The Slap

[CandiCame]

I actually just watched the first episode of that. I thought it was super boring. If Spock smacked the shit outta my kid I'd punch him right in his face. I wouldn't sue him.

Sylar was a badder ass.

Loved the book, read it in three days. Really liked the Australian series, although I think the "Anouk" chapter and episode could've been omitted without affecting the storyline. It could be because I find Essie Davis (Anouk) a tad grating but then she's just wonderful in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.
And the voice over by the dulcet tones of William McInnes, mmmmmmm...... just lovely

You watch a lot of the idiot box.

It was 3 or 4 years back.

I love a good drama. Don't watch any soaps or shit. But you're right I do post a lot about good stuff I've watched!

I ended up watching both episodes. I actually thought it was decent. I think the little shit deserved that slap and I can't imagine a world where he didn't.

I like Zachary Quinto a lot. I think he's a pretty good actor.

The show is a little slow, but I didn't think it was bad at all. All I can say is I can't stand those fucking hippie parents with that bratty ass kid.

That isn't how tv works? I just assumed.

The kid would have to be Hitler Jr. for me to be able to watch him getting slapped every week. Like, a new Hitler Jr. every week getting some sense knocked into him maybe. Maybe.

About how many Hitler Jr.s are there in the world? Enough for a whole TV show devoted to slapping them?

I ended up watching last night, too. The second episode was more engaging than the first. I'm in. I have the series set to record.

I agree. The second episode moved a bit faster.

He deserved a whipping- you don't hit kids in the face. And you don't hit other people's kids. If some kid hits yours with a bat, you go to the parents and tell them to control their kid. If you have to hit somebody in the face, you hit the dad. I've never hit my daughter, and I can't imagine I'll ever have to- and if somebody else did, don't care how big of a bitch she was being, it would be a fucking fight. Because you don't hit other people's kids. In any world.

I actually like Quinto a lot to. I love everything else he's been in. I just didn't care for this show because I didn't think any of the characters were genuine. I couldn't care about them. I think it's one of those shows that other people will like and I won't. And I hate those because if it gets big then I have to either announce that I'm not cool and listen to people tell me that I'm wrong and just need to give it a chance, or I have to fake my way through all the conversations. I did it with Twilight recently. Everyone at my office was fucking obsessed with Twilight. I know that it's popular and people enjoy it. But it's not for me. And when you say that, people seem to think that you're attacking them. Like because you dislike something that they like, it means you dislike them. Which is not how it works. This bitch I live with watched reality tv for fuck's sake. You think I wanna watch a show called "16 and Pregnant?" But I still like her.

God that Noah movie recently too... Everybody fucking loved that and it was objectibly bad. It didn't stick to the source material so you couldn't even use that as an excuse. Just a bad movie. People loved it. Annoying.
