won in the War on Christmas"
"Mr Santorum... that's a piece of tinsel on a safety pin"
"YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE"
Actually, fuck subtlety. Rick Santorum is one of the worst human beings there is and he is holding the rest of us back with his immoral, degrading, fucking despicable ideals, and I just want him to go away. I don't want to see him any more. How can I not be a cynic when guys like this are running for the most powerful political position in the world and fucking GETTING SUPPORT.
It is times like this where I almost wish that nerds would just stop caring. I mean caring about things you like is great. It's an important part of making life worth living. But caring to the point where every tiny piece of information about a project that may or may not be happening has to be discussed and passed around and considered and reconsidered. And everybody has to have their opinion on this new non-development.
But it's the Internet's constant clamour for more information, like the guy from Monty Python, we know that one more wafer-thin piece of meaningless information will kill us but we can't help ourselves. Who's working on what project? We demand to know that. The cast of a movie with no script that won't come out for 3 years even if it isn't abandoned? We demand to know that. Can we not just stop caring? Can't we enjoy Blade Runner as it is without sequels or prequels or spin-offs or remakes? Isn't that enough?
I feel like the bumbling, oblivious, extra-wheel who has accidentally earned his time-travel stripes from an old pro.
