Man Lives in a Sun-Drenched World

Tony and I watched a lot of pretty good movies and TV over the last two weeks. It's been kind of hard to write about because I don't write well and Tony's fingers are delineated by threads of string which makes it hard for him to type. 

As promised in the last post, we watched Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross. The first hour was just as good as we expected. We never got to the second half because I kept pausing the movie to txt msg people about how good it was. I hear someone gets shot in the end, and I don't doubt it, but I like to think the third act is handled with classy dialog instead of violence. 

There are some people out there, mostly crazy bitches, trying to get the scoop on what Tony and I are all about, and what makes us tick, and how they can get into our heads. Well, look no further than SeaQuest DSV. We are all about submarines, Jonathan Brandis, Teen Beat magazine covers featuring J.B., and wikipedia articles about his suicide. We have spent the last three months falling asleep to the first and second seasons of Seaquest. The first season was actually pretty good, except for a few episodes about ghost ships and undersea aliens, it was all about near-future hard, undersea, science.  Tony especially liked the credit sequences that featured Bob Ballard trying make a connection between the fictional mayhem and some sort of 90's sea-science. 

Season two is complete shit, except for the dude with gills and his dumb brother. The whole cast was raped and the survivors were traumatized right out of character. Fuck season two.

Tony and I watched "The Amanda Show Volume 1", which we expected to be disc one of season one, but was in fact randomly selected episodes of season two. It was pretty good nonetheless. 

We've got a lot more to say, but we're going to keep it bottled up inside until it explodes in post three of "TONYANDMEWATCHTV:RESURRECTED". Until then, try to enjoy the daylight - because we preordered Season one of "Tales from the Darkside".

Back with a Vengance

Tony and Me are back on the blogging scene. After I deleted our last blog, TonyandMeWatchTV, we wandered from forum to forum getting banned for posting about what we had recently watched on Televison. Then we didn't watch TV at all for like a week and a half. Now we are back on the wagon and felt like people were still clamoring to know what we've seen on TV.

Well, we've watched a lot of interesting stuff and intend to continue watching, and blogging about what we watch. Mostly we watch Netflix "Watch instantly" programs, mostly. We got Netflix because there was a two week trial and Tony said we could watch a million DVD in two weeks and then cancel the account, but what happened is that it took a week and a half to get the first DVD's in the mail because the mailmen in New Jersey are all thieves. My credit card was autobilled before we could even return "I Spit on You're Grave" and the rest is about to make blogging history - again!

Last night we tried to watch Network, and it was great! I fell asleep in the middle of the movie because I had to go to work the next day, but it seemed pretty awsome. 

Tony and Me also discovered this TV show called Kolchak: The Night Stalker which is a goofy 70's show kind of like Tales From the Darkside. It Follows Carl Kolchak, a reporter who encounters supernatural entities. Darin McGavin plays Kolchak; you might remember him as the Dad from "A Christmas Story" or some shit. Whatever. The theme song is great and Tony and Me have tried to use it as our couple's whistle when we get seperated at parties or lost in the grocery store, but it's pretty hard to whistle.

We also watched all 15 episodes of Surface, a scifi number about mutant sea monsters. FUCK SURFACE. The first three episodes are kind of interesting because they we're written as a miniseries. Then the show turns to total shit. There was a scene in episode five or so when a boy skipping school was in the same grocery store as his mom. She thinks she sees him and does a double take. In the time it takes for her to walk down the isle where she saw him, the son and a friend had hidden in a shelf behind a bunch of paper towels. The only reason we watched all 15 episodes is because I like Lighton Meester now. She wears bikinis everyother episode in Surface. You might know her from Gossipgirl, but I don't because I've never watched more that five minutes of Gossipgirl (Tony watched two and a half episodes and says Meester is hot, but it's not worth it (He preffers Privilidged, I guess)). 

Anyhow, the Glenn Garry, Glenn Ross DVD should come in the mail soon. So expect a rundown of how great it is in the next week.
