Tiger Does not Keep an Eye on Fire Hydrants
Looks like Tiger Woods will be cited for reckless driving for his predawn, post-Thanksgiving automobile accident. This story is pretty bizarre, and since it came on the heels of tabloid allegations that Tiger has a secret mistress, speculation runs rampant: did Woods intentionally smash his car, to coverup injuries sustained elsewhere*, such as in a physical altercation with Mrs. Elin Woods? Was Tiger distraught over the end of his marriage, causing one of the world's greatest athletes to drive soberly off the road? Wanda Sykes has some input...
*This is the "Sons of Anarchy" theory, for those in the know.
I should leave this kind of stuff to the experts
NY Mag is superior to AMDAL. There, I've said it.
Breathe.
OK, so in a spirit of deference, I refer you to the following articles. The first is about why it's tiring to have so many good shows on TV. The second is why the producers of Heroes should jump off a bridge. Have you seen it? Why can't one of the characters have some sense of continuity? Turning it on requires an understanding that you'll say, "This doesnt make any fucking sense!" at least three times in one episode. Its horrible and I can't stop watching.
In other TV-related news, can someone give me an FNL update? Instead of just watching I'll just wait for Forrest to give me the rundown, per last time.
Sons of Anarchy
Is it just me or is TV, really, really good these days? Music has been in a 20-year freefall, but the boob tube has continued to amaze. On AMDAL this year, we've raved about FNL, John Adams, Mad Men and a few others. And the party doesn't stop there. New to FX is "Sons of Anarchy," about a young biker gang and their wives / girlfriends. Besides the swearing, gun-fights, babes and bad-ass beat downs, the characters have heart. Think Sopranos with Harleys.
Arguably the best part is that you can catch a smattering of the episodes on Hulu, aka YouTube Premium. And if you haven't checked out Hulu, you should. Even the commercials are good.
