random notes:
-it’s a bootleg show with late 90s gameshow production ala Who wants to be a Millionaire (purple lighting, mysteriuos horns/synth, myriad moving spotlights). too many commercials stiple the action.
-the Hulkster bringing his unique style of douschyness as expected, and Layla Ali with absolutely no on-stage presence. maybe she should be a gladiator herself?
-powerball, i cant seem to recall the camera styles of the original program, but this just looked bad. not to mention one of the contestants injured herself right away, leaving the other girl to essentially play one-on-two basketball with the gladiators. the guys (or at least the red-uniformed one), however, was leaving the gladiators in the dust; just too much speed.
-Wolf proving to be the biggest jerk right off the bat with (you guessed it) his signature howl. at least he’s funny. Crush so far is my favorite female gladiator.
-ahh the classic Joust, but this time above a giant pool. they should probably make the water smelly to give the contestants extra incentive. or add some pirahnas. i dont like the pool idea at all. it reminds me of the show Dog Eat Dog that used the same tactic to very predictable and plain-old-bad results. the quick-editing camera cuts ruined this otherwise good matchup.
-so far not a good start. bring Larry Czonka back.
-Earthquake, new competition, wrestling on an elevated circle, and trying not to be thrown off, or throw out the gladiator. not bad really
-Hit and Run is just plain dumb. why incorporate Frogger to this kind of competition?
-Pyramid was cool. pretty much “king of the mountain” logic.
-it feels rigged. i cant explain it, but it just does.
-wow 2 hours of this shit? forget it. its a wrap for this show. the Elimanator was fun, though.
what a lazy afternoon. nevermind that, what a lazy weekend. my hair is reminiscent of that recent Adam Sandler movie where he’s a total recluse because he lost his family on September Eleven (i think thats what the movie is about, never having seen it myself).
i “went out” last night although that really can be described as walking around the block to a friends house for football, then going to the local bar about a quarter mile away to grab more drinks. I played FIFA 08 since friday night, and have been wanting to get back to playing Rock Band today, since i was determined to find a cheat to unlock all songs. turns out that’s pretty much public knowledge, now i want to throw a Rock Band Party and play some New Pornographers. maybe even “Dani California”; regarding this song, i didnt like it at first, i still dont like it really, but in a loud setting it’s fun to hum to.
i saw the coolest movie on demand today: Prime Evil. it’s about a gigantic alligator(!!!!), and they tried to use it as an obvious metaphor for Rwanda/Darfur!!!!! i truly did like it, all flaws aside, and boy were there many of those!
now, i’m looking forward for the new episode of The Wire (the greatest show of our time)on demand tonight around midnight. i swear i might cry if it doest show up right away. i have work tomorrow morning.
