Actually I lied. I forgot about Jeopardy and The Daily Show which I skim through with dinner Tues-Fri. Add another 2 hours to my weekly TV viewing.

But basically, I have TV shows to watch on Sunday-Monday but not the other 5 days. And I like to have something to watch for the last hour or two before bed. Obviously there are movies but anyway, time for Game of Thrones. I haven't gotten my 75% of bandwidth warning for the month yet so I should be okay for downloading RIGHT NOW!

I would like to note that one of my early season Shameless predictions got a lot closer to coming true this week. I said Lip would end up boinking his roommate's girl whom, at the time, was treating him like dogshit. She sure got a whole lot chummier alluva sudden.

Standing by my other prediction of Steve/Jimmy showing up. Nothing to indicate it within the show but I ain't backing off.

:greencheck: :greencheck:

Predicting TV shows and guesstimating jelly beans in a jar - it is my place in the world.
 
Alright Shameless finale:

Lip's girlfriend is ata, love it. The diner scene was kind of interesting. Lip's movin on up. Sucked to see the little one get his heart ripped out I wanted him and that girl to keep rollin along I like their antics. The younger daughter continues to be annoying and Fiona I've pretty stopped caring about except that I hope Steve/Jimmy/Jack is there to dispose of her and does so, I was hoping she'd get the broomstick in prison. I thought that the bipolar thing for the one kid was dumb, total exaggeration. Frank the tank is funny I guess, the $500 casino voucher compensation for caring for the kids was probably the funniest part of the episode. Good season.
 
Have yet to watch the GoT S4 premiere. Too much time spent playing baby-plane.

It's up there. I couldn't rank or compare these shows, they're just too different. But Game of Thrones is way above the threshold of what I like to call smart TV.

Good TV can be a lot of things, but smart TV needs to reach a certain level of acting, writing, and cinematographic excellence. GoT checks all the boxes with ease.
 
A well-reviewed and fairly highly rated superhero movie that I do not anticipate ever seeing:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier


Not just because it's 2 hours, 16 minutes - which is ridiculous for a superhero movie - should be 90 minutes - period - not just because it's Captain America which, I'm sorry, is a pretty ralfable concept.

But I think it's superhero movies (do not call them films) in general. It has gone too far. Everyone just needs to CALM DOWN.

:yes: on all points. I still feel victimized by the 1st Capt. America (which I saw in a theater for reasons I still can't explain :dunno:)
