Digital Cable

My brother somehow convinced my parents to get one of those digital cable boxes. And it's so awesome! 300 channels to surf through! And then sometimes there's nothing to watch even though there are 300 channels to surf through.

Some things I started wondering about:

Why is there twenty channels of sports? A whole channel devoted to golf? Baseball all day/night long?

Because there was nothing to watch on a Saturday morning, I was watching "Superbabies, Baby Genuises 2" on HBO. The odd thing about this movie was that the babies were dressed in a shirt and a diaper throughout the whole movie. Who doesn't put pants on their babies? Who lets their toddler walk around in a shirt and just a diaper? That's just weird. The weirder part was that the toddler's shirts were all short so that it showed their belly button poking out from the top of the diaper. And they went out in public like this! One of the caretakers put them in a stroller and walked them out into the town dressed in just a shirt! That's just inappropriate dressing to me.

"Son of the Mask" The baby in this movie was fully clothed, except for the diaper changing scene where he peed all over his father. It's just weird not seeing Jim Carrey doing his crazy personas in the mask. Jamie Kennedy is funny and all, but no one can replace the Mask original.

The Animal Planet channel is the bomb! I love the "Most Extreme" show where they do a countdown of animals who are the most extreme in a certain category. Last night, it was the most extreme survivor. And rats came in at #9. Apparantly, there are now super rats who are immune to poison. So the only real way to kill them is by luring them into those old fashion mousetrap and hoping it'll swish em to death, or you have to club them to death. They won't drown if you flush them down the toilet. They'll just bite a hole through the pipes.

"Alexander" is such a gay movie! Seriously. Men fighting alongside one another were in love with one another. Alexander himself kept lusting after other males. Why? Oh, and Jared Leto is sooooo HOT in this movie. My brain got confused by the constant "Oh he's so hot" and "oh why is he in love with Alexander?" battle going on in my head.

Why is there still about a dozen channels of public access television on DIGITAL CABLE???

I love the Bravo channel for allowing shows like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and "Project Runway" to exist.

Ten minutes of "Ocean's Twelve" dubbed in Spanish is quite amusing.

Only two channels of non-stop cartoons? Come on now!

The baby in "Meet the Fockers" is so CUTE! Especially when he's trying to say asshole. When the Boy and I watched the movie in the theater, I couldn't stop imitating the baby saying asshole. Watching it again just makes me laugh even harder.

After all this, it'll be extra hard to go back to regular basic cable.
