A story of one girl’s obsession with books, movies and TV shows

Gossip Girl s2e11: Not so magnificent 19 November

Serena in GG s2e11

People, I’m so shocked right now I’m going to ask you in that wonderful Russian accent of mine:

Vot ze f*ck voz Serena vearing?

I noticed the trend, you know: they are dressing S. in more and more slutty outfits, I believe it is supposed to show her tits development as a person. Slightly slutty sexy S., I got it. But was it really intended to become ‘ouch, it fell into reaally hot water and shrank to fit a ten-year-old, lets throw in some cheap looking peasant blouse and heavy beads necklace‘ sexy?!?

House M.D. s5e07: now, where exactly do you have ‘The Itch’? 13 November

House writers, are you sh*tting me? In a show about irksome genius you give me an agoraphobic men who never leaves his house and writes manuals. Not only that, he also had a girlfriend or wife who coped with his quirks and was murdered. Where have I seen it? Oh, right, it’s Monk. Obsessive, compulsive, highly irritating genius detective. Two Monks, actually, Ambrose (locked in his house and writing manuals) and Adrian (whose wife was killed) merged into one patient. This is just lame. And the show is still on air, BTW.

And yet I loved the final sequence when the patient overcame his fears and walked out of the building and House couldn’t.

Blame it on my inner nerdiness or fortunate position of the constellations but I find TBBT hysterically funny. The casting is brilliant, the chemistry on screen — unmistakable, the scripts — pure joy. It’s one of those rare character-driven gems that lighten up your day after some TV show goes sour. I haven’t laughed that hard since IT Crowd (and with two seasons and 12 episodes total that was simply not enough).

The premise of the show is rather simplistic: The Nerd and The Nerdier roommates Leonard (IQ 173) and Sheldon (IQ 187) meet their new neighbour, pretty material girl Penny. The brainiacs have two friends: a horny engineer Howard Wolowitz and Raj, a cute astrophysicist who turns mute in front of girls. Leonard is less smart more social, so he immediately falls for Penny.

Gossip Girl s2: are they serving shrimps as boyfriends now? 11 November

Ok, I can’t stand silent. I wanted to do a full size review but I am just not able to bear it.

Serena is plain annoying, not so bad herself as a character but the quest of bringing her on a level higher than Blair makes the sunny blonde almost intolerable.

Dan was so sweet and good he made my teeth hurt. Then the whole Georgina affair, the aspiring young b*tch Jenny setting a bad example worked as a makeover. Yet the good-boy-turned-bad overture to new subplot did nothing to improve Dan’s rating. And yet, and yet…
