...seriously? You can't find a better candidate to play the legendary regal KING ARTHUR than this deer-in-headlights boy who also look like he's totally hairless and also might still be in diapers?

I really don't know HOW EXACTLY they're gonna make me believe that this annoying looking, mouth hanging open boy can transform into any kind of kingly figure! Seriously, I can't take him seriously! 5 episodes into Camelot now and every single time Jamie Campbell-Bower comes on screen, all I wanna do is throw something at his idiotic face (Fireballs always comes to mind!) Everytime he yells a command, I roll my eyes because it really just sounded to me like a stupid brat throwing a tantrum. Blah blah blah blah. Oh shut up, brat!

I love Camelot's take on the Arthurian legend, I love their take on legend, Merlin, Morgan, Uther, Igraine, Guinevere, even the start of the Knights... but ARTHUR? Wow, how brilliant of them to COMPLETELY BOTCH the one thing they needed to get right! And while they did so well casting Spartacus, well, Andy Whitfield Spartacus at least. I still have yet to judge the new Spartacus.

Or maybe I'm just too spoilt by this:

Can we please do a CTRL-C on Bradley James and CTRL-V him on Camelot's Arthur?

Have you been watching Spartacus: Gods of the Arena? If you haven't, take a look at this trailer and perhaps you might consider starting to follow this 6-part prequel to the preceding Spartacus: Blood & Sand.

Being a huge fan of Blood & Sand, naturally, I myself have been religiously following Gods of the Arena. I must admit, I had doubts and skepticism, especially knowing that the title character, Spartacus (played by the ever-so-dashing Andy Whitfield---can you tell that I adore this man?), isn't even going to be portrayed in this series. But after the 1st episode, I must admit, creator Steven DeKnight knows what he's doing.

...he was ripping limbs and organs off human beings on True Blood (and cradling a crystal urn filled with his vampire lover's blood goo).

This week, we meet him again, but he's in a toga, upholding justice, and promoting to donate blood. LOL.

Ah the six degrees of television. I'm loving this True Blood poke :)

This past few episodes, I keep coming back saying OMG THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 3 with each new episode. I'm still not sure if this episode was better than the last, even if it did start off with ERIC and the return of Eric's wifebeater. But I can say that the last scene was EPIC! It was hilarious and WTF in epic proportions, seriously. Probably the most entertaining episode this season.

For sure, Nan Flanagan's jaws wasn't the only one that dropped to the floor. Mine was too. And then I laughed like hell.

PLEASE, TRUE BLOOD...
KEEP RUSSELL EDGINGTON!

Coz he's so damn awesome! Now THAT is how a vampire should be! Evil, royally pissed, and a HUGE DRAMA QUEEN. I especially LOVE that scene where he's perched on the roof watching Fangtasia while talking to that glob of TALBOT GOO stored in a crystal urn. Is he gonna take that Talbot goo everywhere he goes now? I know, I'm still mourning Talbot's passing too. I LOVED Talbot as well, and I'm a little sad that most of Russell and Talbot's last scenes were spent bickering and fighting.

But seriously though, True Blood! OMG? It was literally like a scene right out of South Park. A newsman reading the news and suddenly some evil monster comes out of nowhere and PULLS OUT HIS HEART. OMG THEY KILLED THE NEWSMAN! YOU BASTARDS! And I'm laughing again just as I'm typing this! Is it disturbing that I find that hand through chest cavity scene hilariously wonderful? That has got to be included into those Wall of Fames for greatest True Blood moments. Possibly greatest True Blood moment EVER.

And I'm gonna go watch it again now. Yeah, I'm disturbed.

You know what you sound like? One of those sad country songs about dumb bitches who let their men cheat and beat them, all for the sake of true love.

Sookie, I adore you and all, but this time I'm gonna have to agree with Tara. 100%. Bill is old and boring. Please get smart and get it on with a LIVING, BREATHING MAN who is also HOT AS HELL (literally!). Do I need to spell it out more clearly?

I've just recently got myself waist-deep into Mad Men (and banging my head against the wall for not doing this sooner) and by golly, finding this video at midnight, seeing Don and Betty Draper acting SO SILLY AND CUTE (when they always make me feel so depressed) will certainly ensure I'll have a pleasant dream tonight!

It put such a HUGE SMILE on my face. Now I know all I have to do when I need some cheering up is to just click on this video :)

Bye Bye Birdie
Guess I'll always care...

Great. Now I can't get it out of my head!

Oh hell yes, like FINALLY! Thank you, True Blood!

And I thought last week's episode was gooey! Little did I know I'll get served a whole lotta goo explosion even before the opening credits:

I know Sookie's gone through this before in Season 1, but getting splattered with some insignificant vampire goo doesn't seem at all shocking compared to getting splattered with Lorena-goo! I laughed and laughed and cringed and laughed when Lorena exploded all over Bill. That was bloody disgusting! (literally!) I can't express how thrilled I am that Lorena is DEAD! And I mean like really, REALLY dead (coz technically she's already dead this whole time anyway). Sorry, Lorena fans, I know some of you love her. I do admit, she is one fine and gorgeous lady, but I can't stand her. Good riddance. Great way for her to go. Definitely my FAVORITE vampire death scene.

Although, maybe that scene from last week where Crazy Eyes Tara smashed Franklin's brains out with MACE was a whole lot better (and funny as hell!). But we don't know for sure if Franklin's really dead, do we? After all, he didn't explode. Hmmm.

They say this movie was written with Tom Cruise in mind. Cruise, however, declined because he thinks the storyline rings way too closely to Mission: Impossible. He's right, and it was a very wise choice for him to not take on this movie, because not only does it ring way too closely with a lot of other spy movies ever made in the 21st century, I for one could not imagine Tom Cruise doing a Russian accent.

So, did they think that it would be any different if the role was taken over by a girl? Particularly one larger than life Angelina Jolie? I have to admit, having Jolie play the role does work out a whole lot better than having Salt played by a male actor. But it still doesn't change the after-effect: sitting in that chair watching the end credits roll, with only one thing that immediately popped in your head.

Bourne.(tte)

Imagine if this movie had been played by Matt Damon. I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference in the long run. Oh, that movie where a spy was wrongfully accused and spent a good chunk of the movie being on the run when it turns out that said spy really IS what he/she was accused of. Wait, that's the plot of almost every spy movie.

Jolie played the role gorgeously though. I'm just wondering why she decided to take on this role, though? Feeling the need to revamp her image? ...that she is still that kickass goddess/siren even though she's now a mother of SIX? Are there really no better scripted spy movies out there for her? Something more original?

Salt might've been better if it ended differently. If they tied all the loose ends and just wrapped it up in one movie. The ending just reeks SEQUEL. And having a sequel somewhere in the horizon just makes it look even more and more like Bourne. Although, I'm kinda curious on what exactly they'll title a sequel for Salt.

Saltier? xD

At the 4th episode of Pretty Little Liars, I was chirping to all my friends and all over Twitter how much I loved this series. It's smart, with a perfect mixture of Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, AND The Vampire Diaries (sans the fanged ones... well, up to now, that is.) and it's my new summer guilty pleasure.

I'm now at the 8th episode, and somehow, I'm getting a little bored. Hm, might that be due to the absence of one Mr. Fitz for the past 2 episodes? I doubt it, I think I'm more into Emily (Shay Mitchell) than any of the dudes in Pretty Little Liars. Although lately, even Emily is starting to bore me too with her constant constipated look.

I'm starting to wonder how are they really going to develop this whole mystery surrounding Alison's death without dragging everything into a repetitive slow motion straight into a dead end? It was awesome up to episode 6 (the homecoming episode), but 7 and 8 is like climax straight to downhill faster than you can say Alison DiLaurentiis.

The whole unrequited forbidden love thingy between Aria and Mr. Fitz got on a very strong start, but it started fizzling like a leaking balloon starting episode 4 onwards. Forbidden love is a very strong pull on any story, so they need to play this back to the right track. And Mr. Fitz himself is pretty cute too.

I started out liking Emily and Aria. But at this last recent episode, I've shifted completely to Hanna and Spencer. Like COMPLETELY. The previous two got so bland and boring. Like I said, Emily constantly looks constipated.

And that mysterious "A" is starting to make me think that ghosts in Rosewood can actually TEXT.

I might give it a few more episodes, but if it doesn't get back on its two feet, I'm just gonna bolt out of Rosewood and never come back.
