AFTERSHOCK: EARTHQUAKE IN NEW YORK/10.5 USA
I never watched “Aftershock” when it first aired on CBS…. which is probably why I never knew Jennifer Garner was in it… that and the fact that it premiered in 1999… boy was that boring… the quake lasted about 5 minutes… after that, it was just a bunch of nothing… even Jennifer Garner couldn’t make me watch the whole thing…
Right after this, USA airs NBC’s earthquake miniseries “10.5” … you know, the one with the Golden Gate Bridge collapsing on itself… when I first watched it last year I was all like “wow, this is cool stuff” (the “special effects” not the fact that the entire west coast was about to collapse into the Pacific) anyway… now that I saw that scene again, I thought about how unrealistic that would be… the cables just snap and it just so happens to split right in the middle with the towers falling nicely straight into the water on itself… Of course, with these kinds of movies, you don’t think about reality…
THE CONTENDER NBC
I finally manage to watch a full episode of “The Contender” since the premiere… glad that they brought back Peter Manfredo… he was probably one of the best of the 16… watching Najai and his family is so weird considering what happened to them… very sad… sucks how “The Contender” doesn’t get a bigger audience… It soooo much better than watching a bunch of “Housewives” …
I just thought… come Emmy time in September, Mark Burnett will have THREE shows nominated in the “Outstanding Reality/Competition Program” category: The Apprentice, Survivor, and now The Contender… TAR is a definite yes as a nominee… so it will either be all three of Burnett and no Idol or Idol and only two of Burnett… I think we can count out “America’s Next Top Model,” “SI Swimsuit Model Search” and “The Biggest Loser”…
GO OKLAHOMA STATE!
I was a little scared about OK STATE earlier… but they won… let’s see OK STATE/TEXAS TECH in the final 4! 🙂 Wow… UNC beat UCONN…
Hmm…I’m picking all the top seeds especially for OK STATE and TEXAS TECH and DUKE… I think the toss-ups will be between WISCONSIN/NC STATE and UTAH/KENTUCKY… It would be nice to ILLINOIS lose, WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE has surprised so far… you never know
MORALES vs. PACQUIAO
Darn it he choked again… well not really, he fought hard until the end… just not hard enough… oh well…
lol @ ABS-CBN: “The country is in mourning…” geez
