Cool Cherry Cream

Yesterday, after staring at the computer for several hours, I found my eyes getting tired. So, I watched TV. Makes sense, huh?

Anyway, it was already on “Degrassi”, and nothing else was on, so I decided to give it a try. I’ve never really seen any episodes of “Degrassi” (The Next Generation, by the way), so hmm, this should be interesting.

There’s apparently some fourteen year old girl with a daughter. Yeah, okay, I know, it happens. But this guy says to her “we can go for ice cream. And your daughter can come too!” And it just *really* bugged me. No one would really say “your daughter”, would they? It seems awkward. They’d say “Bella”. I think the writers just put “your daughter” in there to solidify the fact that OMG WTF THIS IS A TEEN MOTHER!!!

Anyway. It really bugged me. That line in particular, but there were some other annoying lines too.

And you know, when I got to thinking about it, if I don’t like a show, it’s usually the writing I find stupid, for example, Degrassi. There was some new show I watched last year, I think it was “The War At Home” or something, and that had stupid writing too.

“CSI” has some bad puns in it, but admittedly, they can be funny too. Corny jokes are funny when you’re little, then not so funny, but then they become funny again just because of how corny they are! So “CSI” isn’t really that bad. But it can get annoying after awhile.

I watched “Back to the Future III” tonight. Finally finished, yeah!

I think I liked this one a little better than the second, but the first is obviously the best. The line about Clint Eastwood being known as a coward was pretty funny, but my favourite part went like so:

Clara goes to see Doc and tells him that her telescope is broken. Doc says he’ll fix it and she leaves. Marty says, “it’s a nice telescope”. End scene.

HA HA HA! I mean, I don’t know why, but that line is UTTERLY hilarious!

It’s kind of like, that movie I saw on the Drive-In Channel, “Harper Valley P.T.A.”. There’s this girl and her mom and mom’s boyfriend and they’re talking about how the girl is ugly or something, and then out of no where the boyfriend says “how ’bout another hot dog?”. End scene.

Now, I mean, these lines make no sense. You don’t need to remember these lines for later, like in “Wayne’s World” during the concert when they find out about that record guy. They have no further repercussions. The fact that they come out of nowhere and have nothing to do with the movie AND end a scene is just hilarious!

But also bad, because I mean, if I was writing a movie or TV show or play or WHATEVER, when I end scenes, I end then with a cliffhanger or a joke. Not a random line that doesn’t mean anything!

So yes, it’s bad. Sgt. Pepper’s bad. But I loved that movie, and I love these “outta nowhere” lines. Simply wonderful.
