Archived entries for Brilliant but Cancelled!

Brilliant! But…never seen?

So, as you may all know, I’m a communication arts major in college.

That being said, I have “labs” just like physics, chemistry, and biology majors have labs.

These labs, however, are not boring and do not involve chemicals, pig livers, or chloroplast. Instead, we watch movies and TV shows.

So, all semester long, my film professor has been truly offending me with his film choices. Really, who wants to watch a 2 hour German film about Vampires? No. one.

I think he got the point and ultimately decided that he would mix up the repertoire and not just show us 130 minutes of boring. Alas, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang.

If you haven’t seen this movie – STOP reading, put on your shoes, your jacket, a bra, you should probably brush your teeth too, and GO see it.

It is probably the most hilarious movie I have seen in a while. Okay, so you don’t trust me? I wouldn’t blame you! (tough_love is known to *love* Gossip Girl, The Bachelor, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.) But, I’m telling you – this is different.

It’s an absolutely fabulous movie and I need you all to see it (and if you have, I need you to love it as much as I do). If you don’t – I don’t want to hear that nonsense because you’re not a communication arts (TV/Film/Radio) major and therefore have no knowledge about what a good film is. (I mean, I just said that I love Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.)

SO, the point is – this movie is BRILLIANT. Absolutely brilliant

Oh, and because I go to a university where the Coast/Midwest war is heating up – here’s my favorite line from the movie: “I mean, it’s literally like someone took America by the East Coast and *shook* it, and all the normal girls managed to hang on.

no love but tough love.

Brilliant but cancelled! still in denial….will write more when i’m no longer in shock

After the recent cancellation of “Arrested Development” I started thinking – why have there been so many amazing shows that end when “Private Practice” and “Gossip Girl” still earn air time. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around that

About two years ago, I was personally affected by the TV industry’s decision to cancel a certain show – “Veronica Mars.” Upon hearing the decision, I think I cried, screamed, kicked and then ate a pickle for comfort. How could ANYONE cancel a brilliant show like Veronica Mars?

Seriously, if you have never seen it then I highly recommend that you do (it’s in my store!). Until then….a moment of silence for “Veronica Mars,” a brilliant, yet cancelled piece of amazingness.

…which is then followed by…

Clemmons: Oh. [fake laugh] Your father has generously offered to donate a pair of boots for our school fundraising auction.
Logan: Not the ones made for walking? God, I love those boots.

So, my question is – what cancellation made you scream, kick, and eat a pickle? Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks (or undeclared), Rainbow Brite – take your pick but explain why!!
