"I gotta go change my feet."

So, I was watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on my Tivo, and the end credits rolled and I pressed stop, and what should happen to be on TV but She's the Man.

And I watched it.

I watched it for half an hour. And what's more, I enjoyed it. I turned it off when I realized that I was totally hooked, but even now, sitting in my room, I kind of want to keep watching it.

Someone please shoot me now.

Would shooting you really help? I mean then you'd be laid up in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound and who knows what you'd end up watching then! Shooting you could just make things so much worse!

Oh, you're right!! I'd probably end up watching soap operas daytime dramas, and I'd get all involved with just who exactly is Justine's baby's daddy, and just what that masked woman was doing down by the pier, and OMG why would Hector do that, doesn't he know Liz totally loves Jamie, and didn't Carlo's will say the money should go to Alisha, and I would NEED to be put out of my misery.

Hmm. Something less drastic, then...

You did that with a little to much skill for my tastes, you're already hooked on the daytime dramas aren't you?! It's okay, you can tell us the truth, you're in a safe environment here. *pets* :P

Teehee!

Truthfully, the only soap I have gotten completely and utterly addicted to was Dark Shadows. You can't go wrong with a soap when one of the main characters is a vampire! SciFi used to run reruns twice a day, and every day I taped it and watched it and speculated. I got a little bit obsessed. I was lucky; SciFi stopped showing it and I had to go cold turkey.

Then I got addicted to a Spanish soap opera on Telemundo, which was made doubly worse by the fact that I could only understand about half of what was being said. I had to force myself to stop watching that one.

Since then I've studiously avoided daytime dramas, mostly because I know that if I watch even one episode I'm going to be so incredibly hooked I'll need a seven-step program.

It's okay. I'd say go ahead and watch it, I know I plan on renting it soon.

...Okay, so are you in as much lovelike with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as I am?

But... but... it totally butchers the play! Which is one of the very few comedies by Shakespeare that I can get through without vomiting or wanting to kill someone! And Amanda Bynes looks so unlike a boy, and the premise is just gahhhhh.

I'm planning on Tivo-ing it the next time it comes on.

OMG YES. YES YES YES YES. Any excuse to watch Summer Glau kick ass. And sometimes there's plot!

I know. I know, but just think of the hordes of fun that can be had tearing apart the movie, piece by piece.

<<...I'd make a better Viola than Amanda Bynes, and I'm not that great of an actress!

I KNOW! Teh awesomeness exudes. >>...Is it wrong to like the actor playing John Connor?

Seriously.

He's so cute! I want to pinch his cheeks! He needs to stop being emo, but I can totally understand his emoness. So, not wrong. :D

I think all of us should form a club that bashes movies that ruin our favorite books/comics.

Score! But yes, is emoness is really sad.

Dude, yes! We are so making that.

I know he has a reason to be emo, what with the way he was raised and all, and the age he is, but sometimes I just want to shake him really really hard. Or give him a hug.

Bwuahahahahaha...Beware Hollywood, we are coming together to mock you!

And with his future, it's not going to get any better. I say a hug would be better for him, he gets shook up enough as it is. :/

Just as long as someone lets RoboCameron know that hugs aren't attacks...

This is true...
