American Idol Review – Season Premier – Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Thursday, January 14th, 2010 | Television | No Comments

The ratings juggernaut and pop culture phenomenon known as American Idol hit the small screen starting out with auditions in Boston to kick off its ninth season. Idol has been garnering a lot of internet chatter with the departure of Paula Abdul and addition of Ellen Degeneres. You know I can picture Paula sitting in front of her television last night surrounded by a pile of tissues and bon bons crying out why? Why did I ever leave American Idol?

We were privileged to have Victoria Beckham as the celebrity judge. I mean a person with the musical pedigree of the Spice Girls must certainly be able to spot talent, right? Another thing on Mrs. David Beckham I noticed was that she always looks like she’s posing into the camera…the head tilted over slightly, the pursed lips, the sucked in cheeks. I hadn’t seen so many model face poses since I watched Ben Stiller on Zoolander. And someone please pass her a Big Mac, her collar bones were jumping out of my television and poking me in the face!

The first contestant to grace us with their amazing talent and stage presence was some crazy girl who practiced auditioning using the American Idol video game. She said on the game that Simon loved her…obviously video game Simon is deaf because in real life this girl was horrible. In the end all the self-talk and jumping in the mirror did her no good as she was quickly told to “Stop singing…FOREVER!”

Other crazies who entertained us were the blond spiritual guy with acne who apparently sucked down some helium right before he started to sing, the Michael Jackson kid with the huge head of hair, and the Clark Kent guy who was angry about having to wait all day. I hope they had security walk that guy out of the building because he looked like he seriously wanted to kill someone. In all there were 32 people who made it through to Hollywood.

Idol season 9 brought us nothing new, but hey, when you’ve got the number one show on television the old adage of, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, seems appropriate.

Searching For A Better Way To Improve The Look Of Your Television?

Consider A TV Wall Mount Bracket Or A Television Lift!
Make Your Home Look Great With TV Wall Arm Mounts And Lifts

When it comes to optimizing your viewing pleasure while also keeping your home looking contemporary and clutter-free, you can’t go wrong with TV wall arm mounts and other accessories, such as television lifts.

As televisions have evolved, so have our methods for displaying and using them. Whereas televisions of the past were simply placed within entertainment cabinets or on tables, this no longer needs to be the case with today’s televisions.

Not only have modern televisions grown to a size that simply isn’t conducive to being placed within a cabinet, flat screen televisions are so lightweight that they can be hung on the wall with the help of TV wall arm mounts. Or, they can even be hidden away when not in use with the help of a television lift.

By using a TV wall mount bracket or other form of specialized mount, homeowners can enjoy a number of fantastic benefits including…

Hanging the television on the wall makes an entertainment stand or table unnecessary, which helps free up floor space and create a sleeker, more clutter-free look
Placing the television at the optimal viewing level and angle, as there are no restrictions on height as within entertainment cabinets
Tilting the television to the ideal viewing angle, as high-quality TV wall arm mounts now allow television owners to adjust the angle and lock it into place once the perfect angle is achieved

For those who want to take sophistication and contemporary ambience a step further than TV wall arm mounts, using a television lift may be for you!

With television lifts, you can actually hide the television away and use a remote control to access the television when desired.

For example, the television may be hidden away in a wooden chest at the foot of the bed. When the television is not in use, the chest may be used for added seating or for laying out clothes for the next day. When the owner is ready to watch television, he or she only needs to press a button and the television will rise from the chest with the help of an internal motorized lift.

Simply put, today’s television owner has several options available when it comes to installing and watching a television. No longer are they stuck with finding a table or cabinet that is large enough and strong enough to withstand the bulky weight of a television. Rather, they can hang their televisions from the wall with the help of a TV wall mount bracket — or even hide their televisions away in a cabinet, bench, inside the wall or under the floor.

For those who love entertainment, but want their homes to look great while enjoying all that today’s contemporary televisions provide, these truly are great devices to add to any home.

Boston Legal seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset

Thursday, January 14th, 2010 | Television | No Comments

I have started the beginning of this article for a long time, but I have not gone on writing. I’m afraid that I cannot write it well, that I cannot fully express my opinions on this series clearly, to make a highly perceptivate understanding of this series. And I even like to watch Boston Leagal Seasons 1-5 once again in order to understand its thoughts better. However, time and energy do not permit and I can only go on writing this article as I’m free tody.

I have finished lots of American TV series and quite some of them are excellent words. However, there’s no one like Boston Leagal which has largely influenced me, indeed I’ll will go further, it subtly change me a lot.

Boston Legal followed the personal and professional exploits of a group of attorneys working at the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

The main characters in Boston Leagal Sesons 1-5 are a pair of sucessful lawyers, Alan Shore and Denny Crane.

Alan is in his forties, a man of alternative style. He acts peculiarly. He is subject to strange deseases like aphasia and sleepwalking. However, Alan’s talents are quite extraordinary. Her’s good at long closing and he is able to find the dark sides in the inner world of a man. He holds a certain fascination for women. Alan is also a typical liberalist. Denny is in her seventies. She is unbeaten and has fully won in more than 6,000 lawsuits. Denny is a legend in law-politic field. She is assailed with light dementia, struggling between outstanding and mania. She loves guns. She is an absolut conservative, diametrically opposed to Alan. However, these two persons become intimate friends.

Boston Legal is rich in connotations. Through one and another judicial cases, Boston Legal involves problems about American culture, society, law, religion and human nature. After finishing Boston Leagal Sesons 1-5, I found that career, friend and freedom become more and more important for me.

Here I cannot cover all the contents but to talk about the several aspects that have impressed me most in briefly (I will tald about these aspects in details in the following articles):

1. Friendship and Love
2. american Culture
3. Human Nature
4. Man
