Entertainment Tonight

For starters: Perhaps it is time for me to make this whole blag thing a regular habit. Why not? At least it isn't Xanga.

On my mind right now is this new fantasy television show called Legend of the Seeker. Episode one was aired on November 1, but I just found it on Hulu today.

Any who,

I'm about five minutes into the pilot episode and I must say that I'm quite impressed with how stereotypical the show is.

Opening scene: large breasted women are riding horses, fleeing from some "damsel in distress" inducing problem. The women are clad in flattering, low cut dresses which one would assume to be too impractical for equine recreation. One dies, one epically escapes using some form of witchery. Cue epic opening theme song played on top of Peter Jackson-esque scenery shots.

Scene two opens with a close up of some shirtless beefcake's abs as he uses an ax in a most manly fashion. Presumably this is the protagonist, given the amount of on camera time his pecs got.

After finishing the episode, I realized that I need not comment any further than the opening scenes. The script writing, acting, and plot make it very clear as to why the show had to use sex appeal to hook you into watching. After the boobs, Legend of the Speaker goes downhill. As fantasy shows go, this one fell down the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

If you are itching for an idea of the current plot line, think about Star Wars and King Arthur having an inbred child.

For something more entertaining, here is a video that proves Japanese cops are trained in how to use a lightsaber. It's worth your time, trust me. I'd like to think that the guy at the end is saying "Princess Leia gives me a boner, desu!" But it's probably just a quick advertisement for Panty Vending Machines.


That's all for now.
