The Office

Nothing really interesting to say,so i posted up these two pics-of Julliete Lewis (of JL & The Licks) & Karen O (of the YeahYeahYeahs-a.k.a The Bestest Best Band Ever) and hope they'll keep making music till the day i stop breathing.On a side note,these two articles about Lost say that the six episodes that will begin showing on Feb 7 onwards (after a long,frustrating hiatus) will provide all the answers viewers have been incessantly begging for,and that this might possibly be the final season.Usually if a good show decides to call it quits (say,The Office or 24-which two-part season premiere started last night) i wouldn't be too happy about it but unlike these other shows Lost counts most on quality and the episodes that have been aired were all incredibly intense,fulfilling and just fucking awesome.So it's good that they end it now before the show gets draggy,empty and stupid (i'm talking to you,OC & Six Feet Under).

To anyone who hasn't watched The Office US before,i higly recommend it.If i were t give few reasons why it's the funniest show to have ever existed i'd say mainly because Steve Carrell & Rainn Wilson (who,ironically,had a part as a very serious character in Six Feet Under during its huge downfall post-season 2) are so freaking hilarious,the rest of the cast members are equally pitch-perfect in their performances and enjoyable to watch,and the character development's done without hurry-so by the end of season 2 the characters who you might have thought as pitiful would turn out to be annoying,the bad guys seem deserving of some sympathy and other grey areas.But 90% of this show's success should be attributed to Steve Carrell,who effortlessly holds it all together.

The Golden Globe results are probably out by now,but the fact that Babel received so many nominations and Meryl Streep got nominated for Best Actress (i mean,sure her acting was brilliant but the movie was cheap and easy rubbish) still frustrates me,and i still don't get why everyone's raving about Heroes.The Pursuit of Happyness,which was so draggy it made me want to pull my hair out and burn myself (it was at least 30 minutes too long) had a boring plot and were full of miscast actors (Thandie Newton is just invincible in her role) but the one thing right,which made it all forgivable and a movie almost worth watching,was placing the focal point on Will Smith,who manages to elevate this humdrum melodrama to so much more-he's just incredible in this movie,especially the final scene where (spoiler!) Will Smith is told he's hired,and his eyes start become watery then he runs out to the street-that scene was just emotional,in every good sense of that word.
