John McCain' 2008 Presidential Campaign
Why It Should Be Awesome Well, luckily for you, the world's second-most famous Republican got his reputation by butting heads with the aforementioned unpopular president. His name is John McCain, and he wants to run. In McCain you have an appealing set of contradictions: he was a congressman and senator who isn't seen as another corrupt Washington insider. He was a war veteran, but seems less hawkish than most Republicans. He looks like he belongs in a Centrum Silver commercial, but he seems more at ease on The Daily Show than some of the show' own correspondents. As if that wasn't enough, McCain got Terry Nelson, the man who managed the seemingly impossible task of getting Bush re-elected in 2004, to manage his campaign. To the Republicans, McCain was less the front runner and more a gift sent straight from the heavens. What Went Wrong And so once more we find out that politics is a ravenous beast that eats good men and shits party hacks. McCain had to start pandering to the Christian-Republican base (right, burying his face in the president's chest) and in the process stopped paying attention to the things that made people like him so much in the first place. Perhaps McCain was managed (or over-managed) by the wrong guy. After all, Nelson had his most notable success with a president whose popularity was at an all-time low. Still others blame his startling similarity in both looks and back story to ex-Vietnam commando and disguise specialist John "Hannibal" Smith. These days McCain is considered a long shot, especially after July 10, 2007, when Nelson abandoned the campaign. Oh, and according to the Washington Post, a co-chair for his campaign was recently arrested for "offering to perform oral sex on an undercover officer" in a public bathroom, giving McCain' campaign the one kind of scandal the party cannot tolerate: the gay sex kind. #4.

Why It Should Have Been Awesome What Went Wrong
Kim gets into a car accident en route to Los Angeles. Then she wanders into a bear trap. Yes, a bear trap. Where she is menaced by a nearby cougar. Instead of eating the shit out of her helpless ass, the cougar opts to stroll off in search of even easier prey: a woman in a bear trap with no arms, lying on a plate with an apple in her mouth, perhaps. We don't even get a chance to think about Kim starving to death when, just as quickly as she stepped into a bear trap, she is rescued by some random, roving lunatic, who, after releasing her from the trap, soundly disappears. The entire, ridiculous chain of events has precisely zero effect on the story and left us half expecting to find out it was all a crazy dream Jack was having during a much-needed power nap. For a show infamous for juggling a dizzying array of action and twisty plots, hours six through eight seems like the one time the crew took their eye off the balls and let them go bouncing haphazardly around the room. Why It Should Have Been Awesome What Went Wrong But the biggest problem was the show within the show: Sorkin is the best around at writing dialogue when the stakes are high and national security is on the line. He won Emmys for doing it on West Wing and is responsible for the line "You can't HANDLE THE TRUTH!" Unfortunately that' the only tone he knows, and when you take Sorkin characters out of a military tribunal, and put them back stage on a comedy show, they'd better be talking about the funniest damn show in the history of TV. Otherwise the whole level of screaming urgency is going to feel a little unearned. Sorkin apparently realized this, and injected the dialogue with comments about how the media was calling the show within the show the most important thing to happen to the planet Earth, ever! Of course, it wasn't (otherwise, why not just make that show and skip the middle man.) It was more like watching the cast of Mad TV have an off night. To put it another way: How are you supposed to care about what goes on behind the scenes of a show that would ask Howie Mandell to guest host? #2.
2001-2007 New York Knicks
Why They Should Have Been Awesome So why don't you hear NBA fans complaining about the Knicks' out-of-control spending each postseason? What Went Wrong
So how have the Knicks' brass responded to Thomas' management style, which the press has affectionately described as "erratic" and "rudderless?" Well, after years of embarrassing failure as president, they hired him as their coach. No, not instead of, but in addition to his role as prez. Then, in the middle of a mediocre season as the coach, they gave him a ludicrous contract extension, basically giving Hinckley a contract extension after he' not surprisingly shot you in the back, reloading his gun for him and then handcuffing yourself to his wrist. #1.
The Star Wars Holiday Special
Why It Should Have Been Awesome What Went Wrong Chewbacca's family, taking a cue from the audience, apparently would rather watch anything else, so we're occasionally treated to whatever happens to be on their TV. On one channel, you can find Luke Skywalker waving and smiling. On another, you can find-you guessed it-Bea Arthur singing and dancing with a bunch of puppets (Holy shit! You guessed that?). A third channel features Princess Leia singing a "Lifeday" song to the Star Wars theme. Look, describing any more of the plot would just be beating around the bush; if you're really brave you can check out this compilation of the highlights: Or you could just take our word that the film is total shit. Even George Lucas, an open advocate of total shit, has said that if he "had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every bootlegged copy of that program and smash it." If we had a time machine and a sledgehammer, we'd go right to the source, George. |
i love grindhouse, very entertaining
to be fair, grindhouse failed because american audiences have no patience or imagination. P.T. Barnum said "If they like one elephant, they'll love two elephants." Unless they are idiot modern american movie goers who can't wrap their minds around getting two great movies for the price of one. Inside joke? sure. But at the same time, two smashingly entertaining films? Absolutely. The reason it failed is because most of the american movie going audience has the emotional maturity of an 8 year old.

haha, it's funny that he is now the Republican Presidential Nominee. I would say keep it around for posterity, but maybe make a footnote.
I know this was written a while ago, but if you made it now, you'd probably replace John McCain's campaign with Giuliani's. Since John McCain's been doing well and Giuliani's campaign just tanked.
Basically, most TV fare is a waste. The "drama" is gone, and it's all tittilation from now on. There's more sex on TV than out on the street, and we could use more sex on the street!

There are a surprising amount of celebs that, honestly, we expected better from.
Quite simply, these people should not exist.
Like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, but with STDs.

Not quite as useful as "look both ways."
