People Suck

CSI: Miami is a spin-off of the excellent series series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, but, I'm sorry, I must tell you: it sucks!

I don't even understand how two series from the same producer can be so different.

CSI: Miami has got it all: uninteresting plots, dull characters, bad crime-solving, bad crimes and bad acting… Especially from the main character, the Miami Grisson, Horatio Caine, played by the unbearably inexpressive, intolerably boring David Caruso. I'm not even mentioning the endless pauses and dramatic glances between characters usually followed by one of Horatio's philosophical lines. It's just hilarious.

Oh, and don't they ever get tired of those scenes with the close up on Horatio's sunglasses as if it would create some kind of tension?

And don't adjust the TV!! It's just the series. I think that their idea of Miami is a bunch of saturated warm colors and distinct bright lighting... All the time.

So, I had absolutely nothing to do, then I turned on the TV. CSI: Miami was on. Before I instinctively change channels I heard something about Horatio killing a guy in Brazil.
The brief mentioning of my country in the series was enough for me to stick around for a couple of minutes and see what that was about.

It seems Horatio came to Brazil chasing the killer of this Marisol woman (sorry I don't watch it enough to know who the hell Marisol is), and while in this country he killed the guy.
The interesting thing was that, in this episode Horatio was being arrested by the Brazilian Federal police and quickly extradited to Brazil for trial!

HEL- LO -OOOW!

I know, I know, I should know better than questioning the veracity of the events in a TV series...
But in which planet does an American cop gets extradited to a 3rd world country to be arrested for killing a perp?!
Not to mention these evens happened in the same day he was tipped off in what I expect to be an anonymous call (since if the woman identified herself, it would be even more implausible, for she is involved in a murder investigation).

Oh, no, wait. When Horatio arrives in Brazil he is not arrested. I guess those guys in olive green jumpsuit were not the Federal Police, cuz he was taken to the mansion (with a view to the Sugar Loaf) of some kind of crime lord who decides to let him go free, but not before giving him a gun, since he's "made a lot of enemies last time he was in Rio."

What the f...?

People, I warn you, CSI: Miami is just bad, bad TV!

Eu adoro ver o Louro José com roupinhas de gente!!!

É muito fofo!

I bet I've spoken about this here before, haven't I?

Well, one given day the redneck, slacker, beer-in-the-morning, no-good thief Earl Hickey buys a winning lottery ticket, only to get hit by a car, losing the ticket in the process.
"Bad Luck?" - one would ask.

I don't think so!

While watching the Carson Daly show at the hospital Earl has an epiphany!
He was the kind of guy who does nothing but bad things and wonders why the hell things go wrong for him. The answer was simple: Karma.

Today I woke up and I had this song stuck in my head...
It's a short song, and it's been on a loop over and over!

I still got it, I've been humming it at work and I'm pretty sure people think I'm weird.
So i'm just gonna post it here in hopes it'll just get out of my system.

Smelly Cat, Smelly cat what are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, smelly cat it's not your fault...
They won't take you to the vet.
You're obviously not their favorite pet.
You may not be a bed of roses,
And you're no friend to those with noses.
Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you?
Smelly cat, smelly cat it's not your fault!

Surreal, I know.

...um post pra tirar o pó.

Afinal, o Opera estava fora do ar várias vezes essa semana que passou.
Eu bem que tentei postar.

Nada realmente pra dizer.
Estou gostando da série do People + Arts "The Tudors" - que conta a história da Dinastia Tudor no trono da Inglaterra. Neste caso mostrando o Rei Henrique VIII, seu reino e suas esposas.

A série tráz o ator irlandês Jonathan Rhys Meyers (do surreal Velvet Goldmine e do divertido Procura-se Finbar) como o rei Henry VIII, que governou a Inglaterra entre 1491 e 1547.
Até agora na série podemos ver o desenrolar da história até o momento que ele tenta anular o casamento com Catherine de Aragon para casar-se com Anne Boleyn (esta que foi mãe da grande Elizabeth - A Rainha Virgem, cuja sequência cinematográfica está perto de estrear). Não sei até que ponto veremos a vida do Rei Henrique, ams espero que até o final, pois ele é um rei deveras interessante.
E se você dormiu na aula de história e não sabe o que aconteceu com as 6 esposas do rei, aqui vai um breve resumo:
Uma morreu. Uma sobreviveu. Duas divorciadas. Duas Decaptadas.

Eu que não casava com esse Rei.
