Cheese Man ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I love Wonderfalls with a giddy, giggly sort of love.
Some of us live in fear that a talking monkey statue might actually try and make us do something.
Some of us are confident that will never happen to us, because our fanged toy bunny will tell the monkey statue that it doesn't know what it's talking about and should just shut up.
That's the odd thing. I really liked Dead Like Me.
I liked the supporting characters in Dead Like Me, not so much George.

Jilli is me.
The thing that sort of annoyed me was that in order for the show to be even a semi-success (because I tend to think of Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies as working through the same things) they had to make the protagonist likable AND male (although I guess you could argue that both of them were protagonists). I totally identified with George and Jaye's unlikableness. Of course, I also identified with Buffy the most in Season Six.
I didn't dislike WF enough to not watch all of it, though. DLM lost me after the first season. That's a show that I watched kinda the way I eat yogurt - if it's in the fridge, I'll eat it; if it's not in the fridge, I don't think about it. Which is why I don't tune in to the second season of a lot of shows.
I don't think I'm self-driven. I don't think I'm driven at all. I think I'm in "Park".
I think I'm in Neutral. The least little thing and I'll roll down the hill and crash.
Jaye was more slacker than I can identify with, although Wonderfalls had some great moments.

I never made it into liking Pushing Daisies. My love for Lee Pace was pretty large after Wonderfalls, but PD was too darn twee for me. And now he's gone and done Marmaduke. Jesus, man. After Soldier's Girl this is what you do with your career? Seriously?
Has Marmaduke opened yet? I'm hoping it does terribly, and everyone involved feels ashamed....
eta: There should be a rule - if a movie is about an animal, and promotional material feature this animal wearing sunglasses, the movie will suck.
Marmaduke has been open two weeks. It has a 10% fresh rating at rotten tomatoes right now. So I think they know. I hope they know.

Looks like it came out June 4. I did not see a single television ad for it. But I haven't actually watched television in a couple weeks, so that may not be fair.
