Hollywood Poop

I have a lot to gripe about today. Last night I was all jacked about a new "Andy Barker PI". I had my VCR programed to tape NBC from 8-10pm. The normal hours for the new must see. I went to work, came home, pour myself a glass of buttermilk, and sat down to enjoy my must see . But, NBC decided to make the first three shows "supersized". This means, 4 minutes longer with 6 more minutes of commercials. This is fine, but what happened? I watch a 40 minute long "Scrubs", which was not funny and hella depressing, and I run out of tape. Thanks NBC. I really like "Andy Barker PI". It reminds me of 1980's television. It is just real pure.
I wanted to go see "Grindhouse" today between shifts as work. I thought it would be like 2 hours. It turns out to be 3.25 hours long! A true double feature. I was shocked. Now, my noodle starts going. If the two films were on their own, then maybe people would see them. Maybe. If they are together in this rebirth of an old gimmick, then people will see them. "Two crappy movies for the price of one? How can I go wrong?" says fat American movie goer in a Puddle of Mud T-Shirt. It is a scam.
Now, Matt and I live in the same complex. And we all know Matt had had some effed up dreams recently. I had one the other night. Here it is:
It starts in a basement of some house. Its my old running crew of Booby, Scott, Big Series and me. Big Series tells me we have to kill this wild hog to make dinner. I volunteer to do it. He hands me a butchers knife and out of the darkness appears this monster hog. Black, hairy with massive tusks and a hump of muscle on his back. He charges me and I stab him. The blade doesn't go all the way and I have to stab again until I hit his heart. He squeals and Big Series rushes over and hold the hog until he is dead. He is petting it and talking soothing to it. Big Series decides that it is not right to kill animals for food.
[Scene missing] Big Series has killed Cynthia Nixon. I am 100% positive because when I woke up in a sweat, I wrote it down. CYNTHIA NIXON! But killing Cynthia Nixon for food freaks out Big Series and he starts crying. No. Weeping. Loudly. Booby, Scott and I leave him in the basement and go upstairs. [Scene missing] Big Series builds an entire kitchen on top of where he has killed Cynthia Nixon and he hides their while the hog is prepared on top. We can hear him crying while we eat the hog right above him. [I awake]
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Your dream is scary. Very scary. Seriously, I think I peed myself a little.

I also think Andy Barker is a pretty good show. The action sequences are really absurd/well-constructed homages to early and mid-80s television (very Hart to Hart).

I'm hurt you are not dreaming of me.

You are worried about Big Series living among all those Cincinatians.
