All three "Lord of the Rings" movies made it into the top twenty of IMDB's highest user-ranked movies.
I quit the internets.
At least they had the good sense to get "The Shawshank Redemption" right up there at the top.
What are your top five films?
Mine are after the jump.
"The Loop," which will probably be cancled now that it's finished it's seven episode first season, was actually pretty money. Pretty fucking money, truth be told. But anyway, it features for its theme song, a song called "Hockey Monkey" by James Kochalka Superstar and the Zambonis. I think I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves:
All the scientists are running around
Looking for the monkey but he can't be found
'Cause he's down by the pond playing hockey
With the kids
And all the mothers are running around
Looking for thier children but they can't be found
'Cause they're down by the pond playing hockey
With the monkeyAnd it's one, two, three
The kids love the monkey
And four, five, six,
The monkey's got a hockey stick
Seven, eight, nine,
Having a good time, yeah,
...and so on. It's also featured on the Zambonis album "More Songs About Hockey...and Buildings and Food," which is availible on iTunes and through Amazon, for those of you, you know, who love hockey. And hockey songs. And may or may not have made mix CDs of hockey related hockey songs. According to The Zambonis website, they are "North America's Favorite ALL-HOCKEY Band!!!" So, you know, they've got that going for them.
It's like the producers of Commander in Chief ask themselves, on a regular basis, "Now what would the West Wing do?" and then do the opposite. All the way down to "Now what would the West Wing do? Make an awesome show! Ha! I spit on the idea of that."
Like, tonight's episode focused on the First Gentleman being drugged by an operative from one of the major parties (which tWW would not do because it's both a) stupid and b) implausible, not to mention really, really stupid), but, an intern from that party steps forward to say that she'll flip on the girl she knows that did the drugging if she can get a job in the White House.
AND THEY GIVE HER THE JOB.
You know what Leo McGarry would have done?
He would've said: You'll tell me who the hell did exactly what and I won't get charges filed against you for obstructing justice, and fuck if I'll ever let you work in this town again after trying to extort me with this to begin with.
And then he may or may not stab her.
But does CiC do this?
No, they GIVE HER THE FUCKING JOB.
Like a bunch of fucking retards.
Like, "she said she would only tell us if we gave her a job, so we better give her a job, I'm only the President's chief of staff, deedle deedle dee."
Fucking morons.
In conclusion: It only takes watching a little "Commander in Chief" before you remember how retarded and crappy it is.
