The Useless Critic 2.0

Before anything else, there's just one thing I'd like to announce: The Carrie Diaries has been officially renewed for a second season!!!!! And this is for the h8rs: Now on to the recap... Max complains to Caroline about a customer who tipped her in Monopoly money. Han shows up wearing a baseball uniform, only to be mocked by the girls. He announces that he is putting a team together for the restaurant league, but no one seems really eager to play, except for Caroline. She throws the ball and it hits Han right in the nuts. The poor thing walks away in pain as he mentions he forgot to put on a protective cup. The girls go to visit Caroline's father, Martin Channing, in prison. Caroline wonders why he wanted to see them. "He probably wants a conjugal visit," Max says. "Max!" Caroline exclaims. "Relax! With me," Max clarifies. Martin comes in and tells them that Sandra Rosenthal, a woman who used to work for him, is being ...

So, we seem to be getting attacked by movies about the back stage life of bands and performers these days. Kings of Leon are set to release one, Justin Bieber released one (right there I'm against this concept, not to mention that it was in 3D, as if I want to see the 12 year old in that much detail!) and I never saw any adverts for it, but I saw on the news that AC/DC released one. I've heard people talk about how this is great, about how it gives artists a new medium to reach their audiences and that it gives the fans an unprecedented view into the lives of the artists. Fuck right off. What's creative about watching some bearded dude with jeans and a flannel shirt (I should point out now I don't like the Kings of Leon's music, and don't really know anything about the band, other than I hated what I heard on the music channels back in the days of Molly's Chamber) drinking beer, sleeping with hookers who's only charge is that they get to take the ...

So I was watching CNN last night, and I do not normally watch CNN, it is just one of the few channels in my country that speaks English. But I noticed that all they were talking about was beer. Every single program they had some major tie to beer. They had some world culture shows that practically only showed the inside of the bars and taverns. They are promoting a show next month that will be in some country that has the 3rd largest beer consumption in the world. They will not tell us where it is, and they are using it as a mystery. And of course Ricky Gervais was on Piers Morgan Tonight, and that was 43 straight minutes of beer drinking. Oh Oh, that Ricky. Ricky G was extremely entertaining, and I doubt he would have been as good without the pint, but.......... QATFYG : Do like watching beer?
