usually i'd want to answer an obscure tv show with a cult following, but i dont know many elusive tv shows. i could answer Skins too, with its awesome soundtracks, spliff and general epicness, but if i were to choose between a teen drama or a comedy i would choose comedy any day. which is why my current favorite tv program is How I Met Your Mother.
HIMYM is just adorable. sharp writing, exceptional wit, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, small doses of drama, just enough intrigue to pique my curiousity to keep coming back for more, JASON SEGEL, inside jokes, a conclusion to wait for and remarkable storytelling make me love HIMYM more with every episode i watch. but more than anything, HIMYM's biggest assets are its well-written, carefully developed and completely endearing characters.
my main reason for watching tv shows is for relaxation and to make me forget about my own problems and issues for a while. HIMYM takes care of that need as they pile on witty catchphrases and hilarious events one after the other. it just guarantees laughter and smiles for 30 whole minutes. which is why i'm gonna have to choose HIMYM over Skins, even if they're not meant to be compared, really. :))

P.S I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 100TH EPISODE ON MONDAY :D :D :D :D :D
did you guys know Madonna's ex-husband directed Sherlock Holmes? i've always only known Guy Ritchie as Madonna's (then) husband, i never knew he was actually a director! :)) in any case his directing was pretty commendable; although Rotten Tomatoes says that it didnt fit with the whole classic Holmes storytelling thing. i personally found it highly entertaining, but that's because if a movie has cheeky dialogue, unusual screenplay and of course catchy soundtracks (you go, Hans Zimmer, AGAIN), i'd be good with it. but i'm no Holmes stories geek and i can see why hardcore fans/longtime readers are disappointed. but of course, RDJ was so endearing! he could very well be the best part of the movie. kooky, scruffy smartass characters with personality defects are always so appealing...and sexy! (i.e House, Jack Sparrow, Dr Spencer Reid, L..etc)
i love that the charm of Sherlock Holmes was so modernized, the fact that he was turned into a jujitsu expert didnt bother me at all because i guess if thats what it takes to show how badass he is, then so be it. i also adored the use of Snyder-esque elements in the action scenes and how it was sometimes reminiscent of Burton's dark sense of humor. its too bad though that this movie wont probably be too memorable to many because its sort of an "in-the-middle" movie. i'd bet that there will be 2 kinds of people who would want to watch Sherlock Holmes, the ones who want to see the celluloid interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective- meaning they expect a highly intellectual period film; and the ones who want to watch it for entertainment. the latter would probably appreciate the movie more because of RDJ's performance and the spunky cinematography...given that they get it, and by get it i mean they understand the plot, references and humor. the former crowd will probably be disappointed because of the lack of in-depth focus on the logic and deductive skills of the Sherlock Holmes. eitherway, since the movie tries to compromise with both crowds, it ends up leaving both not quite satisfied.
overall if one hasnt been waiting for this movie ever since its press release, or if he doesnt find RDJ's awesomness reason enough to watch, then i guess he can probably wait until it comes out on tv/dvd.
i've been raving about Fight Club for a couple of years now, so i'll gush about this particular movie that came as a close second in my favorite movies list.
Fight Club was awesome to me because the story and narration was so dark, gritty, urban, cold and very elaborate. i especially loved small, significant details like how tyler durden would be shown in just a single, fleeting frame before he was introduced. it defined "movie with a huge cult following". but i said i wouldnt ramble about Fight Club today.
literally my earliest influence on my love for indie movies and film in general, 70's colors, witty, deadpan comedy and even smoking was the movie The Royal Tenenbaums. i may have only been 9 or 10 when i first watched it, but i never forgot the montage about Margot Tenenbaum's life or the Richie suicide attempt scene. it was completely life-changing, and that's why this post is dedicated to it today. Wes Anderson remains my favorite director, and i love that all his films consistently have that vintage, dysfunctional, unpretentious charm.
"I think he's very lonely. Lonelier than he lets on. Maybe lonelier than he even realizes." -Richie Tenenbaum on Royal
to be honest, i dont really want to identify a single, go-to, ultra favorite song. most of the time i'd have a song or a set of songs that i'd need to hear daily and eventually other songs will replace my current favorites. i particularly love songs that i get from tv shows and movies because i associate them with the scenes i find most memorable.
right now, i'm loving a lot of songs from the Skins soundtrack, especially Hummer by Foals (okay, i heard it in the Unseen Secret Party episode, and it quite blew my mind). i mean, just watch the epic-ness at the scene they used it on!
some other favorite songs i've had:
500 Miles by The Proclaimers (heard in recurring episodes of HIMYM)
Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (heard in Watchmen)
Dragonfly by M. Craft (heard in Skins season 1)
Come Undone by Robbie Williams (heard on MTV 6 years ago)
1901 by Phoenix (heard in New York, I Love You trailer)
Marla by The Dust Brothers (heard in Fight Club soundtrack)
