Toepick.

So USA decided to make a "made for tv movie." I have no problems with that. Tv stations make lots of made for tv movies. But the people at USA really hit the jackpot with their latest, The Cutting Edge 2. I can just see some guy pitching this idea to his boss...

Genius: Let's take a mildly successful theatrical movie and make a sequel to it. it'll be awesome.
Boss: Boy that sounds like an excellent idea... here's a lot of money we don't need to make a failure of a movie. make me proud.
Genius: If this doesn't work, we should make "If looks could kill: Part 2."

i mean seriously folks... who's gonna watch this? i mean the cutting edge had it's moments... and holds a firm part of a small portion of my growing up cause mom loved it and watched it all the time. plus it still has some decent jokes in it. but where do you go after the first movie... i mean... everything is taken care of in the movie... they win the gold at the olympics and they fall in love. story over.

What good is a made for tv movie? you don't get box office profits. i mean i guess if you were a company and wanted to advertise... you could advertise there? do made for tv movies get more ratings than just regular tv? who knows?

Spring Break.

So if all my classes meet the rest of the week... i'd have 3 classes to go to... 5pm on thursday, 10:10am and 1:25pm on friday. luckily for me the 5pm was cancelled a long time ago. The 10:10 was cancelled tonight after we all finished our project presentations. The 1:25 which i normally have to go to... is going to be an online experiment. SCORE. so now instead of having a 9 day spring break... it's now 11 days.... let me say it again... SCORE.
