Why TV Sucks!

Why?

lolz I dont know anymore.. but maybe not the TV, but the TV Show.. but I believe you all get what the idea when I say "TV Sucks", right?!

I forgot when was the last time I really interested in TV show. That's ironic, coz at very young age, I really really like to watch tv. Maybe because there were lots of great cartoon, anime and great movies on tv back at that time. But nowadays I think the most interesting thing in tv are advertisements. They are somehow entertaining and creative.

Indeed, most of my watching tv time was spent for watching ads, and skipping from channel to channel randomly watch some ads.

The second interesting thing is NEWS. But somehow news no longer interested. I got this strange feeling as if the news is somehow repeated or not really NEW anymore.. maybe because newspaper is free here..

Other things that sometime is interesting are those kinda nat geo documentary episodes, though I never turn on the tv to watch them on purpose.. just once in a while when I was crossing the living room and got caught by it, or when it got something exciting that makes my flat mate scream or doing things-that-people-do-when-they-got-exciting-by-tv-show..

But just that, the other things there are totally crap.. cheap candid drama, stupid reality show, and other trash that are not worth any second of my time..

So nothing really interest me there, so I gave up and hate TV. Yes, I hate tv. If I must force myself to watch TV I can watch ads,... but just watching ads on tv while hoping there's a good show come up is really really stupid in my opinion.. TV sucks man!

But if I'm going deeper with that, I think all that also happened because of the existence of Internet. I could always find almost all things on TV from Internet, and even better than how it were on TV. Some youtube channels are really good in my opinion. For news, I think internet delivers it "completely", where you can google or wikiped-ing details that interest you,.. then as another added values, internet also offers you to tell your opinion, comment, spam there,.. that either makes you a good benefactor, a wise smarty ass, or a cruel anonymous netizen..

And the greatest thing on internet is that you, yourself, can find out, control and interact with endless choices of information, show, news, and all things internet has out here, compared to small amount of channel/program that a tv cable provider offers you by paying not cheap submission...

Yes, I know that TV Show and Internet are different animals,.. But to be specific, let's take focus Youtube for comparison,.. For me, Youtube is somehow replace the TV. Maybe that because I'm a music-junkie-epic-failed-anti-social-nerd whose profile preference match most of youtube channels..

And you know what, I can host a show on youtube where thousand of people can watch my show, which again I'm not sure I could do with TV.

Indeed, I got thousand views on my channel, lolz...

Black Swan, Natalie Portman and Taylor Swift

Like I always said, I always try to be open minded. So I have no big deal about Britney being Britney and Lindsay being Lindsay.. I love them both when they were bright and once nice girl, but I dont know why I just dont have that much of love for them now.

I even forgot about Britney most of the times, but who remembers her now? I rarely hear her. I think she pays a big price by becoming wild and crazy. Different story with Lindsay, I heard things about her once in a times. Sadly most of them, like 90%, were about "something" Lindsay recently did, maybe cool things but in a bad way. A bit crazy and wild is okay I think, but the most important is how they hold their ground and keep producing "healthy" breakthrough rather than something crazy and stupid in a "way" people hardly seen any sense whatsoever. I wish she still can manage to came out with great work that would make her more to eccentric and less insane.


So what about Natalie Portman and Taylor Swift? Simply put, they both my new favorite now.

Well I've been in love with Portman since.. hmm, I forgot when, lolz. But I think Star Wars makes everything lovely just about Queen Amidala. That's why I love Kiera, Portman and Rose Byrne.

According to what I read, Portman is a smart girl, and very talented actress. Black Swan and Oscar confirmed it just now. So how about if Portman went wild, crazy and do what Lindsay does? Well, as long as she keep amaze me with her talent, I will always love her. Fair enough, isnt it?! And though she does, maybe I'll see all that as something cool and artistic in a way normal people not be able to reach and understand. Just like Johny Depp.

Okay, and Taylor Swift?

Well she's my new favorite. To be honest it's because she is my kinda type in a sense of beauty. Yes, I mean she is beautiful. But more than that, she definitely got talent. That's for sure. And after reading a lot about her achievement (yes I just know she exist last December), I am more than sure to promote her to my new favorite now.

I have high hope for her to always keep up the good work. And like Portman, it's okay for her to go wild and crazy.

Britney and Lindsay sure broke my heart, I hope Taylor Swift wouldn't do that. Because finding a favorite is very damn hard nowadays.


List of my favorites for now:
1. Taylor Swift
2. Natalie Portman
3. Rose Byrne


And for Black Swan, only one word: PERFECT!!
I haven't felt like this in a long time. There's rarely any movies made me feel like this. Not even Inception.
