Shouldn’t have left you.

Without a dope beat to step to.

WHAT IS UP, KIDZ!? I know…it’s been awhile. But The Littlest Winslow shall reign forever and always. No with classes over, I’m ready for a summer of fun in the sun, and smog on the blog!

What’s of greatest importance that lures me back to the depths of WordPress hell to write about?

Why, DR. HORRIBLE’S SING ALONG BLOG of course!

Coming soon to a computer near you… The story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. Featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.

Joss Whedon. What WILL he come up with next!?!?!

Season Pass is available on iTunes for a measly, skimpy $3.99! So yeah, it’ll be online for free for a week, or you can pay for quality comedic, fictional entertainment and support a little project that’s worth supporting!

Review of Act 1 to follow. Sometime.

and oh yeah…check out the trailer for the roject HEREEEEEE.

I wish Jack Bauer would come back and bitchslap Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Locke and every other character on Lost.

‘Cuz seriously. If he did, he’d totally fuck them up, not give a shit about any ghost-like-man-thing named Jacob, pistol whip Ben until his face is more red than skin-toned, and then go have a beer.

Last night’s conclusion to the trite, overdone, and painfully…well, painful season 4 left me feeling like a deer in headlights.  “Are they serious right now?” I asked myself. “Is this a trick?”

Locke. Duh.  OF COURSE IT WAS LOCKE.  I’ve been telling people for A FRIGGIN YEAR that it was Locke. Whatever. Amongst my posse of four, I said I wished the Cloverfield monster came to eat everyone on the island, freighter people and all. Then after another 30 minutes, I said it again.

How did Lost get so far away from the point? What is it even about anymore!?!? I don’t have a REMOTE clue. Nor do I care anymore.

And that’s just sad.

To say anymore would just prove that Lost is STILL sucking the life out of my time, and the time out of my life.  See ya next year, Lost.

pause.

NOT.

The clusterfuck of the 50/50 raffle

Posted in dog and pony show on May 16, 2008 by NICK

me: I never understood how 50/50 raffles can be 50/50… maybe I never will…

Taylor: as far as i’m concerned everything is 50/50


me: well that’s an interesting perspective
hmm

10:39 PM. Thursday. ABC.

And if I don’t find out who or what the deal with Jacob is…I am not watching “Lost” next year. I’ll watch it on MY time when I feel like it.

Will The Jacob Strike happen?

Find out tonight in the last 15 minutes of Lost! Or the next episode. Or the next episode. Or the one after that. Why are we still giving a shit again?

*edit* We didn’t find out tonight. We never will. It’s useless.

But mark my words: If we don’t find out about Jacob in the next 3 episodes (through the end of Season 4) I will become a DVD watcher of Lost and will boycot the show until it hits DVD.  THE JACOB STRIKE SHALL PROSPER.

Bottom of the 9th, two outs, and ‘30 Rock’ is at the plate

Posted in To care or not to care on May 8, 2008 by NICK

When Tina Fey’s ‘30 Rock’ started, it was a diamond in the rough. An original, fascinatingly funny sitcom-esque tale of the behind-the-scenes of a network television show. Fey’s dorky wit, paired nicely with Tracy Morgan’s borderline-retarded Tracy Jordan, Jane Krakowski’s dim witted blonde Jenna Maroney, Alec Baldwin’s…well, just how do you describe Donaghy?

Every character had something special to offer, and with an entire “writing team” of secondary characters, the humor was always new and fresh, with each joke being vastly different from the last.

But I’m kind of bored now. And it’s only Season 2. That’s not a good sign! Even though I’ll positively watch ‘30 Rock’ til its end (which is hopefully on Fey’s terms), something is missing, man! What (or who) is to blame? The writer’s strike? The writers themselves? I can’t seem to pinpoint what is missing exactly. The Office has been mediocre for me too. And Lost has been meh all year. It could very well be the mid-season disruption that is leaving this gentle viewer unfulfilled (lookie, a Jane Espenson nod!).

It’s game time, Fey! The ‘hit or miss’ conundrum needs to end. We know you’re funny. The show is and can be even super-er. Fantastical! Beyond our wildest dreams! When on, 30 Rock is ON. But for every ball hit out of the park, 1 or 2 episodes strike out.

And that sucks.

Remembering Harold & Kumar

Posted in dog and pony show on May 8, 2008 by NICK

As promised, here is my sloppy, half-untrue-because-I-was-really-messed-up review of Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay. (Note to self: “Guantanamo” is probably spelled wrong. You should look it up.) (*Edit Note to self*: Not doing it. Way too lazy).

It’s cliche, but “it was good, but not as good as the first!” Wink. Nod. Smile. Insert enthusiasm.

Was it something to write home blog about? Maybe, maybe not. Partly, because it wasn’t better than the first (not to its disadvantage!) and partly because I don’t want to ruin the insane, random, non-sensical, and OUTRAGEOUS happenings in the stoner-sequel extravaganza.

Survey says: Don’t go see it sober. But go see it!

And you know what that means.

3.5 Netflix stars out of 5!

The poster? It had me at hello.

Speechless.

(This post contains a spoiler from tonight’s SURVIVOR. This is your one and only warning.)

I don’t exactly know what to write. I mean, the title says it all.

This wasn’t even an unplayed hidden immunity idol. He HAD the REAL immunity idol!

ERIK. WHAT THE FUCK, MAN!?!

To sum for those who don’t care/didn’t watch…he gave away his immunity idol to Natalie based on a “promise” the final 4 girls gave him: that they would vote Amanda out. Clearly, they outwitted him. And it didn’t take much.

Would Erik have won this game if he stayed? Maybe not. Probably not. But dammit, E. I liked you.

I feel bad saying this, but congratulations on becoming the dumbest Survivor player ever. =/

*edit* I apologize for TLW becoming a Survivor-only blog lately, but it’s the only thing that’s really holding my attention. Especially with Lost sucking royal dick.

Yup. I said it.

Best. Survivor. Ever.

Posted in To care on May 1, 2008 by NICK

Why. Do. I. Keep. Writing. In. One. Word. Sentences. ?

The year of the blindside strikes again!

And here she is ladies and gentlemen:

Amanda Kimmel for the win! Amanda successfully found the hidden immunity idol, tricked her fellow castaways into thinking she didn’t have it, and perfectly played it to nab herself immunity and send Alexis packin’.  Now that was FAN-tastic television.

So who’s left? From the favorites: Natalie and Eric. And the faves: Parvati, Amanda, and Cirie.

Five are left and only 1 will be the sole survivor.

Personally, I’m rootin’ for Eric. But he’s going to need to ride immunity til the end. One loss and he’s outta there.  UNLESS, he can strike a deal with Parv and Amanda, but after trying to vote Amanda out, that’s unlikely.

Can Natalie swing Eric over to her side to guarantee her and Cirie to the final 3? Will Eric just be voted out as expendable? Or will Parvati continue to mastermind the game…or so she thinks…

This is why Survivor Micronesia has been the best. season. ever. I’m glad I decided to watch again. It’s good to be back.

Mario Kart Wii. Is. Amazing.

Posted in Check this bee.. on May 1, 2008 by NICK

Mario Kart Wii was released this week, and I haven’t had time to write about it yet because I couldn’t drag myself away from it.

It. Is. Ridiculous.

Wow.

Killer graphics. Fun wheel accessory. The most difficult tracks ever on a Kart game. AND BRILLIANT WIFI. Probably the best wifi incorporation the Wii has seen thus far.

BUY THIS GAME.

I’d write more…but really you should just play with me.

Yup.

Why cleaning your room is sometimes super awesome.
