So, Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett won the Oscar for Original Song.  During his speech Bingham said, “I love you more than rainbows,” to his wife.  Now, it seems on twitter people are snickering because of it.  It didn’t sound sappy to me because I thought he was doing what I did A LOT last year.  A take on the sketch below from Little Britain USA.

This is so not safe.  Nor is it for the faint of heart.  It still slays me.

I like the show.  It has a really talented, diverse cast with an interesting premise, but…

I don’t know why I always fall asleep before it ends.
I’m distracted by the character(s)/actor(s) that rub me the un-fun way.  I’m not telling you who.
It seems to just sit in my Hulu queue until late at night.  wait, late at night? Okay. Hey, Sleepy. *waves*
I’m whining, not watching and it could get cancelled. Like soon.

The thing that really gets me, though, is that the images below shouldn’t make me happy.  Hello, they DO!

John Cho and Gabrielle Union play a couple.  A cute couple.  Getting married.  NO.BIG.DEAL.  Okay, he’s supposed to die in a few months, but that’s kinda off-topic.  Seeing people of color in loving relationships (with each other!) should be average, ordinary and everyday, but it isn’t.  I shouldn’t notice it, but I applaud it.  No one is compensating or trying to explain why they could be attracted to each other.  They just are.  And in this faux post-racial world we’re living in, this right here is a little goodness.

♥Note: Out of respect for the writers, producers, cast and crew of FF, I just spent the last couple of hours watching everything I missed. (You gave me some Callum Keith Rennie, too. LuvU)

TV Writers:

Just letting you know, every time anyone mentions an LVAD on any medical drama from now until whenever, all thoughts go Grey.  Every single scene will have Izzy and Denny hanging out reading charts, playing jacks or practicing their jazz hands.  They’re going to be pulling attention from everything you do.  You might want to rethink it.  Or try an RVAD, instead.

It’s just a suggestion.

*If you’re writing for Hugh Laurie, keep it moving.  There is nothing to see here.

Loving her, lots.

Project Runway: Canada – S2 Ep1 P1

Project Runway: Canada – S1

While working on a post about ANTM (don’t judge me, yet) and its many cosmopolitan sisters, I got to wondering.  Where are my international editions of Top Chef?  I’m a Top Model, Project Runway, Top Chef kind of girl.  PR and NTM get me all kinds of global.  What’s going on with Top Chef?

I’m getting a little satiated.  It’s not any of the hosts or judges, either.  I really liked TC:Masters.  I’m kinda excited about the dessert show.  Seeing Stefan on the Reunion Dinner made me feel things, naughty things.  It’s just that as I’m learning about different parts of America and the intensely local cooking scenes where they film each season, I want to see that around the world.  I want to hear “pack up your knives and go” all cockney-ed out or en français or just, maybe, you know, something else.

Now, of course, technically, I’m not supposed to be able to watch PR:Canada or NZNTM.  If you think that ship hasn’t long sailed, well, then I’m Steve Jobs’ long lost daughter with some Apple stock to sell.  Make me happy.  Franchise the format to someone who can pay and do it justice and get on with it already. Thx.
