Personal - Possible Rant

There is a new TV show that came out late last year called ‘New Girl‘. Here is why I think the show should be called ‘Jess’.

  • The main character’s name is Jess.
  • The show revolves around her.
  • Give it at most a year. She won’t be new anymore. They will have to change the name to ‘Girl who moved in ages ago knows everybody and has a good Rapport with everyone here’.
  • Might as well have called ‘Big Bang Theory‘ ‘New Girl’ when that first started. It just seems like such an easy title for the scenario.

Now I do like the show for the most part. I do have my pros and my cons(another blog for another time, quite possibly) and I could just be caring way too much about what a show is called but I feel a good name that suits the show adds to the show in a good way and there are TV shows which have a history of changing name to just the name of the main character (See 'Ellen', previously 'These Friends of Mine' or 'Seinfeld' which was 'The Seinfeld Chronicles' for the pilot). 'Fraiser' and 'Joey' used this naming system when goinng off for their respective spin-off shows. So I don't think it would be a crazy idea for it to be changed.

Thoughts, readers?

Anyway, I'm off to watch a movie now. Probably '21 Jump Street'. Although I need to get on that 'Hunger Games' train. Everyone is talking about this.

You ever have someone point something out and then everytime said thing happens, you notice it? Well thats what this chick does. On youtube there is this one girl Nat who makes videos about everyday things from awkward momens to funny things people do and she talks about it with comedic effect. She usually plays out situations in her videos with her playing the characters. Her latest video is about when people say “How have you not seen this/heard this/had this??”. You gotta be there to get the full effect. You can be. Check out her videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/communitychannel.

I have been thinking about for fun trying and keep a schedule on posting blogs about stuff. I used to do all sorts of things(reviews, posts about other people’s work, like webcomics, blogs and videos and stuff, and general posts). So, maybe I will have something to tell people “Hey, read this at somepoint…”. It would probably be either Monday(To give something good to start the week off on) or Friday(Something to end the week on).

Anyways, til next time.

My dad aquired a new HD 3D DTV (Digital TV). Gotta say it’s quite fun connecting the new laptop to it and trying all the features. We look forward to trying various cool tv shows and movies in the HD/3D. We tried Star Wars on it first which looked cool. My dad is keen to try Game of Thrones. It’s fun trying out the various features, bells and whistles and various things these devices and new technology can do. It’s why I love living in this time. All the new cool things we can do with technology. Connecting tabelts to PCs to TVs to phones. Crazy fun.

I’ve also been stepping into the waters of PC gaming. For the most part the last few years I have been an XBOX man, however with the new laptop I got Arkham Asylum and Force Unleashed to try on PC and I am keen to try more including games like Skyrim which I hear is great on PC.

So here’s my question to the readers of this post: What movie would you pick first to watch in 3D?
