Out of this World!

I was watching the movie, "The Candidate" (1972)yesterday, on Bravo. Was a great movie, and I remember my professor telling us about a similar documentary movie- "The War Room (I had to look this up on Google)". The prof. distinctly gushed about a scene where there is a lot of confusion regarding Chinese take-out. Now I saw a similar scene in "The Candidate." I don't really know what my point is, it was just very surprising. Perhaps the point is just that take out is very confusing, in general.

Oh! And it was the Apprentice Finale yesterday. Though they coated it in oodles of sugar, I think Bill won hands down. And I also think that the whole thing was rigged from the beginning. And reality shows are getting to be boring, especially the Bachelor kinds. I think people are sick of that, so unless something big comes up, the wave is going to subside pretty soon, and so the Networks better milk the audience out. One more problem with it is there's not much rerun value, as opposed to sitcoms like Seinfeld, which is on its 32nd rerun, with my husband just saying the dialogues along with the characters and refusing to watch anything else.

And we saw Spike TV the other day, the Star Trek series was going on. Forgive me, but I have never been a fan of it, and when you look at it objectively, you do feel that it's a stretch of your imagination. To watch these ppl with ape-ish masks and some markings on their nose and imagine that they are aliens? After ET, I guess all concepts of aliens changed, and I still think that it's our homo-sapieno centric view that makes us think that they will have a face, a body, and legs for locomotion. When they finally do arrive, they're going to be in a form that no-one ever imagined. Perhaps just a mouth (Wait a minute, sorry- that's my mother-in-law!), or just a rectangular block, or spherical (that WOULD be easy for locomotion).

That's my 2c on aliens. I guess I'll return when I actually have something to say!
