Maybe next time you should wear a helmet… mouth guard.
Movies, TV, Video November 28th, 2007
Slow day today. I think I’ll go see Enchanted tomorrow. I’m totally up for a movie that has the guy who played Cyclops dress up as a prince and sing in modern day New York City.
Watched more of the O.C. today. Got finished with the whole Oliver saga… God, I love all the characters but Marissa’s. I mean, she’s a beautiful girl and all, but she is so self-destructive, immature, and ignorant. She sends all the wrong signals to Ryan and he’s always trying to do right by her, but the whole thing with Oliver just made me crazy. How can she not see how obsessed he is with her? She should have just trusted Ryan from the start… I can understand how he could have looked like he was jealous, but when I’m seeing Oliver’s true nature… GAH! I wanted to hit Marissa upside the head so bad. She totally doesn’t deserve a dude like Ryan.
And now I’m also at the point where Seth is totally with Summer now. At first he was with Anna, but he was still obviously having feelings for Summer. So much so that he always spent more attention to her than his supposed girlfriend, Anna. I felt so bad for Anna because of Seth’s treatment of her. There he is at his house, supposedly spending time with his girlfriend, but instead she’s stuck next to him while he’s introducing Summer to the awesomeness of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. I can totally understand her frustration when she finally gets him alone and away from Summer.
Seth: You know how excited I get turning people on to comics.
Anna: I know how excited you get turning Summer on.
And the post title is from one of my favorite episodes, The Heartbreak. And now I can’t get “Hello Sunshine” by Super Furry Animals out of my head. hehehe… The music selections for the show are just the best…

By the end of the night, she might know my first name
TV November 27th, 2007
Yay! My love for the O.C. has been renewed! The first season is the best. I spent most of the day watching it on DVD (but damn, I really wish for a job instead). Watching it felt like I was seeing it for the first time. Right from the beginning at the start of the pilot episode, I was reminded of why the show was so awesome—the writing, the music, and especially the characters. Ryan is awesome. Sandy is awesome. Seth is awesome. Kirsten is awesome. Summer is awesome. Luke is awesome. Marissa… eh, she’s a pain the a butt, but the show wouldn’t be what it is without her.
My favorite storyline has to be Seth trying to win Summer’s affection. A big geek into comic books and video games and very, very far from her radar, he finally gets an in when Ryan, the hot bad ass who got arrested for stealing a car, arrives on the scene. It’s so hilarious how Seth tries really hard to get Summer’s attention while she obviously has no interest in him. But it is just so great when this little scene happens (keep in mind that she has no idea he likes her, but she’s just using him to meet older, rich guys; and by this point he’s fed up with it):
Seth: Do you have any idea how pathetic it is to listen to you talk about mergers while some guy just stares at your boobs?
Summer: Which guy was staring at my boobs?
Seth: Who cares? The point is if that guy doesn’t know you, he doesn’t care who you really are. He has no idea that every day of third grade, you shared your lunch with that little skinny squirrel who kept getting his nuts stolen by that fat squirrel.
Summer: I hated that mean squirrel.
Seth: And, none of those guys were there when you had to read your poem out loud in class and your hand was shaking because you were nervous and you cared what the other kids thought.
Summer: Poem? What poem?
Seth: I Wish I Was A Mermaid.
Summer: You remember that? That was, like, sixth grade.
Seth: “I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish, a shiny tail and seashells, that’s…â€
Summer kisses Seth
Seth:  what I would wish.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww… damn my weakness for romantic scenes.
Now keep in mind they aren’t officially together at this point, and Summer just continues to reject his advances afterwards. But it just gets more awesome for Seth when Anna comes into the picture. Seth attempting to handle two girls coming after him is just priceless—he just doesn’t know how to go from shy loner to having the attention of two beautiful girls. And personally, I’d pick Anna… Samaire Armstrong, who plays her, is just so cute and hot. :X
The show makes some awesome geek references to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and others (courtesy of cool geek, Seth Cohen). It probably is due in part to Allan Heinberg, one of the writers/producers for the show. He later on took on a project for Marvel Comics and created one of my favorite comics, Young Avengers. Yay for comics!
Right now I’m only on disc 3 of 7, so I still have plenty to watch…

The End of the O.C.
TV, Video February 23rd, 2007
It’s the morning after, but I’m still holding back the tears. The O.C. was one of my favorite serial dramas; Well only the first season. After that, it kind of took a dip and started sucking bad. However, due to its initial impressions on me, I gave its series finale a chance. I didn’t really watch any of this season at all, but I had read up on it to give me an idea of what was going on. Needless to say, the fact that Taylor and Ryan are an item is a bit of a surprise. An even bigger surprise was that Ryan’s dad was revealed, played by Kevin Sorbo no less!
If you have any place of the first season of the O.C. in your heart, you should give the final minutes of the finale a look see. I love it. I’ll try not to spoil it, but they do a nice job of finalizing everything and give closure. An end will always be heartbreaking, but they did it well. If only some other shows would give us such closure and answers ::cough::LOST::cough::
Watch it if you can! Goodbye, O.C.!
Edit: Now here’s the last five minutes of the series finale!
Eep! So sad, but happy at the same time.
